In 2025, opulence is set to make a grand comeback with the rise of Rococo Revival, or so say Pinterest in their Pinterest Predicts 2025.

Pinterest has established itself as being at the forefront of trends, so when they predict something new is on the rise, it's probably a good idea to listen.

Among some other trends spotlighted in the latest installment of Pinterest Predicts (Cherry Coded, Castlecore, and Fisherman Aesthetic to name a few) Rococo Revival stands out as a luxurious but fun and girly design style.

The Rococo era, described as "a Late Baroque period that was both opulent and ultra-feminine" celebrates soft pastels, gilded accents, and intricate floral designs, bringing a sense of timeless luxury that feels fresh and relevant today.

At Love-Rugs, we’re here to help you capture the magic of Rococo Revival. Whether you’re looking to transform your living space into an elegant haven or add a touch of grandeur to a single room, we'll help you to embrace this lavish trend.

 

What is Rococo Revival?

Rococo Revival is a modern reinterpretation of the 18th-century Rococo era, a time celebrated for its elaborate artistry and unapologetic luxury.

This style originated in France during the early 1700s and became synonymous with soft, romantic aesthetics and a love for all things ornate. In 2025, Rococo Revival brings these classic elements into the contemporary world, creating spaces that feel both timeless and fresh.

The defining features of this trend include soft pastel hues like blush pink, sky blue, and mint green, accented by touches of gold, ivory, and cream. Intricate details and floral motifs take center stage, whether in furniture, accessories, or decor. Gilded mirrors, decorative carvings, and opulent textures complete the look, blending traditional elegance with a more modern perspective.

Why Rococo Revival Works for 2025 Homes

The interior landscape has been dominated by minimalism for a number of years, Rococo Revival offers a refreshing alternative to this, embracing self-expression and a new form of maximalism. 

This trend particularly resonates with Gen Z, who are drawn to its bold aesthetics and romantic charm. With its soft pastels, intricate floral motifs, and luxurious details, Rococo Revival provides a way to create spaces that feel personal, unique, and unapologetically stylish.

Surprisingly however, an aspect that makes this trend so relevant in 2025 is its ability to effortlessly blend with modern design elements. You can take as much or as little inspiration from the Rococo aesthetic as you like and add it to your existing decor to create your own personal interior style.

Bringing Rococo Revival Into Your Home

 

Introducing the Rococo Revival trend to your home is all about blending elegance and opulence with a modern touch. Here are the key elements you should focus on:


Colours: Soft and Luxurious

Rococo Revival thrives on blush pink, sky blue, and mint green, accented with metallic gold or soft ivory. These tones create a refined, airy atmosphere.

  • Tip: Use pastels for walls or textiles and metallics for lighting, mirrors, or decor.

Furniture: Curves and Intricacy 

Opt for furniture with curved lines, carved details, and gilded finishes. Key pieces like an ornate armchair or a statement sofa can define the space.

  • Modern Twist: Balance ornate furniture with minimalist accents to avoid visual clutter.

Blending Old and New

Pair Rococo-inspired details with contemporary elements for a balanced look. A pastel rug under sleek furniture or a gilded mirror above a modern console makes the style feel fresh and accessible.

By focusing on these elements, you can effortlessly bring Rococo Revival into your home, creating a space that’s elegant, timeless, and uniquely yours.
