It’s our favorite season again: time to predict next year's home design trends! In 2027, we forecast that homeowners will ditch minimalist style and make bold moves. From analog spaces for socializing to clashing patterns to hand-collected interiors, keep reading below for the home trends we think we’ll see more of in 2027!
Sculptural Lighting
Lights have always been an essential part of our homes. But because they’re so versatile, lighting styles ebb and flow with interior design trends. Today's homeowners favor artistic, sculptural lighting, often choosing form over function. From chandeliers to pendants to sconces to lamps, you can layer lighting in endless ways to express your taste and mimic artwork.
Analog & Social Spaces
As the world becomes increasingly digital, we all crave a refuge from the information overload. We predict a continued rise in analog home spaces, such as game parlors, book nooks, music rooms, keeping rooms, and screen-free socializing areas. Designed for coziness, relaxation, and connection, these places are a true refuge.
Polished Pantries
Pantries originated as hidden home storage, so this design trend is pretty ironic. In recent years, polished, statement-piece pantries have taken center stage in kitchen design. Often highly customized, these pantries aren’t just practical and organized; they’re also visually stunning with upgrades like glass doors, heirloom displays, or bold design flourishes!
Pattern Clashing
Minimalism had its moment, but maximalism is enjoying a major style resurgence! One way we’re seeing this trend show up in homes is through pattern clashing, layering prints, and mixing styles from different/seemingly conflicting eras. While this trend may sound messy, it’s about embracing bold choices, playing with contrast, and finding unique visual harmony.
Hand-Collected Interiors
No one wants to feel unoriginal - who’s craving a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all home? In 2027, homeowners are seeking the personal touch of hand-collected interiors. Instead of chasing after the new “it” furnishing or finish, owners are defining style on their own terms. This practice is a process, a slow gathering and curation of items that speak to you.
Embracing Whimsy
We could all use more joy in our lives, right? At its core, whimsy cultivates playfulness and curiosity. A whimsical home embraces imperfection for character and personality, so get ready to loosen up and relax the design rules. Rather than being static and stoic, whimsy creates lived-in spaces that tell your story, one room at a time.
