Home Design Trends to Watch in 2025 (and the doors that support them)

As we head into 2025, design trends are not only reimagining how our homes can look but also how they function and feel. With a continued focus on sustainability, unique materials and nostalgic design, homeowners are embracing the chance to add both style and efficiency to their spaces.  

Ready for a little inspiration? Here’s a look at some of the trends we see taking off in 2025.  

Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Designs

More than ever, eco-conscious design is becoming a central focus for homeowners to minimize environmental impact without sacrificing style. Doors that offer exceptional energy efficiency and durability are at the forefront of this trend. If eco-friendly design is important to you, consider upgrading your front door to a Masonite Performance Door System. These top-of-the-line exterior door systems come with a fiberglass door, a rot-resistant frame and a 4-Point Performance Seal that makes them 64% better at keeping air and water out than the leading competitor. This means fewer leaks and drafts and a reduction in your home's energy — benefiting your wallet and the environment. These doors are perfect for any front door or patio!

Many of the Performance Door system options are ENERGY STAR® certified, too. Like other products with the ENERGY STAR® symbol (think washers and dryers, kitchen appliances), these doors must adhere to strict energy-efficiency standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  

Sustainability doesn’t stop at energy efficiency — it’s also about the materials used and how products are manufactured. Masonite solid core interior doors, for example, are made with recycled materials for a more mindful use of resources. They’re also a durable option that provides enhanced sound dampening — a perfect fit for busy households. Not only are these doors eco-friendly and high-quality, but they provide a pop of style to any home. 

Texture and Material Innovations

Materials and finishes are set to play a starring role in 2025’s home designs. This is apparent in the revival of the oak kitchen design trend. Homeowners are swapping out more modern cabinets for the look of white oak with a minimalist feel. To match all aspects of the kitchen, you can also find pantry doors following this trend, with wood doors that have glass for a more open and inviting feel.

For the exterior of your home, Masonite fiberglass exterior doors offer the option of either a smooth or textured finish, which is ideal if you're looking for that natural wood aesthetic without the upkeep wood requires. Choose a smooth finish you can paint, or go with textured fiberglass you can stain — both options stand up to the elements with ease. 

This trend toward versatile, low-maintenance materials allows homeowners to customize their spaces more easily and creatively. With a door finish that can withstand weather and wear, you get style and durability in one package, making it a worthwhile choice for both entryways and other exterior spaces. 

Wallpaper and Accent Walls

The resurgence of wallpaper and accent walls in 2025 will invite homeowners to make bold, creative statements in their interiors. This vibrant laundry room showcases how a dark, botanical wallpaper can transform a functional space into a design masterpiece. Paired with striking green cabinetry and sleek black accents, the wallpaper adds depth and character, showing that even the most utilitarian rooms can be stylish and inspiring. 

Whether it's through bold patterns or rich textures, wallpaper and accent walls are a perfect way to elevate your home's design with personality.

Embracing Style Throughout the Home 

Some design trends delve into reimagining entire spaces. One style that will be popular this coming year is the Western Gothic aesthetic, which combines modern elements with rustic vintage touches — think dark wood tones, metal accents and rich textures.  

This trend pairs beautifully with dark doors, like our Lincoln Park 1 Panel, which has a simple yet solid design that adds elegance without overpowering other elements in the home’s décor. Additionally, homeowners with an interest in a Western Gothic kitchen should consider a door like our interior Full Lite. This door brings an ethereal feel to the home and can help bring light to darker spaces.    

Speaking of kitchens, open-concept kitchens may be taking a back seat as more homeowners opt for closed kitchens that allow for better organization and privacy. This layout can reduce noise and isolate kitchen smells, adding a sense of order to your living space.  

Complement your closed-kitchen setup with our Livingston interior solid core door to enhance privacy without sacrificing style. This door’s understated elegance provides separation without overwhelming the kitchen’s aesthetic. Another great option for homeowners interested in a Craftsman-style closed kitchen is the Winslow 3 Panel solid core door. This door’s solid core reduces sound and features modern panels for a sophisticated style.   

Bringing Home the Right Trend for You

As 2025 approaches, homeowners have an array of exciting trends to explore. The range of Masonite doors designed with quality, convenience and style in mind offers the perfect complement to these trends, ensuring your home stays both current and uniquely yours. 

Whether you’re redesigning a single room or transforming your whole home, these trends can offer inspiration to guide your choices, so you can create a space that’s functional, stylish and truly future-ready.
