Top Interior Trends for 2026

As we step into 2026, the world of interiors is embracing a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and contemporary creativity. From calming blues to sculptural furniture, this year’s trends are all about creating spaces that feel personal, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. 

Comfort & Lived in Spaces 

This year our homes are moving away from pristine perfection and minimalism and embracing comfort-led interior spaces. A home should be a place of warmth, happiness, and comfort and by creating cosy spaces we are creating a welcoming and inviting feeling. Decorate with warm hues, layer your rooms with throws and cushions for added texture and comfort and use decorative wall art to add interest and personality.

Blue continues to reign as a key colour for 2026, celebrated for its ability to evoke calmness and creativity. Whether it’s a deep navy, teal or a soft sky blue, this versatile hue works beautifully across furniture and accessories.  

If you don’t fancy colour drenching your space in blue, then opt for soft furnishings to bring your interior space to life, a blue cushion cover or blue chair can easily transform a room. 

The Verona blue vase is a perfect example, adding a pop of colour to any room while maintaining a serene aesthetic.

The charm of vintage-inspired interiors is making a strong comeback, which also ties in with the lived-in spaces trend. Think nostalgic items, curated objects with character and personality, where every piece tells a story. Lean into this trend by mixing modern décor with antique finds or vintage-inspired pieces like the Cali bird ornament or rustic Corsino vase. Create warm and effective lighting with a vintage style glass pendant light like the Rosehill

In 2026, interiors are embracing the beauty of natural materials and textures. From mango wood side tables like the Valdis, to the Paloma sideboard, these pieces bring warmth and authenticity to your home.
