In 2025, some decor trends that were popular in previous years are already causing fatigue among professionals in the field. According to interior designers, these trends are repeated so much that they leave spaces without personality.
Here are the trends they recommend avoiding:
1. White bouclé on all upholstery
This textured and cozy fabric was a favorite in recent years, but it has now become a cliché. Sofas, chairs, and ottomans covered in white bouclé are everywhere — and for many professionals, it’s time to vary the materials.
2. Neutral and monochromatic spaces in beige or white
Neutral palettes were once synonymous with elegance, but the overuse of white and beige has made spaces feel impersonal and monotonous. Designers are now calling for more color, contrast, and personality in interiors.
3. Decorative arches in doors, walls, and furniture
The rounded, retro look of arches — especially inspired by the ’70s — became a huge trend, but now it feels repetitive. The recommendation is to seek more authentic architectural elements or invest in custom carpentry to add originality.
4. Organic-shaped irregular mirrors
They were a strong trend in 2022 and 2023, but by 2025 they no longer surprise anyone. They are present in almost every modern apartment and have lost their innovative appeal. Why not invest in vintage pieces or artisanal framed mirrors instead?
5. Shelves arranged purely for aesthetics
Books turned backward, meaningless objects, and decor staged just to look good on Instagram have worn out their welcome among professionals. The new tip: place meaningful items on your shelves — memories, stories, and functionality.
The oversaturated trends of 2025 share one common trait: a lack of authenticity. Designers’ recommendation is clear: avoid ready-made formulas and turn your home into a true reflection of your personality. Mix styles, use pieces that tell a story, and create spaces with soul.
