10 Homeware Trends for 2026

Art isn’t only on canvas anymore. Textile wall hangings are rising as an expressive way to bring texture, colour, and cultural depth to interiors. From hand-woven tapestries and traditional suzanis to sculptural fibre art and fringed macramés, these pieces introduce softness and rhythm to walls.

Textile art adds visual interest without overwhelming a space, and because many pieces are handcrafted, they carry subtle irregularities that feel intentional and soulful. Whether used as a statement above a sofa, layered with eclectic objects, or paired with minimalist furniture, suzanis and textile hangings anchor a room with warmth, depth, and presence.

Interior design just got a sense of humour. FunHaus is all about injecting joy, whimsy, and delight into the everyday. Think colourful geometric accents, playful lighting shapes, quirky art, and unexpected furniture silhouettes. It’s a trend that says interiors don’t have to be serious - they can spark joy.

FunHaus spaces blur the line between art and utility, encouraging us to interact with our surroundings in lighthearted ways. The result? Rooms that make you smile and increase dopamine.

Bringing global influences into the heart of home design, Afrohemian Decor blends African aesthetics with relaxed bohemian spirit. This trend celebrates artisanal craft, bold patterns, organic materials, and symbolic motifs.

It’s joyful, expressive, and deeply rooted in tradition while paired with contemporary pieces. Expect woven baskets, carved wood, sculptural vessels, vibrant textiles, and layered rugs - all curated in a way that feels intentional and soulful.

Afrohemian interiors don’t follow strict rules; they honour heritage and creativity while allowing personal expression to shine. 

Lacquered and glossy finishes bring a sense of polish and contrast to interiors, adding depth without overpowering a space. When used thoughtfully, shine becomes a design feature - subtle, sculptural, and quietly impactful.

From lacquered side tables and shelving to glossy cabinetry, ceramic lighting, and glazed tiles, these finishes catch the light and elevate everyday forms. Paired with matte walls, natural woods, and textured textiles, they create balance between softness and structure.

Rather than dominating a room, glossy surfaces work best as accents, introducing moments of light and refinement within layered, characterful interiors.

A trend we loved in 2025 and we want to repeat, wood and natural materials continue to anchor interiors, bringing warmth, texture, and a sense of ease that feels timeless rather than trend-led. From solid timber furniture and woven seating to stone, clay, and linen, these materials create spaces that feel calm, tactile, and inherently lived in.

Rattan, in particular, shows no sign of fading. Moving beyond its bohemian associations, it appears in more refined, sculptural forms - from armchairs and lighting to storage and accent pieces - proving its versatility across both relaxed and contemporary interiors. Paired with warm woods and natural finishes, rattan carries seamlessly into the year ahead, reinforcing the ongoing shift towards grounded, material-led design.
