Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 2
Boucle
Boucle has been on trend for several years now, but Carmona predicts it's going away in 2025. While it is certainly a stylish fabric, the problem is that it simply isn't practical for most homes. "Anyone with kids, pets, or those who tend to use their furniture a lot, are retiring the trend from their homes as quickly as it entered. We initially embraced boucle alongside all things cozy and textural, but since it looks cozier than it actually is, we're likely to see a softer, more practical replacement."
However, this doesn't mean that boucle will look totally dated in 2025. Instead, it’s best to take a more nuanced approach. So, opt for a boucle accent chair over a sofa.
Open Kitchen Shelving
Open shelving is a fantastic way to display pretty dishes and a unique serving platter or two. But in recent years, it's gone too far, explains Holland. "Once the darling of the open and airy aesthetic, few people are willing deal with the dust, grease and clutter open shelves tends to attract.
Clients want easy organizing solutions and furniture-inspired closed storage that conceals unsightly water bottles, mismatched coffee mugs, and kids' dinnerware."
So while an open shelf or two might look nice, forgoing closed cabinetry altogether is just way too impractical for most homes.
Marble Overload
While marble is timeless and chic, the marble overboard aesthetic is going away in 2025. "Statement-making, heavily-veined slabs used for countertops, walls, backsplash, floors, even the ceiling demanded too much attention and seldom reflected the homeowner's personality.
A whole room? Too much."
Grout Gone Wild
While grout is a necessary part of any bathroom, over-the-top grout is a trend going away in 2025. Holland tells me, "It's time to flush this trend down the toilet. The use of prominent, contrasting grout for tile and backsplashes promised to offer a detour from decades of unimaginative gray and white grout. But truthfully, this mismatched look appears visually chaotic, especially in compact spaces."
So, it's best to match the grout to the tile and keep the lines as small as possible.
Art Deco
While Art Deco is beautiful in authentic spaces like restaurants, Holland tells me people are tired of trying to incorporate it into a home. "This over-the-top style is often too dominating for everyday living. Art Deco is enticing in art and in theaters, not so much in a home with drooling pets and messy toddlers."
