From frontier-chic leather sofas to preppy golf-themed giclées and cozy crocheted afghans, Etsyâs trend report for the spring-summer season is packed with shoppable inspiration for all spaces. The marketplace has a lot of intel to draw on, with 92 million-plus buyers and seven million sellers; Etsy’s in-house trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson has a great vantage point for spotting trends advancing down the pike. As she puts it, âOne of the most magical things about Etsy is the way our vibrant creator community shapes trends before they hit the mass market.â Here, we highlighted a few of our favorite themes from the report, coming soon to a shopping cartâand, no doubt, a well-styled homeânear you.
Western decor, with a twist, saddles up
Beyonceâs âCowboy Carterâ drop and Bella Hadidâs horse-riding hobby are just two recent examples of what Etsy calls the âWestern 2.0â aesthetic, but searches for frontier-inspired decor and style have also been on the rise at the marketplace, an indicator that the aesthetic is migrating into our homes. (Just consider the 428% rise in âhorseshoe charmâ searches!). As the brand opines in its trend report, the âiconic Western look has transcended its cowboy roots to become a symbol of rugged-yet-chic style, and the newest version of the Western trend incorporates timeless elements like leather, suede and fringe with a touch of glam.â Embrace the outback with cowgirl hats (to be worn or hung thoughtfully for decorative effect), boot themed accents like tea towels, and distressed leather and denim furniture.
Crochet, embroidery, and vintage textiles are a tapestry of new trends
Granny-chic has entered the chat, but with an important caveat: The textiles and styles that are about to dominate home decor may at first blush feel vintage, but the look is an updated one. âShoppers are seeking pieces that seamlessly blend a vintage aesthetic with more modern design sensibilities,â notes the report. Think crochet, quilted, and embroidered details appearing on decidedly contemporary silhouettes. As Dayna recommends, the site is rife with crochet, quilting, and embroidery kits if youâd like to try your own hand at some time-honored techniques too. Not the crafty type? Some hand-crafted accents, like stitched pot holders, exquisite quilted jackets, and well-placed coffee table books on the topic of quilting and craftsmanship should help curate the same vibe.
The lovely, layered rom-com interior is back
Nancy Myers has been saying it for years. What Etsy calls the âRomCom interiorââa lived-in, comfy aesthetic decked out with friendly patterns, and a carefully curated library (or, er, bookshelf), is on the upswing. Forgo the minimalism thatâs been so in-vogue of late and, as trend expert Dayna puts it, try âde-modernizingâ any of your âsad beigeâ spaces into vintage-infused spaces designed with nostalgia and ease in mind. After all youâre the main character here. Wicker pendant lamps, vibrant vintage rugs and dark wooden floating shelves will help nail the Father of the Bride house vibe.
Sports-core is on the ball
Sportsâespecially âhobby sports,â like tennis, golf, and pickleballâare popping up in fashion and decor, according to Dayna. Searches for âlawn gamesâ are up 2,159%, while shoppersâ interest in boat bags, retro jerseys, and hoodie dresses are all surging too. Bring the preppy spirit into your space with green-and-white striped everything, framed vintage sports prints, and monogrammed gear for on and off the court.
The kitchen is still the heart of the home
Food and bev is continuing to have a moment. Given the immense popularity of cooking and baking shows (anyone else hooked on Is It Cake?) and the stratospheric evolution of the celebrity chef, itâs no surprise that the kitchen is expanding its reach beyond the bounds of a homeâs culinary quarters. Searches for âpasta printsâ are on the up by 39%, while âhost/hostess giftsâ have soared in search by 465%âand if youâre on the hunt for espresso martini candles, youâre not the only one, as that search skyrockets by a staggering 1,456%. Infuse the spirit into any area of your home with a selection of Etsyâs food- and bar-motif art, liquor-inspired candles and, for the truly trend-conscious, berry-print jumpsuits.
