5 Deco Trends 2025: The “Seaside” Phenomenon in the Pinterest Era

Between Natural Retreat and Bold Expression, the “Seaside” Phenomenon in the Pinterest Era

Deco trend 2025 no.1 – The Slow Deco: New Philosophy of Life

The slow deco trend stands out as one of the major revolutions of 2025-2026. This approach prioritizes quality over quantity and invites to create sustainable and soothing spaces. More than just a simple decorative style, slow deco reflects a true philosophy of life inspired by the slow living movement.

The Featured Materials of the Slow Deco

Natural materials dominate this trend. Local Quebec wood (maple, oak, cherry) is regaining its letters of nobility, particularly appreciated for its durability and authenticity. Travertine and natural stone invite themselves into our interiors, creating this mineral texture so sought.

Plant fibres perfectly complement this aesthetic: washed linen, cotton gauze and rattan bring that enveloping softness characteristic of the movement..

Deco trend 2025 no.2 – The Seaside Style Reinvented, from Pinterest to Reality

The seaside style is undergoing a radical transformation in 2025-2026. This aesthetic abandons the nautical clichés to embrace a more natural, textured and minimalist approach. Exit the anchors and the rudders: place to a refined atmosphere that evokes the serenity of the coastline.

The New Palette of the Seaside

No more the traditional navy blue, white and red trio! The modern palette favors warm whites (ivory, eggshell, ecru) that capture natural light while diffusing a feeling of warmth. Blues evolve towards more sophisticated shades: blue-grey for depth, duck blue for elegance, or turquoise blue for summer freshness.

This evolution perfectly meets the Pinterest 2025 trends, where searches for ‘beige coastal decor’ and ‘classy beach home decor’ are exploding, reflecting a demand for a more refined aesthetic.

Materials and Textures: Authenticity Before All

Wood remains the central element, but it comes in all its forms: authentic driftwood, weathered recycled wood, or local species such as Quebec cherry. The parquet “à l’anglaise” subtly reminds the boards of old sailboats without falling into cliché.

Natural fibres take a preponderant place. The washed linen, the off-white curly wool and the cotton gauze create this enveloping atmosphere so characteristic. For carpetes and suspensions, jute, rattan and seagrass provide this sought-after natural texture.

Deco trend 2025 no.3 -Shapes and Features: Smart Comfort

The year 2025 marks the return of organic shapes and enveloping roundness. We abandon rigid straight lines for curves that evoke comfort and serenity.

The Cocoon Furniture

The sofas are XXL and cozy, inviting relaxation. The seats adopt irregular contours, like these curly wool chairs that remind of clouds. This sculptural trend is accompanied by comfortable materials that accentuate the enveloping effect.

This evolution responds to our need to create a true sanctuary of comfort at home, particularly important in the Quebec context where interior spaces become refuges during the long winter months.

Intelligent Space Optimization

With the evolution of real estate prices in Quebec, every square foot counts. The trend “enlarge inside” translates into integrated storage solutions and multi-functional furniture. Basements turn into domestic gyms, workspaces blend harmoniously into living rooms.

“The current layout no longer divides, it creates subtle areas that adapt to the rhythms of life of the occupants.” – Matthieu from Atelier C3 Design

Deco trend 2025 no.4 – Lighting and Fixtures: The key element of the room

The luminaires become real art objects. The table lamps are no longer satisfied with lighting: they structure the space with their original lampshades, their sculptural feet and their minimalist curves. Opal glass globes and fine geometric lines dominate the new collections.

Indirect Lighting: Ambiance Creator

Indirect lighting is gaining popularity, particularly in bathrooms where it creates a spa atmosphere. LED strips under cabinets, dimmed wall lights and room recessed completely transform the perception of space.

This trend aligns perfectly with our expertise at Atelier C3 Design, where we systematically integrate lighting into the design of our custom furniture projects.

Deco trend 2025 no.5 – Upcycling and the Second Life of Objects

Upcycling becomes essential in 2025. The IDEA of upcycling is the art of recycling ‘from above’. Unlike traditional recycling that turns materials into products of equal or inferior quality, upcycling seeks to improve the value and aesthetics of the original object. This revolutionary practice addresses our environmental concerns while allowing for the creation of truly unique pieces. For example, take a glass bottle to create elegant vases or handcrafted candles that become real art objects in your decor.

The Value of Handmade

The personal expression in the decorations is reinforced with the “handmade” accents and the creations of local artists. Original works such as those by Noir sur Blanc bring this sought-after authenticity into our interiors. The ceramic objects of the house, such as those created by Sarah-Maude Girard , a specialist in unique pieces cooked in a reducing atmosphere, transform our spaces with their unique artisanal character.

The personalized murals of Décor Imprimé also revolutionize our walls by offering 100% local creations, from ideation to manufacturing. This trend values uniqueness and authenticity, values dear to our philosophy at Atelier C3 Design..

Integrate These Trends into Your Project

How to adapt these trends to your Quebec reality? Here are our practical recommendations:

• Start with color: Adopt an organic neutral base (sand beige, off-white) then add bold accents according to your personality
• Prioritize local materials: Cherry, maple and Quebec oak bring authenticity and sustainability
• Focus on lighting: Multiply light sources to create different atmospheres at different times
• Optimize each space: Think multifunctional, especially in the typical confined spaces of urban condos

The Future of Quebec Design
