As we step into 2025, custom home design is evolving in exciting ways. Families across San Antonio, Boerne, and New Braunfels are looking for homes that reflect their lifestyles while incorporating the latest innovations in design, sustainability, and technology. From spa-inspired bathrooms to outdoor living spaces built for Hill Country views, today’s homes balance beauty, function, and long-term value.
KC Custom Homes, with over 25 years of experience serving the Texas Hill Country, has identified the design trends shaping the year ahead. Whether you are building in a luxury community like Cordillera Ranch or on your own lot, these ideas will help inspire your future dream home.
The appeal of open layouts continues into 2025, creating spaces that feel larger, brighter, and more connected. Homeowners in the Hill Country want seamless transitions from kitchens to great rooms, and from interiors to patios with large sliding doors.
Outdoor living spaces remain a must-have, particularly in New Braunfels and Boerne where Hill Country views are part of the lifestyle. Think covered patios with stone fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, and pools that extend the entertainment space year-round.

Sustainability is no longer optional—it’s expected. In 2025, energy-efficient materials, smart insulation, and solar readiness are standard for families focused on lowering utility costs and reducing environmental impact.
