2026 Interior Design Trends
Interior design trends for 2026 are shifting away from the clean, minimalist looks of recent years. This year, it’s all about maximalist, lived-in and welcoming spaces. Here, five trends to consider for your home.
Earthy Tones
The color palette for 2026 embraces saturated blues, deep greens and burnt spice shades. Whether you add these colors with paint or through accent pieces, they’re an easy way to make your space appear on trend.
Timeless and Sustainable
In 2026, the focus is shifting from fleeting trends to timeless design. The key to achieving this look: sustainability. Reclaimed wood, bamboo, organic fabrics and non-toxic finishes are perfect choices for furniture and accent pieces. Not only do these sustainable options stand the test of time, but they also support a more environmentally friendly home.
Home Is Where the Hospitality Is
The kitchen has always been the heart of the house, and in 2026, the focus is on hospitality. Homes are designed to welcome and bring people together. For example, Garman Homes’ Scissors model features a central kitchen—perfect for hosting. Let your personal taste shine through by exploring swapping out tiles for painted, colorful backsplashes to create a soft and inviting centerpiece for your home.
Purposeful Maximalism
This year, your home should reflect who you are. Enter maximalism. Don’t worry, organization lovers: Maximalism isn’t about clutter; it’s about intention. Embrace bold colors, personal touches and meaningful decor to make your space yours. Our award-winning builders bring the house to life, but you’re the one who makes it into a home.
So, bring on the knickknacks! And at Wendell Falls, our semi-customizable homes let you create a space from the start that is as one-of-a-kind as you are.
Curated for Cozy
In 2026, we are making our homes our castles. Cozy colors and personalized touches transform rooms into private sanctuaries, creating spaces that embody comfort and charm. Garman Homes’ Castle in Brooklyn exemplifies this approach, offering both spaces to entertain and private corners to unwind.
