These Home Decor Trends Are Already Out This Year

It’s rare that a trend sticks. Plus, with how quickly things catch wind on social media, certain ones inevitably start to feel stale—simply by virtue of being seen over and over again.

In 2025, several home decor trends emerged in interiors, ranging from maximalist spaces to stone statements and beyond. But which ones have lasting power and which ones are bound to lose their appeal?

We asked interior designers for the most overdone home decor trends of 2025—along with how to reimagine them so that they feel original and fresh.

Boucle

The cozy, nubby texture of boucle has been coveted for years—appearing on everything from armchairs to sofas, pillows, and more. Overuse of the material has made it feel gimmicky in certain applications, though.

“Boucle began as a luxurious texture but quickly lost its charm once it trickled into every big box store,” says Mikel Welch, interior designer and founder of Mikel Welch Designs.

“Instead, I would turn to mohair, wool blends, and heavy linens that still deliver richness but feel more considered.”

Curvy Furniture

Wavy designs from the likes of Sophia Collé and Gustaf Westman caused a flurry of curvy silhouettes to proliferate interiors. However, what started as a playful accent started to become an oversaturated choice.

“A little movement is beautiful, but when every silhouette is bending, it starts to look cartoonish,” Welch says. “Gentle curves, rolled arms, or scalloped edges offer the same softness in a way that lasts.”

Interior designer Jennifer Cataldo adds that while curvaceous furniture makes sense in formal settings, it isn’t always comfortable for everyday living spaces. 

“A more traditional sofa, paired with a curved coffee table or side tables, takes the edge off without compromising comfort,” Cataldo suggests as an alternative.

Accent Walls

It’s hard to say if feature walls will ever fully go out of style—but it’s certainly had its moment. As such, the trend may be overdue for a refresh.

“The accent wall has had its 15 minutes of fame,” Cataldo says. “Instead of one wall of color or busy wallpaper, color drench the room by using the same color paint on walls, molding, and ceiling.”

Cataldo’s favorite colors for a whole room application?

“Teals, navies, plums, and shades of cream,” she says.

Marble Chain Links

Marble chain links became a go-to styling filler this year—Welch even admits to using them himself. However, he’s leaning toward other unexpected decor for a similar effect.

“I would rather see sculptural finds, carved wood, or a stack of vintage books that feel collected and personal,” Welch says. “What makes design timeless is depth, meaning, and restraint rather than repetition of the same mass-produced objects.”

Slatted Wood & Fluted Panels

Warmth was the name of the game this year—and textured wood was at the forefront, even used in bathrooms.

“Adding architectural interest to a room or furniture is a great idea, but the echo chamber of design has overused slatted wood and fluted panels,” Cataldo cautions.

If you’re still craving the warmth and depth of paneling, there are plenty of other ways to capture the feeling.

“Consider modern millwork in a geometric pattern or texturing a wall by adding a plaster finish,” Cataldo suggests.
