Design Trends: What’s In and What’s Out for 2025

Hi there! With 2025 kicking off its vital to know that the world of architecture and design is buzzing with fresh trends that reflect our evolving lifestyles, environmental awareness, and shifting aesthetic preferences. At Geschke Group Architecture, we’re excited to dive into this year’s trends and help you make the most of them in your own spaces.

What’s In: Embracing Modernity with a Touch of Nature

Sustainable Materials and Eco-Friendly Designs:

This year and next, sustainability is front and center. We’re seeing a big push towards eco-friendly materials like recycled metals, reclaimed wood, and bamboo. Green roofs, solar panels, and rainwater harvesting systems are becoming must-haves in new constructions. At Geschke Group Architecture, we’re thrilled to incorporate these green practices into our designs, making sure your space is as kind to the planet as it is to you.

Biophilic Design:

Biophilic design is all about bringing a bit of the outdoors inside, it’s more popular than ever and will continue to be a staple in home designing. Think indoor gardens, living walls, and large windows that flood your space with natural light and stunning views. Water features and natural textures are being used to create calming, productive environments. We love integrating these elements into our projects to make your home feel like a serene retreat. We talk about biophilic design in our blog post “Architecture and Wellness: Designing for Health and Wellbeing” if you are interested in reading more.

Multi-Functional Spaces:

With remote work and flexible lifestyles on the rise, multi-functional spaces are becoming a big hit. Open-plan layouts that combine living, working, and recreational areas are all the rage. They offer adaptability and efficiency, perfect for today’s dynamic way of living. At Geschke Group Architecture, we love designing versatile spaces that fit seamlessly into your life.

What’s Out: Moving Away from Past Trends

Overly Industrial Aesthetics:

The stark, raw look of exposed pipes and concrete floors is gradually fading away. In 2025, we’re shifting towards more refined, polished interiors that blend modern functionality with warmth and comfort. It’s all about creating spaces that feel inviting and stylish, not just utilitarian.

Monochromatic Color Schemes:

Monochromatic schemes are losing their shine. Instead of single-color palettes and stark contrasts, designers are embracing richer, more varied color combinations. This shift brings more depth and personality to spaces, creating environments that are dynamic and engaging.

Excessive Ornamentation:

Gone are the days of excessive ornamentation and elaborate detailing. The trend is moving towards simplicity and subtlety. We’re focusing on understated, elegant details that showcase craftsmanship and quality without overwhelming the space. At Geschke Group Architecture, we’re all about highlighting the beauty of a well-designed, timeless space.

Staying ahead of these trends can help you create spaces that are not only stylish but also forward-thinking. If you’re curious about how these trends might fit into your next project or just want to chat about your design ideas, reach out to us at Geschke Group Architecture. We’re excited to explore these trends with you and make your architectural dreams a reality!

Looking forward to working together and creating something amazing!
