Style & Self-Expression

In 2025, more is more, and self-expression knows no limits.

Fashion is storytelling—an opportunity to wear your identity proudly and boldly. Silver is shining bright as the metallic of choice, taking over as the must-have metal of the year. In 2025, self-expression reaches new heights, with maximalism leading the charge—think layered necklaces and stacked bracelets and rings that blend textures, shapes, and meanings. Charm bars took off last season and continue to thrive, offering customizable ways for consumers to showcase their unique narratives. Retailers should embrace this demand for expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces, curating collections that encourage creativity, layering, and unapologetic personal expression.

Self-Care Sanctuaries

In 2025, we embrace self-care as an intentional luxury.

This year’s ‘slow self-care’ movement transforms rest into rejuvenation. Beds become wellness zones with products like beauty-enhancing sleep masks and cozy blankets. Authentic, sustainable products with visible results resonate with consumers, blending beauty, rest, and mental well-being. Retailers should focus on essentials that offer genuine relaxation and renewal.

Fruits & Florals

Curves, petals, and vibrant fruits spark creativity.

Fruits & Florals are having a moment, bringing playful charm and nostalgic whimsy to everyday living. Think juicy, vibrant motifs of cherries, lemons, and strawberries splashed across candles, stationery, and serveware—tiny treats designed to lift spirits and indulge our playful side. But it’s the floral section that truly blossoms in depth. This year, florals aren’t just about prints; they come alive through shape, texture, and dimension. Scalloped edges and curvy, petal-like silhouettes dominate, appearing in vases, ceramics, and soft furnishings. Bold, oversized floral patterns add drama, while delicate, dainty blossoms bring romance and nostalgia. Embrace the magic—whether through exaggerated kidult-inspired items or sophisticated home accents, there’s a blooming option for everyone.

Sub Trend: Ignite the Atmosphere

A key sub-trend within Expressive Entertaining, table-scaping. Table-scaping is all about creating visually captivating dining experiences. Unique candlesticks and taper candles take center stage, with colorful clusters adding warmth and mood. As Home Accents Today reports, tapered candles remain a top seller, making stylish candlesticks a must-have for retailers aiming to offer the perfect tablescape.

Earthy Neutrals

The foundation of cozy, inviting spaces.

Homeowners are embracing warmth like never before, and earthy neutrals are the timeless backbone of this trend. In 2025, warm tones—think rich browns, creamy beiges, and soft taupes—are replacing sterile whites and cool grays, creating interiors that feel grounded and welcoming. With Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year, leading the charge, designers are pairing these organic hues with natural wood elements for added depth and texture. The appeal of earthy neutrals lies in their versatility: they offer a serene backdrop that complements bold accents but can also shine on their own. Whether through textured fabrics, patinaed finishes, or warm woods, these palettes help transform any space into a cozy retreat, reflecting a growing desire for comfort and connection within the home.

Make it Merry

Expressive holiday décor blends nostalgia with modern twists.

Although the holidays just wrapped, retailers are already gearing up for the 2025 season. "While some trends are keeping with holiday classics, others are seeing twists on popular themes," says Ellen Wagner, Managing Editor of Gift Shop Plus and Stationery Trends. From traditional red and green to rich, royal palettes of emerald, deep reds, and navy, or playful pops of lavender, there’s a look for every style. With 50% of all generations favoring nostalgia, expect classic and vintage designs to shine, but don’t overlook the modern, expressive twists shoppers crave. Whether your vibe is cozy, natural, or glamorous, holiday decorating in 2025 is all about making it personal and merry.
