Our favourite 2026 interior design trends
New year, new interior trends! If a room revamp is top of your resolutions list come January, you’re in the right place. We’ve always got one eye on the next big thing in furniture – that’s why we’ve compiled some of the 2026 interior design trends you’ll love below. Read on to discover our favourite upcoming interior design excitements and how you can make them work in your home.
Colour of the year – bold and blue!
The colour of the year nominations are in – and blue is a stand-out favourite. 2026 colour trends will be dominated by bright, bold, and beautiful blues, from muted duck egg to Dulux’s not one, not two, but three blue colour of the year choices! Sounds like it’s time to add a splash of cerulean to your dull decor…
How to boost your room with blue
Ready for a touch of teal in your space? Read on for three ways to keep up with 2026 colour trends in three different styles.
1. For the colourful maximalist
Add a blue accent chair in an in-your-face shade to a room that’s already bursting with colour, or swap out your scatter cushions for a barrage of blue.
2. For the modern minimalist
Incorporate calming coastal hues of blue in wall art, or choose cool blue-toned buds for centrepiece floral vases.
3. For a blank canvas
Paint the town blue! If you’re staring at blank walls in need of inspiration, go bold into blue by colour drenching – or colour capping with a cool-toned neutral, for a more subtle approach.
Cottagecore continues…
Cottagecore, fairycore, Scandi cottage, grandmacore… let’s face it, cosy style is going nowhere. 2026 design trends take a further step into all things traditional, championing heritage florals and patterned prints combined with the comfiest of throws and cushions. Think your grandma’s house in the Cotswolds with a healthy dash of your own personality thrown in for good measure.
Personalised spaces
Introverts rejoice! In the era of home-bound hobbies, 2026 is the moment to create spaces that feel a little bit more you. Whether that’s self-care corners designed to soothe all the senses, a movie-marathon-worthy cinema room, or a cosy book nook to curl up with your latest romance read, making your home work for your hobbies might be the next big thing this new year.
How to create a reading nook at home
If your TBR pile is threatening to overtake your life, the new year is the perfect time to invest in a cosy reading nook. Take a look at our top tips for creating your own.
1. Choose a quiet corner
Your perfect book nook should feel like a getaway in the comfort of your own home. Pick a corner you’ll be most relaxed in – away from lots of footfall, not too hot or cold, with a cosy ‘tucked away’ feel.
2. Find your perfect seat
The right seat for you depends on how you like to read. Legs crossed and curled up? A cuddler is roomy enough to really burrow in. If your reading nook is situated in a more open space, you might opt for a small corner sofa or chaise for a cocooning feel.
3. Add some shelves
What’s a book nook without any books? Install some shelves and storage options to display your collection with pride, along with any trinkets or bookish decorations you feel attached to.
4. Don’t forget the lights
A small reading lamp on a side table or shelf lets you read long into the night. Fancy a more fantastical look? Layer a lamp with warm fairy lights draped along your bookshelf.
5. Make it more you
Time to add your own personal charm! A cosy blanket here, your favourite pillow there – maybe even a secret stash of teabags so your ultimate reading experience is never too far away.
Mid-century modern
The future of interior trends is the past! We’ll see mid-century modern move forward in a big way in 2026, with atmospheric colour palettes and retro-soaked sofas in the spotlight. Marked by the growing popularity of stripping back to basics and centring social spaces in the home, there’s never been a better time to liven up your living room with functional wooden furniture and iconic clean lines.
The return of Regency
Feminine. Fun. Frilly. Bridgerton is back in 2026, and with it comes the queen of all 2026 design trends: the Regencycore revival. Elaborate wallpaper, bursts of opulent colour, regal golden accents, heritage shapes with wiggles and pleats – if you can picture it in a 19th Century stately home, it’ll work in your living room’s Regency refresh. Start by stripping your scheme right back to reveal architectural details, then add floor-length curtains for an instant dose of elegance.
Embrace your wild side
Longing for a living room straight out of Kat Slater’s wildest dreams? You’re in luck! Following in the footsteps of 2025’s fashion, animal print interior trends are back with a vengeance in 2026. Think unapologetically feminine leopard print accents and splashes of zebra stripes for a wild Y2K look, or opt for a more subdued style with snake and crocodile prints in a modern monochrome space.
Sustainable and second hand
Micro-trends are officially on their way out. Instead, quality, long-term value, and durability are at the heart of lots of our favourite 2026 interior design trends. In keeping with this turn towards sustainable design, why not make someone’s old thing your new thing? Nothing says character quite like second-hand, vintage accessories (stick to new for your furniture buys) scavenged from local charity shops or online sellers on Vinted or eBay – and you can usually find a bargain, too!
