Fulshear-Katy Community Guide 2025-26

W hether you’re planning a full renovation or just love staying on top of the latest home decor ideas, 2025 is shaping up to be a bold and beautiful year in interior design. Here are the top trends designers are embracing right now—and they’re perfect for adding fresh style to your home. Color Drenching Say goodbye to the accent wall! This year, it’s all about wrapping an entire room in a single hue—walls, ceilings, trim, and even furniture. Known as “color drenching,” this look creates a cozy, cocoon-like space that feels both modern and dramatic. Whether it’s a rich navy or a soft sage, pick a color moment. Designers are using ceilings to add personality and surprise with patterned wallpaper, bold paint colors, or even textured materials. It’s a fun way to add flair, especially in smaller spaces like powder rooms or home offices. Vintage Vibes Mixing in vintage pieces continues to be big this year—and we’re not sure this will ever go out! It’s a great way to make your space feel unique and lived in. From antique mirrors and classic wood furniture to flea market treasures and family heirlooms, old pieces bring warmth, character, and a story to tell. Warm Browns Are Back Neutrals are shifting warmer in 2025. Think chocolate browns, caramels, and moody mocha tones showing up in paint colors, upholstery, and wood finishes. These earthy shades feel cozy, grounded, and timeless—and they pair beautifully with natural textures like linen, leather, and stone. Layered Looks Less matchy-matchy, more mix and-match. The “layered” look is in, combining different patterns, colors, you love and go all in. Statement Ceilings The fifth wall is finally getting its

and textures to create rooms that feel collected and personal. It’s not about perfection but about curating a space

that tells your story. Touches of Shine

High-gloss finishes are making a splash this year. Lacquered furniture, glossy cabinetry, and even shiny tile can add just the right amount of glamour. These sleek surfaces reflect light and bring energy to a room—perfect for balancing deeper color palettes or cozy textures. Bold Stone and Marble Dramatic, high-contrast stone is having a major moment in 2025. Think striking veining, rich color variations, and oversized slabs used for everything from kitchen countertops to fireplace surrounds. Materials like Calacatta Viola, green marble, and travertine are making bold statements—adding luxury and artistry to everyday spaces. Multifunctional Spaces With more families working, learning, and relaxing at home, multifunctional rooms continue to be essential in 2025. Think built-in desks in dining areas, reading nooks tucked under staircases, or guest rooms that double as home gyms. Smart layouts and flexible furniture help every square foot work harder—without sacrificing style.
