2025 Classroom Decor Style Trends

Cottage Core

Cottage core is a cozy, nostalgic aesthetic that celebrates the charm of rural life—think soft florals, vintage touches, and the calming beauty of nature. It’s all about slowing down, soaking in simple joys, and creating a dreamy, peaceful atmosphere. If you're drawn to pastel colors, gingham prints, floral details, and sweet little accents like geese, swans, and butterflies, cottage core might just be your classroom soulmate!

Our Pretty in Pastel collection is the core of this trend! With delicate flowers, ginghams, and a soft, dreamy pastel color palette, this collection transforms your space into an escape. From cozy reading corners to serene learning nooks, it’s designed to bring calm, creativity, and a little bit of magic to your day. It's the perfect way to invite your students to breathe deep, open a book, and stay awhile!

Coquette 

Say hello to the coquette trend—a dreamy blend of vintage-inspired aesthetics like romantic charm, delicate details, classic plaids, and playful elegance—think bows, lace, and main character energy!

Our Books and Bows collection is the coquette trend’s classroom soulmate! With its timeless black-and-white palette, delicate bows, and vintage literary accents, this collection brings all the coquette vibes into your space with an academic twist. Whether you’re creating a cozy book nook, a refined reading corner, or a full-on English classroom transformation, Books and Bows understood the assignment. It’s the perfect blend of elegance, intellect, and style—because your classroom deserves to be as chic and charming as you are!

School Supplies

This one’s for the retro-lovers and the notebook-core crew. The school supplies as a decor trend is taking over—and we’re here for it! Crayons, pencils, composition notebooks—these classic icons and more are being reimagined as colorful, nostalgic, super-fun design elements!

Our School Days collection captures this trend perfectly with a bright rainbow color palette and vintage-inspired school supply vibes that bring all the fun of the first day of school—every day!

Book Club 

The book club trend is so back—and honestly, we never thought it went out of style! Thanks to BookTok, local book clubs, and the collective obsession with all things literary, reading has become a full-blown aesthetic. And what better place to embrace the book-loving lifestyle than the classroom? 

Our Pastel Pages collection brings the book club trend to life with cozy, vintage-inspired library details and a fun boho pastel palette that sets the perfect mood for reading. With classic book stacks, old-school library cards, and calming, storybook-inspired colors, this collection transforms your space into the coziest reading nook—where students can curl up, get lost in a good book, and feel right at home.
