🛋️ Top 10 Living Room Trends in Wisconsin for 2025
From cozy lakeside cabins to contemporary Milwaukee lofts, Wisconsin homes each have their unique flair, and the living room is at the heart of it all. Whether you're redecorating your space or simply looking for inspiration, here are the top 10 living room trends taking over homes across the Badger State this year.
1. Modern Rustic Aesthetic
Wisconsin homeowners are blending natural textures with clean lines. Think reclaimed wood coffee tables paired with sleek leather sectionals. This “modern rustic” look captures the state’s love for nature with a touch of sophistication.
Steinhafels Tip: Pair our Custom Style Solutions 2-Pc. Leather sofa with a wood-and-metal mixed media accent table, like our Prescott Cocktail Table, for that modern cabin vibe.
2. Warm, Earthy Color Palettes
Say goodbye to cool grays - 2025 is all about warm terracotta, olive green, and rich caramel tones. These colors bring a grounded, welcoming energy perfect for long winters indoors.
Trending Colors: Clay, rust, sage, and golden beige.
3. Performance Fabrics for Everyday Living
Between snowy boots, pets, and weekend gatherings, Wisconsin families need durability. Performance fabrics that resist stains, moisture, and wear are a must for upholstered furniture.
4. Statement Lighting
Lighting is no longer just functional - it’s a design statement. Oversized floor lamps, geometric chandeliers, and natural woven pendants are illuminating Wisconsin living rooms in style.
Pro Tip: Use layered lighting—mix ceiling fixtures with lamps and sconces to create ambiance.
5. Multi-Functional Furniture
From remote work to family game nights, living rooms are doing more than ever. Furniture that serves multiple purposes - like lift-top coffee tables or storage ottomans - is in high demand.
Steinhafels Pick: Try our Modular One 6-Pc. Home Theater sectional with built-in Bluetooth, wireless/USB charging station, storage drawer, and tabletop with customizable placement.
6. Midwestern-Inspired Art & Decor
Local pride is trending! More homeowners are choosing Wisconsin-themed wall art, regional landscape photography, and handmade décor from local artisans.
Decor Ideas: Our Recycled Metal Wisconsin Logo Wall Decor or Blue Lake Framed Canvas Art.
7. Maximalist Layering
Forget minimalism - Wisconsinites are embracing cozy clutter. This trend includes layering rugs, stacking throw pillows, and mixing patterns and textures to create a warm, lived-in space.
How to Pull it Off: Choose a neutral base and layer with plaid throws, knit pillows, and textured rugs.
8. Greenery & Biophilic Design
Houseplants are still going strong. Whether it’s a tall fiddle leaf fig or a cluster of hanging pothos, greenery helps soften a space and connect your home to nature.
Low-Maintenance Favorites: Snake plants, ZZ plants, and faux greenery for low-light areas.
9. Heritage-Inspired Accents
Vintage is back, but with a regional twist. Think heirloom-style furniture, antique clocks, or upcycled items from flea markets and farm auctions.
Mix & Match: Combine a modern couch with a vintage coffee table for that timeless look.
10. Tech-Integrated Comfort
Smart home features are becoming staples - even in traditionally styled homes. Look for voice-controlled lighting, built-in Bluetooth speakers in furniture, or electric recliners with memory presets.
Smart Buy: Steinhafels offers the Liam Leather Fully Loaded Zero Gravity Reclining Sofa with Drop Table, Massage, and Immersive Audio.
