When it comes to colour trends for the home, sometimes the comparison between one year and the next is as stark as can be, abandoning one style or shade we’d been obsessed with for one that’s the complete polar opposite. But the transitioning from 2025 to 2026 colour trends doesn’t feel or look like that at all – it’s more of a harmonious evolution or, in some cases, even just a continuation.
Over the course of the last couple of months, I’ve been talking to colour, paint and interior experts to give me the lowdown on the colour and paint trends set to define the fast-approaching new year. This time of year is the best time to speak to these all-knowing pros as most brands reveal their chosen colours of the year (also known as COTYs) for the coming year. It’s also the perfect time to start thinking about what you’d like your home’s colour palette for 2026 to look like.
