Decoration trends work in cycles of varying lengths: certain decorating styles appear one year, then disappear the following year or remain relevant for a while.
2025 Decor Trends Find inspiration for your interior design!
One thing is certain: sooner or later, yesterday’s decorating styles will become tomorrow’s must-haves. If you’re lacking decorating inspiration for your home, our decorating tips are here to help: design, colors, interior decorating styles… Find the style that suits you!
What are the trending colors for your home?
Colors can add character to the rooms in your home. They vary according to decorating trends, ranging from a bright and soft touch to a darker or neutral hue. However, remember that your color choices should also reflect your personality. While color charts are constantly expanding, some color trends stand out.
This is especially true this year, where colours are making their way into décor trends, such as light and pastel colours, colours that evoke the Scandinavian and Nordic world, natural tones, bright colours, and green in all its shades.
Colors help create the atmosphere you want in a room, whether it’s warm and cozy, relaxing, or energizing. They can also visually enlarge a space or, conversely, make it more intimate, depending on whether they are used as accents or blocks of color. Discover all the shades you can use for your interior in Minute Maison’s feature on trendy colors in decorating.
Simple and effective white or pastels
The need for calm and gentleness leads us to choose white or pastel colors, which help create a cozy, restful, and serene atmosphere in our homes. White has the advantage of easily coordinating with other colors or patterns in the room, while also highlighting them. An effective and risk-free decorating trend!
Scandinavian colors are intensifying
While Scandinavian-style decor remains popular, Nordic colors are becoming richer and deeper. Although white is still very present, gray, beige, blue, and green are becoming darker, creating a warmer and more inviting atmosphere. These cool colors can also be combined with brighter hues, such as pastel yellow or pink.
Natural and raw colors to recharge your batteries
There’s a growing enthusiasm for natural materials and colors, conducive to relaxation and a return to basics. This decorating trend draws direct inspiration from raw materials such as light wood, slate, and sandstone. The colors are close to those found in nature—true, neutral hues that haven’t been altered.
The intensity of the bright colors
Combined with a soft color and a refined design, rich colors are making a big comeback, bringing cheerfulness and brightness. Curry yellow, aquatic blue, emerald green… Intense colors can work just as well as accents or as a complement to a softer color or another vibrant hue.
Dare to go green!
Soothing and refreshing, green is taking on an increasingly important role in our interiors. Available in all its shades—khaki, fir green, mint green, seafoam green—this tone will bring personality to certain rooms in your home, a hallway, a kitchen, or a bedroom, for example.
Blue enters a new era
Highly sought after, blue is evolving towards more natural shades with greater character: mineral blue and midnight blue are becoming essential. Depending on the intensity of the blue chosen, it can be paired in different ways: with mineral gray or earth brown for mineral blue, and with beige or yellow for midnight blue.
Each decorating style has its own furniture!
For this new year, the trend is to blend elegance and character in furniture. Depending on the colors chosen for the floor and walls, you should enhance and highlight your interior with suitable furniture: chairs in different styles, a sofa that reflects your personality… The most important thing is to play with contrasts, avoiding “tone on tone” at all costs.
Mix and match mismatched chairs!
To add personality to your dining room, opt for an eclectic style by placing different chairs around the table. Different backs, seats, curves… completely vary the styles! This mix of styles will energize the room.
Choose the sofa that suits you.
Choosing a sofa is one of the most difficult aspects of interior design, as it involves considering numerous features: length, color, shape, and more. From a simple sofa to one with removable corners, from leather to velvet, it’s an essential element of any living room. Prefer to transform your current sofa rather than buy a new one? Replace the legs with casters or add wooden legs if it doesn’t already have them. Change the cover (color and material) to create a fresh look in your living room. Arrange cushions of different sizes and colors.
A shelf with a minimalist style
A shelf is an essential piece of furniture, regardless of your decorating ststyleOpt for a light, minimalist design so it blends seamlessly into the room’s ambiance. Choose thin sides and shelves to maximize this effect. This way, the objects displayed on the shelf will truly stand out. Whether it’s colorful, metallic, made of raw wood, or even leather straps, don’t hesitate to mix and match styles.
The most popular decorating styles!
While everyone has their own tastes in terms of decoration, some decorating styles are found more often than others in our interiors.
The cozy atmosphere is inherited from Scandinavian countries.
As autumn and winter approach, we feel the urge to transform our living room into a cozy haven. To achieve this, we favor shades of white, pale blue, and beige, which we combine with bolder colors. Create a warm atmosphere by using a variety of light fixtures in different styles and intensities (lamps, floor lamps, candles, LED string lights, etc.). Finally, choose wooden furniture, perhaps combined with metal, and add a thick rug to the parquet floor, cushions and throws to the armchairs and sofa, and blackout curtains to the windows.
The return of rustic and raw materials
Looking to revamp your bathroom with a style that blends tradition and modernity? Simply combine the textures of wooden structures for your vanity and mirrors with the modern look of a white lacquered sink. This will structure the space without making it feel cramped and will add character to the room.
The bohemian and oriental spirit
The oriental style of the 1960s and 70s is making a comeback in interior design. Opt for warm colors (orange, purple, etc.) mixed with touches of green or turquoise for a Moroccan feel, or shades of blue and white for a Tunisian vibe. Choose low furniture: a sideboard, a bench, nesting tables, and so on. On the floor, place a large oriental rug, large cushions, and scatter lanterns and vases. Complete your decor with a beautiful pendant lamp to create a soft, ambient light.
Contemporary and modern styles take over large spaces.
If your living spaces are large enough, you can try a contemporary style of decorating. This style is clean, aesthetically pleasing, and minimalist while remaining functional. It favors multifunctional furniture and decorative objects made from natural or unusual materials: clay, metals, transparent materials like glass or plexiglass, polished concrete, foam… And contrary to popular belief, the colors associated with modern style aren’t limited to black and white! For your walls, you can absolutely choose beige wallpaper, charcoal gray, or a bolder color like blue, pink, or even yellow, if you’re so inclined!
Decor trends: the objects to add a finishing touch to your decor
While furniture, walls, nd flooring contribute to creating the decorating style of a room, objects should not be neglected either, as they will highlight the decorative atmosphere of each room in your home.
The table lamp
Whether you want to place it on an entryway console, a side table next to your sofa, or a desk, this lamp adapts to all styles. Opt for a completely metallic lamp with a large bulb to contrast with the furniture’s material. Make it a decorative object in its own right on your piece of furniture, avoiding cluttering its outline.
Storage crates
Whether you prefer a cozy or an industrial style, wooden crates will blend perfectly with your interior. Stacked on top of each other to create a storage unit, or placed side by side on the floor, they will add a rustic touch to your home.
The mirror
Whether in the bedroom, entryway, or bathroom, a mirror is a central element. Its depth creates the illusion of a larger room. With frames in wood or aluminum, rounded or rectangular, mirrors come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit all styles.
The suspensions
A pendant light, perfect for any room, is the trendy finishing touch to your décor. Above a kitchen island or dining table, in your bathroom, or even in the entryway, the various types of pendant lights will add sophistication to the space. Rattan, industrial bulbs, or metal fixtures—there are so many styles to consider.
