10 popular interior design styles for 2026 — and how to test them at home

Scandinavian, Japandi, industrial, bohemian and more — a guide to the most popular interior design styles of 2026 and how to try each in your own room with AI.

Finding the right interior style is half the job of decorating a home. Here are ten of the most popular interior design styles for 2026 — what defines each one and how to test it in your own room before you buy a thing.

1. Scandinavian

Still the most loved style in the Nordics: light woods, white and grey tones, clean lines and plenty of daylight. Functional, airy and timeless.

2. Japandi

A blend of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth. Natural materials, muted earthy colours and few but carefully chosen objects. Calm and balanced.

3. Industrial

Raw materials like concrete, metal and leather, often with exposed pipes and brick. Darker tones and a stripped-back, urban feel.

4. Bohemian (boho)

Colourful, personal and relaxed. Patterned textiles, plants, rattan and a deliberate mix of old and new.

5. Minimalist

"Less is more": few pieces, neutral colours and plenty of empty space. Calm, ordered and functional.

6. Country and New England

Bright, homely and classic. White panelling, natural materials and a warm, welcoming feel.

7. Mid-century modern

The design language of the 1950s and 60s: organic shapes, teak, angled legs and clear accent colours. Retro but timeless.

8. Maximalism

The opposite of minimalism: bold colours, patterns and lots of personality. For anyone who loves to express themselves through their home.

9. Coastal

Light blues and sandy tones, linen and natural materials. Summery, easy and relaxed all year round.

10. Classic and elegant

Symmetry, quality materials and timeless furniture. A stable, sophisticated base that lasts.
