7 Outdated Patio Décor Trends You Should Skip—and What to Try Instead

Rustic Farmhouse

The shiplap craze of 2018 resulted in over 7.7 million searches for "rustic items" that year. In 2025, the aesthetic remains popular with searches for "modern farmhouse décor" spiking nearly 3,500 percent in the last three months of this year compared to the same time last year. Offering a new take on the trend, "France cottage décor" is also one of Etsy’s top-searched terms this year, up over 26,000 percent. Think dried flower bundles, chandeliers, and blue-and-white toile.

Y2K

Y2K had a major moment on Etsy in its early years, with searches for the term surging between 2012 and 2013. And it's making another return this year. The online marketplace has seen an over 250 percent increase in searches for "Y2K Décor," with custom neon signs being Etsy’s most favorited item ever. Pop culture mementos, skateboards, and photo collages round out the collection of 2000s nostalgia found on the site.

Boho Boom

Etsy was once the unofficial resource for festival style and boho vibes, with sales for "flower crowns" up 190 percent from 2010 to 2014. The look is back, with searches for "boho macrame" décor up almost 400 percent this year as compared to last. Handmade textured statement pieces made with intricate knotting and wooden beads are popular wall décor options right now, along with elaborately designed dreamcatchers and plant hangers that harken back to an earthy 70s aesthetic.
