Instead of chasing fleeting fads, it’s smarter to lean into design ideas that offer both function and timeless charm. We’ve rounded up 20 standout home decor trends that strike the perfect balance—fresh, stylish, and built to stay.

Boldly Painted Walls

Benjamin Moore’s Caliente transforms this space into a bold, energetic statement. The rich red walls create a dramatic backdrop for the plush velvet seating and colorful accents, while soft florals and metallic touches add balance and elegance. This setup proves how a daring wall color can instantly elevate any room with personality and style.

Color in the Kitchen

This bold and modern kitchen by Monogram of Canada makes a confident statement with forest green cabinets and hexagon tile accents. The rich green pairs beautifully with sleek black countertops, stainless steel appliances, and matte black fixtures. Oversized white tile on the walls and floating shelves keep the space feeling open and fresh, while playful touches like sculptural lighting and pops of red add personality.

Geometric Patterns

Geometrics are a great home decor trend for adding patterns to a room, especially if you are not a fan of florals (and are weary of the ubiquitous chevrons). The various shapes have a pop-art feel and will add a graphic jilt to a space, whether you choose a large rug or just a few well-placed accessories.

Fringe

From horse hair around an ottoman to macrame-style draping on wall pieces, fringe is fast becoming a popular home decor trend. You can even find lighting fixtures that have fringe in metal, or in leather, like this chandelier from Ngala Trading.

Fringe is a good neutral trim that adds interest without introducing more pattern or, necessarily, color. Leather fringe like this also adds another texture to the room and is a nice substitute for the usual metal and glass chandelier.

Distinctive Sinks

Even the base is an unexpected choice for this pedestal sink and makes for a dramatic home decor trend.

While there’s nothing wrong with a functional sink in clean, classic white, a distinctive sink can really elevate the design of a powder room or guest bath to a whole other level. This highly polished wood sink from Ammonitum is a great example of a sink that grabs attention. The design shows off the fine woodwork and grain, and the unusual shape is attention-getting.

Velvet

Velvet can be used in every room of the home.

This sumptuous fabric has been trending for a couple of years now and shows no signs of fading from the spotlight. Its sophisticated sheen and cozy, textural feel have a wide appeal. 

This home decor trend is also moving out of the boudoir and into the family room, being used for cushions, poufs, and upholstery of all kinds. This classy armchair from Cyan Design is covered in a great smoky blue velvet and has a gorgeous copper frame.

Vintage Lighting Fixtures

Weathered or not, vintage lighting fixtures are very popular.

Vintage items of all kinds are popular in home decor, but no other sector of design has more choices than lighting. Whether they are truly vintage, repurposed fixtures, or reproductions, vintage lighting is taking center stage in living rooms and kitchens everywhere.

Even within the vintage home decor trend, there is a wide range of how old the fixtures appear.  This rustic fixture from Vagabond Vintage has a very weathered look, but vintage shapes in shinier metallic finishes are also extremely popular.

Concrete

New technologies are making concrete even more versatile in home design.

We all know what concrete surfaces look like: Smooth or textural with a pleasantly stony gray look. But new techniques are making concrete even more versatile. From new colors to different formulations and finishes for the kitchen and bath, concrete’s appeal continues to grow among home decor trends.  

This amazing tub — which looks like it was hewn from a giant tree — is actually made from concrete. WoodForm concrete transforms the material into lightweight, sustainable furniture and fixtures that look like wood with none of the worry. 

Light-toned Woods

Moving away from dark and heavy traditional furniture, today’s home decor trends are using lighter tones to let the wood grain show. Weathered, rustic wood as well as more finely polished pieces are popular in family rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.

These lighter pieces — like this coffee table from Style Garage — are also a great combinations with bold painted walls as they help keep the mood light and airy. Even live-edge wood pieces are available in lighter, warmer wood tones to complement today’s interiors.  The resin and live edge table from PbR by Wud is a great example of this trend.

Global Decor

The handmade feel of global decor items gives them extra appeal.

Shape, textures and designs from other cultures have long been incorporated into home decor trends, and with today’s more relaxed, casual interiors, global influences are even stronger. Accessories from other nations, combined with varied textiles and a generous touch of rattan, shells or jute are here to stay. Designers and travelers bring back treasures to use at home that are now becoming part and parcel of interior design.

