Trends

Design trends are only useful when you can separate the ones with staying power from the ones that will look dated by next spring. This section tracks seasonal and annual direction in interiors — colours, materials, silhouettes, and the broader shifts behind them, drawn from trade shows, industry reports, and what brands are actually shipping. Every forecast comes with a durability judgment: whether a trend is a safe structural investment, like a finish or a layout idea, or a low-commitment accent you should be able to walk back cheaply. We'd rather talk you out of an expensive trend than into one. Read these alongside our style explainers — a trend only earns a place in your home if it works with the bones of the space and survives daily routine.
