Ultra-specific color palettes and novelty fixture shapes tend to date a home within three to five years. As of March 2025, some of the fastest-fading trends include all-gray interiors, overly ornate farmhouse details, and waterfall edges on every surface in the home. Hardware finishes also cycle quickly, so committing an entire house to a single trendy metal can feel stale sooner than expected. Kingdom & Co. advises clients to test bold trends in easily replaceable areas like backsplash tile, light fixtures, and accent walls rather than in structural or permanent finishes.
