Interior Design Trend Predictions 2026
As we step into 2026, the world of interior design is poised for a thrilling evolution, where sustainability meets bold self-expression, and comfort blends seamlessly with cutting-edge innovation.
Tapestries
Making an elegant comeback into interiors, tapestries are being reimagined for modern homes as textured, expressive pieces that bring depth and character to a room.
Authorship and Craftsmanship
Becoming the focal point of a room, they bring movement, tactility, and a sense of individuality, qualities that minimal spaces are increasingly craving. Unlike traditional artwork, a bespoke tapestry offers complete creative control. From scale and colour to texture, pattern, and narrative, It allows a space to be shaped intentionally, rather than styled around a pre-existing piece.
The beauty of commissioning a bespoke tapestry lies in authorship. Where artwork is collected, a tapestry is designed. It can respond directly to the architecture, mood, and purpose of a space, making it uniquely personal. Their appeal also lies in craftsmanship; handwoven techniques, natural fibres, and artisanal detail aligning with a broader shift towards considered, slower design.
Stair Runners
Statement stair runners are having a moment, making hallways and staircases feel considered, creative, and full of personality. Often the first thing you see when you walk through the front door, they have the ability to set off a ‘wow moment’ before you’ve even seen the interiors (especially ours!).
A well-designed stair runner draws the eye in the same way artwork does, introducing colour, pattern, and movement, while adding instant character. It transforms a functional space into something expressive, anchoring the hallway and making the stairs a little more enjoyable!
Sculptural Rugs
Imperfection is replacing minimalism and we love it! Furniture thrives in combination within interior spaces, so why not do the same with shape? Clean lines are becoming less appealing. Organic-shaped rugs can tie a minimalist room together as a beautiful statement piece of art, perfectly paired with sleek, considered interiors.
How to pair organic shaped rugs with your interiors
Use sculptural rugs to balance structured furniture and clean architectural lines, choose shapes that echo the flow of the room and perfectly fit into the negative space, while allowing enough space around them to let the form stand out.
Let the rug act as a focal point by keeping surrounding pieces simple, and choose a scale that feels intentional within the space. When paired thoughtfully, these rugs add character and a modern edge without overwhelming the interior.
