Embracing Trends While Staying True to Your Style

Heather with Heather DiSabella Interior Design (HDID) is our guest blogger this month. HDID is a boutique studio located on the beautiful Eastern Shore, serving the surrounding areas including Annapolis, Easton and St. Michaels. Their design philosophy is based on the belief that design is not just about aesthetics, but also about creating environments that make you feel at ease, inspire your best self, and reflect who you truly are. They specialize in full-service residential design, we are a close-knit team of passionate creatives.

In the ever-evolving world of interior design, trends come and go faster than ever. But the key to a timeless, inviting space isn’t about chasing every new trend—it’s about thoughtfully blending current styles with classic design choices to create a home that feels both fresh and enduring. Here at HDID, we believe in being mindful about trends while prioritizing what brings you joy. After all, your home should be a reflection of your personality and what makes you happy, not just a mirror of what’s popular at the moment.

Trends Worth Watching in 2025

While we encourage you to design with intention and authenticity, some trends are undeniably exciting and can bring new energy to your spaces. Here are a few we’re loving this year:

Rich, Warm, and Comfortable Tones

Say goodbye to the all-beige era! People are moving away from neutral, monotone spaces and embracing deeper, more vibrant hues. Think burgundies, browns, and deep reds—colors that evoke warmth, comfort, and richness. These tones offer a cozy contrast to the light oatmeals, beiges, and whites that dominated in recent years.

Texture Takes Center Stage

Materials with tactile appeal are making waves. Raw wood, honed stone, and leathered textures add depth and character to your interiors. Matte ceramics are also trending, offering an understated yet elegant finish. These elements create a sense of groundedness and natural beauty in any space.

Sustainable and Ethically Made Products

The shift toward sustainability continues to gain momentum, with a focus on ethically made furniture and decor. Moving away from “fast furniture,” homeowners are investing in high-quality, long-lasting pieces that are better for the environment and align with conscious living values.

Rechargeable Portable Lamps

Lighting is evolving with the rise of rechargeable, portable lamps. These functional and stylish additions provide flexibility, making it easier than ever to create ambiance wherever you need it—no outlets required.

Mixing Wood Tones

Gone are the days of perfectly matching wood finishes. A mix of wood tones adds dimension and visual interest, with subtle red undertones in stains becoming particularly popular. We’re also seeing a shift back to walnut finishes, offering a richer alternative to the lighter white oak that’s been prevalent in recent years.

Design for Longevity

While trends can inspire and refresh your space, we recommend integrating them in a way that complements timeless elements. A mix of classic pieces and trend-forward touches ensures your home feels stylish today and for years to come. Ultimately, the most important trend to follow is your own sense of joy. Fill your spaces with things that make you happy, and your home will always feel on-trend.
