2026 Design Trends To Stay
27th January 2026
If there’s one thing defining interiors in 2026, it’s a move away from excess and toward intention. More than ever, homes are being designed to last. Instead of chasing quick trends, people are looking for spaces that feel calm, considered, and comfortable to live in day after day.
Every choice feels more deliberate, from the materials we’re drawn to, to the way texture, shape, and proportion are used to create atmosphere without overwhelming a space.
Refined Classicism
Classic design isn’t going anywhere, it’s simply evolving, and the ‘Regencycore’ influence is a big part of that shift. You’ll notice it in the softer proportions, gentle curves, and the sense of balance that feels elegant without ever being overdone. It’s a style that feels familiar, but lighter and more relaxed.
What’s interesting about this modern take on Regency is that it’s less about decoration and more about form. Symmetry, refinement, and softness take centre stage, creating interiors that feel considered and timeless rather than formal. These classic-inspired spaces sit easily alongside contemporary design, bringing a sense of elegance that doesn’t demand attention.
This balance is very much reflected in Croft’s Kingsmere collection, which reinterprets traditional design with a transitional feel.

Texture That Feels Real
Texture has come a long way in adding interest to interiors. Instead of relying on bold colour or strong pattern, designers are using fine linear details, subtly sculpted finishes, and layered materials to create depth in a softer way. These textures invite you in, creating a sensory richness that unfolds over time rather than demanding attention all at once.
There’s also a clear shift toward more natural, organic textures. Slight variations and subtle irregularities give surfaces a sense of life, adding warmth and character to a space. Used well, texture can transform an interior from feeling flat to uniquely eye catching. There’s something almost playful about how this trend is evolving and we are excited to see it unfold.

A Softer Kind of Minimalism
Minimalism still plays a big role in interiors, but it feels very different to how it once did. Clean lines and uncluttered spaces are still important, but they’re now balanced with softer shapes, warmer materials, and thoughtful details. This creates interiors that feel calm without being cold, and spaces that are simple yet refined.
This more relaxed approach allows homes to feel lived-in and welcoming, while still maintaining a sense of order. It’s minimalism that feels human, comfortable, and easy to live with. The Elegance collection imbues this concept, offering a quiet sense of calm that sits effortlessly within contemporary and transitional interiors.
