How to Bring Maison & Objet 2025 Décor Trends to Life with French Antiques

Every year, Maison & Objet in Paris sets the tone for the coming season’s décor inspirations. In 2025, the spotlight is on natural materials, bold patterns, earthy tones, and a renewed appreciation for craftsmanship. At Chez Pluie, we believe antiques are the perfect way to interpret these trends with timeless authenticity and refined French style.

1. Earthy Browns & Natural Materials

Trend: Shades of brown, tobacco, and ochre are making a comeback, paired with organic textures like wood, stone, and raw textiles.

With Antiques:
Antiques embody these natural finishes effortlessly. A farmhouse table in oak, a warm-toned wooden sideboard, or a patinated terracotta confit pot instantly align with today’s earthy palette and raw materials. 

2. Rounded Forms & Organic Curves

Trend: Soft, rounded silhouettes dominate furniture and accessories, creating a welcoming and flowing aesthetic.

With Antiques:
Antiques provide beautiful interpretations of this trend. Think of a Louis-Philippe mirror with curved edges, a vintage club chair with elegant curves, or a stone mortar with organic contours. These pieces soften modern spaces and add character through their graceful forms.

3. Bold Prints & Visual Contrasts

Trend: Bold colors and strong graphic patterns are being used to add drama and personality. Color palettes in 2025 include terracotta, sage green, deep blues, and even bold violets. These hues are used to energize interiors and highlight focal points.

With Antiques:
French antiques balance boldness beautifully. Use antiques as anchors within colorful settings. A gilded Louis XVI mirror glows against a violet wall; a rustic Provençal ocher jar stands out on a deep terracotta wall, reinforcing the earthy palette while adding authentic patina. A set of ironstone pitchers or faience plates displayed against sage green walls enhances their creamy whites and decorative details. By combining antiques with today’s trending colors, you create layered interiors that feel both fresh and timeless.

Pair a rustic armoire with a modern tiger-print cushion, a Louis XV bergère with a graphic velvet throw, a gilded Louis XVI mirror with midnight blue or deep aubergine walls.

4. Well-Being & Sustainability

Trend: Eco-consciousness and the art of slow living remain central in design, with an emphasis on longevity and comfort. 

With Antiques:
Antiques are the ultimate expression of sustainability. Each piece is unique, timeless, and recycled by nature. Choosing antiques is both environmentally responsible and aesthetically rewarding.

As 2025 turns toward natural textures, bold palettes, and a celebration of craftsmanship, antiques offer the perfect bridge between timeless heritage and contemporary living. They bring depth to bold colors, warmth to minimal spaces, and authenticity to modern trends.
