- Here’s a word you might not have heard as much in the past few years — wallpaper. Mural-style wallpaper is huge right now, and there are endless choices that make it the ultimate way to add color, pattern, and texture to a room. We think of it as the newest way to make a fun, bold statement!
- Scallop-shaped edges are also grabbing our attention — accenting furniture, trims, and moldings, and even making an appearance in art collections. Look for this playful touch on mirrors, photo frames, trays, and a variety of table décor.
- By now you’ve also probably heard the words “Mocha Mousse” — the shade that’s all the rage. As the Pantone color of 2025 — get to know this warm brown color that’s setting the tone for all other paint shades and popular trends. Classic colors are abundant, too, in shades of creams and warmer taupes, as we’re leaning away from all-white houses. Those warmer wood tones are showing up in cabinetry also — and that natural beauty is always a comfortable, inviting choice for the home you love spending time in.
- Look for wainscoting — wood paneling applied to the lower portion of a wall inside a home, often the dining room — as well as more detailed moldings. Both are staples of traditional design, and some of those amazing extra touches that can make a room unique.
- Chinoiserie is also back in a big way — and not just in the blue-and-white patterns you may think of when you first hear that word. Think of these unique patterns as the imitation of Chinese techniques and motifs in Western Art, architecture, and furniture. But traditional fabric prints are just as present — and there’s even a renewed interest in gingham plaid. While it may feel a little nostalgic, gingham is all about timeless appeal and versatility — so it’s also easy to envision in a contemporary setting!
It’s clear no matter what room of the house you’re looking to refresh, there’s plenty of new inspiration out there — let’s think together on how to make these trends work for you!
Until next time, Cheri
