WELLNESS FOCUSED HOMES:
Designing for Mind and Body in 2025
In 2025, the concept of “home” has evolved beyond shelter and aesthetics—it’s now deeply tied to personal wellbeing. Wellness-focused homes are a rising trend, blending architecture, interior design, and environmental psychology to support both mental and physical health. This shift has led to growing interest in elements like biophilic design, circadian lighting, and intentional layouts that nurture everyday life.
Biophilic design emphasizes the connection between humans and nature. Homes now commonly incorporate natural materials such as stone, reclaimed wood, and linen fabrics. Large windows, skylights, and glass walls are favored to maximize daylighting, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and increasing exposure to natural light cycles. Indoor gardens, green walls, and even small atriums are becoming popular, especially in urban homes, as they bring greenery into everyday spaces and help purify indoor air.
Circadian lighting is another hallmark of wellnessfocused design. Lighting systems are now tailored to mimic the natural progression of daylight—cooler blue tones in the morning to boost energy and warmer amber hues in the evening to promote relaxation. These lighting cues support healthy sleep patterns and improve mood and productivity throughout the day.
Home layouts are also being reconsidered. Instead of rigid rooms, spaces are being designed for fluidity and multifunctionality. Meditation nooks, indoor fitness zones, reading corners, and tech-free lounges are now considered essentials. Acoustics, air quality, and even scent control are being prioritized to create a calm and supportive environment.
Ultimately, wellness-focused homes reflect a holistic approach to living—where architecture actively contributes to health, comfort, and peace of mind. As more people seek balance and mindfulness in daily life, these homes are setting the standard for how we design spaces that care for us.

Spruce Up Your Laundry Room
When you’re stuck inside the house this winter with not much to do, you might be wishing that there was a home improvement project that you could complete – but what? Work on the exterior is probably not going to happen, and tasks like painting might require some windows open. But one area of your home that could probably use some sprucing up is your laundry room. And the great thing is, many of these practical tasks can be easily knocked out this winter!
Consider the following tips:
Add a countertop.
If you have a front-loading washer or dryer, you can add a countertop above them to create the look of a larger space. At the same time, you’ll have a smooth flat surface for folding your laundry or pretreating stains. Set aside drying space.
Provide space for drying by installing a tension rod – just like you would use to hang a curtain or shower curtain. When you pull clothes from the wash or dryer, place them on hangers, and hang on your rod to air dry, or prepare to put away. Once everything is dry, you can easily transfer them back to your closet. Then take down the rod and tuck it away.
You can further expand your drying space by attaching drying racks to your walls that fold out when needed.
Add shelving.
Avoid shelving that can make an already cramped laundry room feel claustrophobic. If you’re small on space, don’t add a cabinet or something that will take up even more. If you need shelving, consider the thin, wired variety. Alternatively, try hooks to hang your ironing board, or a pegboard if you need space to hang clothes. Save even more space by mounting a fold-out ironing board with an upper shelf to store your iron higher up on the wall. Just make sure the iron has room to cool down.
Another potential storage option is to install pedestal drawers directly underneath your washer and dryer to place cleaning supplies, extra towels or anything that can stand to get a little warm from the dryer.
Other quick ways to spruce up your laundry room are to add storage bins or baskets for detergents, dryer sheets and the like; swap out cabinet door handles and knobs for new; and if you have a window, add new drapes. There’s lots of possibility!

Pet-Friendly Home Features:
DESIGNING WITH FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY IN MIND
In 2025, pets are more than companions—they’re considered full-fledged family members, and that shift is transforming the way homes are designed. Pet-friendly home features are now standard in many new builds and renovations, with a strong focus on convenience, cleanliness, comfort, and style. As homeowners seek to create environments that support both their human and animal inhabitants, thoughtful design elements for pets have become not just popular, but expected.
One of the most popular additions is the built-in pet washing station, typically located in a mudroom, laundry room, or near a side entry. These stations make it easy to clean muddy paws, rinse off after a walk, or give a quick bath without hauling pets into a shared bathroom. They often feature handheld sprayers, low-entry tiled basins, non-slip surfaces, and built-in storage for grooming supplies. Some even include drying drawers, haircatching filters, or pull-out ramps for elderly or large dogs, combining functionality with thoughtful accessibility.
