Bouclé is a fabric that may have overstayed its welcome. And that's just in the world of design. Read on for what's in and out in food & wine, travel, and gardening. Photo by Mumin/Getty Images.
It's a new year; a time for change and a time for trying new things while leaving behind that which isn't serving us any longer. In that spirit, we've taken a look at some design trends that have had their moment and which we predict we'll see less of in 2025. We've also peered into the future (with some expert guidance) and tried to get an idea of what will be big—not just in the world of design (although we did take a deep dive into color trends) but also in our gardens, on our plates, and in our travel plans. Curious what's in and what's out for the coming year? Read on below for our predictions.
