New year... new home?
If you’re looking to change up your home design this year, here are a few trends you might want to think about adopting in your space — and where you can find them in homes for sale around Indy.
Dark wood
This isn’t your grandma’s gloomy den. Deeper, “heritage” wood tones are making a comeback in doors, beams, and flooring, adding warmth and depth to interiors.
Check out how the dark wood beautifully frames the dining area in this 1910 home — which also sports a breathtaking matching staircase.
Enjoy lounging in the sun on the grass or eating brunch on the patio of this historic estate.
Keep “open concept” layouts indoors. Dividing a yard into dedicated zones for eating, gardening, or playing sports will be all the rage.
This historic Meridian Park estate tackles the task nicely, with a stone patio just off the kitchen for al fresco dining, a swath of green lawn for pets or kids to play on, and a long driveway with open space between the house and garage that’s the perfect size for a half basketball court.

Closing
The owners of Just Pop In! announced they’re closing their Broad Ripple restaurant on Tuesday, March 31. But the gourmet popcorn you love isn’t going anywhere; the company will be moving to a larger manufacturing facility to keep up with the demand for their poppin’ products.

Development
The former headquarters for Scouting America’s local branch is slated to transform into a co-working space + event facility pending a rezoning request. See what the 12-acre property at 7125 Fall Creek Rd. N may become. (IBJ)
Cause
After thousands of appointments and hundreds of blood drives were canceled by winter storm Fern, central Indiana blood banks are in dire need of donors. Here’s how you can help. (WTHR)
Drink
Want to drink like a flippin’ champ? Upland Brewing Co. is releasing 8,000 six-packs of its Commemorative 2025 National Championship Hoosier Gameday Lager across Indiana. See where you can find yours. (WTHR)

Need a dinner res for Valentine’s Day? OpenTable released its list of 2026’s Top 100 Romantic Restaurants, and one Indy favorite made the list: Vida. Run, don’t walk.
Sports

Super Bowl LX kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 8. Whether you’re catching the game at your favorite sports bar or hosting a watch party at home, we’ve rounded up a few must-haves for every kind of big-game watcher:
I have another top tier art deco treat for you in the form of this custom 1881 Italianate home in The Old Northside. It truly has it all: Stained glass windows, pocket doors, gold tin ceiling, pendant light fixtures originally from the Murat. The previous owner even had the house examined by a psychic, who said it’s inhabited by three friendly spirits. To say that I’m obsessed would be an understatement.
