Design trends come and go, and as we gear up to welcome a new year, we get ready to welcome new aesthetics, too. Luckily, there are a few interior design experts who partner with HomeGoods who have insight as to what a few new trends are expected to be.

A few of these trends were already a part of the trends for 2025, which is good news if you’re behind on renovating your home!

Whether you’re planning on updating your home to reflect your current style or looking to stay ahead of the curve, here are five home decor trends from HomeGoods that are coming in 2026.

Modern Equestrian Elegance

This trend has slowly started creeping in already, but Reimold says it’s going to totally take over interior design next year. Inspired by the timeless charm of the countryside, she says this look blends rustic equestrian touches with a refined, modern sensibility.

“Think rich leather chairs, plaid textiles, and dark wood pieces that bring both warmth and sophistication,” she says. “Affordable HomeGoods finds like textured throw blankets, plaid pillows, or leather storage boxes make it easy to capture that inviting, collected feel.”

To bring this style into your home, Reimold says to start with cozy neutrals before layering in a standout art piece and finishing with aged brass or antique gold lighting.

Refined American Revival

There’s definitely a theme with next year’s expected home decor trends, and it’s all centered around revisiting the past to present it in a stylish way that feels modern. Another expected trend, Reimold says, we’ll see is a new, nostalgic wave of American style.

“It’s a mix of heritage patterns, denim blues, and hand-stitched details paired with modern lighting and clean lines,” she says. “Picture a country home with a city edge filled with decor that feels both timeworn and timeless.”

For specific HomeGoods pieces you can use to bring this style to life, Reimold suggests looking for finds like denim-inspired lamps, antique-style brass sconces, distressed farmhouse benches, and patterned linen napkins.

Back to The Beauty of Natural Living

This is another style that has been making its way into interior design trends, especially in the form of unpainted cabinetry. But for 2026, Reimold says the focus on materials is going to be real wood and natural textures to bring depth and authenticity back into the home for a timeless foundation. She says,

“The focus is on materials that age gracefully and feel handcrafted rather than manufactured,” she says. “To bring this look to life easily, layer in HomeGoods finds like handwoven baskets for storage, stone vases and rattan trays for natural tabletop styling, and wooden candleholders for a soft, ambient glow.”

Contemporary Classicism

One of the biggest design trends that The Brownstone Boys Barry and Jordan say is coming next year is homes that feel storied and personal. Barry and Jordan say this style is all about mixing timeless materials and shapes with fresh, modern accents.

“Think: the charm of a brownstone parlor with the playfulness of contemporary color and form. To successfully integrate this look into your space, layer history and modernity, like turned-leg tables or carved frames paired with sculptural lighting, colorful textiles, or abstract art.”

Color Drenching

Color drenching is a trend designers wanted more people to try this year, and according to Carmona, more homes are expected to see this in 2026. Though she says color drenching came this year in the form of an entire room, Carmona says this trend is expanding next year to furniture, textiles, and accents—so, instead of leaning on paint, turn to your decor!

“I always turn to my local HomeGoods for an affordable variety of everything from armchairs and ottomans in tonal fabrics to linen curtains, ceramic vases, and patterned rugs for a seamlessly saturated look.”

Carmona also says that rather than matching shades perfectly, focus on pieces within the same color family to build visual harmony and depth.

The point of this trend is to go beyond the 60-30-10 rule in design, where 60% of a room’s color comes from dominant elements like walls, 30% from secondary pieces like furniture, and 10% from smaller accents. Next year, expand the 60% to 70% or 80%.
