Top 6 Design Trend Tips for 2026

We asked our designer which trends will define 2026… and the predictions did not disappoint. Take a look at the styles set to shape this year.

Read below for 6 great directions to take your design in 2026 to stay on trend!

Look to nature for your color palatte

Lately, grays and cool colors have been very in. It was only a matter of time until the pendulum swung the other way, and sure enough it looks like 2026 will bring the warmth. Lean more toward warmth with earthy textures and colors found in nature.

Feel free to pick a single color for a whole room

Color drenching is filling an entire room with a single color. This brings added personality and uniqueness to homes as well as individual rooms.

The warmth will continue to show up in wood materials too

The warmth will extend beyond paint colors. Warm lighter woods with character will be more popular compared to gray toned woods and darker woods trending from the past few years.

Mix it up with a mixed metal look

Lately metal has been consistent throughout home designs. But mixed metals are coming back! Create a space and home that feels unique and less common by selecting multiple metals. Champagne bronze and chrome are coming back mixed with black and as always brushed nickel.

Light it up in 2026

Integrated LED light fixtures are really coming into the residential market allowing a depth in light that cans and standard flush mount fixtures did not offer. Layers of light are of huge importance when crafting your spaces.

Be yourself and go bold

Bold colors that reflect your inner style are great to splash throughout your home! Larger patterns displayed through paint or wallpaper is a great way to personalize.
