In case you missed it, we recently unveiled our 2026 trends forecast, sharing the colours, materials and design directions set to define the year ahead.
The report brings together real-time insight from the Press Loft platform – from what journalists are searching for and downloading, to the stories they’re actively working on – alongside Pinterest trend data, marketplace insights, fashion week cues and wider cultural shifts. It’s less about chasing micro-trends, and more about spotting the ideas with real staying power. Rather than covering everything here, we’ve pulled out five standout trends from the report to give you a flavour of what’s coming in 2026.
Celadon Green
Celadon Green is one of our more serene picks for 2026, tapping directly into the ongoing desire for calm, restorative spaces. Inspired by traditional East Asian ceramics, it has a cool, washed quality that feels both intentional and quietly luxurious – which is exactly why it’s gaining so much attention. Sitting somewhere between green and grey, it offers a softer, more nuanced alternative to both crisp neutrals and bolder colour statements.
We’re seeing celadon rise across ceramics, painted cabinetry and soft furnishings, often paired with pale woods, frosted glass and chalky whites. It brings a sense of ease to a space without ever tipping into minimal coldness – calming, but never boring. And beyond the home, it’s appearing in fashion too: satin dresses, glazed jewellery and accessories for SS26. In a market saturated with fast-moving trend tones, Celadon feels more thoughtful, and signals a shift toward colour that soothes, rather than shouts.
Caramel Tones
Alongside cooler, restorative shades, caramel tones are emerging as a key grounding colour story for 2026. Warmer than beige and lighter than deep coffee browns, this palette brings depth and richness without tipping into heaviness.
From leather and upholstery to wood finishes and decorative details, caramel introduces warmth in a way that feels natural and tactile. It works beautifully as an anchor shade, balancing softer palettes and adding contrast to light, airy spaces without stealing focus.
And it’s not limited to interiors. Caramel is showing up in fashion and lifestyle too, from structured bags and suede layers to full warm-toned looks. It’s part of a wider move away from stark neutrals and toward shades that feel lived-in, comforting and quietly luxurious. It’s a colour with staying power, rather than being a fleeting trend moment, so we expect to see a lot of it in 2026.
Rosso Levanto
While soft greens and warm neutrals speak to calm, Rosso Levanto sits firmly at the other end of the palette – bold, indulgent and full of character. This deep wine-red marble has been steadily gaining attention as designers shift away from pared-back stone toward finishes with presence and personality.
We’re seeing Rosso Levanto used in sculptural furniture, tabletop surfaces, lighting bases and decorative objects, where its dramatic veining becomes a focal point rather than a supporting detail. It pairs beautifully with brass, dark woods and cream tones, instantly adding depth and a sense of permanence to a scheme.
What makes Rosso Levanto feel particularly relevant for 2026 is the mood behind it. Consumers are leaning towards pieces that feel collected and investment-worthy; items chosen for longevity, not just for now. In an era of fast interiors, materials like this suggest a return to slower decision-making, where the aim isn’t to fill a space quickly, but to build one with intention over time.
Everything is Romantic
After a few seasons of moodier, gothic-led romance, 2026 welcomes a softer interpretation, one that favours drape, tenderness and tactile detail over drama. Everything Is Romantic leans into fluid shapes, fabric movement and a gentle femininity that feels uplifting rather than ornate.
We’re seeing this through scalloped edges, layered sheers, frilled trims and ribboned accents – delicate details that feel expressive without overwhelming a room. It’s appearing in interiors through draped curtains, ruffled bedding, curved silhouettes in furniture, and glassware with wave-like form. But the influence is spilling into fashion too, from slip-style silhouettes and sheer overlays to bows, lace and the return of romantic volume.
What makes this interesting is how it reconnects with femininity in a way that feels confident, not fragile – with softness being reclaimed as a form of self-care and authenticity.
Sunday Supper Club
Sunday Supper Club captures a behavioural shift in how we gather – slower, more intentional hosting where atmosphere matters just as much as the meal itself. Think soft lighting, handwritten menus, tactile ceramics and linen napkins; little gestures that say stay a while rather than look how perfect this is.
It’s hosting as a love language. The table doesn’t need to match, the plates don’t need to be new, it’s all about comfort, presence and connection. In interiors, this looks like layered tablescapes, warm neutrals, mismatched stoneware and pieces made to be used, not styled.
It also taps into a wider return to slow living. After years of digital fatigue, people are craving real-world moments again. Younger hosts are borrowing rituals from their grandparents – bringing out the “good” dishes, candlelight, a sense of occasion – but with the formality stripped away. The result is evenings that feel elevated yet deeply relaxed, where the memories matter more than the photos.
