Even though we’re still in the middle of summer and most of us are bracing for another heatwave ahead of next week, my email inbox is already filling with autumn lookbooks. I got an early look at the upcoming collections from the likes of John Lewis, Habitat, Very and Dunelm – and there is a clear autumn 2026 colour palette all of them have in common.
As Ideal Home’s Room Decor Editor, it’s part of my job to identify new home decor and colour trends. While there are usually commonalities I can spot across different collections, the lookbooks that have landed in my inbox thus far and the collections I’ve seen IRL have had a very similar look - colour-loving Scandi meets 70s with pattern aplenty - as well as a consistent colour scheme. So much so that I wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking all the images here came from the same brand and the same collection.
