🎨 May 2026 Interior Colour Trends 🏡 Thinking about refreshing your home this spring? These are the interior colour directions shaping homes in 2026:
1. Soft warm whites
Clean whites are still relevant, but the mood has shifted towards softer, warmer tones. Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year, Cloud Dancer, reflects that move towards calm, gentle neutrals that make interiors feel lighter and more settled.
2. Soulful blues
Blue is a major story for 2026. Dulux has centred its 2026 forecast around a family of indigo-based blues, including Free Groove™, Mellow Flow™ and Slow Swing™, bringing depth, balance and a more grounded feel to interiors.
3. Earthy browns and caramel tones
Warm browns, clay shades and caramel-inspired neutrals are continuing strongly into 2026. These colours add comfort, warmth and a sense of permanence, which is why they are showing up more in living spaces and bedrooms.
4. Rich greens
Greens remain strong, but the cooler tones are giving way to warmer, more herbal shades such as moss, eucalyptus and laurel. These colours help bring a more natural, grounded atmosphere into the home.
5. Burgundy, honey and muted yellow accents
2026 is also seeing more confidence with colour. Little Greene’s 2026 forecast points to burgundy, warm honey tones, muted yellows, deeper caramel hues, and warmer reds and pinks becoming more popular in the home.
Whether you are updating your current home or looking for a new property, colour plays a big part in how a space feels day to day.
