Pistachio, a soft, calming, and surprisingly versatile shade of green, is emerging as a popular micro-trend in interiors. This gentle hue offers a refreshing alternative to bolder greens and sits comfortably alongside both warm and cool tones. From subtle accents like cushions and throws to larger statement pieces such as sofas and painted walls, pistachio brings a touch of nature indoors while maintaining a sophisticated and elegant aesthetic. Its adaptability allows it to work well in various design styles, from contemporary and minimalist to traditional and maximalist, proving its potential to be more than just a fleeting trend.

Energizing combinations like pink and orange or red and pink create a sense of vibrancy, while softer pairings such as blush and terracotta or blue and green evoke a more tranquil atmosphere. Consider the mood you want to create in each space and select colours accordingly. For a bold statement, try contrasting colours like green and black or yellow and grey. Alternatively, create a calming sanctuary with analogous hues like different shades of blue or various greens. The 60-30-10 rule can be a helpful guideline, using a dominant colour for 60% of the room, a secondary colour for 30%, and an accent colour for the remaining 10%. Ultimately, the key is to find combinations that resonate with your personal style and enhance the overall aesthetic of your home.

Several once-popular home decor trends are now considered outdated and cheap-looking. These include overly themed rooms, such as nautical or Tuscan kitchens, along with word art, and an excessive use of Mason jars. Fast furniture and cheaply made accent pieces also contribute to a tacky aesthetic, as do brightly colored accent walls and aggressively patterned carpets or rugs. Instead, experts recommend investing in quality pieces, embracing minimalism, and using natural materials for a more timeless and sophisticated look.

Vintage wooden furniture possesses a warmth and patina that newer pieces often lack. Its inherent imperfections and signs of wear add character and tell a story, contributing to a layered and collected feel in a space. Choosing well-made vintage pieces, focusing on beautiful silhouettes and quality craftsmanship, allows you to incorporate unique and sustainable elements into your home while avoiding the uniformity of mass-produced furniture. These pieces can be mixed with contemporary items to create a dynamic and personal interior.

Dark wood furniture, particularly richly toned mahogany and walnut pieces, is predicted to make a comeback in 2025, adding a sense of warmth and sophistication to interiors. Alongside this, vintage lighting, such as Murano glass chandeliers and Art Deco-inspired sconces, will illuminate spaces with a touch of glamour. Chintz, often found in traditional English country houses, is also expected to rise in popularity, bringing its vibrant floral patterns and playful charm to contemporary homes. These trends, combined with a renewed interest in craftsmanship and heirloom-quality pieces, suggest a shift towards embracing timeless design elements and creating spaces that evoke a sense of history and character.

Certain furniture trends are losing their appeal as we head into 2025. Overly ornate furniture, including tufted headboards and excessively embellished pieces, feels fussy and dated. Matchy-matchy furniture sets are also falling out of favor, as are bulky entertainment centers designed for large, outdated TVs. Fast furniture, known for its low quality and trend-driven designs, is being replaced by a desire for sustainable, timeless pieces. Similarly, stark minimalist spaces are giving way to warmer, more inviting interiors. Other trends on the decline include chevron patterns, farmhouse style, and all-white kitchens.
