Medieval candlesticks, surrealist table decorations and other strangely wonderful objects are the home trends for 2025, according to this year's Pinterest forecast.

In addition to furniture fairs and home magazines, the most frequent Pinterest searches also provide information on which interior trends are popular or on the rise. Every year, 537 million users search for inspiration on Pinterest. A particularly diverse trend landscape is emerging for 2025, as some of the predicted trends show.

Cherry Vibe

The cherry red bedroom trend (searches: up 100 per cent) is on the rise, especially among Gen Z and millennials. They love the bold colour, which is reminiscent of cherries, and use it to design their rooms. These cherry vibes can also be found in make-up, fashion and even food.

Castlecore

Rustic materials, earthy tones, antique furniture and accessories, pointed arches, ornate carvings and stained glass windows - the Middle Ages, known for majestic castles and Gothic style, are making an impressive comeback. A search query increase of 110 per cent shows that the «medieval core» will influence both interiors and clothing styles in 2025.

Doll aesthetics

It's going to be sweet! If you're not travelling to the Middle Ages in 2025, you might be opting for the doll style instead. Millennials and Gen X love it, according to Pinterest. They are opting for cute «Cute Room» decorating ideas (up 40 per cent), babydoll make-up and colourful jewellery pendants. The easiest way to achieve this style of living? Take a look around the children's furniture department.

About childhood

Being an adult? Totally overrated! In 2025, we're letting out our inner child. Gen Z and boomers are grabbing colours and giving old furniture and boring rooms a Pippi Longstocking update. According to Pinterest, 2025 painting trends include high-contrast door frames (up 85 per cent), cabinet painting (up 45 per cent), door paintings (up 70 per cent), hand-painted furniture (up 135 per cent) and wall patterns (up 60 per cent).

Mix & Maximalist

The decoration motto that also extends across all possible 2025 trends: More is more! This year, Pinterest searchers are mixing bold patterns, crazy prints and great textures in all the colours of the rainbow. And they're totally into layering. Lots and lots of layers.

Layering, mixing colours and patterns are seen as the key to a cosy home.
