As the fall season approaches, home decor enthusiasts are embracing a blend of nostalgic and contemporary styles to refresh their living spaces. Leading designers and retailers have introduced collections that highlight key trends set to dominate interiors this autumn.
Joanna Gaines, renowned for her Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia collection at Target, is spotlighting scalloped edges as a prominent design motif. This trend brings a soft, curvaceous aesthetic to kitchen and dining areas, adding elegance and warmth to everyday spaces. Affordable items under $10, such as carved-edge mugs and scalloped espresso cups, make it easy for homeowners to incorporate this charming detail into their decor.
Søstrene Grene's Autumn/Winter 2025 collection introduces "color drench framing," featuring frames and mounts in matching bold colors like red and blue. Priced at £12.80 each, these frames offer a polished, gallery wall look and come pre-filled with prints that are easily customizable with personal artwork. This trend allows homeowners to infuse vibrant hues into their interiors without significant investment.
Martha Stewart's latest design, the Playa Rattan Counter Stool, is turning heads this fall as a standout piece from her Wayfair collection. Inspired by her Lily Pond Lane estate, this stylish counter stool features a handwoven rattan back, open arms, a cushioned upholstered seat, and a sturdy wood frame with an antique bronze metal kick plate. The design blends relaxed coastal vibes with timeless retro charm, making it perfect for both modern kitchens and outdoor bars.
In a preview of Shea McGee's upcoming McGee & Co. holiday collection launching on September 23, 2025, three key interior trends have been identified as likely to dominate Christmas decor: twists, tiny wreaths, and tassels. "Twists" refer to braided metallic accents that add a glam touch to everything from frames and trays to candles and napkin rings, bringing a refined, year-round elegance to holiday decor. "Tiny wreaths" present a shift from traditional door adornments, appearing instead on dining chairs or as place card holders, promoting unexpected indoor placements to elevate overlooked spaces. Lastly, "tassels" return in vintage-inspired forms such as bullion tassel ornaments and fringe-accented lamps, showcasing their versatility across furniture, accessories, and even Christmas trees.
Meg Ryan's modern farmhouse-style entryway highlights the impactful role of a distressed mirror in home décor. The black and silver antique piece, set against white shiplap walls and complemented by a glass table and silver cabinet, demonstrates how intentional imperfections can warm up the often sleek, cold feel of modern farmhouse interiors. This design choice underscores the trend of embracing rustic elements to create a balanced and inviting aesthetic.
These trends reflect a broader movement towards incorporating timeless and versatile elements into home decor, allowing homeowners to create spaces that are both stylish and enduring.
