Eclectic Minimalism

This past year, we’ve seen maximalism and dopamine decor everywhere. These styles celebrate playful abundance, filling your space with life and personality. In 2026, we’ll see them evolve into a more refined take known as eclectic minimalism.

Eclectic minimalism blends the clean lines and pared-back nature of minimalist design with the personality and fun of eclectic decor. It’s a way of embracing the philosophy of sparking joy through your interiors in a simpler, softer way. 

Style this look with mismatched furniture, rounded but clean lines, interesting textures, personal trinkets, striking artwork, and colourful rugs.

Retro, Colourful Nostalgia

Another adaptation of maximalism and dopamine decor is spaces inspired by retro, colourful nostalgia. We’re seeing this through trends like Throwback Kid and Fun Haus from Pinterest. This trend is all about recreating childhood nostalgia through pieces and styles that take you back. Embrace bold, primary colours, look for vintage furniture pieces, style fun patterns such as stripes and checkerboard, and hunt down retro toys and decor you loved as a kid to bring it all together.

Large Statement Art Pieces 

In 2026, we’re going to see more designers incorporating large statement pieces in spaces. From expansive murals to huge canvases to wall tapestries and extra-large rugs. It’s all about making an impact and choosing one piece as your striking focal point. 

While this trend might seem bold, it’s surprisingly easy to make it work. Start with an extra-large statement artwork, then draw out two or three colours from its palette and repeat them around the room. Use one for the walls, another for soft furnishings like cushions, and finish with a coordinating rug to create a cohesive, well-balanced space.

Organic Materials 

Organic materials will be a big focus in 2026 interior design. From wooden furniture to natural-fibre rugs to linen bedding, we’re seeing people drawn towards natural, high-quality, timeless pieces. These organic materials offer textural interest to the space, adding depth and layers. The neutral tones help to create a sophisticated, calming atmosphere that is cosy yet still inviting. These materials also offer an eco-conscious choice for people increasingly seeking more sustainable approaches to interior design.

Colour Trends 

Cool Blues

Pinterest have predicted cool blue will ice out any other colour competition this year. This colour brings cool-toned sophistication to any space, whether you’re colour-drenching your room or looking for the perfect accent colour. 

Cool blue is being hailed as the new pop of red, emerging from the popular “unexpected red theory”, where you can add a splash of red to any space to elevate it. Now, people are using blue in the same way. Add a blue cushion here, or some blue trim there, and your space is instantly uplifted. 

Effortlessly versatile, cool blue can be styled into retro, nostalgic colour palettes, pared-back eclectic minimalist spaces, or used as a refreshing accent in an Art Deco interior.

Natural Greens

Have you heard that green is the new neutral? Because we certainly have. From sage to matcha to olive, green is everywhere in interior design right now. There were multiple shades of green featured in Lick’s 2026 Colour Edit, Valspar announced their Colour of the Year as Warm Eucalyptus, and Pinterest is going crazy for khaki. This natural, biophilic shade is a versatile, grounding, and calming colour we can’t wait to see everywhere in 2026.

Lofty Whites

Pantone has crowned their much-anticipated Colour of the Year, and it’s… white. Certainly not what we expected. Cloud Dancer is a lofty, airy white that is supposedly a response to an overstimulated, oversaturated world. It’s a call to find joy and relaxation in simplicity through creating tranquil spaces. 

Is this going to be the colour that takes over 2026, or is it all just fluff? We’ll have to wait and see.

Rich Reds

It’s time to paint the town red, or at least paint your home red. While in 2025 we saw tomato and cherry reds all over our feeds, the colour is taking a more sophisticated, grounded approach in 2026. Look towards more earthy colour palettes for brick reds and terracottas, as well as deeper tones such as wine red and rich plum. Whether you’re looking for a red rug or want a more elegant take on the “unexpected red theory”, these red shades work beautifully in a range of different interior styles.
