As we step into 2025, the world of interior design is evolving in exciting ways. At Veridian, we’re seeing that homeowners are more intentional than ever before when purchasing or building their dream home, seeking spaces that not only reflect their personal style, but everyday function. We sat down with two of our very talented in-house Interior Designers, Lyndsay Johnson and Michaela Liermann who graciously filled us in on the top design trends they anticipate in 2025, from flooring to cabinetry, and beyond. Let’s dive in!
Flooring: Durable and Natural-Toned LVP Lead the Way
This year, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring will continue to dominate the market, offering homeowners durability, style, and ease of maintenance. What’s even better? The quality of LVP has improved dramatically in the last decade, making it the go-to choice for homeowners looking for both value and beauty. Key trends include:

- Medium to light tones: Homeowners are gravitating toward natural visuals with minimal variation between planks, creating a seamless, calming look that complements modern interiors.
- Stone visuals: LVP and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products featuring stone-like patterns are increasingly popular, especially in bathrooms and laundry rooms where durability and water resistance are key.
- LVT in bathrooms and laundry: Replacing sheet vinyl or ceramic tiles, LVT is also becoming the preferred option for these high-moisture areas, again offering both functionality and style.

Cabinetry: Soft Neutrals, Natural Tones, and Elevated Designs
Cabinetry is evolving with a focus on natural tones, rich color contrasts, and personalized touches. While white cabinets remain the most popular choice, we are seeing a shift toward softer, creamier whites and richer, more dynamic accents. Here’s what’s trending in cabinetry:

- Softer whites and natural wood tones: Bright, crisp whites are giving way to warmer, more inviting tones, paired with natural wood accents for a balanced, sophisticated look.
- Rich, saturated colors: Deep shades of green, dark taupe, and even some black hues are making their way into kitchens, creating bold contrasts and adding a touch of luxury.
- Stain colors: Light, natural stains such as our “Stone” and “Toast” stains will remain popular, reflecting a clean, organic aesthetic.
- Elevated design details: Homeowners are investing in higher-end cabinetry, with taller uppers, crown molding, and paneling on islands and cabinet ends. Wood chimney hoods and additional detailing can elevate even the smallest spaces.
- Cabinet profiles: This year, we are featuring two new shaker-inspired profiles—Madison, which is a skinny shaker cabinet and Woodbury, which is a more traditional cabinetry with extra detailing—are gaining popularity with our homeowners as they offer fresh takes on classic styles.
- Hardware trends: Black and soft gold finishes are replacing brushed nickel and chrome, especially in light fixtures, faucets, and cabinet handles.

Metals: Black and Gold Take the Lead
Black and gold will continue to dominate metal accents, making a statement in every room. These bold tones are showing up everywhere—from lighting fixtures to bathroom faucets and cabinet hardware. The trend is often about mixing the two finishes together for a modern, upscale look, such as gold faucets paired with black bath accessories or two-tone lighting fixtures. If you’re looking for a way to bring a touch of glamour to your home, these mixed metals are the perfect way to do it!

Tile: Rich Textures and Timeless Shapes
Tile is taking a turn toward more subtle, sophisticated designs with a focus on rich textures and tonal variations. The trend is toward lineal shapes and minimalist patterns that add interest without overwhelming the space. Key trends to note include:

- Tonal tiles: Expect to see less color variation in tiles, with more tonal, cohesive looks that create subtle depth.
- Rich, dark tiles: Deep, rich tiles are especially popular in fireplaces, showers, and bathroom floors, providing a grounding, dramatic effect.
- Updated subway tiles: The classic subway tile gets a refresh with handmade edges and textured surfaces, replacing the smooth, polished look of the past.
- Square tiles: A resurgence of square tiles over the traditional rectangular shapes, with more homeowners opting for stacked layouts instead of brick patterns.

Countertops: Delicate Veining and Natural Beauty
We’re seeing an uptick in homeowners choosing countertops that feature delicate veining and textured finishes. The trend is shifting away from large, dramatic veins and toward a more subtle, organic feel. Some standout countertop trends include:
- Quartzite visuals: The look of luxurious quartzite continues to gain traction, but now it’s more affordable thanks to new quartz products that replicate the same aesthetic without the high cost.
- Cream and taupe tones: While white remains a top choice, creamier tones and taupes are gaining ground as homeowners look for warmer, more inviting surfaces.
- Quartz backsplashes: Instead of traditional tile backsplashes, many homeowners are opting for seamless quartz backsplashes, offering both sleek style and easy maintenance.
Paint: Bold Accents and Tonal Rooms
2025 brings a bolder approach to paint than we’ve seen in the past, with warmer colors and dramatic accent walls making their mark. If you’re looking to add some character to your home, here’s where to focus:
- Accent painting: Bold accent colors on ceilings, fireplace chases, and headboard walls are an easy way to inject personality into a room.
- Tonal walls: A seamless, cohesive look with walls, trim, and doors painted in similar shades of the same color is gaining popularity.
- Warmer tones: The cold greys of previous years are giving way to taupes and other rich neutrals, creating a more inviting atmosphere.
- Dark, bold accents: Deep tones like charcoal, navy, and emerald green are being used to create drama and sophistication.

Overall, the design trends of 2025 reflect a broader desire for homes that are both beautiful and functional. From durable, natural flooring options to stylish cabinetry and countertops, every element is about creating a space that works for you, and we’re excited to help you incorporate these trends into your new home and create a space that’s not only on-trend but uniquely yours!
