Trends to follow in 2025

Balancing modernity and heritage, boldness and sobriety, the decoration of 2025 is inspired by the past and recovers what remains of it to better move forward. Timeless, warm, vibrant, it presents us with spaces that we haven’t seen so enveloping for a long time.

Mocha Mousse: like a desire for stability

At the end of each year, Pantone reveals the color that will influence future design and decor, according to its predictions. Mocha Mousse (Pantone 17-1230) is the one on his radar for 2025. Rich, modest and sophisticated, this shade is one that injects a sense of comfort into decors. In line with the trends of recent years and a certain quest for authenticity, it draws on the nature of earth and bark tones. Mocha Mousse also evokes simple and gourmet pleasures, such as coffee and chocolate, and is part of the new neutrals. It pairs with bright color accents, like pink and turquoise, as well as soothing shades of beige, cream and terracotta.

Styles that are gaining popularity

Passion colors

Worn by generations Y and Z, vibrant colors breathe dynamism into the decor through accessories, textiles and accent elements. According to a survey conducted by Behr Painting, people are ready to embrace color like never before: approximately 69% of Canadians would consider painting a room or wall a shade of red. Rich shades of deep red, like dark cherry tones and burgundy, are among the favorites.

Custom decor

Started during the pandemic, personal expression in decor is reinforced in 2025 with even more “handmade” accents and personalized touches that move away from generic and expected decor. Make way for painted furniture, murals and contrasting borders.

L’opulence d’avant

We are witnessing the rebirth of the Rococo style which seduces with its exuberance, its fanciful details and the frivolity of its forms. The trend is giving way to floral patterns, furniture with elegant curves and pastel color palettes that bring a touch of luxury and femininity to interiors. The antique craze also finds a vehicle in the “Castle Core” aesthetic, which incorporates castle-inspired elements, such as chandeliers, stonework and wallpaper.

Maximalism

Scandinavian style continues to be inspiring with its bright, functional spaces, natural materials and neutral color palettes. However, refined decors are slowly being replaced by eclectic and warm environments, according to the latest Pinterest report. Caution gives way to boldness with a layering of patterns and textures, and the integration of retro elements.

Back to the future

In a completely different aesthetic, the Memphis style of the 1980s manifests itself through the use of geometric shapes, bright colors and playful elements that bring a futuristic and eccentric touch to spaces.

Slowthe decor

Naturalness always comes back at a gallop with its shades of blue and earth, as well as its authentic, ecological and sustainable materials (wood, stone and organic fibers). This trend, established for several years, reflects increased ecological awareness and a desire to create authentic and serene spaces that stand the test of time. In this spirit of “ slow decoration”, we think about recycling what we already have and promoting second-hand objects.

Long live the curves

Architecture and design are increasingly cutting corners. Furniture as much as spaces adopt soft shapes which contrast with the straight and rigid lines of the past.

Zenitude and multifunctionality

Today’s life calls for efficient and flexible use of living areas that are designed to meet multiple needs. At the same time, the increased presence of technology in personal environments encourages us to find solutions to integrate it discreetly into space or furniture, for example with discreet televisions and furniture integrating wireless charging. In this context, serenity becomes a priority and we see more and more spaces intended for well-being appearing.
