Design Trends in 2025: Takeaways from Paris Deco Off

Paris has long been at the forefront of style—whether in fashion, art, or interiors. This year, Eddie Maestri traveled to Paris Deco Off, the premier showcase for luxury textiles, wallcoverings, and design innovations, bringing back key takeaways for clients and design enthusiasts alike. Between showroom visits, design meetings, and a whirlwind of inspiring events—including Feau Boiseries' 150th anniversary celebration and the American Party at Hotel de Ville—one thing became clear: 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year in interiors!

Here’s what’s trending in Paris and what we can expect to see making its way into U.S. homes soon.

Wall Coverings: Texture & Drama

One of the biggest takeaways from Paris Deco Off? Walls are becoming a canvas for artistry and texture.

  • Limewash, Venetian plaster, and raw plaster finishes are replacing flat painted walls, adding depth and a rich, lived-in feel.
  • Bold wallpaper prints—from oversized florals to abstract motifs—are making a comeback, bringing personality and movement into spaces.
  • Fabric-covered walls are adding warmth and luxury, with linen, velvet, and intricate embroidered panels creating soft, sound-dampening backdrops.

Furniture: Sculptural & Statement-Making

French interiors continue to favor pieces that balance artistry with function.

  • Curved and sculptural silhouettes in sofas, chairs, and tables offer a softer, more inviting aesthetic.
  • Rich, dark wood finishes—walnut, mahogany, and deep stains—are replacing the lighter wood tones that have dominated in recent years.
  • Maximalist upholstery is on the rise, with bold patterns, plush velvets, and intricate tapestries giving furniture a fresh and dramatic feel.
  • As always, Parisian style is all about mixing old and new, with antique pieces effortlessly paired with modern designs for a collected, curated look.

Lighting: Functional Art

Lighting is stepping into the spotlight as a defining element in interiors.

  • Sculptural fixtures are doubling as statement pieces, turning chandeliers, sconces, and pendants into works of art.
  • Murano glass pendants were a standout at Deco Off, showcasing the beauty of handcrafted Italian glass in new, modern forms.
  • Art Deco influences are making a comeback in lighting design, with geometric patterns and luxurious finishes bringing a vintage-meets-modern appeal.
  • Natural materials such as clay, stone, and wood are being integrated into lighting designs, reinforcing a return to organic, sustainable elements.

Design Styles: Parisian Influence in Every Form

From Deco Off showrooms to antique markets, Eddie noticed a mix of design styles shaping the next wave of interiors:

  • Maximalism is back—layering colors, textures, and patterns for a collected, well-traveled aesthetic.
  • Surrealist influences are bringing a whimsical touch to interiors, with unexpected shapes, playful motifs, and artistic details.
  • Bold stripes are appearing in wallpapers, fabrics, and upholstery, adding drama and structure to rooms.
  • Sustainability remains key, with designers emphasizing natural, long-lasting materials that prioritize craftsmanship over trends.

The Future of Home Design: What to Expect

Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of Art Deco, the richness of maximalist textures, or the quiet sophistication of textured walls, 2025 is about bold, intentional design. The takeaway? Parisian style is all about balance—mixing classic and modern, bold and understated, history and innovation.
