The homeware collab of dreams: Pinterest and Penneys launch new ways to shop trend-inspired collection

For the first time ever, Penneys is officially launching a Pinterest-inspired new spring home collection. As new research reveals a lack of money (53%) and a lack of time (33%) are some of the biggest challenges when it comes to redecorating, Pinterest and Penneys are partnering to make it easier than ever to design and transform your space with stylish, budget-friendly pieces.

The new collection, launching in Penneys stores, is inspired by Pinterest search data and features products from spring floral crockery, to soft pink frill bedding. The three hottest trends that have informed the collections are - Cosy Cottage, Minamaluxe and Dainty Décor.

To style the new Pinterest-inspired collection before they buy it, people can head to Pinterest and use Collages - an interactive tool to pull together their vision, using cutouts of products from the Penneys range. Shoppers can then bring their inspiration to life in store, picking up their favourite pieces throughout March.

Here’s what Pinterest and Penneys predict will be trending for Spring and are in the collections:

Cosy Cottage is your go-to collection for whimsy, charm and romance. This nostalgic trend mixes timeless patterns and playful motifs for a fresh, modern look. Watch your room bloom with wild primroses, ladybirds, florals, soft pastels and frills to your heart's desire. And don't forget a dash of butter yellow: this season's most charming colour. Inspired by rising Pinterest UK and Ireland searches for ‘cosy cottage bedroom’ (+170%), ‘modern cottage living room’ (+100%) and ‘floral’ (+40%).

Minamaluxe is all about sophistication through simplicity—think soft textures, earth tones, creamy neutrals and browns. Make it a whole mood with elevated tabletop decor and home fragrances that make you swoon. The result? A space that feels special, not fussy. This trend has emerged as searches on Pinterest UK and Ireland have increased for ‘earthy colour palette’ (+120%), ‘minimalist small bathrooms’ (+70%) and ‘luxury living room’ (+115%).

Dainty Décor is the playful, flirty, and unapologetically feminine aesthetic that’s making waves in both fashion and interiors. Own your soft side and go all in with frills, ruffles, pink tones, petite florals, hearts, cherries—and, of course, bows! Meet the perfect way to give your bedroom or bathroom a dreamy, romantic refresh. There’s lots of love for this trend on Pinterest UK and Ireland as people are seeking inspiration for a ‘whimsical bedroom’ (+130%), ‘girly bathroom’ (+95%) and ‘pink bow’ +160%.

The three trends reflect how Pinterest users who are engaging with home decor content seek interior inspiration which feels personal. Interest continues to grow with a third of ROI adults aged 18 - 44 (33%) expecting to spend money on refreshing their home each month and one in 10 considering it more important to do so than buying a new car. However, they're spending cautiously. Penneys’ Pinterest-inspired range offers interior-enthusiasts endless choice and quality at affordable prices, helping to make your dream space a reality.

Sinead McDonagh, Head of Design at Penneys shares tips on how to bring these trends to life through the new product range:

“Pinterest is where so many of us go for home inspiration, but sometimes turning those saved Pins into reality isn’t always easy, especially on a budget. That’s why at Penneys, we’re committed to making trend-led interiors affordable and effortless. Whether you prefer a minimalist vibe or playful patterns, here’s how to bring the latest trends into your space without breaking the bank.”

• Find Your Style: Some love bold, statement looks, while others prefer a more pared-back aesthetic. If you’re leaning towards minimalist, start with creamy neutral tones as your base, then layer in soft textiles, rich wood finishes, and warm lighting to create a timeless space you can build on season after season.

• Elevate the Everyday: Small homeware swaps can make a big impact. Nostalgic ceramics like our primrose and ladybug tableware instantly add charm to your dining setup, while bows, frills, and delicate florals bring a touch of romance to any corner of your home.

• Make It Personal: Great design isn’t just about trends, it’s about creating a home that feels like you. Pick pieces that bring you joy, mix and match styles, and most importantly, have fun making your space your own.

Heather Clark, Head of Retail at Pinterest UK and Ireland says: “Inspiration has a new home. Spoiler, it can be yours. We’re so excited to have inspired Penneys’ new range with the trends on our platform - Cosy Cottage, Minamaluxe, and Dainty Decor. We’ve seen searches rise for pastel palettes, an understated luxury aesthetic and darling furnishings and with new ways to shop Penneys trend-certified home range, it’s now even easier to bring this inspiration to life. We can’t wait to see these trends in your home this Spring.”
