🏡 2026 design trends we’re seeing everywhere… and what we think is coming in 2027 👀
2026 has officially said goodbye to the cold, overly-minimal, “everything must match” look. We’re seeing homes become warmer, more layered and a LOT more personal.
✨ What’s trending in 2026:
• Warm earthy tones replacing cool gray
• Brown, walnut + natural wood
• Curved furniture + softer architectural details
• Layered textures and tactile materials
• Vintage + antique pieces mixed with modern
• Sculptural lighting
• More color and personality
• Homes that actually look lived in
And looking ahead to 2027…
🔮 We’re expecting even more of:
• Richer, moodier colors . . . think chocolate brown, aubergine, deep greens
• Color-drenched rooms, including ceilings + trim
• Statement stone with lots of natural movement
• Burl wood, grasscloth + other traditional materials
• Custom drapery, trims and upholstery
• “Analog” spaces. . . reading nooks, game rooms and places to unplug
• Kitchens that feel more like living spaces
• Mixing design eras instead of buying everything from the same collection
• More collected, one-of-a-kind interiors
Basically… less “showroom,” more “this house has a story.”
And honestly? We’re here for it. 🤎
