What’s hot in home design? In 2026, it’s all about individualised interiors. 🏡⁠
⁠
As minimalist-led interiors fade into the background, expect to see more of those personalised touches – a pop of colour here, a quirky fixture there, home tech attuned to the individual’s wants and needs – and a real emphasis on giving your space character. ⁠

So if you fancy splicing tiles into new patterns, decking out the living room with panoramic wallpapers, colour capping the ceiling, tying up the bedroom in ribbons, installing sunshowers and smart mirrors in the bathroom or even making the kitchen an ode to the bucolic beauty of the Cotswolds, you’re in luck. ⁠
