This is the unmissable event at the start of the year. In parallel with the Maison & Objet show which opens its doors at the Villepintes exhibition center from January 16 to 20, 2025, the streets of the capital are adorned with decoration and design colors. Many brands, galleries and publishers are taking advantage of the back-to-school excitement to present their latest creations. A sort of mini winter design week in which we take you to make you (re)live the best moments. Enough to stock up on inspiration, without waiting for January 15, 2025, since from this Tuesday, the first showrooms made us dream.

Tomorrow’s trends to discover now
We may be in the heart of winter, but trends are always one step ahead of our calendar. To warm up gently, Paris Déco Off invites us to discover the key pieces and star materials that we will dream of integrating into our interiors or on our terraces when the sunny days return. What will happen in the decoration sphere in spring and summer 2025? Between the iconic installations and the colorful collaborations, we promise that there will be plenty to do.
If the Mediterranean spirit still seems to make us dream, this year, designers are putting the emphasis on craftsmanship. The “craft” atmosphere, the irregularity of the handmade and the beautiful materials are in the spotlight. In a more dreamlike atmosphere, many collections invite you to dive into the imagination of dreams to bring a little softness to everyday life. Lighting inspired by the mist of Venice, fabrics adorned with clouds, shell wall coverings… We also reconnect with nature thanks to the omnipresence of wood, a raw material that we cannot do without anymore. Everything contrasts and harmonizes according to the play of balance and structure with the almost brutalist minerality of the stone.
We thus seize the opportunity to slow down a little with creations that are both joyful and warm. This year, there is no doubt: the decoration is good for us and seeks to make us smile again.
Earthy colors in the spotlight in 2025
Pantone announced it: the color of the year is a deliciously chocolatey mocha mousse. No less was needed to see this delicate brown shade available in all its forms. From more ocher shades with orange and terracotta undertones to lighter, almost yellow tones, a sunny and comforting palette awakens our decoration. At the same time, green shades, more trendy than ever since last spring, are still just as inspiring. In over-all or in small touches, they play with reflections and oscillate between deep, intense variations and lighter details. Almost pastel.
An explosion of invigorating colors which also and above all involves work on effects and renderings. On the one hand, there is the “glossy”, the shiny, sometimes awakened by chrome and steel. On the other hand, there is a desire to get closer to an almost vintage look. This is particularly the case on certain rugs presented in this edition. A deceptively old patina to celebrate the beauty of a heritage that we cherish and celebrate.
Heritage as a source of inspiration
The passing of time, the heritage… If last year, vintage and reissues were everywhere, in 2025, it seems that we are going back in time a little further. The Paris Opera, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, is offering a collection of designer furniture imagined by Charlotte Juillard for Tikamoon. Elsewhere, at Arte, a specialist in wall coverings, we celebrate mythology by multiplying the references while at Cassina, from today (January 15, 2025) it will be 30 years of collaboration between the house and designer Philippe Starck which will be highlighted. Enough to make us want to wake up at dawn to find out what happens next.
