Twice a year, the Maison & Objet show brings together players in the world of homeware and defines what you will find in decoration stores for the coming season.
This is the unmissable event at the start of the year! The specialized press and buyers from decoration stores in France and elsewhere flock to Villepinte to discover the latest products from furniture and decorative object brands. This is the perfect opportunity to take the pulse of trends in style, color and material, and imagine the interiors of tomorrow. If deciphering fashions was still simple a few years ago, trends are now more subtle, and several styles now coexist. One thing is certain: a major change is taking place in our interiors… Some will love it, others will hate it.
For this January 2025 edition, the Maison & Objet show had the theme ”Sur/Reality”, a revisited version of Surrealism. On the show’s scenographies, the objects selected by the decorating pros were halfway between dream and reality, with sometimes very original proposals. And this is what contrasts with previous trends where decor rather advocated natural materials, raw craftsmanship and a certain simplicity. No more smooth interiors where nothing sticks out, make way for an assertive style with bright colors, lines as graphic as they are dreamlike and bold and offbeat decorative accessories that question whoever looks at them.
On the brand side, the trend is less marked, but the change is making its way. If clean lines, neutral colors and wood remain at the forefront, objects with strong character are appearing, like a revisited curiosity cabinet. It is then a question of bringing a little more daring to your interior and showing your personality. Moreover, the color red is back in force and highlights the most modest decors with a little pep. Stripes and checks also energize atmospheres without making waves and restore a little geometry to interiors with very organic shapes. Wood and stone are no longer the only ones to reign when it comes to furniture, since metal and lacquered furniture now feature prominently in the living room aisles. In short, less Mediterranean, more creativity. Get ready, the change has only just begun…
