Get inspired by these 2025 decor trends, spotlighted by Pinterest and validated by TRENDBARK
Happy new year guys! A fresh start always brings the excitement of discovering what’s new and inspiring, especially when it comes to home decor. I always have fun at this time of the year browsing on Pinterest Predicts—their annual trend report crafted by analyzing user searches to uncover what’s gaining traction across industries like food, fashion, lifestyle, and, of course, interior design.
What’s even more exciting? Many of these trends align perfectly with what we’ve been spotting on TRENDBARK, confirming that 2025 is shaping up to be a year full of creativity and bold choices. o, get cozy, grab a coffee, and join me as I share the five decor trends I’m most excited about for the year ahead. (P.S. Don’t miss the last one—it’s my personal favorite!)

Decor Trend 2025 #1 / Surreal Stories
The latest Style Board on Italianbark for 2024 spotlighted Surrealism as a trend—you can check it out here. According to Pinterest Predicts, this whimsical aesthetic is set to make waves in 2025, with searches for modern surrealism surging by a remarkable +70%, especially in table settings and home decor.
What does that mean? Think curvy candlesticks, fantastical florals, and gravity-defying centerpieces gracing your spaces. This trend aligns perfectly with the evolving tastes of Gen Z, which we highlighted in early 2023 in one of TRENDBARK Mag’s inaugural issues. Surrealism’s playful, boundary-pushing style will also likely take center stage at the upcoming Maison & Objet fair in Paris, making it clear this is a movement to watch out for.

Color Trend 2025 #2 / Cherry Red
Let’s do a quick memory test: Do you remember the IT color we predicted from Milan Design Week in April 2024? That’s right—it was the burgundy color trend. Dark, luxurious, and irresistibly rich, this deep red is set to remain a favorite decor trend for 2025 as well. The numbers speak for themselves: searches for Dark Cherry Red are up +235%, Cherry Vibe has climbed +325%, and even Cherry Bedroom is trending with a +100% increase.
Burgundy is also the star of the “Alluring” Color Theme featured in our Color Trends 25/26 Trendbook —where we’ve paired it with hues like indigo, pacific blue, and a touch of light lime for a fresh, modern twist. So, will you be embracing this captivating color in your home? Perhaps with an upholstered vintage piece or a bold accent?

Decor Trend 2025 #3 / Mix & Maximalist
Bold patterns, eclectic prints, rich textures, and endless layers—2025 is all about embracing the charm of maximalism. If you joined our Live Trend Webinar in November 2023 (and have a sharp memory!), you’ll recall we discussed the growing shift toward a more-is-more aesthetic, especially among younger generations.
This year, Maximalism steps into the mainstream, with data to back it up: searches for vintage maximalism have surged by +260%, and eclectic apartment queries skyrocketed by +630%. It’s a natural progression, reflecting the desire to reuse and repurpose items creatively rather than discarding them—a sustainable, expressive approach to decorating. That said, maximalism isn’t for everyone. It’s one of three major themes explored in our Living+Bedroom Trends 25/26 Trendbook —proof that there’s no one-size-fits-all trend.

Decor Trend 2025 #4 / Primary Paint
Maximalism takes a playful turn this year with the rise of DIY hand-painted designs on walls, furniture, and décor. Think whimsical patterns and creative brushstrokes that transform grown-up spaces into joyful, imaginative havens. It’s all about letting your inner child shine—a nod to the kidulting trend, which has been gaining significant traction over the past two years and remains a key focus we’ve extensively explored on TRENDBARK.
The numbers don’t lie: searches for hand-painted furniture are up +135%, and hand-painted wall patterns have climbed +60%. Quirky, hand-drawn, watercolor, and irregular finishes are also among the standout trends we explored in our Tile+Pattern Trends 25/26 Trendbook, proving that this DIY aesthetic is here to stay.

Trend 2025 #5 / Terra Futura
This year, my personal favorite is “Terra Futura“, an inspiring aesthetic that blends sustainable living with a touch of futuristic innovation. In 2025, sustainability finally takes center stage, becoming a mainstream movement reflected in every aspect of life. Think recyclable fashion, the rise of self-sufficient gardens (+55%), and a surge in community spaces (+40%), fostering collective well-being.
“Terra Futura” is also well representing one of the key aesthetics featured in our upcoming Trend Atlas, where we dive into the new aesthetics for 2026, how to incorporate them sustainably, and their connection to different consumer personas.
