In 2025, homes are embracing a blend of cutting-edge innovation and nostalgic charm. Zillow research reveals trends like whole-home batteries and EV chargers paired with old-world features like home libraries, vintage decor, and even Victorian-inspired sculleries. “A home is not just a checklist of practical features; it’s a feeling,” says Amanda Pendleton, Zillow’s home trends expert. “Homeowners are looking to the past to create warmth, character, and comfort in even the most high-tech environments.”
Johnson Hardware offers door solutions that align with these trends, enhancing homes with efficiency, style, and character.
Compact, Cozy Living Spaces
With homes trending smaller, maximizing efficiency is key. Johnson’s Series 1500SC Soft-Close Pocket Door Frame Kit saves up to 14 square feet of usable space, making it perfect for compact bathrooms, kitchens, or offices. The soft-close feature ensures quiet operation, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
“Buyers are embracing smaller, cozier spaces for affordability and sustainability,” Zillow notes. Johnson’s wide line of pocket door frame kits provide a stylish solution for functional, serene living spaces.
Spa-Inspired Wet Rooms
Luxurious wet rooms, which combine showers and tubs without an enclosure, are gaining popularity. The tiled “wet” area is at the same floor level as the rest of the bathroom, making it mobile-friendly. A wide, sliding bathroom entry door installed with Johnson’s 200WM Heavy-Duty Wall Mount Door Hardware enhances these wellness-focused spaces with sleek, smooth operation and modern durability, complementing their spa-like aesthetic..
