Top Home Design Trends in 2025: Inspiring Your Dream Home with Wilkinson Homes

At Wilkinson Homes, we’ve committed to building more than just new homes in Delaware for over 30 years—we craft spaces that inspire and feel like home from the moment you step inside. One way we bring this vision to life is by staying ahead of the curve when it comes to home design—and this shows when you walk through any of our stunning homes. 

Our homes in Newark, Dover and Felton, DE, are thoughtfully curated to showcase the latest trends, offering potential homebuyers a glimpse into the possibilities of modern living. As we step into the new year, here are the top home design trends influencing our designs and redefining what it means to live comfortably and stylishly.

Warm minimalism

Minimalism is set to evolve in 2025, with warm tones and textures replacing the stark whites and cool grays of previous years. Our homes embrace this trend with earthy hues, which create a welcoming, tranquil environment. Think natural wood finishes, textured fabrics and curated decor that brings personality without overwhelming the space. Warm minimalism highlights simplicity, functionality and comfort—qualities that resonate deeply with today’s homeowners.

Multi-functional spaces for modern living

As lifestyles become more dynamic, so do the spaces within our homes. In 2025, multi-functional design takes center stage. At Wilkinson Homes, our new homes in Delaware feature flex rooms that can easily adapt to your needs, whether as a home office, guest room or playroom. We’re also showcasing open-concept layouts in our homes with strategic zoning to balance connection and privacy. For instance, a cozy reading nook near a busy kitchen creates opportunities for relaxation without missing out on family interaction.

Bringing the outdoors in

The desire to connect with nature has never been stronger, and 2025 sees biophilic design leading the way. Our new construction homes in Delaware incorporate large windows to maximize natural light, along with plants, greenery and nature-inspired materials like stone and wood to create a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. In our homes, you can see that outdoor living spaces are also gaining importance, with features like covered patios, and decks. These spaces are perfect for everything from entertaining to unwinding after a busy day.

Energy-efficient designs

Energy efficiency continues to revolutionize how we interact with our homes, and in 2025, energy savings are no longer a luxury—they’re an expectation. Wilkinson Homes stays ahead by integrating cutting-edge technology into our model homes. Fantastic insulation, energy-efficient windows and an efficient HVAC system create high performance and peace of mind. We also prioritize sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly features that appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.

Personalized kitchens as the heart of the home

Kitchens remain the centerpiece of the modern home, but in 2025, personalization takes them to the next level. We’re proud to have our model homes showcase stunning kitchen designs with beautiful cabinet colors, paired with statement backsplashes and gold or matte black fixtures. Large kitchen islands with integrated seating encourage gathering and conversation, while walk-in pantries and clever storage solutions keep the space functional and organized.

Spa-like bathrooms to make every day feel like luxury

In 2025, homeowners are seeking sanctuary within their own walls, and spa-inspired bathrooms deliver just that. When you’re walking through our model homes, you’ll find luxurious bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs, walk-in showers and sleek, minimalistic vanities. Calming color palettes, textured tiles and thoughtful lighting create a serene atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a long day. These spaces emphasize wellness and relaxation, making them a key highlight in any home.
