3 Fashionable Interiour Looks to Try in 2026

The world of fashionable interior design is constantly evolving and changing. If you feel that your home needs a refresh in the new year, you should consider the latest trends. In 2026, there will be a clear shift away from stark minimalism and cool grey tones toward warmth, texture, personality, and comfort. The colour of the year is also always worth being aware of, and mocha has been chosen as the colour of 2025, and Cloud Dancer for 2026. This post will explore three fashionable interior looks you can try in 2026 to elevate your home.

Earthy Warmth & Tactile Texture are Fashionable Interior Looks

This interior design style replaces cold whites and greys with a rich, grounded palette that is inspired by nature and clay, with a focus on materials that you want to reach out and touch. Think cosy, grounded, and rustic-meets-refined with an emphasis on comfort and natural materials.

The colour palette for this style involves terracotta, rust, caramel, olive green, rich browns, and creamy off-whites. Cool neutrals are replaced by taupes and beiges with yellow or ochre undertones. Materials include woven materials like rattan, wicker, and fluted/ribbed wood surfaces. Look for tactile finishes like limewash, plaster, or stone on walls and accent furniture. To achieve the look in your new home, Layer textiles in wool, slub linen, and faux fur. Introduce vintage or hand-thrown ceramic pieces and organic, rounded furniture silhouettes.

Curated Maximalism (The Personal Gallery)

Curated maximalism is a move toward expressing personality through decoration, but with intention. It’s about collecting meaningful pieces, not clutter. Every item tells a story to achieve a look that is layered, expressive, and eclectic. Focal points include bold, vibrant textures, meaningful art, and statement lighting fixtures that are almost sculptural.

For colour and pattern, mix rich colours like deep emerald green with cobalt blue or merlot tones and patterns. Bird motifs and playful geometry (like stripes) are popular accents. To achieve the look, start with one dramatic element, like a patterned rug or feature wall, and build around it. Mix modern, clean-lined pieces with vintage, heirloom, or thrifted finds to give the room history and depth.

Biophilic Design & Wellness Focus

Finally, biophilic design and wellness integrate nature and functionality to create spaces that actively support mental and physical health. It is a calming, fresh, and restorative style that blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. Prioritise natural light, maximise views, and heavily incorporate indoor plants and botanical decoration.

Functional comfort is key with furniture and spaces designed for flexibility and superior ergonomics. The use of curved furniture is still key for a soft, calming aesthetic. To achieve the look, use natural materials like wood and stone. Implement layered lighting (ambient, task, and accent lighting) with dimmers or smart systems to mimic natural daylight cycles and support relaxation. Introduce soundscapes or dedicated quiet areas.

If you are looking to refresh your home in 2026, these are the trending styles that will elevate your space. We are, but it is a journey!
