From earthy colour palettes to swan motifs and lived-in kitchens, Vogue Scandinavia spoke to leading Nordic interior designers to uncover the key trends poised to define interiors in 2026
Trends in interior design can feel counterintuitive. They do exist, sure, yet their cycle is slower, more intentional, and more enduring than in fashion, for instance. Ask a top interior designer (like we did for this article), and they’ll likely encourage you to choose longevity over fleeting fads and to consider the bigger picture of what works best for your space and personal taste. After all, crafting and curating our interiors often involves time and investment.
That said, mapping out the key interior design trends poised to define the upcoming year can provide welcome inspiration for those refreshing their homes or offer a moment of escapism from the mundane. Moreover, interior design trends can reveal insights far less superficial than the first image the word ‘trend’ might spark, reflecting the way we live and the elements we long to surround ourselves in the places closest to our hearts: our homes.
Ahead, Vogue Scandinavia speaks to four leading Nordic interior designers to uncover the key trends they predict will dominate the scene in 2026, from colour palettes and materials to interior styles.
