As we begin a new year, it's the ideal time to make changes, not only in our goals, but also in the way we view our home.
Here are some of the trends that are being left behind and those that are gaining attention this year according to Vogue editors:
1. Goodbye to ordinary furniture
In their place: Custom furniture and artistic lighting
According to editor Yeong Sassall, ordinary furniture doesn't provide the aesthetic a space deserves. Instead, custom furniture creates a unique ambiance. Similarly, lighting with artistic or unique lamps can transform a room.
2. Farewell to common metals
Instead: Mixture of metals
Standard elements like bronze are being replaced by more interesting blends, like antique silver, copper, and steel. This brings more character to kitchens and bathrooms, suggests Lindyl Zanbaka.
3. Farewell to social media pastels
Instead: Stainless steel and natural materials
Pastels inspired by TikTok trends are being replaced with durable elements like stainless steel and wood. Francesca Wallace suggests that these modern materials offer elegance and durability over time.
4. Goodbye to marble accessories
Instead: Vintage elements
Marble objects have been replaced by vintage furniture and accessories that bring history and depth to a room, says Angelica Xidias.
5. The time for bouclé is over.
In its place: Leather, velvet and silver
Bouclé, a material known for its texture, is now seen as outdated. Nina Miyashita recommends using classic materials like leather or velvet for a more luxurious look.
6. End of boring minimalism
Instead: Mixed styles and bold colors
Minimalism without personality is fading, while spaces with loose combinations of styles and colors are gaining popularity. Charlie Calver encourages us to create environments that reflect our personal taste.
7. No more white walls and paintings on wood
Instead: Deep colors and natural materials
Nikki Chowdury suggests embracing warm colors like olive, brown, and dark blue, as well as respecting natural wood for a warm and authentic atmosphere.
8. No more bathrooms with textured walls
In Their Place: Framed Art
Instead of hard-to-maintain walls, Fia Morrison recommends using framed art to add personality and elegance to a space.
9. End to rampant furniture collections
Instead: Persian carpets
Nikki Chowdury emphasizes the importance of simplicity and suggests Persian rugs to bring a warm and "lived-in" feel to any space.
2025 is the time to create spaces that feel personal, warm and sustainable!
