Decorate like a designer in 2026! Here’s why trending but timeless ✨
Happy New Year, friends!
Can we talk about how January is basically a fresh start for everything—including our homes? I've been scrolling, saving, and swooning over what's trending in design right now, and honestly? I'm so here for where we're headed. These aren't those "what were we thinking?" trends we'll regret in three years. These are the good ones—the keepers.
Bold marbling that doesn't quit. We're seeing gorgeous marble extend from countertops right up the backsplash in kitchens and bathrooms, and it's giving, classic and adding that wow factor. The best part? It actually makes designing easier because you're not wrestling with a million tile samples at 9 PM on a Tuesday. One beautiful slab, infinite elegance.
Wood paneling, but make it rich. Dark, moody wood paneling is having a moment (when done right, it's timeless), but here's the thing—I get it if that feels like a big leap. Creamy white paneling isn't going anywhere, and it's the perfect way to add texture without the commitment jitters.
Ralph Lauren vibes forever. If you caught their Christmas campaign, you know. That classic Americana, cozy-but-polished aesthetic is everywhere right now, and I'm obsessed. I've been slowly adding plaids, wool throws, leather accents, and vintage furniture pieces to my own space, and it feels like coming home every single time. Timeless, warm, lived-in—yes, please.
Real hardwood floors for the win. Listen, I will die on this hill: hardwood floors are worth it. They're durable, healthier for your space, and they last forever (hello, sustainability!). Buy right or buy twice, right? And if you already have hardwood in part of your home, bring in a flooring specialist to match and extend it. Half the work is already done for you—you're basically already winning.
If any of these are calling your name (or if you just want to chat about what's possible in your space), I'm always here. Let's make 2026 the year your home feels exactly like you.
With love,
Courtney ✨
