We don’t like to pick favorites, but we can’t deny that unveiling original home tours to you is one of the best parts of our jobs. Getting a peek into beautiful houses, large and small, is a constant stream of inspiration—and there were a few that particularly stood out to you over the past 12 months. Whether it was an outrageous color palette, cozy cottage interiors, or smart adaptations of small spaces, you prized individuality above all. Ahead, the 10 home tours you loved the most in 2025, from an exuberant farmhouse in the Hudson Valley to a 420-square-foot Normandy apartment.
The Kaleidescopic Hudson Valley Farmhouse
The chromatic kitchen where cookbook author and creative Dan Pelosi spends most of his time is the newest addition to his 19th-century farmhouse, but the rest of the place is just as colorful. The floral-filled, art-drenched, and grandma-chic home made the Grossy Girls swoon.
The Easy-Breezy Austin Bungalow
Annie-Laurie Grabiel and Arthur Furman, the couple behind Austin-based firm Side Angle Side, spent seven years renovating their 1939 courtyard home. The light-filled oasis went through a dramatic transformation, with an end result that includes an entirely new kitchen, garden pool, and vaulted ceilings.
The Fairytale Tennessee Rental
The design duo behind Probably This took this crumbling garage and turned it into a sweet two-bedroom, two-bathroom rental chock-full of charming touches: an arched wooden doorway, a Delft-style kitchen backsplash, the fully wallpapered upstairs bedroom, and penny tile in the bathrooms.
The Layered Brooklyn Townhouse
Green made its way into more than one room in the Gowanus townhouse of Ben, a child psychologist, and Sophie, a tattoo artist. The color swathes the kitchen cabinets, adorns their baby’s nursery, and is the hue they chose for a shower curtain in one of the bathrooms.
The Quintessential English Cottage
Angelica and Richard Squire, the cofounders of U.K.-based design firm Studio Squire, had just six months to get their client’s 1820s country home ready for move-in. They took cues from the serene woodland setting in stone-slab flooring, mossy green cabinets, and yellow floral wallpaper. Plus, quirky choices like putting a bar in an old fireplace and using curtains add an extra layer of cozy.
The Shoppable French Apartment
Marissa Cox (@ruerodier on Instagram) and her partner Victor stepped outside of Paris to find a small home that they could go to on the weekends but also rent out. They landed on a 150-year-old, one-bed apartment in Rouen that they zhuzhed up and lent a showroom feel to (psst: you can source everything in an on-site catalogue).
The Cozy Colorful Brooklyn New-Build
Former Survivor contestant Stephanie Berger tapped her interior designer friend Alyssa Owens to help her furnish a white-box Brooklyn apartment, all while she was preparing for the show and Owens was living in Australia. The result? The once-sterile space is now full of color and character (even without painting the walls).
The Narrow Manhattan Pied-à-Terre
Interior designer Alvin Wayne filled this narrow apartment in the West Village with light hues and warm textures for a South Carolina couple. He had just seven weeks to outfit the compact layout, but Wayne pulled it off with an in-stock banquette for dining, tons of kitchen storage, and natural elements like rattan lampshades.
The Fashionable Stockholm Family Home
“I think the way I dress is reflected in my interior style,” fashion entrepreneur Petra Tungården told Domino when we toured her Stockholm apartment. Dramatic in some moments—the Viola Calacatta-clad kitchen and bathroom, in particular—and softer in others, the space she shares with her husband and two children is full of rich hues and eye-catching materials.
The Airy San Francisco Victorian
You wouldn’t know it looking at the exterior, but this San Francisco Victorian is anything but stuffy once you step inside. It’s a study in how to balance history with contemporary family needs, like a more modern kitchen and calming bathrooms. Plus, it has brilliant skylights—in the floors.
