10 Must-Know Residential Design Trends for Summer 2025

Summer 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting season for home design, with fresh trends that blend comfort, sustainability, and bold personal style. At Cobb Hill Construction, we’re passionate about helping New Hampshire homeowners bring these trends to life—especially in those all-important pockets of the home like kitchens, living spaces, and outdoor retreats. Here are the top 10 trends you’ll want to consider for your next renovation or new build.

1. Warm Earthy Tones Take Center Stage Move over, cool grays! Rich, warm hues like terracotta, olive green, and deep browns are making a comeback, creating inviting spaces that feel both cozy and sophisticated.

2. Sustainable & Natural Materials Eco-friendly design is here to stay. Expect more reclaimed wood, bamboo, cork, and natural stone—materials that look beautiful and minimize environmental impact.

3. Textured Walls and Surfaces Flat walls are out. Textured finishes—think Venetian plaster, wood paneling, and fluted cabinets—add depth and tactile interest to kitchens, living rooms, and even ceilings.

4. Maximalism Makes a Statement Minimalism is giving way to bold self-expression. Layered patterns, vibrant colors, and unique décor pieces let homeowners infuse their spaces with personality and energy.

5. Integrated Indoor-Outdoor Living Seamless transitions between inside and out are a must for summer. Sliding glass doors, covered patios, and outdoor kitchens extend your living space and make entertaining a breeze.

6. Artisanal & Handcrafted Details Custom cabinetry, handcrafted lighting, and bespoke furniture are in demand, adding a personal touch that supports local artisans and makes your home truly unique.

7. Color Drenching for Impact Painting walls, ceilings, and trim in a single bold hue creates a dramatic, cohesive look—perfect for powder rooms, offices, or accent spaces.

8. Mixed Metals in Kitchens and Baths Say goodbye to matchy-matchy hardware. Mixing brass, bronze, and matte black finishes brings a modern, layered feel to kitchens and bathrooms.

9. Nature-Inspired Kitchen Palettes Kitchens are embracing earthy tones and natural textures, pairing wood accents with stone countertops for a grounded, harmonious vibe.

10. Multi-Functional & Flexible Spaces From worktable kitchen islands with open shelving to built-in dining nooks and banquettes, homeowners are prioritizing spaces that adapt to their needs—whether it’s for entertaining, working, or relaxing.

At Cobb Hill Construction, we blend timeless craftsmanship with the latest design trends to create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether you’re dreaming of a kitchen refresh, a sun-filled addition, or a full home renovation, our team is here to bring your vision to life.
