FAQ: Neil Kelly's 2026 Home Design Trends Forecast

The forecast reveals how homeowners are increasingly prioritizing living spaces that feel grounding, warm, and reflect the natural world, detailing seven specific design trends for 2026.

As technology and AI accelerate, homeowners crave authenticity and a connection to nature in an increasingly digital world, leading to a movement away from man-made materials toward natural, organic materials like stone and wood.

The trends are: 1) Return to Earth (natural materials), 2) Statement Wallpaper + Pattern Play, 3) Warm Color Hues & Blues, 4) Crafted with Intention (hand-crafted pieces), 5) The New Metallics (champagne bronze, mixed metals), 6) Vintage Meets Modern, and 7) Mood-Boosting Design.

Wallpaper is becoming an architectural detail rather than an afterthought, with botanical prints, moody landscapes, textured papers, and mural-style art adding personality and depth to rooms, and pattern play extending to ceilings as the 'fifth wall'.

Warm, brown and jewel tone colors are trending, with a shift from white in kitchen cabinets and tile toward darker, warmer hues like deep warm purples, rich cabernet-style reds, dark natural greens, and teal-blue peacock hues.

In an increasingly digital and AI-driven world, people crave craftsmanship and attention to detail, seeking hand-crafted pieces that bring meaning, artistry, storytelling opportunities, and real-life connections into everyday spaces.

There's a shift toward champagne bronze, brushed brass, warm nickel, and mixed-metal moments, with intentional mixing of metals as long as tones feel harmonious, and chrome making a comeback as an accent paired with darker tones.

This style honors history while reinterpreting classic motifs for modern living, creating spaces rooted in periods like Victorian or Craftsman but updated with modern furniture lines and simplified styling.

The forecast features insights from Neil Kelly design leaders including Mary Miksch (Design Director), Selah Ewert (General Manager of Neil Kelly Bend), Matt White (General Manager for Neil Kelly Eugene/Springfield), and Amanda Armstrong Sava (General Manager Neil Kelly Seattle).
