As we move into 2025, here’s some trends we’re watching:

Woven textures are still a gorgeous, sophisticated way to add texture and visual interest. As Houzz points out, we’re seeing this trend pop up everywhere, from breaking up large stretches of kitchen cabinets to stylish bathroom vanities, furniture, and even window treatments. These natural materials bring a touch of warmth and coziness, and contrast beautifully with bold, modern accessories. At RC Designs and Staging, we embrace this trend with wicker accessories like trays and storage boxes, and even incorporate it into cabinetry with wicker-front designs, adding that perfect touch of organic modern style to any home.
Soft curves and rounded edges remain a key element of organic modern design. You’ll find this trend in circular and oval coffee tables (a staple at RC Designs and Staging). Rounded sofas are the perfect foil to sleek, angular chair legs and will elevate any space. We also incorporate this look with our selection of round or oval trays, mirrors, and accessories, creating inviting and visually balanced spaces.


Bringing warmth into interiors remains a major priority in home design. Color palettes are now embracing warmer off-whites, creams, beiges, tans, and browns. As Houzz reports, wood elements are being used extensively—in ceiling beams, trim, millwork, wall paneling, posts, and cabinetry—to create architectural warmth. At RC Designs and Staging, we fully embrace this trend, incorporating a variety of reclaimed, raw, and live-edge wood, often in soft blonde tones, to add that essential layer of natural warmth and texture to our staged homes.
Vintage continues to be a popular design element, especially when mixed with modern pieces. As Lauren Sullivan of Well x Design notes, layering in antique and vintage items can truly transform a house into a home, creating a sense of history and belonging. Nostalgic pieces are particularly effective, adding soul, depth, and character to a space. At RC Designs and Staging, we love incorporating vintage finds, often sourced through thrifting, to add that touch of authentic charm. From vintage books (a frequent thrift store score!) to unique clocks and decorative accessories, these carefully chosen pieces give our staged homes a sense of history and personality, while also aligning with the growing trend of sustainable design.


With the wide-scale adoption of remote or hybrid work in the modern world, dedicated office spaces are a must-have in today’s homes. The need for individual workspaces is especially important in households with multiple working professionals. At RC Designs and Staging, we always emphasize the importance of incorporating a home office when staging, whether it’s a simple writing desk tucked into a quiet nook or a fully equipped executive office. Even smaller spaces can be transformed: as countless DIY projects demonstrate, the smallest room or nook can be repurposed into a productive workspace.
