As we step into 2026, home interiors continue to evolve in exciting ways that reflect both style and lifestyle. Whether you’re preparing a home for the market or planning a long-term living update, understanding the latest decor trends helps you create spaces that are not only beautiful but functional and future-ready.
From sustainable materials to cozy, personalized spaces, the trends emerging this year blend comfort, innovation, and timeless appeal. Here are the top home decor trends for 2026 that will influence interiors across Boise, the Treasure Valley, and beyond.
Sustainable and Natural Materials
Sustainability continues to be a major theme in home decor as homeowners prioritize eco-friendly choices. Natural materials such as:
Reclaimed wood
Cork accents
Organic textiles like linen and cotton
Stone and terrazzo finishes
These are becoming staples in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms alike. These materials introduce warmth and texture while aligning with environmentally conscious design choices.
Muted Earth Tones With Bold Accents
In 2026, color palettes are shifting toward soothing earth tones—think soft clay, sage green, and warm beige—as the foundation of a room’s design. These calming hues create inviting interiors that feel grounded and versatile.
To add personality and visual interest, incorporate bold accents like:
Deep emerald or navy
Burnt orange
Mustard yellow
Accent colors can appear in throw pillows, artwork, or statement furniture pieces that bring energy without overpowering the space.
Multifunctional and Flexible Spaces
As more homeowners balance work, leisure, and family life at home, multifunctional spaces are taking center stage. Rooms that serve dual purposes—such as home offices that transform into guest bedrooms or living areas that double as workout zones—reflect real-world needs.
Key ways to create flexible spaces include:
Fold-away desks
Multi-use furniture like ottomans with storage
Room dividers that define zones without closing off space
This trend maximizes square footage and supports dynamic lifestyles.
Biophilic Design and Greenery
The connection between interior spaces and nature strengthens in 2026 with biophilic design. Incorporating plants, natural light, and organic shapes invites calm and improves wellbeing.
Popular biophilic elements include:
Large potted plants or living walls
Natural light maximization with sheer window treatments
Nature-inspired artwork or textiles
Areas dedicated to hydroponic gardens or growing stations
Small herb gardens on a desktop, countertop, or as part of a decorated corner of a room
Plants also improve air quality and introduce living beauty into every room.
Textured Fabrics and Layered Comfort
Comfort remains a top priority in home decor, with textured fabrics taking center stage. Expect to see:
Bouclé sofas
Plush rugs
Knitted throws
Velvet accent chairs
Layering textures adds depth, tactile interest, and a sense of coziness that resonates with people spending more time at home.
