Interior Design Trends to Refresh Your Home This Year
Interior design is ever evolving with a focus on comfort, sustainability, and personal expression. Here are some key trends for 2026 to consider when updating your space:
Warm, Earthy Colors
This year, warm tones inspired by nature are gaining popularity. Think terracotta, olive green, soft browns, and muted yellows. These colors create a cozy atmosphere and pair well with natural materials like wood and stone. Don't choose that tone-deaf Pantone cloud dancer white color that is overplayed and used too frequently. Instead:
Use terracotta-colored cushions or rugs to add warmth.
Combine earthy tones with neutral shades to keep the room balanced.
Ensure to use colors that ground you and make you feel stable. Your home is about you after all.
Sustainable and Natural Materials
More homeowners are choosing eco-friendly materials that bring texture and authenticity to interiors. Bamboo, rattan, cork, and reclaimed wood are excellent choices for furniture and decor.
A rattan chair can add a casual, beachy vibe.
Cork bulletin boards or coasters bring subtle texture. Look for additional decor pieces that bring in nature and warmth.
Reclaimed wood shelves offer character and reduce waste. Think about repurposing a piece by reupholstering or giving it a different stain. Well made pieces can last forever.
Biophilic Design
Bringing nature indoors improves mood and air quality. Plants, natural light, and organic shapes are central to this trend.
Place large leafy plants near windows.
Choose furniture with curved edges to mimic natural forms.
Use sheer curtains to let in soft, natural light.
Practical Tips to Start Your Interior Refresh
Begin with one room or area to avoid overwhelm. JUST ONE!
Choose a color palette that reflects your personality.
Mix new pieces with existing favorites for a curated look.
Prioritize comfort and functionality alongside style.
