How do I balance comfort and character in 2025 home design?

To balance comfort and character, start with a calming neutral base like warm neutrals or soft plaster finishes. Add character through layered textures, sculptural furniture, and a few bold color accents inspired by nature. Use tactile, handcrafted pieces that feel human to the touch. This method creates inviting, personalized spaces that align with 2025's quiet luxury and bold personality trends.
