6 Home and Lifestyle Trends That Will Dominate This Fall

Pinterest is the go-to resource for home and lifestyle inspiration. It also serves as a crystal ball of sorts, predicting up-and-coming trends based on its users' interests. As summer comes to an end, the social media platform is offering a peek at autumn trends with its just-released fall report.

According to the findings, there is a powerful shift toward thrifting and sustainable shopping, with users curating unique spaces with pre-loved treasures.

"On Pinterest, we’ve seen searches for 'thrifted kitchen' jump more than 1,000 percent and 'thrifted décor' rise over 280 percent this year alone," says Sydney Stanback, global insights and trends lead for Pinterest. "Whether it’s a vintage lamp, a retro rug, or a perfectly worn-in dining set, these secondhand treasures bring instant character to a space while keeping both budget and planet in mind."

From blue ceramic backsplashes to 1920s-inspired interiors, we are highlighting the home and lifestyle trends that Pinterest users are currently searching for, and what you can expect to see this fall.

Statement Tiles

Statement tiles are having a major moment because they can transform a room without a full renovation, Stanback notes. Searches for "vintage tiles" have soared over 1,100 percent, and "accent tile behind stove" is up nearly 400 percent. Other popular terms include "terracotta tiles texture," "copper tiles bathroom," and "blue ceramic tile."

"Homeowners are using bold patterns, rich colors, and unique textures to turn everyday spaces—like a kitchen backsplash or a bathroom floor—into works of art. It’s a simple swap that makes the space feel instantly elevated and deeply personal," she adds.

Office Space Makeovers

Whether returning to the office or working from home, users are looking to infuse their workspaces with personal style. Searches for "green office aesthetic" and "luxe office" have increased by 1,065 percent and 2,766 percent, respectively.

Art Deco Decor

According to Stanback, Art Deco is making a glamorous comeback, but with a modern twist. Pinterest has seen interest in "Art Deco vintage" rise over 800 percent, with users gravitating toward statement lighting, geometric patterns, and luxe materials like brass and marble.

"Even small touches—a scalloped mirror, a velvet armchair, or a graphic wallpaper—can infuse a room with that signature 1920s elegance. It's all about mixing bold design elements with everyday comfort," she says.

Sweet Bread and Mini Bakes

When it comes to seasonal baking, Pinterest found that decorated sweet focaccia breads and mini bakes—think tiny cakes, brunch bites, and mini dessert buffets—will be popular this fall. Searches for "mini dessert ideas" and "mini egg cheesecake" were up 529 percent and 854 percent, respectively, while "lemon blueberry focaccia" rose 308 percent and "cinnamon focaccia" was up 562 percent.

"Mini bakes and sweet breads are perfect for intimate gatherings, gifting, or simply treating yourself without the fuss of a full-sized bake," Stanback says. "They’re charming, shareable, and make everyday moments feel a little more special."

Vintage Preppy Looks

According to the Pinterest data, preppy aesthetics are making a return, from classic navy stripes to Gen Z’s fresh take on Southern prep. Searches for "women's preppy outfits" were up a whopping 47,680 percent among all ages, while interest in "preppy vibes" was up 5,597 percent. Polka dots and 1960s baby doll glamour are also growing in popularity on Pinterest.

Autumnal Fragrances

As the weather cools, cozy layering extends to fragrances with warm, nostalgic scents like apple, vanilla, and caramel showing up as the season's must-haves. Pinterest found that searches for "vanilla scent aesthetic" were up 117 percent, and "layering scent combos" rose by 157 percent.

Mortgage rates hit a new 2025 low after soft job openings report

Mortgage rates decreased slightly on Wednesday morning to a year-to-date low of 6.49% after the job openings data came in below expectations. The key takeaway from this BLS report is that we now have more unemployed workers than job openings. This is significant because the Federal Reserve has traditionally valued job openings data and has emphasized that there have always been more job openings than unemployed workers in the past.

On this news, the 10-year yield fell a few basis points and this is one of four labor reports we will get this week.

Job openings

From the BLS: The number of job openings was little changed at 7.2 million in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the month, both hires and total separations were unchanged at 5.3 million. Within separations, both quits (3.2 million) and layoffs and discharges (1.8 million) were unchanged.

