Wellness, warm colours, and sustainable design define the autumn trends of 2025. Slow living, retro elements, and home-spa concepts provide fresh inspiration for atmospheric product staging and encourage retailers to explore innovative products and materials.
Home Spa & Wellness – Retreats for Body and Mind
At the heart of the autumn trends is the growing need for peace and mindfulness. The focus is increasingly on wellness at home, with products that promote relaxation and recovery. Soft textures, high-quality materials, and calming colours transform the home into a feel-good oasis.
Home-spa products such as massage devices, face masks, or cosy loungewear offer great potential for retail. Complementary room accessories such as scented candles and essential oils create a warm, soothing atmosphere – fully in line with the slow living trend.

Scent, Light and Retro – Slow Living for All the Senses
Aromas, fragrances, and candles in autumn 2025 are more than decorative elements – they reflect a decelerated lifestyle. The trend towards slow living appears through multisensory experiences: warm lighting, pleasant scents, and natural materials foster emotional connections with products.
A particular highlight: the retro trend is experiencing a revival – for instance, in vintage-style lighting elements that combine nostalgia with modern expectations for sustainability and energy efficiency.

Sustainability in Focus: Responsible Materials
The trend toward sustainable consumption is also reflected in the materials used: natural resources, recyclable packaging, and long-lasting product designs are winning over environmentally conscious consumers. Especially in decoration and gift items, recycled fabrics and biodegradable materials are becoming increasingly established.
