As the flowers bloom and the weather warms up, spring 2025 is ushering in a whole new wave of home and interior design trends. Whether you’re prepping to sell, just moved into a new space, or simply want to freshen things up, these trends will help breathe new life into your home. Even better? Many of them can be achieved on a budget—and a few could even boost your home’s value.
Here’s a look at the top spring home trends for 2025 and how to bring them to life without breaking the bank.
1. Earthy Tones Are the New Neutrals
What’s Trending: Say goodbye to stark whites and cool grays. This spring, warm, earthy tones like terracotta, clay, olive green, and sandy beige are taking center stage. These colors create a cozy, grounded feeling in any room.
Budget Tip: Instead of repainting entire rooms, try incorporating these shades through accessories like throw pillows, curtains, vases, or even peel-and-stick wallpaper.
Potential Value Boost: Neutral but warm tones are more inviting to potential buyers, making spaces feel homey and fresh—perfect for open houses and online listing photos.
2. Textured Walls (Yes, They’re Back!)
What’s Trending: Plaster, limewash, and even fabric-covered walls are bringing depth and character into homes this spring.
Budget Tip: Try a faux plaster look with textured paint or use removable textured wallpaper to achieve a similar vibe without hiring a pro.
Potential Value Boost: When done right, accent walls with unique texture can become conversation pieces that make your home stand out from others on the market.
3. Statement Stone
What’s Trending: Natural stone is having a major moment—think marble countertops, travertine coffee tables, and slate tile. The key is going bold with visible veining and organic shapes.
Budget Tip: You can get the look with faux-stone contact paper for kitchen counters or small décor pieces like stone trays and coasters. Thrift stores are also gold mines for vintage stone pieces.
Potential Value Boost: Real stone in kitchens and bathrooms is a high-value upgrade. If you’re remodeling, consider using stone in key areas to improve resale appeal.
4. Curved Everything
What’s Trending: From furniture to architecture, curves and soft silhouettes are taking over. Arched doorways, rounded sofas, and oval coffee tables create a more organic, inviting atmosphere.
Budget Tip: Look for secondhand furniture with curved lines, or DIY an arched wall mirror using inexpensive materials and online tutorials.
Potential Value Boost: Minor architectural touches like arched entryways or alcoves can modernize a space and impress buyers.
5. Biophilic Design (aka Bringing Nature Indoors)
What’s Trending: The connection to nature continues to influence interior design. Think large houseplants, natural wood finishes, and materials like jute, rattan, and linen.
Budget Tip: Start with easy-care plants like pothos or snake plants, and add wood or rattan touches with furniture from Facebook Marketplace or IKEA.
Potential Value Boost: Homes that feel calming and connected to nature can be more appealing, especially in urban settings where buyers crave that indoor-outdoor balance.
6. Multifunctional Spaces
What’s Trending: With remote and hybrid work still going strong, rooms that serve multiple purposes—like guest room/offices or kitchen/dining workspaces—are more important than ever.
Budget Tip: Use furniture like fold-out desks, Murphy beds, or modular storage systems to make the most of limited space.
Potential Value Boost: Buyers love flexible layouts. If your space shows off how it can function for work, sleep, and play, it could give you a leg up in the market.
7. Sustainable & Vintage Finds
What’s Trending: Sustainability is not just a lifestyle—it’s a design choice. Vintage furniture, repurposed décor, and secondhand items are stylish and eco-conscious.
Budget Tip: Shop local thrift stores, estate sales, or online marketplaces for unique pieces. Bonus: vintage items often come at a fraction of the cost of new ones.
Potential Value Boost: Highlighting eco-conscious upgrades (like energy-efficient lighting or upcycled materials) can be a selling point for environmentally minded buyers.
8. Bold Lighting Fixtures
What’s Trending: Lighting is no longer just functional—it’s a focal point. Expect to see sculptural pendant lights, oversized lamps, and retro-inspired sconces.
Budget Tip: Update an outdated fixture with a bold, budget-friendly piece from places like Wayfair, Target, or even DIY a thrifted lamp base with spray paint and a new shade.
Potential Value Boost: Swapping out dated lighting for modern fixtures is an easy, cost-effective way to give your home an instant refresh that buyers will notice.
