9 Unsaturated Etsy Trends to Sell in 2025

Hey there savvy Etsy Seller! 

Let’s talk about something that could completely change how you approach your Etsy shop in 2025. You know that feeling when you’re scrolling through Etsy, and everything starts looking the same? Well, we’ve discovered 9 trends that are blowing up everywhere except Etsy – and that’s exactly why you need to know about them.

Here’s what makes these 9 trends special: we didn’t find them by looking at what’s already selling on Etsy. Instead, we looked outside the platform to spot what’s next. Ready to be ahead of the curve? Let’s dig in.

1. Rounded Corners Are Having Their Moment

Picture this: you search for frames on Etsy right now, and what do you see? Sharp corners. Lots of them. But step into any Anthropologie or scroll through Pinterest, and it’s all soft, rounded edges. This gap? That’s your opportunity. Whether you’re creating digital downloads or crafting physical products, those gentle curves could make your listings stand out in a sea of squares.

2. Squiggles and Scallops (But Not Like You Think)

Remember last spring’s wave trend? It’s evolved into something more sophisticated. We’re seeing playful squiggles and scalloped edges showing up on everything from wallpaper borders to ribbon edges. The best part? On Etsy, this trend is still wide open for someone (hint: you) to do it right.

3. Pleats, Please

Listen, pleating isn’t just for skirts anymore. We’re spotting it on lampshades, chair skirts, and even as decorative elements in graphic design. If you’re selling digital products, imagine incorporating pleated textures into your designs. Selling physical goods? Those pleated details could be your secret weapon.

4. Fringe Benefits

Forget everything you know about fringe – this isn’t your grandmother’s tassel trim. Today’s fringe is showing up in unexpected places: delicate thread details in jewelry, feathered edges on modern towels, even subtle accents on furniture pieces. The key? Keep it refined and intentional.

5. Structural Bows Are the New Black

This isn’t about slapping a bow print on something and calling it a day. We’re talking about bows as actual functional elements – think bow-shaped handles on serving sets or structural bow elements that transform ordinary objects into something special. When we checked Etsy, we mostly found basic bow prints – meaning there’s room for your creative take on this trend.

6. Green Gets Bold

While everyone else is still playing it safe with sage green, the rest of the design world is going bold. We’re seeing vibrant, confident greens taking center stage – not just as accents, but as the main event. Your move? Consider making these bolder greens the star of your next collection.

7. Florals That Tell a Story

Forget basic flower patterns. The new floral trend is like a treasure hunt – look closely and you’ll find hidden mushrooms, tiny animals, and whimsical details woven throughout. On Etsy, we’re still seeing a lot of isolated, repetitive flower patterns. Your opportunity? Create rich, narrative-driven designs that reward closer inspection.

8. Scenes That Make You Stop Scrolling

Single landscapes are out; full scenes that tell a story are in. Think of it like a page from a storybook – but reimagined for modern tastes. Whether you’re creating wall art or stationery, adding narrative elements to your designs could help them stand out from the usual suspects.

9. The Mini Movement

There’s something irresistible about miniature versions of everyday items. We’re not talking about dollhouse furniture – these are functional, just tiny and perfect. From mini planters to compact beauty tools, people can’t get enough of these scaled-down treasures. And the current offerings on Etsy? Let’s just say there’s plenty of room for improvement.

What This Means for Your Shop

Here’s the thing – you don’t need to completely overhaul your shop to tap into these trends. Start small. Pick one trend that resonates with your style and experiment with it. The goal isn’t to copy what’s out there but to bring your unique spin to these emerging trends.

FAQ

Q: I only sell digital products – can I still use these trends?

A: Absolutely! Take the rounded corners trend – you could create templates, borders, or design elements that incorporate soft curves. Or consider developing a collection of scene-based illustrations. Digital products are actually perfect for testing new trends without a huge inventory investment.

Q: What if these trends don’t fit my current aesthetic?

A: Start subtle. If you make jewelry, maybe try adding just one piece with a structural bow element. Sell prints? Test out a bolder green in your next collection. It’s about finding ways to incorporate these trends that feel authentic to your brand.

Q: How quickly should I jump on these trends?

A: The beauty of these trends is that they’re still unsaturated on Etsy. Take the time to do them well rather than rushing to be first. Quality execution will always win over quick implementation.
