The 2025 Trend Report
Maximalist moments, cultural authenticity, and intuitive styling—this year’s accessory trends are reshaping hospitality.
How Today's Elite Designers Are Wielding Accessories to Transcend the Ordinary
The accessory game in hospitality design has evolved far beyond the pedestrian task of filling empty surfaces.
Here's how the cognoscenti are using decorative elements to transform their spaces from merely designed to utterly divine:
Material Innovation
Gone are the limitations of yesterday's manufacturing constraints. Today's production capabilities give us deliciously unexpected forms in ceramics, cement, glass, and resin – shapes and silhouettes that make traditionalists double-take.
The result? Pieces that serve as conversation starters rather than space fillers.
Luxury Material Moments
The whisper of opulence through carefully chosen materials is having its moment. A travertine vessel here, a marble object there – it's the design equivalent of wearing vintage Cartier with jeans.
These small touches of luxury materials are proving that sometimes the most powerful statements are made in measured doses.
The White Evolution
White remains eternal, darling, but it's shed its stark, minimalist persona.
Today's designers are embracing white with texture, depth, and nuance – think surfaces that beg to be touched and forms that create shadow play.
It's white but with intention and intrigue.
Book Curation 2.0
The pendulum has swung from generic filler books to thoughtfully curated collections that actually warrant a second look.
While leather-bound classics maintain their place, designers increasingly request specialized topics that reflect the property's ethos – architecture, design, local culture, and art.
It's about creating discovery moments for guests who actually crack open those spines.
Intuitive Styling
The rigidity of traditional styling rules has given way to something far more interesting – arrangement by feel.
It's like composing a visual symphony where the negative space is as important as the objects themselves.
Trust us, it's more calculated than it appears.
Maximalist Moments
Color drenching and pattern play continue their triumphant reign, with accessories either diving headlong into the revelry or providing strategic counterpoints.
In these spaces, more isn't just more – it's everything.
The Guest Room Revolution
Here's where things get particularly interesting.
We're seeing a surge in demand for customized pieces that transform standard guest rooms into individual moments of delight.
Picture custom-colored trays that echo a property's signature hue or bespoke pieces that whisper the hotel's narrative.
We're particularly adept at dreaming up these little moments of magic – brainstorming creative solutions that make guests reach for their phones (and their room keys for a return visit).
Cultural Authentication
Accessories are no longer just pretty things on shelves—they're becoming storytellers of place and culture.
Whether incorporating local craft techniques or reflecting regional aesthetics, these pieces ground spaces in their geographical and cultural context.
