With every passing year, certain interior design trends fall to the wayside, making way for new looks to find their way into homes. What was popular in 2024 changed as styles evolved heading into 2025, and the same will be true for the coming year as well. But beyond focusing on the changing tides of what’s in and what’s out, everyone (including ourselves) was curious if there was a particular trend that the pros are especially eager to retire from homes (their own and their clients’) as we head into the new year.
Below, find out what trends designers expect to see in the New Year, plus a couple of trends they’re so over, as we wrap up 2025.
Sustainable Materials & Circular Design
Sustainable interiors are now the new design DNA.
Eco-friendly materials are taking centre stage (reclaimed wood, recycled stone, natural fabrics, etc.). Designers are focusing on how things are made, not just how they look. Certifications like FSC wood and low-VOC finishes are becoming the new gold standard.
The idea of circular design is also gaining ground, and modular furniture (as shown above), recycled metal fixtures, and biodegradable paint are making it easier than ever.
Biophilic Design & Indoor Greenery
Price: $699
Nature is stepping indoors in 2026, and staying for good. Biophilic design is all about creating calm, balanced spaces that breathe. Plants, natural textures, and sunlight are making rooms feel alive. Sustainable furniture is making rounds from home to home, and even small touches are creating magic… a clay vase, a jute rug, or even a painting made from natural pigments.
Multifunctional & Space‑Saving Furniture
Price: $169.99
Homes in 2026 are getting smarter about space, with multifunctional furniture at the lead. Coffee tables that lift into work desks. Sofas with hidden storage. Nesting tables that slide away when not in use. There’s so much to explore.
The focus: A single piece should serve multiple purposes, look good, and last.
Warm Minimalism & Curated Simplicity
Price: $890
Interior design in 2026 is dialling down the noise.
Warm minimalism is expected to be embraced more than ever. The concept revolves around quality over quantity- not about having less, but about having better. A handcrafted dining table set or even a single ceramic bowl… each piece is chosen with purpose.
Textures & Tactile Fabrics
Price: $1505
Texture, texture, texture- a design rule that will now serve as a design trend. Rugs, throws, curtains, upholstery, artwork, lighting, bring it on in every corner. Furniture, particularly, makes a significant part, and adding texture here is the easiest (+ most noticeable). A Tweed Modular Sofa, for example, will instantly make you want to sink in.
Bold Color Accents & Refined Maximalism
Price: $299.99
Color is officially back, but in a more thoughtful way. Refined maximalism is about mixing bold tones with balance + intention. Case in point: Green and Teak Entryway Bench. Against soft beige, it creates a statement that feels personal and trendy, together.
Designers are keeping color restricted to one statement piece for now. Could be a sizeable wall hanging or a bold piece of furniture. Even quirky accent items can do the trick. The goal is to create visual energy without the chaos.
Smart Integration & Seamless Tech
Price: $399.00
Tech is a trend that will only become bigger and better, and, with that, smart design is getting sleeker. Technology is blending in, not standing out. Forget bulky gadgets and visible wires; homes are welcoming seamless integration that feels natural.
Beds with built-in charging ports are everywhere. Smartphone-controlled lighting and hidden power hubs have transformed everyday furniture into multitaskers.
Convenience wrapped in clean design 😉 Luxurious. Trendy. Convenient. All in one.
Vintage Revival & Artisan Craftsmanship
Price: $950.40
Old is gold: the top interior design trend for 2026. Tied closely to the concept of sustainability, vintage revival and the appreciation for artisan craftsmanship are breathing new life into homes. Designers are mixing heirloom pieces with modern forms to celebrate imperfections and hand-carved details. Homeowners are rediscovering the beauty of pieces that tell a story. It’s a trend that captures old-school charm but maintains the beauty of modern living. Timeless. Soulful. Perfectly balanced.
Outdoor‑Indoor Living & Durable All‑Weather Pieces
Price: $349.99
The boundary between indoors and outdoors is fading fast. Outdoor-indoor living is about creating one continuous space that flows naturally between the patio and the living room.
Designers are leaning into weather-resistant furniture that works just as beautifully on a patio as it does in a dining nook. A wicker dining set, for example, can shift from Sunday brunch on the terrace to game night indoors without missing a beat. Add soft performance cushions + a woven rug + a few potted plants, and the look feels complete.
The trend is clear: comfort shouldn’t depend on walls. 2026 homes are designed to move with the seasons, and the moment. Indoor comfort is being carried outdoors, and outdoor durability is moving indoors.
Wellness‑Centric Design & Ergonomics
Price: $10,702
Health and comfort are becoming design essentials, not luxuries, as wellness-centric interiors gain more popularity than ever. Ergonomic furniture, such as this Wellness Therapy Lounger, is the new standard for restorative living. Just like that, adjustable elements, air-improving materials, and natural fabrics are sharing the spotlight, too. Every piece (from the mattress to the desk chair) is designed to restore energy, not drain it.
Wellness, quite literally, starts where you sit.
Customizable Modular Systems and Personalization
Price: $4,729 (starting)
Personal expression shapes a big chunk of the latest trends. Homes are becoming more adaptable, and furniture is keeping up. Greater flexibility. Better creative control.
The Ethnicraft Modular Sofa, particularly, nails the concept perfectly. Each piece connects effortlessly, meaning you can create a layout that fits the moment- a cozy corner setup or a sprawling family arrangement.
Window treatments, decor pieces, bedroom furniture, dining tables; personalization fits every nook. We’re celebrating design freedom here. Mix, match, expand, and redefine because your home should move with you. Never against you 😉
