A common theme in many of the trends that have been popping up in 2025 is escapism. This year, we have seen great advancements in technology as well as devastating headlines in the news. All of these events have caused us to want to escape the craziness happening on our screens and disappear to a calmer and cozier place.
Where minimalism and modernity once dominated the world of home decor, this year, countless people on TikTok have been tearing out their basic hardwood floor and putting wallpaper over their “millennial grey walls". The new home decor craze has been dubbed “châteaucore.” This interior design aesthetic combines a French château while tapping into the coziness of “farmcore” and “cottagecore.”
Châteaucore offers an escape from our fast-paced lives and forces us to slow down and romanticize our lives and the place in which we live. So rather than doom scrolling on your phone for hours on end, maybe in your châteaucore home, you will pick up a book or waltz with your significant other.
If châteaucore is still a foreign term to you, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We’ve put together a list of our favorite châteaucore decor for all areas of the home so that you don’t have to.

Your bedroom should be your personal sanctuary. Being in it should make you happy and bring you comfort. To château-ify your space, the first step should be to ditch your boring comforter or duvet for something with a little more style. Opting for bedding that is floral or toile patterned is the perfect way to incorporate this interior design style into your space. Additionally, ditching your solid colored walls for an eye-catching wallpaper will turn your room into one that Marie Antoinette may have envied.
Sticking to a neutral or a pastel color palette while relying heavily on patterns and eclectic decor is the easiest way to turn your room into a château.
The kitchen is the best place to play around with châteaucore-inspired decor. You can start small with switching out your otherwise boring dinner plates and silverware for plates with a toile pattern and extravagant, gold silverware. Additionally, if you do not have the budget to turn your kitchen into a French oasis, having eclectic containers or utensil holders with châteaucore colors and patterns can add the perfect touch to your space.
If you do have the budget to renovate your kitchen, adding elegant chandeliers and maybe even a gold swan faucet can be enough to transform your kitchen.
If you and your family spend most of your time in the living room, then chances are that it will be the space you pay the most attention to when redecorating. We have decorative suggestions to turn your living room into a châteaucore dream, from light fixtures to ruffled couches to cheap prints on Amazon. Transforming your space does not mean you have to spend tons of money; however, if you would like to, that's great!
