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.
