8 Design Trends to Watch for This Summer

Trends come and go, with each season ushering in new design ideas to capture homebuyers’ attention. In its 2025 U.S. Houzz Emerging Summer Trends Report, home remodeling and design platform Houzz analyzed design trends that will likely be popular among homebuyers this summer. These include color-drenched rooms, wood-filled interiors, vintage-inspired design, warm metal finishes, and the return of French country style, among others.

To keep spaces looking fresh and vibrant, homeowners are seeking ideas for interesting approaches to palettes. Searches for “color drenching,” in which a single color is used for a room’s walls, trim, ceiling and sometimes furniture, are up a staggering 325%.
