If you’re looking for inspiration for home renovation projects this fall, we’ve got you covered.

Construction and design platform Houzz just released its 2025 U.S. Fall Design Trends Report, which breaks down emerging home design trends based on insights from its community of more than 70 million homeowners and home design enthusiasts and more than 3 million residential construction and design professionals.

Houzz found that homeowners are embracing textures, statement countertops and backsplashes, and personality-driven decisions.

According to the design and construction pros on Houzz, more homeowners are making bold choices this upcoming season. Think jewel tones, interesting wallpaper, statement ceilings, painted doors, and playful patterns that show off an owner’s individuality and aren’t cookie-cutter.

“The shift reflects a move away from resale-driven decisions toward deeply personal designs, with homeowners opting for vivid, expressive details that make their spaces feel unique and emotionally resonant,” explains Houzz home design expert Mitchell Parker.

From boucle and grasscloth to plaster, zellige tile, fluting, and handcrafted details, layered textures are gaining in popularity. Designers on Houzz are treating texture as the new neutral, using it to bring warmth, depth, and subtle dimension to homes to create rich, lived-in spaces.

Statement countertops and backsplashes are becoming the centerpiece of kitchens, with quartzite and stone with dramatic veining in high demand, according to the online platform. “Homeowners are seeking one-of-a-kind slabs that feel like art, alongside trending tiles such as zellige and other handcrafted options,” Parker says.

Wallpaper Re-Revival

Wallpaper has had several revivals in recent years—and this year is no exception. But it’s not just for walls. It’s also showing up frequently on ceilings, along with other design treatments like bold paint, beams, and coffers to add character and highlight architectural details.

Integrated, Hidden Features

According to Houzz, design is getting smarter and more discreet. Hidden appliances, panel-ready cabinetry, hydraulic lift storage, pop-up TVs, concealed hoods, and integrated lighting are growing in popularity thanks to their sleek, clutter-free look. “These innovations keep open-plan homes streamlined and functional while adding a touch of modern sophistication,” Parker explains.
