Homes with Character: Pinterest’s Fall 2025 Trends You’ll Love

Every fall, Pinterest reveals what’s inspiring homeowners and decorators across the globe. This year, the message is loud and clear: our homes are moving away from minimalism and into a warmer, richer, and far more personal chapter.The 2025 Fall Trends Report highlights everything from thrifted treasures to Art Deco revivals, showing us that design in 2025 is all about character.

Thrift Is the New Chic

Forget fast furniture. Gen Z and millennials are leaning into thrift shopping like never before. From flea-market lamps to retro wooden chairs, searches for thrifted décor have surged. It’s not just about budget, it’s about creating a home that feels authentic, collected, and sustainable. Each secondhand find carries a story, turning homes into memory-filled spaces rather than showroom lookalikes.

Art Deco Glamour

The Roaring ’20s are having a comeback. Bold geometry, brass accents, rich velvets, and patterned wallpapers are finding their way into living rooms again. The best part? You don’t need a luxury budget to join in. Even high-street brands are offering affordable Art Deco-inspired collections, making it easier than ever to add a touch of old-world glamour to modern homes.

Tiles That Talk

Tiles are no longer just for utility. This season, they’re becoming works of art; whether it’s a rustic terracotta floor, a backsplash with playful patterns, or a bathroom wall clad in deep, glossy blues. The handmade look is especially in demand, with natural textures and uneven tones giving spaces a lived-in, timeless charm.

Workspaces with Personality

Whether at home or in the office, work corners are getting a glow-up. From chic cubicle makeovers to cozy home study nooks, people are turning their desks into extensions of their style. Think leafy plants, warm lighting, colorful stationery, and layered textures, proof that productivity and personality can happily co-exist.

The Big Picture

What ties all of these trends together? A shift toward homes that feel personal and lived in, rather than picture-perfect. This fall, it’s not about chasing the newest look; it’s about creating spaces that reflect who you are.

And that may just be the biggest trend of all: the best homes are the ones that feel like you.

Quick Styling Tips

  • Thrift Smart: Pair a thrifted wooden chair with a fresh cushion in a bold fabric for instant charm.
  • Art Deco Made Easy: One statement lamp or a geometric mirror is enough to bring the glamour in.
  • Tile Trick: Use patterned tiles on a backsplash or even as a coffee table top—it’s affordable impact.
  • Work Corner Glow-Up: A warm desk lamp and a leafy plant can turn even the smallest corner into a cozy nook.
