The overarching home design themes for 2025 emphasise a deeper connection between people and their spaces. From customised furniture to storytelling rugs, emotional resonance will play a vital role in design choices, reflecting individuality and personal stories.

Sophie Salata, head of brand at Vinterior, echoes this sentiment, noting that 2026 will be all about incorporating pieces and creating spaces that truly feel like home. Imperfection, gentle clutter and interiors that look as though they’ve been pieced together over many years feel especially resonant—and inviting—right now.

2026 will see us embracing the natural, the organic and the unapologetically fabulous. So from tassels and trims to rich, aged woods and beyond

Opalescent finishes, starry silver home accents, and galaxy-inspired decor are about to make some serious waves in home design.

Hollond predicts the rise of textural tassels, stepping in to replace the scalloped edges that have found their way onto every pelmet, console and lampshade in recent years—so much so that they now risk feeling mass-produced and overdone.
