Have you heard? These are the design trends stealing the spotlight in 2026 — from checkerboard patterns to a fresh take on animal print.
From artistic abstract designs and playful geometric forms to tactile surfaces and a reimagined approach to classic motifs, this season’s trends celebrate interiors that feel expressive, curated and full of personality.
Layered shapes and considered placement define this look. Abstract and organic patterns are art-driven, bringing depth and visual interest to the designs.
This trend combines the iconic principles of Bauhaus design with a playful look. Think unexpected juxtapositions of scale, playful stripes and colour pop that bring joy to everyday spaces. These designs are unapologetically expressive, playful, and bold.
Texture takes centre stage. Raised elements and varied pile heights create a sculptured pile with depth and dimension. These designs invite touch and bring a more expressive finish to a space.
More chic, always dramatic. Animal print is back but with a contemporary twist. Think abstract animal patterns and motifs brought to life in sophisticated palettes.
Checkerboard patterns are part of a resurgence of vintage detailing in the home. More nuanced than in decades past, the softer colours and interesting textures being paired with this print gives this timeless look a fresh modern appeal.
