Top 10 Furniture Trends for Minnesota Homes in 2025

If you’re thinking about giving your home a little refresh this year, 2025 is bringing some beautiful new furniture trends to Minnesota homes. From cozy textures to smart space-saving designs, this year is all about comfort, warmth, and style that lasts.

Here’s a look at the top trends we’re seeing — and how you can make them work in your own space.

1. Furniture that does more than one thing

Homes are getting smarter, and furniture is too!
Think sectionals you can rearrange, ottomans with hidden storage, or dining tables that extend when company comes over.
Perfect for Minnesota homes that need to flex between cozy nights in and family gatherings.

Try this: A storage coffee table or a modular sectional that grows with your space.

2. Natural materials are in

Wood, rattan, stone, and other natural textures are making a huge comeback. These materials help bring a bit of the outdoors inside — which feels especially good during our long Minnesota winters.

Try this: A solid wood dining table, woven accent chairs, or stone-top end tables for a grounded, organic look.

3. Soft, curved shapes

Goodbye hard lines, hello curves! Sofas and chairs with rounded edges instantly make a room feel more inviting and comfortable.

Try this: A curved sofa or an accent chair with a rounded back to soften your living room.

4. Earthy tones with pops of color

Warm, natural colors like caramel, olive, and terracotta are everywhere this year. Add a splash of personality with jewel-tone accents like emerald green or deep navy.

Try this: A cozy tan sofa paired with an emerald throw or accent chair.

5. Mixing materials

Designers are loving the contrast of different textures — wood with metal, stone with glass, or leather with fabric. It gives a room more depth and visual interest.

Try this: Pair a rustic wood dining table with sleek black metal chairs for a balanced, modern look.

6. Smaller, flexible pieces

Not every home needs a massive sectional! 2025 is all about right-sized furniture that fits your life. Smaller-scale sofas, loveseats, and accent chairs are perfect for apartments, cabins, or open-plan homes.

Try this: A petite loveseat or nesting tables that save space but still look great.

7. Sustainable and locally made furniture

More people are choosing furniture that tells a story — made from quality materials, built to last, and often crafted by local makers. It’s better for your home and the planet.

Try this: A reclaimed wood coffee table or a handmade accent piece from a local artisan.

8. One standout piece

You don’t need to redo your whole house — sometimes just one special piece can change the feel of a room. A bold new sofa, a unique dining table, or even an oversized chair can become the star of your space.

Try this: Choose one “wow” item and build your room around it.

9. Texture, texture, texture

Minnesotans know a thing or two about cozy! Plush fabrics like boucle, velvet, and sherpa are sticking around in 2025. Add in a soft rug or layered pillows for that warm, inviting vibe.

Try this: Layer neutral tones and soft textures for a space that feels as good as it looks.

10. Furniture that fits Minnesota living

Our homes work hard — from cold winters to summer lake days. Look for durable pieces that handle real life: easy-clean fabrics, sturdy tables, and furniture that transitions from indoor to outdoor use.

Try this: Weather-resistant patio furniture that can handle the Minnesota seasons, or a durable performance-fabric sofa for family life.

Final Thoughts

This year’s furniture trends are all about comfort, function, and timeless style — pieces that feel personal and last through every Minnesota season. Whether you’re updating one room or re-styling your entire home, focus on furniture that works for your lifestyle and makes you feel at home the moment you walk in the door.