I believe the Federal Reserve views this data positively because its primary goal is to reduce wage growth back to around 3%. They don’t have much faith in the productivity growth narrative, so achieving 3% wage growth with 1% productivity could help reach the 2% inflation target.

Now that there are more unemployed Americans than job openings, this situation should provide them with some reassurance. As shown below, the Fed has made significant progress in reducing job openings from nearly 12 million following the COVID recession to about 7.2 million.

Jobs week continues

We have several more important economic reports coming out this week, including the ADP jobs report, jobless claims report and the crucial monthly nonfarm payroll jobs report from the BLS on Friday. The previous BLS jobs report was significantly below expectations, so even a small improvement would be notable. I recently discussed how to approach jobs week in this episode of the HousingWire Daily podcast with Sarah Wheeler.

It’s been very hard for the 10-year yield to break under 4.18% and stick this year. The only way we did this was in the aftermath of the Godzilla tariffs, when stocks entered a brief bear market. So until we are able to do this, I wouldn’t get too excited about rates going much lower. Of course, mortgage rates are already near year-to-date lows because mortgage spreads are better in 2025 than in the past two years.

Conclusion

While today’s job openings report wasn’t terrible, it was soft enough to lower bond yields. This will be the last job openings report before the next Fed meeting and the Fed has emphasized this data point significantly over the years.

The labor market is not showing signs of breaking down, but it lacks a solid foundation, as manufacturing and residential jobs are currently being lost. Without the influx of AI-driven investment into the economy, the labor data would likely be in a worse state. We will see what the upcoming reports reveal, but beating the three-month average of 35,000 job growth this Friday shouldn’t be too difficult.

Join us for First Friday in Highlands Ft. Berkeley Hoerr

3442 W 32nd Ave
9.5.2025, 6-9pm

Meet Berkeley Hoerr

My paintings are a celebration of color and the profound beauty that exists within the everyday. I am inspired by the quiet details of my daily life–objects, textures, and fleeting moments. I live much of my life outdoors, where I notice and record moments where our presence leaves its mark on the landscape and how our environment shapes us in return.

Color is central to my practice. It allows me to turn these familiar moments into something extraordinary. I use bold hues and unexpected combinations to invite viewers into my world, where ordinary scenes are actually vivid expressions of connection, resilience, and constant change.

My work is a call to pause, to look closely, and to embrace the richness of our shared experiences. By magnifying everyday moments, I aim to inspire a deeper connection to the world around us and a renewed sense of wonder in the small details of our lives.

Learn more about Berkeley in our Q+A!

What are you working on right now?
Right now I am starting work on a series of large scale oil paintings based on photographs from my trip down the Grand Canyon this fall. I took photographs of different textures throughout the canyon along our 24 day rafting trip. I’m zooming in on each subject so much that although the paintings themselves are realistic they feel abstract because of the close-up scale.

What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work I like to spend time outdoors. As much as I love trail running and mountain biking, I also enjoy moving slowly. Looking is my favorite thing to do. Observing small moments in nature feels monumental.

What is your dream project?
My dream project is a large-scale installation of my palette scrapes series. I would love to frame each palette scrape individually and hang them in a huge grid. I’ve done smaller-scale installations of them before but would love to see 60 or so of them hung together on one wall.

What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is mixing paint. I started oil painting when I was eight years old and would copy Old Masters' paintings. In doing so, I became an expert at matching colors and it's still one of my very favorite things to do. I love adding unexpected pigments to a big pile of paint, smushing it around with my palette knife, adjusting until I get just the right color.

Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in the outdoors and in the mundane routine of my life. I’m much more interested in painting subjects that are not already considered beautiful, but instead become beautiful through the act of painting them. I think inspiration only works up to a point. I am a much bigger believer in going to work everyday and working even when inspiration hasn’t “struck.” I think it is the process of painting that propels my ideas forward.

What are your thoughts about your city's creative scene for artists, designers, crafters, makers, and/or small businesses?

I love Denver’s creative scene! I have a studio at Prism Workspaces, where I’m surrounded everyday by other artists working in a variety of media. I’m constantly amazing by the creativity and talent of other Denver artists.

What is the best piece of advice that you have ever received?

The best piece of advice I have ever received was from my college painting professor: “Don’t wait for inspiration, just show up and work everyday.” It’s a motto I continue to live by.
