Whether you’re building from scratch or finally redoing that kitchen, 2025 design trends in Tulsa are all about comfort, warmth, and personality.

The ultra-modern, all-white trend? It’s softening.
The farmhouse-everything look? Fading fast.
Instead, buyers are leaning into custom, cozy, and functional — spaces that look good and live well.

Here’s what’s shaping Tulsa home design right now — straight from the homes Envision is building across Bixby, Broken Arrow, and South Tulsa.

‍

Natural Warmth Is Back

Say goodbye to sterile gray. Hello to warmth.

• Wood tones are making a comeback — think honey oak, light walnut, and white oak flooring instead of cool gray planks.
• Cabinetry is going two-tone — soft whites mixed with wood lowers or a deep moody navy island.
• Textures over patterns: natural stone, limewash, woven fibers, and matte finishes are trending.

Tulsa buyers are craving warmth after years of white-on-white interiors. It makes new builds feel lived in, not staged.

‍

Arches and Curves Replace Sharp Lines

We’re seeing more arched doorways, rounded corners, and curved islands — a huge shift from the boxy layouts of the 2010s.

In exterior architecture, arched front entries and curved gables are bringing back classic Tulsa charm — especially in transitional and Mediterranean-inspired builds.

Design tip: If you’re building with Envision, ask about adding subtle arches in hallways or built-ins. It’s a small detail that makes your home feel custom — without blowing the budget.

Statement Lighting Steals the Show

Lighting has officially become jewelry for your home.

• Oversized pendants above islands
• Sculptural chandeliers with organic or woven materials
• Layered lighting (recessed + sconces + pendants) for depth

Smart home trend: Many Tulsa buyers are adding app-controlled dimmers and color-temperature controls for full mood flexibility.

Outdoor Living Becomes Year-Round

Post-pandemic life turned patios into living rooms — and that’s not going anywhere.

In 2025, Tulsa buyers are investing in outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and covered entertaining spaces. With our milder winters and sunny falls, you can use these spaces nearly year-round.

Popular local features:

• Sliding glass walls that open fully to patios
• Stamped concrete or tile flooring that transitions seamlessly inside-out
• Outdoor fireplaces and heaters so you can host even in January

‍

Bold Bathrooms and Spa Spaces

The bathroom trend pendulum has swung: minimalist white is out, and statement tile, mixed metals, and warm lighting are in.

• Fluted vanities and floating cabinets
• Gold and black fixtures mixed tastefully
• Large-format tile or stone-look porcelain for less grout and more drama

In Tulsa’s luxury builds, we’re seeing steam showers and freestanding tubs again — spa vibes are officially back.

‍

Smart, Subtle Tech

Tulsa homeowners aren’t chasing flashy tech — they want invisible convenience.

• Smart thermostats, garage doors, and lighting systems you control from your phone
• Hidden charging drawers and USB ports in islands
• Built-in speakers and network panels prewired during construction

Pro move: Have your builder (hi, that’s us) pre-run conduit or low-voltage wiring before drywall so you’re ready for future upgrades.

‍

Personality > Perfection

Cookie-cutter is out. Personality is in.

Whether it’s a bold backsplash, a funky powder bath, or a feature wall, homeowners are showing off what makes them unique.

At Envision Homes, we always say: “You dream it, we create it.” That means your home should feel like you — not a copy of someone else’s Pinterest board.

‍

What’s On the Way Out

Let’s talk trends that are quietly fading in Tulsa:

• All-gray color schemes
• Shiplap everything
• Industrial black hardware overload
• Busy granite countertops
• White subway tile (unless it’s elongated or handmade style)

Design in 2025 is about intentional texture, layered lighting, and lived-in comfort — not cold minimalism.

The Bottom Line

Tulsa design trends are leaning timeless, not trendy — and that’s good news for resale and your own sanity.
