Statement Decor Trends That Will Be Booming In 2025

The word "statement" has been tacked on to decor and fashion pieces for a while now. In case you've missed the definition on this oft-used style-centered adjective, it's used to describe items that draw extra attention. In a room, a statement piece is usually the element that grabs the eye first. Sometimes it's the whole room that makes the statement, like with the enduring maximalist decor trend.

For 2025, you can update cabinets with off-beat hardware, bring in a new source of light that's impossible to ignore, or get out your paint buckets to ring in the new year in style. Whether it's pops of color, one bold accessory, a room saturated in one color, or a seemingly random accumulation of objects or pattern mixes that are strangely harmonious together, this could be the year you dare to make a statement with your decor.

Often quirky, occasionally sentimental, and nearly always bold, statement pieces are predicted to play a big role in decor this coming year. Smaller fixtures like mirrors, rugs, lighting, or a single, boldly-painted piece of furniture all have appeared on style forecast lists. To jump on the trend, consider a wall hanging, which is arguably easier to install than a new light fixture. An eye-catching mirror like this ironsmithn Gold Arched Mirror will add gilding and light to your space, and its curved top is a nod to the rounded furnishings and arched details that are earning early buzz. There's no need to make a big purchase, however, as you can always upgrade your boring mirrors with a funky DIY solution.

If you're in the market for some new overhead lighting, a stunner like this golden starburst ZGLAOJT Ceiling Light fits all the specs of a statement lighting fixture. If wiring up a new ceiling-mounted piece sounds daunting, an unusual floor lamp like this Brightech Nova Modern Floor Lamp can do the trick without much extra work at all.

Forget one piece and steep an entire room in statement-making style. Mixing patterns throughout a living or bedroom is a surefire way to make your space interesting. Bedding in mix-and-match prints or cushions and blankets adorning living room seating is a low-commitment way to try out some of these ideas. Pillow covers and throws are easy to trade out as moods pass, and there are plenty of options available that won't hurt your wallet. Purchase a grouping of pillow covers like these yellow embroidered HWY 50 Decorative Throw Pillow Covers paired with these aportt Store Chinoiserie Pillow Covers for a contrasting yet complementary look. You may already have the makings for perfect pattern mixing in your linen closet, too — take a glance at printed sheets or multicolored blankets you'd never consider teaming up before.

The idea of color-drenching is gaining traction as well; this concept has you painting and accessorizing spaces all in one color. While this can be a major time- and money-sink, the effect is striking. If you can't decide on a go-to hue, consider red, aka the bright and bold color trend you'll be seeing more of in 2025. Whether it's a painted cabinet, a patterned throw rug, or a mishmash of textile patterns in the red family, it'll be hard to go wrong with this magnetic hue.
