Zillow 2025 Home Decor Trends

Electric Features

According to Zillow, the use of whole-home batteries has surged by 62% since last year. Whole-home batteries work in tandem with solar panels to store excess energy, providing backup power during outages or low-sunlight periods. The real estate brand reports that there is a growing use of terms like “sustainable” and “green” in home descriptions.

In addition to solar power, homes that come with electric car chargers are appearing in 34% more listings than last year.

Cozy Vibes

We use the word “cozy” often, but in 2025, it’ll be more than a word and a phrase — it’ll be a realistic living standard. With listings using this term up 35% year-over-year, modern home buyers are increasingly favoring intimate spaces over expansive open floor plans, prioritizing affordability and sustainability.

Old-World Revamp

You’ve guessed it right. “Granny Decor” is coming back. Those floral patterns, tapestries, and antique furnishings are trending upward. Nostalgia-driven decor has increased 14% in listings since 2023, while home libraries and bibliophilic decor have surged 22% on Zillow.

Climate Resiliency

As natural disasters increase in frequency, homebuyers are increasingly prioritizing climate-resilient features in their property searches. According to Zillow’s latest research, an overwhelming 86% of recent homebuyers consider having at least one climate-resilient feature as a crucial factor in their purchasing decisions.

Spa-Inspired Bathrooms

Homeowners want to bring that hotel-spa-like bathroom into their living spaces. The 2025 bathroom design trend shows homeowners increasingly transforming their spaces into luxurious hotel-spa-inspired retreats.  Zillow reports property listings featuring wellness amenities increased 16% year-over-year as buyers prioritize homes that will work on their mental and physical well-being from the comfort of their personal space.
