Elevating Spaces: 2025’s Most Coveted Backsplash Trends for Luxury Homes

As we move further into 2025, luxury kitchen and bathroom design continues to evolve with innovative materials and distinctive applications that transform ordinary backsplashes into captivating focal points. At Collins Builders, we’re seeing homeowners gravitate toward options that combine dramatic visual impact with practical benefits, creating spaces that are both stunning and functional. The finest details truly make the most profound difference in crafting exceptional living spaces, which is why our discerning clients are investing in backsplash materials that serve as the jewelry of their kitchens and bathrooms.

More is More

Though preferences in design are subjective, trends are not, and the trends of interior design in 2024 will be much different than in previous years. Previously, almost every on-trend space except your grandma’s sitting room was minimal. Minimal in color and maximal in neutral tones. This year is the reverse. It will trend towards patterned couches, unique art pieces, varied tile configurations, and a subtle flare for vogue taste. We can thank grandmas and house magazine features on YouTube for this lean toward eclectic pieces and bold patterns.

Timeless Fireplaces

This time of year, all anyone thinks about are fireplaces and hot beverages. When it comes to having an efficient, beautiful, and lasting fireplace we at Collins Builders ensure exactly that. We’ve worked with multiple companies to build fireplaces and other stone pieces in our client’s homes, but Earthcore’s product retains value and our client’s happiness more than any. Earthcore is a company that manufactures and specializes in high-quality luxury fireplaces. They are particularly known for their Isokern brand of modular and customizable fireplace systems. Isokern fireplaces are made from volcanic pumice, which offers exceptional insulation properties and durability. There are three reasons why Isokern fireplaces are better than traditional brick.

BEAUTIFUL WOOD PORCH CEILINGS

Today’s popular floorplans often include large covered entry and rear porches. These not only make a beautiful architectural statement, but they provide you with a place to create an outdoor living space. The front entry is the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your home, and a wood porch ceiling adds immediate impact. A warm stain on the rear porch ceiling can complement your outdoor furnishings and helps to make the space feel more like another room in the house.
