What your house (and home) will be like next year
The year 2026 will be full of new trends for interior design. After years of extreme minimalism and neutral spaces, the prevailing trend is now a balance between warmth, personality, comfort, and a hint at nature. The big interior design magazines are already suggesting that many of the latest trends are not seeking to stand out for their “sparkle”, but for authenticity, texture, versatility, and well-being. Here are ten of the most interesting trends to keep in mind—perfect if you’re thinking about redecorating or just looking for inspiration.
