10. Multiple outdoor cooking options

Cook anything & everything outside

Homeowners want more than just a grill for backyard dining.

They’re increasingly using other outdoor cooking methods, such as pizza ovens, smokers, ceramic kamado-style barbecues and Argentinian-style gaucho grills that use wood or charcoal.

Design Trend #9 - Layers of Color, Patterns & Textures

 

9. Layers of color, pattern and texture

Moving away from the minimalist decor trends

Maximalist styles are layering in bold color, patterns and textures. The design approach celebrates abundance and allows homeowners to furnish their homes with pieces that reflect their personalities.

For example, grooved wall and ceiling paneling are being done in bold colors, and more patterns are entering everything from drapery and rugs to furniture and pillows.

Design Trend #8 - Wood-Infused Architectural Warmth


8. Wood-infused architectural warmth

2025 and beyond is all about neutrals and a warmer feeling interior

Adding “warmth” into an interior has become a popular buzzword in home design, marking a shift away from cool whites and grays. Color trends are moving more into off-whites, creams, beiges, tans and browns. Paired with warm neutral palettes, earthy tones and organic colors, we're seeing wood elements used as ceiling beams, trim, mill-work, wall paneling, posts and cabinetry to add architectural warmth to spaces throughout the home.

2025 12 NY Resolutions For Your Home - JULY: Schedule a plumbing check-up

 

JULY 2025:
Schedule A Plumbing Check-up

A yearly check-up on your home’s plumbing system from a master plumber can save you money and heartache by preventing problems before they spiral out of hand.

Once your home’s plumbing is in good health, keep it that way by regularly checking for common sources of leaks:

Check your water heater: Check your water heater once every two months for signs of aging or leaks.

Test your main shut-off valve: Be sure you know how to operate the main shut-off valve for your plumbing system in case of an emergency.

What’s even more crucial is knowing that it works. Remember to test your shut-off valve once a month in the summer and twice a month in the winter when pipes are prone to bursting.

Design Trend #7 = Narrow Wet Rooms

7. Narrow Wet Rooms

From unassuming to a BOLD and Beautiful update

Wetroom bathrooms—typically a shower and tub in a spacious shower area—have grown in popularity in recent years. But wet rooms are now being added in smaller, narrower spaces, too.

Placing a tub at the back of a long room, with a separate shower in front, gives homeowners with tight spaces a wet room arrangement that looks and feels more luxurious than the standard shower-tub combo.
