Organic Modernism
“We’ll see a continued embrace of natural textures—stone, wood, and organic fabrics—balanced with clean, modern lines. This trend creates harmony between minimalism and warmth. Implementing it can be as simple as pairing a sleek sofa with a raw-edge wood coffee table or mixing plaster walls with linen upholstery.”
Statement Lighting as Sculpture
“Think oversized pendants, asymmetrical sconces, and fixtures that feel like art installations. It’s an easy way to elevate any space, even with neutral furnishings. We’ve used sculptural pendants in dining rooms to anchor the table while adding a dramatic focal point.”
Combining Paints and Stains
“Why choose just one when you can have both? In 2026, we anticipate a continued rise in inventive combinations of paint and stain-grade cabinetry. Picture a micro-shaker white oak, beautifully stained, paired with an inset panel in a deep, saturated paint tone. Or imagine a vanity where the top drawers are painted, while the base remains in a warm, natural stain.”
Dedicated Rooms Designed for Wellness
“Today’s wellness rooms embrace a more holistic approach to health and rejuvenation, thoughtfully designed to nurture both body and mind. We love enveloping them in warm wood tones through custom paneling and cabinetry or layering in rich, textural wallcoverings, cultivating an atmosphere that feels less like a gym and more like a personal spa retreat within the home.”
Natural Wood
“We’ll also see a move away from uniform, engineered looks and toward celebrating the beauty of natural wood. Plain sawn oak, ash, and walnut bring more visible grain patterns that add depth and authenticity. Implementing this trend could be as simple as custom cabinetry, flooring, or millwork in richly grained species.”
