At Select Design & Build, we believe your home should be as inspiring as the landscape around it and summer 2025 is bringing exciting new trends that pair perfectly with Central Oregon’s natural beauty and climate. From earthy interiors to seamless outdoor spaces, this season’s design movement is all about comfort, functionality, and style. With custom homes starting at just $200/sf, creating your dream home with Team SELECT is more achievable than ever.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your space or build from the ground up, here are this year’s top home design trends and how we bring them to life with Affordable Luxury.
1. Warm, Earthy Color Palettes with Bold Accents
This summer, interiors are leaning into natural tones like clay, linen, warm white, and sand all of which complement the high desert surroundings of Bend. To energize these subtle bases, homeowners are adding pops of tangerine, lemon yellow, or bold leafy greens.
Our Approach:
During your complimentary design consultation, our in-house interior design specialists help you choose paint colors, cabinetry, and accents that reflect your style and thrive in our local climate.
2. Integrated Outdoor Living
Outdoor kitchens, patios with fire features, and shaded lounge areas are must-haves for 2025. In the high desert, where warm days transition into cool, breezy evenings, these spaces become natural extensions of the home.
What We Offer:
Our custom design-build plans often include covered patios, folding glass walls, and outdoor living options designed to fit your lot and lifestyle. Whether you’re hosting summer dinners or simply enjoying the sunset, we’ll create a space that invites you outdoors.
3. Natural Wood Finishes that Withstand the Climate
Hardwoods like oak and maple remain timeless and durable choices in our dry environment. These warm wood finishes are trending for flooring, beams, and custom built-ins.
How We Build It:
With over four decades of experience and expert trade partners, we source high-quality materials suited for the Bend area. From built-in shelves to statement staircases, we deliver custom craftsmanship with lasting appeal.
4. Simplicity with Purpose: The New Minimalism
Summer 2025’s design ethos embraces functionality with elegance. Think spacious great rooms, vaulted ceilings, and fewer but more meaningful design elements.
Why It Works with Select:
Our award-winning floor plans feature open layouts, convenient built-ins, and thoughtful storage, giving you more space and less clutter. Every detail is intentionally designed for everyday comfort.
5. Smart and Sustainable Home Features
Smart lighting, irrigation, and temperature control are helping homeowners reduce their footprint and increase long-term savings.

6. Kitchens Designed for Connection
