The farmhouse trend, which ruled both home design and social media in the past decade, is now heading towards a new era. Houses decorated with white walls, shiplap, large barn doors and natural wood accents are now gradually replacing the country and effective but more ‘personal’ and ‘corrector-filled’ styles. In the opinion of interior designers and trend experts, the popularity of the farmhouse has now become somewhat ‘formulaic’ and ‘over-done’—and replaced by new trends for 2025 that focus on rich colors, textures, old-art appreciation, and big personal touches.
The most discussed after the farmhouse are trends such as “transitional cottage” or “cottagecore-rustic” and “organic modern”. The transitional cottage style retains some of the feel of the farmhouse, but it also has more depth, layered colours and muddy tones—such as mushroom, burgundy or sage green cabinets, dark oak furniture, jelly tiles and hand-painted patterns. The old ‘all white’ look is being replaced by warmth, piquancy and textured materials. The style is unique in that it creates a bridge between’ classic ‘and’ contemporary ‘ and values durability and long-lasting beauty.
“Organic modern” is another fast-emerging option, where minimalist designs, curved forms, matte finishes, light natural colors (sand, Auker, terracotta) and Wormwood are added with handcrafted elements. This style offers a mix of nature and creativity—sustainability, biophilia (i.e. indoor greenery and natural materials), and the inclusion of Vantage character furniture is reflected in it. Now people are preferring a decor that can feel the inner beauty and authenticity of a noisy, identical-looking farmhouse identity—that is, every corner tells a different story.
Most of the dominating trends of the past years like ‘all-white’, ‘disturbed decor’, ‘cliché formula sign boards’ etc. are no longer as ‘in’. Now places with a’ curated ‘and’ authentic ‘ feel are being created, where light colors have warmth and depth, look real, aged-vintage or handmade things instead of pre-distressed furniture. The headlines include ‘textured patterns’ – for example, limewashed walls, linens, walls, tarasota, and chains instead of dots and small lobes, that is, everything has a’ human touch’.
‘Coastal’ and ‘mid-century modern’ décor are also among the top most trends after farnhouse, where the boundaries between outdoor and indoor are erased. Materials such as natural light, rattan, bamboo, ocean-blue, off-whites and soft beige tones give this style a flexible and refreshing touch. At the same time, mid-century modern combines classic and today’s design with bold forms, organic shapes, and colorful attitudes.
Summing up, the interior design world of houses after farmhouses is taking a new direction where creativity, tradition and contemporary thinking are converging. People are bringing ‘valuable’, ‘personal’ and ‘real’ content to their homes—not just trends, but creating places that get better over time. This change is not only a trend, but also an aspiration to forge your identity apart from others and live in a calm, pleasant atmosphere
