Fall is here, and with it comes the season of rich colors, cozy gatherings, and nostalgic traditions. Pinterest’s 2025 Fall Trend Report reveals a shift toward sustainable living, handmade touches, and comfort-driven creativity. These themes don’t just belong online—they deserve a place in your story.
At Printerpix, we believe photobooks are the perfect way to turn digital inspiration into tangible keepsakes. Below, explore the top Pinterest fall trends and discover how to transform them into timeless photobook projects, complete with design advice and storytelling prompts.
Cozy Heritage Revival
One of the strongest currents this fall is what Pinterest calls “granny core”—a revival of vintage craft traditions, patchwork quilts, hand-knit sweaters, and heirloom-inspired décor. Far from old-fashioned, these elements are being rediscovered as comforting, stylish, and deeply personal.
Storytelling idea: Create a Family Craft Chronicle. Dedicate each spread to a maker in your family—a grandmother’s quilt, a parent’s embroidery, a child’s first attempt at crochet. Pair photos of the person with close-ups of their work. Add captions that explain when the tradition began and who passed it down.
Design move: Choose warm, earthy backgrounds in caramel, rust, and coffee tones. Add subtle patterns inspired by fabric swatches—gingham, florals, and stitched blocks. Frame images in soft edges that mimic the feel of cloth.
Tip: Some of our all-time favorite themes like vintage and family joy hit the trend just right.
Journaling Returns in Modern Form
Journaling and scrapbooking are back in vogue, fueled by a mix of tactile creativity and digital polish. Pinterest reports a surge in “scrapbook aesthetic,” with people combining handwriting, collage, stickers, and digital graphics.
Storytelling idea: Build a Year in the Margins Album. Dedicate each month not just to photos, but also little notes, scanned recipe cards, ticket stubs, and doodles. Write short reflections: “Today I learned,” “This made us laugh,” “We’ll never forget this.”
Design move: Use textured backgrounds that look like notebook paper. Incorporate frames that resemble tape or sticky notes. Keep captions short and handwritten in style fonts to preserve the raw, honest feel.
Tip: Customize your scrapbook-inspired photo book using square travel photo theme or the elegant white theme and relive the nostalgia.
Kitschy Kitchen Joy
Food is always central in fall, but this year Pinterest shows a twist: mini bakes, playful decorating, and retro kitchen tools. Think tiny cakes, decorated focaccia, colorful ceramics, and whimsical presentation.
Storytelling idea: Design a Tiny Treats Cookbook Photobook. Photograph each bake or dish, from mixing bowl to finished product. Pair with short notes like “Made on a rainy Saturday” or “Grandpa’s secret cinnamon swirl.” Invite kids to add their own drawings or one-line reviews.
Design move: Embrace bold patterns like checkerboard, polka dots, and retro typography. Use full-bleed food photography on one page, paired with step-by-step images on the other. Bright yellows, reds, and pastel blues echo the playful energy of the trend.
Tip: Designing your cookbook using the full-page photo book theme or panoramic theme takes you right back to that “Ratatouille Moment” where you can feel and savor your nana’s freshly baked pot pie straight from the oven.
Backyard Escapes and Slow Days
Pinterest highlights a turn toward local adventures and cozy at-home escapes rather than faraway travel. Bonfire nights, apple picking, backyard camping, and pumpkin patch visits are trending. People want to savor the small things close to home.
Storytelling idea: Create an At Home Fall Album. Dedicate chapters to “Evenings by the Fire,” “Harvest Adventures,” and “Leafy Walks.” End each chapter with a gratitude page where family members write what they were thankful for that week.
Design move: Use warm film-like filters and nostalgic tones like latte beige and matcha green. Keep layouts relaxed: one hero image per spread with handwritten captions.
Tip: Stepping out of bed on a lazy weekend and catching the next train 30 minutes away to find your favorite getaway spot will feel more rewarding on these cold, snowy, winter-struck days with a hot cup of cocoa, freshly baked cinnamon rolls, and a wanderlust theme photo book by your side to relive your golden hour moments. Ooh…the outdoor adventure theme is a fine fit too.
Caffeine Inspired Color Palettes
Coffeehouse aesthetics are defining Fall 2025 colorways. Pinterest shows latte beige, caramel, coffee brown, and matcha green taking over fashion and interiors. These tones are warm, grounding, and endlessly versatile.
Storytelling idea: Use these palettes in a Wedding Day or Engagement Album. Let coffee and cream tones dominate the ceremony spreads, while adding matcha or sage accents to candid reception photos.
Design move: Try asymmetrical layouts. Place a full-bleed image on the left page and balance it with a caramel color block and text on the right. This keeps spreads clean, stylish, and timeless.
Tip: Live your special day every day with a photo book that makes you blush each time you see those pictures, just like you blush seeing him or her. Gift yourself an acrylic cover photo book and add that touch of special spark with the black & gold theme or photo book maker for weddings theme.
Vintage and Preppy Revival
Pinterest notes that vintage watches, preppy style, and collegiate aesthetics are resurging. Think varsity jackets, plaid skirts, and accessories that nod to heritage.
Storytelling idea: Craft an Heirlooms and Hallways Album. Begin with family heirlooms like a vintage watch, then move into black-and-white scans of old family photos. End with modern portraits styled in collegiate looks to create a then-and-now conversation.
Design move: Use title cards with serif fonts and striped motifs. Anchor each chapter with date headers that give a sense of timeline.
Tip: Fear not, we have exactly what you need. Select your photobook type (preferably, a luxury layflat—you’ll see why) and opt for Modern photo book theme or the travel memento theme to see your picture-perfect moments living in a sleek, vintage book style.
Why Trends Matter in Photobooks
You may wonder: why should a seasonal Pinterest trend guide your photobook? Trends are cultural signals. They show what colors, moods, and aesthetics are resonating right now. By blending these into your photobooks, you create keepsakes that feel not only timeless but also rooted in the year they were made.
Trends also spark creativity. If you feel overwhelmed about where to start, a seasonal theme provides the perfect framework. Instead of staring at hundreds of photos, you can group them by trend story: Cozy Heritage, Journaling, Kitschy Kitchen, and more.
Most importantly, aligning your photobooks with trends gives them resonance across generations. Twenty years from now, flipping through a 2025 photobook styled with latte beige backgrounds and granny-core patterns will bring back not just memories but the atmosphere of the time.