Brass Fixtures

Rose gold had its moment and copper is nice, but brass fixtures are among the home decor trends that are here to stay. The metal is popular for shelving, lighting, kitchen and bathroom hardware and more.

It has a vintage look that can increase in character as the metal develops a natural patina. With the vintage trend still going strong, it’s a versatile material that fits right in: a touch of metal without too much shine. Kitchen shelving from Amuneal is a spectacular way to put the metal center stage. Lighting fixtures are also a great way to showcase brass, as in the fixture below by Elish Warlop.

More Metallics

Bring on the bling!  At least that’s what fans of metallic finishes are saying. There is no shortage of high-shine metals among home decor trends, especially at the high end. This magnificent Fortuna table from Boca do Lobo is a gleaming example of the metallic furnishings available at the upper end of the design spectrum.

If an ultra-luxury piece is not for you, look for occasional tables, chairs and accessories that offer highly polished metals that find with your interior and budget. Or, try something like Nourison’s gilded hair-on hide rug the features a selection of embossed designs.  It’s perfect for adding a metallic focal point to a space.

Blue as a Neutral

Shades of blue can easily be considered neutral colors.

Not typically included in a palette of neutral colors, new shades of blue are making their way into the more versatile set of colors used in today’s home decor trends. This room by Benjamin Moore shows how a bluish-gray tone can serve as a neutral backdrop. By using darker hues in the same family along with a complementary accent color, blue can be used in a wide variety of combinations. If most of your furnishings fall into the typical beige palette, using blue is the new, more understated way to make a statement.

Scandinavian Sensibilities

Scandinavian style is the epitome of an uncluttered lifestyle.

Elements of Scandinavian design have been popular everywhere for decades, so it’s almost hard to call it a home decor trend. However, the concepts of simplicity, comfort and functionality are becoming more ubiquitous in home decor. These sensibilities fit right in with our desire to lead uncluttered, lower stress lives. The clean lines of the furniture and versatility of Scandinavian style make them a natural for this goal.

Yummy Yellow

Bold and sunny, yellow is a joyful color that is not all that common in home decor — until now. Perhaps more associated with an old-fashioned farmhouse kitchen, the sunny hue is making its way into all rooms of the house…in small does, of course.

With fashion, not everyone looks good in yellow, but that’s definitely not the case in home decor. A pop of yellow as an accent color is unexpected and cheery, and farm more current that the usual red or orange. For those who are really bold and love retro, SMEG is known for its boldly colored kitchen appliances, including a bright yellow fridge.

Spectacular Tiles

If your thoughts of tile are limited to mosaics and the subway variety, it’s time to visit your local purveyor because designs and options are far wider. Carved, texture, colored and geometric — the possibilities are endless.

This pattern from Tile Bar is an example of the complex patterns that can grace your walls: It combines a leaf like pattern with glossy sections, along with a raised floral motif that forms the border. And, ombre might be out for hairstyles, but it’s definitely still in for beautiful mosaic tile installations.

Storage as Decor

Double-duty items are the easy way to add storage in any room.

The easiest way to create more storage space is to make decor pieces do double duty, and this concept is growing among the current home decor trends. A rustic ladder style shelf from Creative Coop with baskets will work in any room to hold all sorts of stuff, from kitchen essentials to bath towels and essentials. If rustic isn’t your style, there are options for storage as decor in almost any type of look.

Bold Prints for Walls

Wall coverings have been much maligned in past years, but new patterns and styles are going far beyond the typical cutesy picks with matching borders. Abstracts, geometrics and photo-realistic murals are booming home decor trends, particularly when it comes to creating an accent wall. This new collection of coverings from Lookwalls includes some marvelous Art Deco designs and abstract shapes that turn a wall into a work of art.

Luxe Leather

Genuine leather is a natural material that adds a luxury touch.

Leather sofas and chairs are nothing new, but this natural material is finding its way onto new home decor pieces such as desks, nightstands and headboards. Luxury bedrooms are incorporating real leather and suede to create an opulent feeling that is gender neutral. It is even being used in custom kitchen designs as a surface material for walls and cabinet fronts.

Try adding a small leather-covered accent piece or even leather lighting to a space for more dimension. Or, choose a distressed leather that lets natural flaws show, creating a more casual look.