Another rising trend is the installation of catwalks— elevated platforms, tunnels, and perches built into walls or along ceilings, offering cats space to explore vertically. This is especially valuable in smaller homes or apartments, where floor space is limited but wall space is available. Some homeowners go further by creating entire “cat rooms” or window hammocks to enrich their pets’ daily environment.
Additional pet-friendly touches include feeding stations built into kitchen islands, under-cabinet water bowls with plumbing access, automated food dispensers, and pet doorbells or motion-triggered access systems for doors and yards. Flooring choices also play a role—many homes now feature durable, scratch-resistant, and easy-to-clean surfaces like luxury vinyl plank or sealed concrete.
For cat owners, hidden litter drawers and custom built-in enclosures provide stylish solutions for managing litter boxes. These features help reduce odors, increase privacy for pets, and seamlessly integrate into cabinetry, under-stair storage areas, or utility closets. The result is a cleaner, more organized home that supports feline comfort without sacrificing design integrity.
Together, these features reflect a growing movement toward inclusive, thoughtful home design that supports the needs of all household members—human and animal alike. They acknowledge that pets bring joy, companionship, and routine to daily life, and they deserve spaces as functional, comfortable, and welcoming as our own. Designing with pets in mind isn’t a trend—it’s the new standard of home living.
MULTI-GENERATIONAL
LIVING IN 2025:
DESIGNING FOR FAMILY AND FLEXIBILITY
In 2025, multi-generational living has become an increasingly common lifestyle choice, reflecting evolving family dynamics and practical needs. More families are choosing to live together across multiple generations—combining aging parents, adult children, and nuclear families under one roof. This trend has prompted a fresh approach to home design, with an emphasis on balancing privacy and shared living.
PRIVACY ZONES
Privacy is a cornerstone of successful multi-generational living. Homes are being designed or retrofitted to include “privacy zones” where each generation can enjoy independence. These may include in-law suites with separate entrances, converted garages or basements, and areas with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. These additions allow family members to live together while maintaining personal space and autonomy.
OPEN-CONCEPT
At the same time, thoughtfully designed shared spaces help strengthen family bonds. Open-concept kitchens, larger dining areas, and expanded living rooms accommodate larger households and encourage connection. Flexible features—like movable partitions and dual-use areas—make it easier to adapt shared zones to different needs throughout the day. Accessibility improvements, such as step-free entries and wider doorways, are also becoming standard to support aging family members.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology further supports this lifestyle. Smart home systems allow different household zones to be customized independently, giving each group control over lighting, climate, and security. These tools also provide discreet ways to monitor the well-being of older residents without compromising their privacy.
The emotional benefits are significant. Families experience deeper intergenerational bonds, enhanced caregiving, and a shared sense of purpose.
Children often develop close relationships with grandparents, while elders enjoy companionship and involvement in daily life.
While multi-generational living can pose challenges—like managing household duties and respecting boundaries— clear communication and intentional design help families navigate these issues effectively.
HOME OFFICE EVOLUTION: DESIGNING FOR FOCUS
IN A HYBRID
WORLD
The home office is no longer a temporary setup— it’s a permanent and purposeful feature in modern living. Even as society moves further from the pandemic, remote and hybrid work continue to thrive, making dedicated home workspaces a top design priority.
SEPARATE AREAS
Today’s home offices are intentionally separated from main living areas to reduce distractions and create a clear boundary between personal and professional life. Spare bedrooms, finished basements, and backyard studios are often repurposed into quiet, focused environments tailored for productivity. For smaller homes, clever use of corners, built-ins, and sliding partitions allows even compact spaces to function efficiently and support full-time or hybrid work schedules.
ACOUSTICS
Acoustic design is key. Homeowners are investing in soundproofing materials, acoustic panels, and insulated doors to minimize noise from family life, traffic, or neighbors. The goal is to create a calming atmosphere that supports deep work and virtual meetings without interruption.
LIGHTING
Natural lighting, ergonomic furniture, and clutterfree aesthetics further enhance productivity. Smart lighting systems and adjustable desks are common features, reflecting the growing demand for wellness in the workplace—even at home.
In short, the home office has evolved from a convenience into an essential part of how we live and work—built for longevity, focus, and balance.
