If your idea of home décor includes layers of personality, a fearless love of color, and more pattern than a minimalist can handle—welcome home. The vintage décor world is experiencing a full-blown renaissance, and this time it’s louder, richer, and wonderfully over the top.
Say goodbye to beige everything and hello to maximalism, wallpaper with presence, and unapologetically bold color. At Hinson Vintage Interiors, we’re seeing a huge resurgence in the demand for expressive, eclectic spaces—and vintage is leading the charge.
Here’s how the top trends are shaping interiors in 2025 (and how you can bring them into your space).
1. Maximalism: More Is More
Minimalism had its moment—but maximalism is back with flair. The modern maximalist home celebrates curated chaos: mismatched furniture, statement art, layered textiles, and collections of objects that tell a story.
What makes vintage the perfect fit for this trend? Character. From a 1950s Italian glass lamp to a 1980s Memphis-style side table, every piece comes with a history—and maximalism makes room for it all.
Design Tip: Start with one vintage anchor piece (think: an oversized floral armchair or a glass display cabinet) and build outward with accessories like ornate mirrors, framed prints, and colorful pottery.
2. Bold Color Palettes Are the New Neutral
Earth tones are making room for something more joyful. Designers and DIY decorators alike are embracing jewel tones, moody greens, ochre, and deep navy. Vintage décor naturally fits this trend—many mid-century and Art Deco pieces were made in rich, saturated tones that today feel both nostalgic and fresh.
From Murano glass bowls in ruby red to turquoise ceramic lamps from the ‘60s, the right pop of color transforms a space instantly.
HVI Favorites: We’re loving vintage pressed glass in emerald green, hand-painted ceramics, and lacquered furniture in retro hues.
3. Wallpaper Is the Crown Jewel
Florals, Chinoiserie, mod geometrics—wallpaper is once again having a moment. Vintage wallpaper and wallpaper-inspired patterns are key to making a room feel collected rather than cookie-cutter.
Whether you go for a full room or a single statement wall, wallpaper adds instant depth and charm. And pairing it with vintage furnishings? Chef’s kiss.
Design Tip: Try wallpaper in unexpected places: the back of a bookshelf, a powder room ceiling, or even inside your closet. Mix with vintage art or plates for an editorial look.
4. Statement Lighting That Tells a Story
Lighting is no longer just functional—it’s sculptural. Vintage chandeliers, blown glass pendants, and ceramic lamps are being snapped up as focal points for rooms that aren’t afraid of a little drama.
Maximalist lighting loves curves, brass, and textures. Think: 1970s glam meets cottagecore meets Hollywood Regency.
5. The Return of "Grandmillennial" Meets Eclectic
Florals, lace, needlepoint, and gilt frames—"granny chic" is still going strong, but with a modern twist. It’s less about recreating your grandmother’s sitting room and more about honoring the craftsmanship and mixing it with the unexpected. A mahogany hutch next to a lucite table? Yes, please.
Where to Start: Shop Vintage With Personality
Maximalism isn’t about buying more—it’s about choosing intentionally. At Hinson Vintage Interiors, we only source what we’d want in our own homes. Every piece is hand-picked for its style, story, and staying power. Because we believe that your home should feel collected, not decorated.
