One of our favorite end-of-year traditions is looking back at all the rooms you loved most on Instagram because we like to think it paints a picture of what you want out of your dream home. Usually, your favorite ideas are a little all over the place, but this time we noticed you gravitated toward two very particular things: mid-century modern architecture and red and blue interiors. Here’s a closer look at our most-liked spaces from 2025.
The Exterior
The way the stone, cacti, and trees play off the rich wood exterior of this mid-century gem in Topanga Canyon stole some hearts.
The Kitchen
You really loved the pops of color and clever nooks in this groovy Pennsylvania kitchen. A big round of applause for Myers Custom Woodworks, the company that color-matched the new cabinet drawers to the original ones in the home.
The Living Room
Reason number one not to shop directly from a catalog: Aly Michalka’s Santa Barbara living room. The space is full of little treasures collected over time, like a vintage coffee table clad in flower tilework and Eny Lee Parker’s sculptural Oo Lamp.
The Dining Room
A couple based in D.C. wanted to create a home with cool hotel vibes, and the dining room was the real stunner. Wrapped in wallpaper from Zak + Fox and anchored with a table from Sun at Six, the space feels like a hug drenched in lots of natural light.
The Bedroom
Survivor contestant Stephanie Berger worked with designer Alyssa Owens on many elements of her New York City apartment, but lining the windowed wall behind the bed with pink sheer curtains was an absolute power move.
The Bathroom
Designer Raili Clasen treats her Newport Beach house as a sort of experimental space—take the guest bathroom, where she decided to combine two different tile patterns and in the same seaweed green hue.
The Entryway
Cookbook author Dan Pelosi’s Hudson Valley home is a burst of joy from the first step in the front door. The entryway blends a bold blue paint job (radiator included) with wallpaper from Voutsa.
The Pantry
Pelosi’s pantry also made its way into your saved folders, thanks to a ceiling wallpapered in a floral print from Svenskt Tenn and Farrow & Ball’s Rectory Red paint.
The Backyard
Actress Stephanie Beatriz turned her pool into a star by putting it on a literal pedestal. The raised swimming zone may be the focal point, but the checkerboard tiles and smart use of coping deserve their own applause.
