What Is Trending Home Decor?

Manufacturers, showrooms, and most magazines are pushing new trends to make new sales.

However, you can explore those trends and still save money shopping vintage and thrift stores.

Vintage and Antique finds are currently trending in home decor. Although some decor styles are more on trend than others, thrifting has become a big deal.

There are two major reasons for these trends in home decor.

1. Second-hand decor is a budget-friendly option.
2. It’s eco-friendly to purchase used decor to keep it out of landfills.

How To Shop For New Trends At Thrift Stores

But what if you love a new trend? I’m with you because I love some of these trends also. I’m always checking out Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, and other trendy shops.

But guess what? What goes around comes around, and many of today’s trends are knock-offs of vintage designs.

If you are willing to look, you will be surprised how many similar finds are available for a fraction of the price.

# 1 Best Trend In Home Decor For Fall

I love this new Fall trend in home decor. It’s so simple, and it’s all about color.

Refrain from buying hundreds of faux pumpkins or other fall tchotchkes. Instead, look for muted fall colors to decorate your home.

Soft, muted browns, creams, golds, reds, ambers, and even blues are on trend for this fall.

Whether it’s a throw blanket, tablecloth, pillow, water goblet, or dinner plate, adding touches of these colors will provide a cozy, warm ambiance to style your home for fall.

#2 – Handcrafted Cottagecore Art

Another big trend for vintage shoppers is Cottagecore art.

• Original paintings of landscapes and still life framed art.
• Handmade quilts and wall hangings
• Needlepoint pillows and framed needlework.
• Vintage folk art such as toil-painted wooden villages and houses.

# 3 – Semi-precious metals and copper

Look for almost anything brass, silver, and pewter this fall.

Vintage candlesticks, vases, plates, goblets, sconces, and silverware.

In addition, vintage and antique copper is still huge and is always on trend. This fall, look for unique cookware pieces, trays, and pitchers to add a warm glow.

The copper double boiler and silver trophy vase are recent thrifting finds and enhance the copper spice rack.

The vintage copper measuring cups and antique spice jars with copper lids inspired the DIY Spice Rack and the full tutorial is available here.

Silver goblets, candlesticks, and trophy-shaped vases are now sharing the spotlight with antique brass.

# 4 – Textured Materials

Textured materials are always an excellent thrifted home decor choice. It’s a perfect way to add creative style, and bargains can be found in thrift stores.

Be sure to look for woven reed, wicker, rattan, and twig items.

I always look for woven rugs, placemats, baskets, and trays to add to my collections.

In addition, look for textured woven fabric made into pillows, throw blankets, and table clothes. Trending right now are fabrics with elegant textures, such as velvet and raw silks.

Chunky knitted throw blankets are always a good style choice for fall and winter.

# 5 – Trending Home Decor Made of Wood

Vintage wood is always a trending home decor item.

Y’all know that breadboards and dough bowls are my favorite. However, I’m also drawn to trays, small wooden bowls, rolling pins, smasher, and wooden risers.

# 6 – Colored Glass Bottles and Jars Thrifted Home Decor

Another vintage trend is colored glass jars and bottles. I always think of amber bottles for fall. However, try mixing with blues and greens this year to update your fall style. It’s a fresh twist on a classic fall look.

# 7 – Milk Glass -Wow, What A Versatile Vintage Decor Item

Vintage Milk Glass is always on trend because it’s such a versatile, simple material. However, it has recently had a resurgence and is hot, hot, hot.

I recently shared why it’s so popular, how to shop for it, and how to use it in your decor on 15 Stunning Ways to Decorate with Milk Glass.

You can find great deals in thrift stores and antique shops. Prices vary, so do your homework before you go. You can find more tips here.

# 8 – Old Books With Dusty Colored Covers

Decorating with vintage books always stays in style. This year pull out the vintage books with faded and dusty-looking covers in autumn colors.

Many thrift stores will sell books with faded covers for cheap. I found this stack for only $.25 each. They are perfect for fall decorating.

# 9 – Old Table Centerpieces, Wreaths or Swags

You can luck out with thrifted home decor such as table centerpieces, wreaths, or swags. Many people trade out yearly, and you can get some great deals with a little sprucing up.

Think repurpose when searching for old wreaths or swags to decorate this fall.

Many thrifted wreaths will include faded florals or smashed bows. However, don’t despair; if the price is right, it’s still a great deal.

# 10 – Nature Inspired Dishes, Platters, Etc.

The trend in Fall dinnerware is classic patterns or solid-colored dishes.

You can opt for nature-inspired fall dishes to update your tablescapes to be on trend this fall. Simple fall leaves, wheat, pinecones, or fruit look elegant and stylish on any fall table.

Traditional fall patterns such as Spode Thanksgiving China Patterns and serving pieces will always be on trend.

#11 – Planters and Galvanized Containers

My day is made when I find an old galvanized tub or bucket to add to my porches and landscape.

In addition, vintage concrete planters are another trending thrifted home decor find. Look for both urn-style and garden statuary-style planters.

This crusty concrete bunny planter added so much interest to the porch for summer. Don’t you think she will look great holding a mum or a pumpkin for fall?
