If a home refresh is one of your New Year’s resolutions, you’re probably wondering where exactly to start\u2014and what design trends will still look fresh and exciting in the years to come. Fortunately, Houzz<\/a> offered a sneak peek at the design trends you’ll be seeing cropping up in homes across the country in 2026.

Traditional Vibes <\/p>\n

Sleek and modern may have been the buzzwords in the past, but people are opting for more traditional designs now\u2014think English country or modern Tudor elements. To get the look yourself, you’ll want to pay attention to the details: Think elaborate millwork and paneling, earthy and muted color schemes, and throwing a curve with arches and scalloped edges that soften your space.\n<\/p>\n

Art Deco Design <\/p>\n

If you’re looking for your Great Gatsby moment, now’s the time. Art Deco design\u2014with all its glamour, luxury, and bold styling\u2014has had a massive resurgence. (Think of this era as the “new Roaring ’20s!”) To get the look, add luxe materials like glossy lacquer, marble, mirrors, and brass, gold, and chrome, and geometric detailing like chevrons and sunbursts. Moody jewel tone color palettes (like the Ralph Lauren trend currently popping up everywhere) are perfect for that Art Deco vibe.\n<\/p>\n

Checkerboard Everywhere <\/p>\n

Consider this 2026 trend an offshoot of Art Deco’s popularity, as checkerboard was a key component of that style. But you don’t have to stick with the traditional black-and-white color combo. Designers are channeling the look in new ways, such as a soft cream and sage, or dramatic emerald or oxblood hue. And while checkerboard is a common flooring style, don’t be afraid to incorporate it in a backsplash or tub surround.\n<\/p>\n

Statement Stone Slabs <\/p>\n

Natural stone has been a popular choice for kitchens and baths for decades, but the current trend is for a softer veining that runs throughout the countertops\u2014and the backsplashes, too. Think materials like quartzite or marble, with red, green, brown, or gold veining.\n<\/p>\n

Flat-Panel Cabinets <\/p>\n

Flat-panel cabinets are a modern kitchen staple\u2014but while they’re popular in the more sleek designs of late, you’ll also find them featured in even more traditionally styled kitchens. This trend is simple and timeless\u2014but also perfectly practical, as it makes it so much easier to wipe the cabinets clean.\n<\/p>\n

Wall-Mounted Bathroom Faucets <\/p>\n

This genius new trend also makes bathroom cleanup easier. Mounting the faucet on the wall gives you more counter space and makes it simpler to wipe up the sink and countertop.\n<\/p>\n

Cozy Yellows <\/p>\n

Rich golds, ochres, and honey shades will have their moment in 2026, either with a full-on color drenching<\/a>\u2014or just in details, like a cozy velvet sofa or dramatic drapes.\n<\/p>\n

Custom Built-Ins <\/p>\n

Built-ins are back, baby! Another favorite of the 1920s, built-ins now are purpose-built for TVs, closed storage, or even bars to make entertaining a cinch.\n<\/p>\n

Enhancing outdoor spaces<\/a> has been a big focus of the 2020s\u2014and now, people are looking to subdivide their backyards into dedicated spaces for different purposes. Pathways and low shrubs may be used to delineate different areas\u2014so your dining patio, play lawn, and cozy reading nook are set off from the rest of the yard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If a home refresh is one of your New Year’s resolutions, you’re probably wondering where exactly to start\u2014and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-180226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
