If you like to decorate your home in a vintage style, you will know that, as with current trends, certain looks go out of style from year to year. Looking ahead to 2025, we asked three interior designers which types of vintage looks they expect to rule.

Keep reading to learn specifically about six vintage trends you’re sure to notice more of.

Gilded mirrors

Instead of opting for a sleek mirror with a minimal frame, why not switch things up a bit and choose a piece that’s embellished and gilded?

Madelaine Mayer, founder of AD:ROIT, is delighted that ornate gilded mirrors and picture frames are making a comeback. She especially likes pairing these types of items with more modern furniture, but you can also lean an ornate mirror above the fireplace or hang it on the wall in the entryway.

“When everything is in the house at the same time period, it can feel pretty flat,” she says. “With their inherent reflective surface, mirrors are a natural for adding vintage glam and charm.”

Painted wooden furniture

People are often torn about whether or not to paint wood furniture, but Meyer notes that professionally painted wood furniture is definitely making a comeback.

“This is not monochrome or DIY sponge painting, but a meticulously handcrafted finish with variations, distressing and rainbow glazed details,” she says.

Often, wooden furniture is not painted in a single color, but has some other type of design. Mayer noted that folk art and figural motifs are making their way onto wooden headboards, baseboards, side rails and cabinet fronts. The designer appreciates the handcrafted look this design style embraces.

“These techniques emphasize the value of the human hand in an increasingly machine age and are a great way to give an old (already vintage!) piece new life,” says Mayer.

Elaborate Trimmings

Mayer expects to see a lot more passementerie (the French term for trimming) in venues next year. For example, this could come in the form of fringed trim on drapery panels, fringed curtains with fringed cushions and more, she explains.

The designer appreciates this look because it can greatly enliven the space and make it more elegant.

“This is a great way to add little splashes of color, texture and vintage appeal to a space, especially when mixed with more modern fabrics and contemporary furniture,” she says.

Colors and styles of the 70s

Teri Clar, founder of NAFASI Interiors, enjoys styling her home with a 70s chic aesthetic. Clar recommends choosing green, gold, brown and rust shades. She acquired a retro punch bowl with some of these shades at a church sale and enjoys keeping it on display in her home.

Bold Florals

Say hello to what Sydney Kaufman, an interior designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors, calls “granny flowers.” Kaufman explains how these prints are back, but with a more modern feel. Kaufman recommends pairing bold florals with unexpected pieces or bright colors to keep them from looking dated.

Whether florals are your style or not, don’t be afraid to think a little outside the box when it comes to the prints you bring into your home.

“People are moving away from ‘safe’ choices like simple/sleek stripes or ruffles, for example, and becoming more comfortable with bolder patterns,” says Kaufman.

Art Deco styles

We may be in the mid-2020s, but why not take it back to the 1920s when designing your space? Kaufman predicts that the Art Deco style will become popular next year.

“People seem to be moving away from the ‘all modern everything’ look, and that’s especially evident in tile designs and color palettes,” she says.

So, she explains, don’t be afraid to go all in with elements like curved lines, mosaic tiles and deep jewel tones. The designer recommends doing this in a way that feels fresh and not overly themed.

“Balance is key here so things don’t feel too staged,” says Kaufman.
