When building a brand-new house, everyone wants to be confident in their home design choices. But most people don’t have it all figured out right from the start.
That’s 100% okay. Building with Bielinski Homes means having a home design pro in your corner at every step. We’re here to help you understand your options, guide you through the selection process, and make choices that fit your vision.
And there’s no better place to begin than exploring the latest home design trends across materials, styles, colors, and patterns.
Ready to get inspired? Here are our top 7 home design trends to try in 2025.
1. Au Naturel
As we talked about in our “Home Design Trends for 2025” blog, home buyers continue to draw inspiration from the natural world.
We see this trend especially in interior design selections for the kitchen. Natural materials always add a sense of warmth to a room, making any space feel more open and inviting.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring isn’t just a top choice for its durability. It also gives you a wide range of realistic wood grain options — with lighter Scandinavian or honey oak hues favored over medium or darker tones.
The same holds true for cabinets, with stained wood becoming more popular.
2. Quartz
There are two distinct sides to this story.
One is the popularity of quartz based on simple practicality. It’s by far the top choice for kitchen countertops — offering outstanding strength and resistance to chips, scratches, and stains.
The other side to quartz’s appeal is its natural beauty. (See the trend toward natural materials above.) Each slab is one of a kind, featuring unique veining and color patterns. Customers today favor lighter-colored quartz countertops in warm, muted neutrals with more subtle veining — rather than cooler grays or blues.
3. Go Bold
More and more homeowners are looking for opportunities to add character and movement to their home. Most often, they focus on either the primary bath or powder room.
Here, we see the exact opposite of what’s happening in the kitchen. Instead of lighter, neutral tones, on-trend bath designs feature dark-on-dark hues for both cabinets and tile to make a dramatic visual statement.
In fact, black granite countertops have been a popular Design Studio choice for bathrooms lately.
4. Accents
Here’s another interior design trend where homeowners can express their own individual style.
While black, modern fixtures and knobs are still in demand, we see a strong trend toward contrasting colors paired with antique or vintage styles.
For instance, using a bronzed gold faucet and pulls adds an eye-catching highlight to a bath with black granite countertops and dark-stained cabinets.
5. Black Windows
How popular are black windows right now? We install them in almost every model home and RediHome that we build.
That’s echoed by our customers who are building new homes — about 9 out of 10 choose black exterior and black interior windows.
It’s a distinctive, sophisticated look that feels both modern and timeless. No wonder black windows are one of the hottest trends in home design.
6. Siding’s Softer Side
Soft, warm whites are on the rise when it comes to exterior siding choices. One of our most popular offerings is a color called Herringbone — not a creamy yellow, but definitely a mellower, milder tone than bright white.
We’ve seen this trend in every exterior elevation style that Bielinski Homes offers, from Americana and Transitional to Modern Tudor.
7. Exterior Accents
Don’t forget: Siding is far from the only way to make your home’s exterior stand out.
In addition to black windows, black exterior elements (such as the front door, garage door, roof, soffits, and gutters) can help create a striking, contemporary aesthetic.
The next time you drive or walk through a new neighborhood, keep an eye out. Chances are you’ll witness this trend for yourself.
