Some are calm, some are wild, and some spaces are downright quirky. Ready for a peek at some of the coolest and craziest home makeovers? Let’s dive right in!

I Couldn’t Afford Gucci Wallpaper, So I Went With Paint (Landlord’s Verdict Pending!)
Decorating these days? Anything goes! It’s all about showing your true self - even the weird bits. 2025 was the year of “more is more” - bold colors, big statements, and zero holding back.
But heads up: decor trends change fast. What’s cool now might be totally dated soon. The good news? Color-drenched walls (yep, painting whole rooms one bold color) are hanging around a bit longer. So if you jumped on that bandwagon, you’re good!
Design pro Jade Joyner spills: "We're moving away from boring white to rooms drenched in color." Get ready for deep blues, greens, and a lot more oomph.

Maximalism, baby! Moody, rich colors like burgundy, olive, and tobacco are making rooms feel like fancy cigar bars (but, you know, clean and classy). Say bye-bye to plain white walls and hello to saturated tones stealing the spotlight.
Even kitchens are leaving their all-white phase behind. Designers want cozy, layered spaces with deep greens, blues, and warm taupes. So much more interesting!

Want to be trendy but not broke? Good news! Vintage and second-hand stuff is all the rage. People want furniture with stories, not just mass-produced blah.

Breaking out of the usual work zones and diving into pantry perfection. It’s a bit different for me, but I’m proud. Wanna see more angles? Just ask!
Dining rooms are kind of losing their spot in the spotlight. Turns out, people want comfy, laid-back spaces more than formal zones. So dining rooms are getting makeovers into home offices, cozy movie spots, or mini libraries. Super useful and super chill!
