03/13/25 • 21 min
Are you ready to abandon minimalism and embrace a future rich with color, texture, and sustainability? Discover how home design is evolving by 2025 as we, Maria, Miriam, and Jason, unpack the findings from the ASID trend report. We're shedding light on the shift away from monotonous gray and white palettes to spaces that celebrate wellness and complexity. Prepare to learn about the rise of layered lighting for better sleep and blackout drapes that ensure your sanctuary is serene. We're also talking about the enduring charm of natural elements like real plants, which are not just pretty but also improve air quality.
In our exploration of future trends, we emphasize the importance of accessibility and how it elevates everyone's lifestyle. Listen as we discuss the transformation of luxury from excess to sustainability, featuring bold material combinations and unique designs. The resurgence of moody colors and textures signifies a departure from minimalism, with efficient European-style kitchens and adaptable living spaces taking center stage. As we become more aware of mental health, home design is responding with cozy and flexible environments. New professionals are seeking mentorship and positive office experiences, while builders focus on affordable, low-maintenance options for first-time buyers. Join us in this conversation about longevity, adaptability, and sustainability in design.

Design Trends from KBIS 2025: Curves, Colors, and Freestanding Vanities
What happens when design trends come full circle? In this illuminating conversation with kitchen designer and educator Jan Rutgers, we explore the fascinating evolutions and throwbacks dominating KBIS 2025. Having toured the show for three consecutive years, Jan shares how today's cutting-edge designs are actually sophisticated reimaginings of elements from decades past.
The reign of hard, angular kitchen elements is giving way to what Jan calls "soft geometry" – curved islands, arched cooking hearths, and rounded fixtures that not only look beautiful but solve practical problems like the dreaded "hip bangers" of rectangular corners. These softer forms create more comfortable, functional spaces while adding visual interest.
Color has returned with surprising warmth, featuring muted 70s-inspired palettes of terracottas, greens, and yellows appearing on everything from cabinet doors to appliances. Meanwhile, fluting (also called pole wrap) continues its dominance but is evolving toward wider slat applications that create more architectural presence.
Perhaps most exciting is the movement beyond basic shaker doors, with manufacturers finally introducing leather, metal, and textured center panels. Freestanding vanities lead this charge with curved drawers, multiple finishes, and exceptional interior functionality – proving that beautiful design doesn't require sacrificing practicality.
For designers navigating industry uncertainties, Jan offers valuable perspective on the "changing of the guard" as veterans retire and new professionals enter the field. This transition, coupled with the enduring consumer desire for beautiful, functional spaces, creates opportunities for differentiation through thoughtful marketing and diversified product offerings.
Whether you're a design professional looking to stay ahead of trends or a homeowner planning your next renovation, this episode provides crucial insights into where kitchen and bath design is heading – with one foot firmly planted in the wisdom of the past.
