This episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the style squad trades closet space for living space and dives headfirst into the Spring/Summer 2025 home décor trends, complete with a healthy dose of color confusion, couch commentary, and the occasional design debate.
In the “In the News” segment, Bec bends our brains with the story of Olo — a brand-new, never-before-seen color discovered by scientists at UC Berkeley. Imagine a teal so saturated and intense that it literally doesn’t exist in the natural world… unless lasers are involved. Yes, lasers. It’s basically Schrödinger’s color, and we are absolutely living for it. Is it teal? Is it science fiction? We don’t know — but we want to paint with it anyway.
After picking our jaws off the floor, the team swaps fashion for furniture and reveals whether their interior design vibes match their personal style. Are your throw pillows as bold as your blazer? Does your paint palette reflect your color blocking skills? Or are you all monochrome minimalism at home but a maximalist queen when you dress? We spill the tea.
Then it's onto the 2025 décor trends making waves across Pinterest boards and home stores alike. From color drenchingentire rooms in saturated shades, to embracing eco-friendly design with materials like vegan leather and sustainable woods, this year’s home aesthetic is all about personality and purpose. Vintage pieces are making a triumphant return — but with a modern remix — while indoor-outdoor flow is trending hard, turning patios into sanctuaries and living rooms into lush, plant-filled hideaways.
We also chat about:
Creating a home that feels like a wellness retreat (even if you live in a tiny apartment)
The difference between curated and cluttered
How to decorate without falling into “fast furniture” traps
And why your home doesn’t need to match your outfit, but it should make you feel as good as your favorite jeans
So, whether you're reimagining your living room, plotting your next home update, or just trying to wrap your head around what Olo even feels like, this episode is your playful peek into how personal style translates from wardrobe to wall paint — and everything in between.
Happy listening, and as always —
Happy styling!
