Vintage Items Trending in 2025: What I’m Hunting For (And Why You Should Be, Too!)
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest design trends, then you know that vintage is where it’s at. And when it comes to spring vintage decor, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of maximalism. Architectural Digest recently highlighted some of the most popular trends in vintage home decor, and let me tell you—I’m on the hunt for some of these beauties. If you’re into adding a little (or a lot!) of character to your home, you won’t want to miss what’s trending this year.
High-End Vintage Maximalism: More is More
Let’s talk about high-end vintage maximalism—don’t let the fancy name scare you away! This style is all about bold patterns, luxurious materials, and a whole lot of color. Think of it as embracing eclectic design but with a refined, almost sophisticated twist. It’s like mixing grandma’s heirloom china with a pop of vibrant modern flair, and honestly, it’s the perfect way to refresh any space.
So, what are the key pieces you need for this trend? Here’s my list of must-haves:
1. Rattan & Wicker Lamps: Whether it’s a large rattan pendant light or a smaller wicker table lamp, these pieces are a perfect blend of timeless style and bohemian flair. They’re the perfect accent in a maximalist home because they add texture without overwhelming the design.

2. Floral Vintage Photos & Art: It’s all about statement walls in 2025, and vintage floral art is making a huge comeback. I love mixing florals with stripes or geometrics to create a dynamic, vibrant vibe.

5. Light Fixtures (Especially Wall Sconces): Those ornate, vintage light fixtures you can’t resist? Yes, please. The more intricate, the better. Wall sconces are a particular favorite for creating layered lighting and adding a little extra drama to your space.
6. Patterns on patterns on PATTERNS: Whether it’s rugs, pillows, curtains or table linens- don’t be afraid to MIX patterns! Keep the patterns cohesive with colors and styles for a truly unique space.
