As we look toward the year ahead, Pinterest’s annual trend report (Pinterest Predicts) offers an intriguing glimpse into the styles and themes that will shape our homes and wardrobes. The company notes that its report has an 80% accuracy rate for spotting emerging trends and draws on data from more than 500 million users. One of the standout themes in the 2025 edition is “Cherry Coded,” a celebration of all things red.
According to Pinterest, red is having a serious moment right now. Gen Z and millennials are embracing saturated reds in their makeup palettes, outfits and decor. Search interest for phrases like “cherry vibe” has jumped 325 %, while searches for “cherry bedroom” are up 100 %. It’s clear that people are ready to move beyond neutrals and take a bolder approach to colour.
If you want to infuse your life with the cherry‑coded aesthetic, start small. Consider adding red throw pillows, rugs or curtains to your living space. In the kitchen, a set of crimson mugs or a vintage red kettle adds a pop of colour without overwhelming the room. Fashion lovers can play with cherry‑toned accessories—think a pair of red shoes, a statement handbag or a swipe of ruby lipstick. Even event decor can benefit from this trend: red taper candles, glassware and napkins bring warmth and energy to a table setting.
Cherry Coded is part of a larger move away from minimalist, pared‑back decor toward a more playful, eclectic approach. By embracing bold colour and maximalist patterns, you can create spaces that feel joyful and personal. Whether you commit fully to a cherry‑red room or simply sprinkle hints of crimson throughout your home and wardrobe, this Pinterest trend offers plenty of ways to make 2025 your most colourful year yet.
