Revamp your home in 2026’s with interior expert’s 4 trending tips
As we step into a new year, many are keen to refresh themselves or their living spaces, and if home improvements are on your agenda, you’ll want to pay attention. An interiors specialist has revealed the top home design trends set to dominate 2026, ensuring your property makeover is bang on trend.
London-based interior design studio @atelier22london shared the upcoming trends on TikTok, sparking enthusiasm about what lies ahead for 2026. The video kicked off with warm neutrals as its first trend, showcasing various examples, before moving on to tactile and natural materials as its second named trend.
Those keen to embrace these ideas may want to consider blending soft neutrals, organic materials, texture, and understated accents.
For instance, you could begin with a gentle neutral foundation like cream, beige, warm greige, taupe or off-white for walls, larger furniture items or window dressings, then incorporate natural materials including wooden furniture or features, woven/rattan elements, pottery, linen or cotton fabrics, or even stone or terracotta.
You might also introduce greenery or organic decorative pieces like plants in understated containers, ceramic vases, artisan pottery or stoneware to inject vitality and gentle colour into a neutral space whilst maintaining tranquillity and cosiness.
Coming in third as a trend were statement furniture including oversized sofas and distinctive tables, whilst “playful colour accents” claimed fourth spot, with rooms showcasing striking splashes of colour on display. The most effective approach to ensuring vibrant hues appear harmonious rather than overwhelming is to restrict your colour scheme.
Promising pairings that homeowners might consider include navy paired with mustard, emerald green alongside brass, terracotta with warm beige, teal combined with blush, and black matched with burnt orange.
Numerous design professionals also recommend following the 60-30-10 principle. This involves 60% dominant colour (walls, substantial furniture pieces), 30% complementary colour (floor coverings, window treatments, medium-sized items) and 10% highlight colour (the striking accent).
The interior design garnered over 1,000 likes, with numerous people flocking to the comments to share their thoughts on the emerging trends.
One enthusiast declared: “I love how texture in textiles is really starting to come through.”
Meanwhile, another commented: “Let’s pray for playful tones, as we enjoy colour here.”
A third observer noted the trends possessed a “70s vibe” about them, prompting the studio to respond: “That’s our favourite era!”.
