In particular, Abbott said the Trilite LED Lamps are a
" must-have " for every retailer.
" The sell-through is phenomenal, and they add a
touch of modern elegance to any space, " she said.
ECLECTIC & VINTAGE
In an age where individuality is embraced across
every aspect of retail, it's no surprise that eclectic
home décor is in high demand.
According to Erin Everhart, creative department
manager of CTW Home Collection, eclectic décor
" combines a variety of textures, bold statement pieces
and a harmonious blend of vintage and contemporary
pieces. This trend reflects a curated and personalized
space that tells a unique story. "
Key to achieving the eclectic style includes mixing
design styles and eras, embracing personal expression
and color, and unexpected pairings. The eclectic

perspectives on current trends. By leveraging our
diverse backgrounds and preferences, we design
and curate offerings that embody an eclectic style, "
Everhart said. " We love it when pieces work together
and don't have to match perfectly. Our offerings tell
the unique story of the people that work at CTW,
reflecting their individuality and creativity. "
In a similar vein, vintage-inspired or bold wallpaper
has made a comeback in home décor. It is often used
to create a bold accent wall that brings personality
into a home. Ragon House identified this trend and is
incorporating this into its upcoming collections.

too seriously as the aesthetic is inherently creative,
experimental and playful.
" There's been a resurgence of interest in wallpaper,
especially vintage designs, large-scale murals and
folk designs, " Ragon said. " We have some furniture
pieces coming that have vintage wallpaper on the back
interior. We also have some beautiful artwork with a
vintage wallpaper background. "
BOTANICALS & MUSHROOMS
Botanicals continue to soar in home décor and giftware,
according to both Ragon House and Abbott. Both
wholesalers cite a high demand for such patterns yearround,
and the trend isn't slowing down anytime soon.
" People are loving the natural feel that faux flowers
and botanical patterns bring to a space, and we're
seeing significant increases in searches on our website
and sales, " Abbott said. " In our fast-paced digital
world, everyone seems to be craving a bit of nature
and calm at home. Botanical designs add a splash
of happiness and color that can transform a space.
Consumers are all about those natural, garden-inspired
looks that never go out of style. "
Abbott's new 2025 collection abounds with
botanicals, from lifelike hydrangea bunches to handstamped
patterns on table linens and pillows. Outside
of its new collection, a tried-and-true bestseller for the
wholesaler is its Goddess Head Planter.
" We've carried these for several years, and they
remain a top seller, " Abbott said. " Perfect for plants or
floral arrangements, some customers even dress them
up with faux pearls and a little lipstick for extra charm. "
When it comes to iconography, mushrooms remain
in the spotlight. The trend dominated retail last year -
although some argue that the trend began even earlier,
Abbott said - and are still popular among consumers.
Through the years, however, the mushroom
illustrations and products have evolved to align with
the décor styles of the moment.
Moody Academia is a trending décor
style, according to Ragon House.
