2026 Interior Design Trends - Our Predictions
As we look ahead to 2026, interior design is continuing its shift toward warmth, craft, and meaning. Across both residential and commercial spaces, we’re seeing a renewed appreciation for materials, patterns, and finishes that feel intentional, tactile, and rooted in history, while still speaking to modern living.
Below, we’re breaking down the macro interior design trends shaping 2026, followed by the wallpaper, mural, custom, and color directions we expect to define the year.
Interior Design Trends Shaping 2026
A Return to Craft and Heritage Design
Design in 2026 is deeply influenced by the values of the 19th-century Arts & Crafts movement—an emphasis on craftsmanship, quality materials, and ornament drawn from nature. Originally championed by designers like William Morris, this movement was a reaction to mass production, and its principles feel especially relevant today.
We’re seeing organic motifs such as botanicals, foliage, birds, and animals re-emerge across interiors, paired with thoughtful detailing and layered materials. Spaces feel collected rather than curated, expressive rather than overly polished.
Modern Craftsman
An evolution of Arts & Crafts, Craftsman style is appearing in a more contemporary form. In 2026, interiors are leaning into the raw beauty of natural materials such as brick, wood, and grasscloth. These elements bring texture, warmth, and authenticity to a space while grounding more modern architectural lines.
This trend speaks directly to designers and homeowners seeking longevity, materials that age well and interiors that feel considered and welcoming.
Nostalgic Country
Nostalgic country design continues to gain momentum and shows no signs of slowing down in 2026. This aesthetic celebrates comfort, familiarity, and subtle vintage influence.
Muted, earthy color palettes are layered with raw, natural elements like fresh greenery, dried florals, and timeworn furniture. Antique accents whether a weathered chest or an heirloom cabinet add character and history, creating spaces that feel warm, lived-in, and deeply personal.
Wallpaper Trends for 2026
Wallpaper remains a powerful design tool in 2026, used to add depth, dimension, and visual interest to both minimalist and layered interiors.
Statement Wall Prints and Pattern Drenching
Highly detailed wall prints are taking center stage. Designers are gravitating toward patterns that offer nuance and dimension rather than flat repetition. Key motifs we’re seeing include:
- Statement stone and mineral-inspired designs
- Archival and heritage florals
- Fine and classic stripes
- Tone-on-tone compositions
- Gridded and structured layouts
- Stylized contours with visual movement
These designs bring architectural presence to a space while remaining versatile enough for a range of interiors.
Wallpaper Murals: Art Meets Architecture
Wallpaper murals are poised for a major moment in 2026. Murals rooted in heritage design, traditional botanicals, pastoral scenes, and vintage-inspired illustrations are in high demand, along with nature-driven landscapes and imaginative kids’ murals. A hand painted approach is key here.
Murals allow designers to introduce storytelling and scale, transforming walls into immersive focal points rather than simple backdrops.
Custom Wallpaper on the Rise
Personalization continues to influence interiors, and custom wallpaper is becoming a key part of the design process. Designers and consumers are increasingly seeking the ability to adjust scale, color, and layout to suit specific spaces.
Custom wallpaper allows for expressive, project-specific solutions while maintaining the integrity of the original design making it a lasting staple rather than a fleeting trend.
Color Trends for 2026
Butter:
Soft, buttery yellow tones are expected to have a strong presence in 2026, particularly in spring and summer interiors. This warm, optimistic shade brings light and energy to a space while pairing beautifully with natural textures and heritage-inspired patterns.
Warm Grey
Warm greys continue to replace cooler, blue-based neutrals. This versatile hue offers balance and depth, serving as a grounding backdrop that supports both traditional and modern interiors without feeling stark or flat.
Champagne
Champagne tones are being featured by designers and paint authorities as part of the 2026 palette usually as soft, warm neutrals that feel timeless and cozy rather than bold or saturated.
Looking Ahead
From heritage influences and tactile materials to expressive wallpaper and thoughtful color palettes, 2026 interior design is all about warmth, craftsmanship, and individuality.
