As the new year approaches, we’re reviewing the latest in the world of interiors. Since we don’t change our homes yearly to follow trends, it’s interesting to note that comforting colors, understated designs and exploring your personal vision are always in style. These ideas are actually quite timeless, and here are some interior design ideas to explore for 2026:

One clear message is that blue will be the standout color for 2026. Blue has never really gone out of style, but darker blues are making a comeback. . Benjamin Moore is showcasing colors like Blue Danube, Palladian Blue and Ocean Air. We’re also seeing more teal shades from various paint brands. If you think this feels outdated, contact me for stylish ways to incorporate these colors.

Overall, interiors are becoming more understated. Instead of colorful and busy rooms, we’re noticing more neutral tones and simpler designs. Fabrics are less flashy, with a focus on softness and warmth through texture. This style is seen in the use of natural materials, plain upholstery in soft tones, modern furniture with clean lines, and selected antiques with unique shapes.

Texture plays a key role in creating a cozy interior. Simple, beautiful woven fabrics—both antique and modern—are being used in creative ways like wall hangings or cushions. Designers look to focus on combining hand-dyed linens with traditional pieces in their work. This movement also embraces small accessories with beautiful European inspired influences.

Many ideas for 2026 lean towards a modern look, moving away from traditional styles. There’s a growing interest in whimsical and surrealistic pieces that evoke the creativity of the early 20th century. I’ve noticed a lot of work influenced by Art Deco set design and artists such as Salvador Dali, showcasing fun designs like chairs shaped like people, bird-like lamps, and fish-shaped bottle openers.
