Inspired Interior Design Trends 2026
After the parties are over and resolutions made, a new year settles in and style ideas form. At Julie Muscato Home & Gifts, this time of year revolves around the newest interior design trends that catch our eye.
The goal is always the same: spaces that feel personal, look stunning, and never sacrifice function. We’ve selected several interior design styles and accompanying window coverings that meet those objectives, and can't wait to tell you all bout them.
Transitional Interior Design Styles That Balance Classic and Current
Transitional design wins hearts by mixing traditional warmth with modern sensibility. Think neutral palettes paired with rich textures, upholstered pieces with simple silhouettes, and just enough pattern to spark interest. Two other key elements: varying metal finishes throughout a space, and quality furniture that takes precedence over quantity.
- Window Treatment Trends: Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades fit this balanced aesthetic nicely. This style offers two sheer fabrics, with soft fabric vanes sandwiched in between. The vanes filter light gently for a radiant glow — refined backdrops that let your furnishings shine.
Eclectic Interior Design Trends: Personal Style Celebration
Eclectic interiors are fun and creative, thriving on mixing periods, patterns, and personalities that somehow work together. You pair vintage finds with contemporary pieces, layer global textiles over neutral foundations, or build gallery walls that tell your story: Standard rules get bent in favor of what feels right.
- Window Treatment Trends: Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades blend a traditional, elegant profile with artisan appeal to eclectic spaces. These shades are made of organic materials that align with the eclectic philosophy of collecting pieces that matter. What window treatment trend could be more perfect for eclectic decor?
Minimalist Interior Design Trends Aren’t Fussy
Minimalist design cuts out everything that doesn't serve a purpose. You'll see lots of white, gray, black, and beige paired with furniture that has simple lines; stone and wood usher in warmth without the visual weight. Natural light does the heavy lifting here, brightening rooms while hidden storage keeps counters and tables bare.
- Window Treatment Trends: Designer Roller Shades are as minimal as window coverings get, with simple fabric panels available in an astonishing variety of fabrics. Pull them up, and they tuck inside headrails; lower them for smooth, even coverage for privacy or light blocking.
Mid-Century Modern Interior Design Styles Are Kind of Sexy
Mid-century modern design is all about organic curves, tapered legs, and bold geometric patterns that feel as relevant for 2026 as they did in the 1950s and '60s. We’re talking about statement lighting that acts as functional sculpture, wood furniture with impeccable craftsmanship, and pops of vibrant color drumming up neutral backgrounds.
- Custom drapes hit differently in mid-century rooms, so keep the hardware simple and let your fabric do the talking: We like saturated oranges, teals, or mustards that capture that classic '60s vibe, or go with a geometric print. Hang them floor-to-ceiling to play up those vertical lines that mid-century architecture is known for.
Coastal Interior Design Trends Capture Waterside Living
For 2026, coastal design has grown up from nautical clichés into something much more sophisticated. Today's version captures breezy, light-filled spaces with soft blues, warm whites, and sandy neutrals; these pair perfectly with natural materials like weathered wood, rattan, and linen.
- Window Treatment Trends: Heritance® Wood Shutters are custom-made from 100% hardwood poplar or basswood material, sustainably sourced from responsibly managed forests. They feature Truemill® dovetail construction and an Integra™ Finish, for exceptional durability, lasting luster, and an easy-care coating.
