In our over three decades of experience as luxury home builders, we’ve seen trends come and go. We’ve also seen trends withstand the test of time or even make a resurgence. If you’re hoping to build a custom home on LBI in 2025 and are looking for some inspiration, our team at Stonehenge Building is ready to break down all of the design trends making waves this year:
Biophilic Designs
Like years passed, people are drawn to more nature-inspired designs. But this trend is taking on a more impactful role on design in 2025. While earth tones and warm neutrals are still trendy color choices for custom homes on LBI, this organic style is leaning more to biophilic design. With a greater emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability, the building industry and homeowners alike are opting to incorporate reclaimed materials like wood and recycled steel into their home’s construction to minimize the carbon footprint of building a home. Energy efficient building materials are also a great option as they help homeowners save on utilities and maintain a comfortable home environment throughout the year.
Inside and out, people are looking to bring nature to the forefront of their home’s aesthetic. From native plants or plants that require less water and maintenance in their landscaping to multiple outdoor spaces like kitchens and seating areas, or dramatic earthy tones and soft accents inside, homeowners want to connect with the outdoors in their space. And who wouldn’t want to capture the beauty of the island in their custom home on LBI? Imagine a space with rich coastal colors and patterns in your great room with large windows that let in the warm sunlight and capture a picturesque view of LBI. Our team of builders and designers work tirelessly to help maximize our homeowner’s floorplan and architectural design to preserve these views for you to enjoy all year round.
Softened Edges and Lines
Building off the biophilic aesthetic, arches and soft lines are a prominent design choice in 2025. Make a statement with arched doorways leading into a cozy reading nook or into a gourmet kitchen featuring rich wood tones and a large island ready to serve multiple purposes to suit your lifestyle. Create a relaxed environment with arched windows that offer you a breathtaking view of LBI.
But it doesn’t stop at architectural choices and design. Arches can be incorporated into accent pieces like oblong mirrors and even in furniture pieces. Curved or rounded edges on furniture continue the theme of soft lines and arches, creating a relaxing atmosphere that also draws on nature. Soft lines seem more organic to the human eye and invoke a sense of peace and comfort that you can sink into after a long day.
Accents and Color
If 2025 design trends had a theme, it would be “earthy.” With Pantone naming an earthy cream-brown called Mocha Mousse as their 2025 Color of the Year and Benjamin Moore naming a rich plum with a brown undertone called Cinnamon Slate as theirs, it’s no shock that the nature-centric trend continues through to accents and colors! Custom homes on LBI can draw inspiration from the beauty of the island they’re built on. Ruffled or textured accents inspired by the waves and warm, sandy neutrals bring the outdoors in. Organic materials like stones are a great addition to not only the exterior of LBI homes, but also in places like the bathroom or as a kitchen backsplash. Our team of dedicated designers work with our homeowners so every inch of your custom home on LBI represents your aesthetic and creates a cohesive style throughout your home.
