Happy New Year! 6 Living Room Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2026- Better Homes & Gardens
Happy New Year! I am thrilled to share that I was featured as a contributing designer in Better Homes & Gardens’ latest trend forecast, “6 Living Room Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2026.” The article highlights the major interior design directions shaping living spaces in the year ahead — from bold color to sculptural furniture and personal storytelling through decor.
In the piece, I weigh in on one of the biggest shifts we’re seeing in living room design: the return of rich, moody, expressive color. After years of pared-back neutrals dominating our walls and upholstery, I predict that jewel tones and saturated hues will shape more soulful, intimate spaces in 2026. These vibrant colors have the power to make living rooms feel personal, inviting, and unmistakably yours — especially when balanced with warm neutrals and tactile surfaces like drapery and upholstery.
