Wander Into Summer: 2025 Home Decor Trends Through a Global Lens
By Voyage | New Orleans, LA
As the days grow longer and the Southern sun warms the courtyards of New Orleans, we find ourselves drawn once again to the beauty of open doors, barefoot living, and thoughtfully curated spaces that speak to the soul. At Voyage, summer is not just a season—it’s a state of mind. It’s when the artistry of the world finds its way home, piece by piece, from Marrakech to Oaxaca, Tangier to Tulum.
This summer, the spirit of escape and connection takes center stage in home design. From lush, lived-in textures to soulful color palettes and pieces with purpose, the season's trends are all about slowing down, embracing natural beauty, and curating a space that feels like a personal sanctuary. Here's what’s inspiring us now—and how our globally sourced, artisan-made pieces can bring these trends to life in your own home.
1. Earthy, Sun-Soaked Tones
Color leads the way this season with a palette inspired by sun-drenched landscapes and earthen textures. Think terracotta, dusty rose, sun-bleached ochre, clay, and dune. These colors evoke warmth, grounding energy, and an effortless elegance.
At Voyage, our hand-glazed Moroccan pots—especially in oversized silhouettes—embody this palette beautifully. Whether placed on a patio with cascading greenery or anchoring an indoor vignette, these vessels bring both structure and soul. Each one is handmade and sun-dried in the Moroccan countryside, making every piece unique in tone and texture.
Style Tip: Group pots in varying sizes and colors for a collected, gallery-like feel. Add a bold palm or soft olive tree to complete the look.
2. Artisan Glassware for Alfresco Moments
Summer entertaining in 2025 is all about slowing down and savoring. Whether it’s a spontaneous aperitif or a Sunday dinner that lingers into dusk, the table is where memories are made.
Our Moroccan glassware—crafted from recycled materials in traditional handblown techniques—is designed for these very moments. The soft curves and subtle colorways of our Palm Green and Coastal Blue collections capture the light like water. Dishwasher safe and sustainably made, they blend everyday functionality with a timeless elegance.
Design Note: Pair mismatched sets for a more relaxed, bohemian tablescape. Think: linen napkins, imperfect ceramics, and candles in glass hurricanes.
3. Textured Layers: From Rugs to Tabletops
One of the most prominent trends this summer is tactility—inviting textures that you can feel as much as see. Whether it’s a chunky woven wool rug or a handmade ceramic bowl, pieces that carry the imprint of the maker offer warmth and authenticity.
Our 100% wool Moroccan rugs, many of them vintage, bring a lived-in softness that balances even the most modern interiors. These pieces are hand-knotted in the Atlas Mountains, with each pattern telling a generational story. They're perfect for layering over natural wood floors or concrete surfaces to add depth and comfort.
Try This: Place a vintage runner in a hallway or kitchen to add a hint of global charm without overwhelming the space.
4. Indoor-Outdoor Living
Summer 2025 is blurring the lines between inside and out. Natural materials, breathable textures, and flexible pieces are key to creating that relaxed flow. At Voyage, our handpicked fountains, carved stone tables, and outdoor-safe planters help define these in-between spaces.
Our Moroccan tile fountains, available by appointment at our Bywater warehouse, are a favorite for courtyards, balconies, or garden walls. They bring the meditative sound of water and a striking visual focal point—both hallmarks of sanctuary living.
Pro Tip: Flank your fountain with low, leafy plants in our oversized urns to echo the layered gardens of Mediterranean villas.
5. Meaningful Collecting
The best trend of all? Embracing slow design. In a world of fast everything, this summer invites us to collect with intention—to choose pieces with heritage, sustainability, and craftsmanship at their core.
At Voyage, every object tells a story. From the hands that shaped a ceramic bowl in Fez, to the generations of weavers who bring wool to life in the High Atlas, we believe in preserving tradition and celebrating the art of the handmade. These are pieces that outlast trends, that move with you through seasons and spaces, and that root your home in meaning.
How to Shop the Summer Collection
Many of our pieces are one-of-a-kind or small-batch, available exclusively through our private warehouse appointments in the Bywater district of New Orleans. Whether you're searching for a singular statement piece or furnishing a full outdoor retreat, we invite you to explore our latest arrivals—from glassware and fountains to rare vintage rugs and carved furnishings.
