As the Texas heat fades and fall arrives, home design in 2025 is embracing a softer, more grounded style. This season’s decorating trends focus on earthy warmth, tactile comfort, and eco-friendly living. Whether you’re updating a Frisco townhouse, a Lantana family home, or a Highland Village retreat, these ideas bring seasonal beauty indoors in a timeless, sustainable way.
1. Earth Tones Take Center Stage
The Sherwin-Williams 2025 Colormix Forecast highlights a return to grounding, nature-inspired tones through its new color families, shades that evoke organic textures and earthborn calm. Expect to see palettes built on clay, terracotta, sand, and soft mossy greens, all designed to bring warmth and authenticity into modern spaces.
This year’s trend, “Origins,” explores how natural materials and human creativity shape our surroundings. The palette features soothing combinations of muted browns, ochres, and mineral-inspired neutrals, creating a timeless backdrop for any home style.
Style tip: Warm, earthy colors pair beautifully with matte black accents, wood tones, and handwoven fabrics for a balanced, inviting look.

2. Natural Textures That Invite Comfort
The return to texture continues to define 2025 interior design trends. Homeowners are gravitating toward authentic, tactile materials that create warmth and a sense of calm. Think jute rugs, rattan chairs, clay vases, and reclaimed wood tables, all adding layers of depth and personality to a space.
Adding texture doesn’t mean clutter. Use simple, thoughtful details such as woven baskets, hand-thrown pottery, or linen throws to build visual and physical comfort. Light fixtures crafted from bamboo or natural fibers can instantly soften a room while keeping it airy and relaxed.
According to a 2025 feature in CNR Magazine, designers are using these natural materials to strengthen the connection between humans and their environments, a concept known as biophilic design. This design philosophy blends sustainability, texture, and emotional well-being, creating spaces that feel both modern and restorative.

3. Sustainable Décor That Makes an Impact
Sustainability continues to influence 2025 design trends as homeowners shift toward long-lasting, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious choices. The goal isn’t just to decorate beautifully, but to create homes that perform efficiently and leave a lighter footprint.
Start small with impactful upgrades, switch to ENERGY STAR–rated LED lighting, choose energy-efficient appliances, or repaint with low-VOC paints to keep indoor air healthier. Even minor changes, such as better insulation or smart thermostats, can make a noticeable difference in comfort and energy savings.
According to ENERGY STAR, homeowners can significantly lower utility costs and improve energy performance through simple, sustainable home improvements that make spaces both stylish and efficient.

4. Bringing the Outdoors In
Fall 2025 continues the growing trend of blending interior and exterior living. As cooler weather arrives in North Texas, homeowners are transforming patios, porches, and backyard spaces into cozy seasonal extensions of their homes.
Simple touches like potted herbs, decorative pumpkins, and woven rugs help create a seamless transition between indoors and out. Consider adding terracotta planters, autumn wreaths, and warm outdoor lighting to enhance texture and comfort while keeping the look natural and inviting.
According to Better Homes & Gardens, the best fall décor celebrates nature’s colors and textures, mixing local greenery, rustic materials, and soft layers to create welcoming outdoor spaces that feel timeless and sustainable.

Style tip: Keep outdoor furniture neutral and add texture through throw blankets, patterned pillows, or lanterns. These simple updates can turn any patio or porch into a stylish autumn retreat.
5. Handcrafted and Local Accents
The charm of handmade craftsmanship is returning in a big way. Artisanal décor, ceramic vases, handmade candles, and macramé wall hangings bring personality and story to modern homes.
Local North Texas markets, such as the Frisco Fresh Market and Grapevine Farmers Market, often feature regional artists whose pieces reflect local culture and landscape.
Supporting local artisans not only enhances your home but also sustains small businesses within the community. Discover upcoming artisan markets and craft fairs in the Frisco area.
Style tip: Choose one statement handmade piece per room to give your space authenticity and warmth.
