Last fall, our team predicted the design trends that would rise to the top in 2026. Throughout the year, we’ve been breaking down each trend on the blog. So far, we’ve discussed the influence of wellness culture, how homeowners foster a connection with nature, and color drenching in interior style. Today, we’re focusing on spaces designed for home recreation.
Our opinion? Long live hobbies! Balancing work and play is a hot topic for a reason: so many people are burnt out and craving fun in their lives. More and more homeowners are creating spaces for their passions, hobbies, and recreation. We’ve seen an increase in things like golf simulators, batting cages, pickleball courts, and, of course, sports courts. For those who aren’t as into breaking a sweat, game rooms, reading nooks, libraries, and craft rooms are also popular home additions. No matter what recreation or hobbies you pursue, it’s about designating a space that fosters joy and connection.
