Every year, home design evolves. As a new homebuyer, you want timeless style, but it’s also exciting to embrace fresh trends.
What’s In for 2025–2026
Warm Neutrals: Creams, soft taupes, and warm grays are replacing cool tones.
Natural Materials: Stone, wood accents, and organic textures bring nature inside.
Statement Lighting: Chandeliers and modern pendants double as décor pieces.
Outdoor Living: Covered patios, firepits, and outdoor kitchens extend living space.
Smart Home Features: Wi-Fi–enabled thermostats, security systems, and EV chargers.
What’s On Its Way Out
All-white kitchens (now softened with natural wood).
Formal living rooms (flexible multipurpose spaces are preferred).
Wall-to-wall carpeting (hardwood and luxury vinyl are leading).
A.R. Builders’ Take
We balance trend with timelessness. Our homes feature design-forward elements while ensuring they’ll look beautiful for decades to come.
