2025 is set to be an exciting year for home décor, with fresh trends that promise to elevate interior spaces. One of the most anticipated highlights is:
Pantone’s Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse
2025’s delicious Colour of the Year is an exquisite brown that radiates a subtle elegance.
This incredibly versatile colour can serve as a bold accent against neutrals, make a striking statement when used on its own, or act as a harmonizing tone when paired with deeper shades.
As the trend shifts toward richer, earthier tones, this colour is the perfect choice. People want spaces to feel more intimate and grounded, and these shades provide a comforting atmosphere.

Connect to Nature
Biophilic design integrates elements of nature into home décor to boost well-being and creativity. This is achieved through abundant natural light, indoor plants and greenery that thrive in a naturally lit environment. Nature-inspired patterns in wallpaper, furniture, rugs and accents are also key.
At Geranium, our homes are designed to maximize the effects of natural light with extra-large ENERGY STAR qualified windows, as well as sliding patio doors, up to 16 feet wide, ensuring a seamless transition to the outdoors.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the Belwood Estates’ Great Room with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
In 2025, outdoor living spaces and three-season rooms will be central to how we design our homes. As people seek more ways to connect with nature, it’s important we create versatile spaces for relaxation and extend living areas year-round. Geranium has evolved these outdoor spaces into stylish, functional, and comfortable retreats.
Our homes are designed to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with outdoor serenity, as demonstrated in this 3-Season Room at Courts of King’s Bay.
Open Concept
The open concept design trend is not a new one, but 2025 brings a fresh approach that embraces more flexibility, functionality, and thoughtful zoning. While open spaces are popular for their airy feel, designers are now focusing on maintaining visual openness without sacrificing privacy, comfort, or purpose. This can be accomplished through thoughtful furniture placement, area rugs, and even colour blocking.
Lighting can also help to create zones. Using multiple types of lighting (layering) – task, ambient and accent, adds dimension and warmth to a room, allowing its mood to evolve throughout the day.
Open, flowing living spaces in this Allegro model home strike a perfect balance, offering both a sense of openness and privacy in each room.
Flexible Spaces
Adaptable environments allow for multifunctional use, allowing spaces to effortlessly transform to meet changing needs throughout the day, and year.
“We design flexible spaces that can serve multiple functions. For example, a home office can easily become a main floor bedroom,” explains Stephanie Lane, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Geranium. “This allows us to accommodate changing needs over time.”
It’s also important to design spaces that adapt to the needs of a multi-generational family where every area evolves to support connect, comfort, and privacy for all ages. At Geranium we consider the benefits of flexible living spaces for multi-generational families when designing our homes.
A flexible space, like this one at Clarehaven Estates, can effortlessly be converted into a Bedroom, Media Room, or any space that fits your needs.
Wellness at Home
As the emphasis on mental and physical well-being continues to grow, wellness spaces are becoming an essential trend in 2025. These areas are designed to promote relaxation, mindfulness, and balance, offering a retreat from the chaos of daily life. From mindful lighting and calming colour palettes in smaller spaces, to designated wellness zones for working out, yoga, meditation or just relaxing, these areas encourage well-being.
At Geranium, we embrace this trend by designing multi-use spaces that can provide a welcome retreat after a busy day.
This workout area is the perfect fit in our Holland model at Midhurst Valley.
