We all, no matter our wealth status, wantnicethings.
And we want nice homes.
But what does that mean when youre coming from a place of extreme financial privilege?
What features are you looking for in a home in this tenderly young year?
This year, luxury clients are leaning darker.
Colorful Appliances in Kitchens
White, black and stainless are so 2024, Lichtenstein said.
More color for high-end kitchen appliances like red, yellow and royal blue are being showcased.
A great designer will put it off for a real wow look.
Weaving in bold, bright appliances in your kitchen is a delicate art.
You cant lean in too heavily.
Porcelain Floors
So long marble floors and hello porcelain the finest of the finest.
Carrera marble, which was the craze for years, is a little passe now.
Onyx Slabs
Lichtenstein is seeing luxury homebuyers in 2025 drawn to onyx slabs.
But you have to be careful when embracing this trend, too.
Onyx slabs are fantastic for walls but not for counters; they are too porous, Lichtenstein said.
Larger Floor Tiles
Do you feel that underneath your feet?
Those are the floor tiles getting bigger.
Its been happening gradually over time.
Twenty-five years ago, it was 13 x 13 on the diagonal, Lichtenstein said.
Now we are at 48 porcelain squares.
Bigger is better in porcelain.
Metal in Wall Coverings
We are seeing metal being used in wallcoverings, Lichtenstein said.
Walls clad with metal.
Lots of variations of metal are being used for bathrooms, bedrooms and dining rooms.
Electric Fireplaces
Some homes come with fireplaces, but many do not.
To bring a cozy flair to their living spaces, luxury clients are investing in electric fireplaces.
Shower Jets
Remember when having two shower heads was considered peak luxury?
Now its 10 to 15 shower jets that go from lower back to neck to head, Lichtenstein said.
Who needs a massage when you get one in your shower everyday?
It keeps a brilliant green color all year long with no sprinkler system needed, Lichtenstein said.
