Our 2026 Trend Predictions - And How To Bring Them Into Your Home
2026 is the year of warmth, tactility and soulful elegance. Interiors are moving toward spaces that feel grounded, comforting and beautifully expressive. Here are the three biggest trends we expect to see - and exactly how you can recreate them at home with Sweetpea & Willow.
Warm, Earth-Rooted Colour Palettes
The Trend
Cold greys continue to fade as 2026 embraces earthy warmth: clay, terracotta, honeyed neutrals, forest greens, soft ochres and deep berry notes. These tones create a sense of calm and comforting depth.
Why It Matters
Homes are becoming sanctuaries again. These grounded, nature-inspired colours instantly make a space feel more nurturing and welcoming.
How To Bring This Home
- Start with a warm neutral foundation (sofas, rugs, curtains).
- Add layers of rich, nature-based colours through cushions and upholstery.
- Introduce terracotta, sand or stoneware accessories for tonal harmony.
Tactile, Natural Materials & Beautiful Texture
The Trend
2026 celebrates the authentic texture of linen, boucle, rattan, wool, natural woods, stone and handmade ceramics. It’s about touchable, honest materials that instantly elevate a space.
Why It Matters
Texture brings rooms to life. Even neutral spaces feel richer, cosier and more interesting when they embrace natural materiality.
How To Bring This Home
- Mix natural materials like linen with oak or wool with stone for a balanced, tactile feel.
- Add woven textures through lighting, baskets or occasional chairs.
- Use artisan-inspired ceramics and decor to introduce warmth and soul.
The Rise of Curves & Sculptural Softness
The Trend
From curved sofas to round coffee tables and fluid lighting, 2026 embraces soft silhouettes and sculptural shapes. These forms feel artistic yet effortlessly calming.
Why It Matters
Curves soften a room, create better flow and make even modern interiors feel inviting. They add personality without overpowering a space.
How To Bring This Home
- Anchor your room with one curved statement piece.
- Swap harsh angles for rounded tables or scalloped edges.
- Add sculptural lamps or decorative objects to elevate everyday areas.
As we step into 2026, creating a home that feels meaningful, comforting and beautifully personal has never been more important. By embracing warmth, texture and sculptural softness, you can curate a space that not only looks timeless, but truly feels like you. Here’s to a year of thoughtful design and homes that reflect who you are at every touchpoint!
