This Over-100-Year-Old Design Style Is Officially Making a Comeback, a Report Shows
For years now, the editors at Apartment Therapy have predicted the return of Art Deco elements in home design (like the re-popularization of reeded glass, for instance). And even though home technology is advancing and you can even talk to your lightbulbs, it seems that people are craving aspects of the past. Pinterest’s 2025 Fall Trend Report proves just that by predicting a rise in 1920s, Gatsby-style renaissance style come this fall.
What Is Art Deco?
Art Deco was a style movement that started in Paris in the early 1920s, but hit its stride in the United States between 1925 and 1940. Its features include bold, graphic shapes; geometric symmetry; metallic sparkle and shine; and rich, jewel-toned colors. It fell out of fashion at the start of World War II, but has been referenced in the design of the following decades in different iterations.
Now, as Pinterest reports, we’re going to see another Art Deco revival as the style rings in its 100th birthday.
“For fall 2025, it’s all about elevating the everyday, making every corner an inspiring, unique escape — no matter your square footage or budget,” the report reads. This might look like adding statement tiles in rich terracottas, teal, or copper to a backsplash or bathroom (the search for “vintage tiles” is up over 1,000%!).
Alternatively, it could involve incorporating antique or antique-inspired Art Deco decor pieces into a space, such as geometric textiles, beaded lamps, or shiny metallic accents. This Pottery Barn lamp is a great example of this style. The search term “Art Deco vintage” has increased in popularity by over 745%, according to the Trend Report.
Art Deco isn’t the only aesthetic on the horizon for fall, though. Pinterest also suspects a rise in vintage prep style, mainly in fashion, but decor could reflect this trend too. Think: vintage pennant flags, navy stripes on linens (like this Wayfair set) or wall treatments, and patchworked items like quilts and pillows.
Warm, fall scents are also being searched for on Pinterest, with apple, caramel, and almond being three of the most-searched-for scent profiles. You can’t do autumn without burning a fall scented candle, now can you?
