2026 Interior Design Trends

As we move into 2026, certain interior design trends are commanding attention among our clients. Our Interior Design studio reveals the key influences shaping the year ahead…

1. Maroon Interiors
Deep maroon is establishing itself as a considered, enduring colour choice. In a cloakroom, maroon walls with brass or black fittings create a confident, intimate space. Applied to joinery or cabinetry, the tone adds depth and refinement without overwhelming the architecture. Earthy yet striking, maroon continues to bring depth and drama, creating interiors that feel both grounded and compelling.

The Rosewood Manor WC features rich maroon tones for a refined, intimate feel.

2. Statement Tiles
Tiles are becoming a central feature in interiors. Terracotta remains popular in boot rooms and utility areas for its warmth and durability, with modern appeal coming from the way this traditional material is handled — through distinctive formats, unusual shapes, and contemporary laying patterns that lend a fresh, elevated character. Within our own projects, bathrooms are increasingly defined by statement tiles that create a strong visual identity. At Larks Barn, bold patterns and carefully selected grout deliver a confident, graphic look, while Rowfield House showcases elongated, stripe-inspired tiles that bring movement and refinement to the space. Across all applications, thoughtful consideration of grout colour, tile orientation, and material performance ensures these surfaces remain both practical and visually impactful.

At Rowfield House, green and white striped tiles add pattern and character.

3. Wine Storage
Home wine storage is transitioning from discreet cellar rooms to integrated display solutions that combine utility with visual interest. Clients often request climate-controlled cabinets, minimalist shelving, or glass-fronted display units strategically positioned in dining or kitchen areas. This trend reflects a desire for spaces that merge lifestyle and functionality seamlessly.

At The Old Church House, the wine room features bespoke storage and refined detailing.

4. Home Wellness
Wellness-led design is now a central consideration in luxury residential homes. Spatial layout, natural light, ventilation, and acoustics are coordinated to support relaxation and activity. Bathrooms are being treated as retreat spaces with spa-level finishes, while multi-functional rooms incorporate yoga, meditation, or exercise zones. The emphasis is on long-term comfort and mental well-being, not just aesthetics.

The Rosewood Manor Pilates Studio features Cotswolds stone and natural light for a calm, functional space.

Taken together, these interior design trends reflect a more considered approach to living — one where individuality, comfort and performance are carefully balanced. In 2026, interiors are shaped as cohesive, immersive environments, with confident use of colour, crafted details and purpose-led spaces coming together to support wellbeing and everyday enjoyment.
