Unpacking the 2026 Interior Trends to Refresh Your Home
Fringe & Frills
The 17th century is back - but with a modern twist. Tassels, trims, and fringes are appearing in unexpected ways, giving sofas and accessories an elevated, elegant feel.
Add personality with fringed scatter cushions, throws, and accessories. For a layered, luxurious look, the Regency sofa is perfect - its deep-seated, soft chenille design pairs beautifully with a mix of fringed and plain cushions, creating depth and comfort without overwhelming the space.
For a more tactile, statement style, the Moderna sofa works wonderfully with fringed scatter cushions and can be styled with a matching fringed throw. Complementing this with a fringed lampshade or a piece of trendy fringed artwork instantly elevates the room, adding texture and playful sophistication.
These styling touches bring warmth, character, and a touch of elegance to any living space, making your sofa the centrepiece of a truly cosy home.
Stylish Shelving
Maximalism is back, and shelving is the perfect way to showcase your personality while complementing your sofa. Tall, neutral-toned units provide a backdrop for books, plants, ornaments, and framed photos, adding depth and character to any living space.
Layering is key: mix objects of different heights, shapes, and textures — for example, a small plant beside a bold vase, a stack of design books, and a statement sculpture. Odd numbers create visual appeal, and leaving some negative space prevents the display from feeling crowded.
Different sofa profiles pair beautifully with shelving. A low-back sofa, like the Marvella, sits perfectly against a wall of shelves, letting your display shine without overwhelming the room. The Adler’s slim, elevated profile works well with open shelving or floating units, keeping the space airy, while the Amalfi’s chunkier, low-to-the-floor design feels grounded and cosy against a taller, curated shelving arrangement.
Warm-toned LED lighting can add depth and highlight your favourite pieces, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxing on any of these sofas. Personal touches — from souvenirs to small artworks — ensure your shelving feels uniquely yours while maintaining a stylish, layered look.
Natural Wood Elements
In 2026, natural wood is making a strong comeback. Not just in furniture, but as a key decor element throughout the home. Wooden side tables, shelving accents, trays, and even statement wall panels bring warmth and texture, balancing softer fabrics and layered textiles.
The Cove sofa is a perfect way to bring this trend into your living space. Its thin wooden strip panelling on the side fascia adds subtle texture and a relaxed beach-house vibe. Pair it with light wooden accessories or a timber coffee table to enhance that effortless, coastal-inspired feel.
Mixing different wood tones and finishes — light oak alongside darker walnut, for example — adds depth and visual interest without overpowering the room. Natural wood decor complements tactile fabrics, layered cushions, and the textured trends of 2026, giving your home an organic, timeless touch.
Bringing it Together
Whether it’s the playful elegance of Fringe & Frills, the curated personality of Stylish Shelving, or the natural warmth of Wood Elements, 2026 is all about creating a home that feels personal, cosy, and stylish.
Layer textures, mix heights, and experiment with accessories, but always make comfort your priority. With these trends, your living space can feel refreshed, balanced, and ready for whatever the year brings, all while showcasing your sofa as the heart of the room.
