Winter is the perfect time to take a moment to pause and soak in all of the cosy elements and gather inspiration for new interior design ideas.
This season's trends are all about calm, comfort and thoughtful details.
Read on as we touch on these subtle shifts that make our homes feel softer, ever so warm and more personal.
You may have seen the announcement earlier in December, but if not, Pantone has revealed its colour of the year for 2026: Cloud Dancer.
This gentle, dreamy tone invites a return to simplicity, encouraging spaces that feel considered, balanced and beautifully serene.
It's just right for this time of year and a lovely way to welcome in the new year.
"Cloud Dancer opens up space for creativity, allowing our imagination to drift so that new insighths and bold ideas can emerge and take shape."
Laurie Pressman, Vice President, Pantone Colour Institute
Whether woven into your Christmas decorations, used in light fixtures or introduced as an antique accent, warm metallics remain a timeless favourite.
Think brass, gold or brushed bronze, to bring a soft, welcoming glow to your space.
It's such an easy update to make for the new year and a lovely way to refresh your home if it's something you're already considering.
Perfectly imperfect spaces are leading the way.
Think layered textures, natural materials and homes that feel relaxed and welcoming rather than being pristinely styled.
A woven, chunky carpet, rug or runner in a golden sisal or a faux look alike adds depth and comfort to any space.
Choose furniture that adds personality through expressive pops of colour, or by mixing old vintage finds with new high-quality pieces.
Lending a sense of calmness to the home, rounded furniture and organic forms help rooms feel fluid and welcoming. Echoing a gentler rhythm as we move into the colder season.
Think curved headboards, scalloped trims and round lamp shades, all elegant yet simple switches to add a sense of softness to our interiors.
