A new year means new design inspiration — and 2026 is delivering in a big way. Whether you’re refreshing one room or giving your whole home a small reset, these trends will help you start the year feeling updated, grounded, and totally on-trend.
Bring On the 2026 Colours
Colour is stepping into the spotlight this year, and Benjamin Moore’s 2026 Colours of the Year are leading the way. Their palette leans into rich, nature-inspired hues — think deep, expressive greens and soft, calming earth tones. These shades bring warmth without feeling heavy, and they pair beautifully with natural wood, vintage pieces, and modern silhouettes.
If you’re not ready to repaint your entire living room, try:
- A bold green on your front door
- A softer tone on bedroom walls for a cozy reset
- A pop of colour on built-ins or shelving
Small areas can make a big impact.
Textures That Add Depth
2026 interiors are all about inviting texture. Soft, tactile fabrics (boucle, linen, velvet), woven rugs, raw wood, and brushed metals help your space feel layered instead of flat. Even in a historic home, these elements blend seamlessly with existing details — they add comfort without overshadowing original character.
Spaces Designed for Real Life
Furniture this year focuses on flexibility: modular sectionals, multi-purpose pieces, and designs that work with smaller spaces or evolving needs. Think “practical luxury” — pieces you’ll actually use every day, not just admire from across the room.
A Natural Touch
Nature continues to be a grounding theme. Sculptural plants, stone accents, and warm terracotta tones help soften modern spaces and complement older ones. Pairing natural elements with the new BM colours creates harmony that feels fresh but timeless.
The Bottom Line
2026 is all about creating a home that feels like you — comfortable, functional, and full of personality. A few colour updates, thoughtful textures, and natural elements can completely refresh your space without starting from scratch.
Until next time,
