YOGYAKARTA - Entering the new year, the interior trend of the 2026 house is known to move in a more personal, warm, and character-oriented direction. After being dominated by a neutral minimalist style for many years, the house is not only a functional place to live, but also an identity and provides an emotional effect to its occupants.

An expert in interior design and color, Maria Killam and reports on trends from Yelp, photographed this major change from color choices, materials, to room composition. Check out the full review below.

Home Interior Trends 2026

Through her YouTube video, Interior Design and Color Expert, Maria Killam, predicts a major shift in home interior trends in 2026, especially in colors, materials, and the overall style of the house. Below are the points that Maria mentioned in the video:

Furniture and Wood Accent Back on the Rise

Dark wood tones such as cherry, mahogany, and walnut replace the trend of light-colored or bleached wood. This more natural wood color creates a warm and luxurious atmosphere, in line with the trend of interiors that are visually more "full".

Natural Stone Material

Materials such as Quartzite Natural Stone are predicted to be increasingly popular for countertops and kitchen surfaces. Which is the best between marble and quartzite? Maria suggests choosing quartzite because of its acid-resistant, durable, and easy-to-care properties.

Green as the New Neutral Color

Green colors, ranging from herbal green, sage green, to olive green, are expected to appear in various elements such as cabinets, furniture, to walls. If you want a more flexible end result, you can choose a combination of green colors.

However, Maria suggests choosing the right tone of color so that the permanent interior can last a long time and not just follow trends.

New Tuscan Style

The New Tuscan style that combines handcrafted furniture, rich textures, and medieval classic elements will be popular again in a lighter and more modern version. Decorations such as tapestries and wrought iron accents are also expected to make a comeback.

Burgundy, Rusty, and the "Warm" Color

Dark red, dusty pink, to terracotta nuances are also increasingly in demand. These colors give birth to a warm and elegant earth impression, suitable for gathering spaces such as family rooms and dining rooms.

Overall, Maria suggests choosing durable interior elements, because a house is a long-term investment, not just following a momentary trend that will change every year.

Personal Expression & Space Functionality

Data and trends from Yelp on home improvement projects highlight an increased interest in homes that are increasingly personal, artistic, and provide space for mental health. Some of the trends that will stand out include:

Photo Gallery

Homeowners will show more photos, illustrations, vintage posters, and personal collections that are mounted on the walls of the house. Special photo frames and arrangements are arranged in such a way that the room feels unique and full of stories.

Stairs as an Artistic Element

Stairs, which have previously escaped observation, are now the center of attention. At this time, stairs can be given accents such as carpets with vintage motifs or repainted with contrasting colors so as to turn them into the main decorative element.

Vintage Bathroom but Modern

The combination of vintage elements, such as a pedestal sink using brass material, with a minimalist bathroom ceramic arrangement can create a warm, elegant, and timeless bathroom.

Floor Motif Game

Zellige tiles, terracotta, mosaics, and geometric patterns are also preferred to enrich the visual character of the house.

Sports Room at Home

Many people are making their own fitness room at home at this time. Even though the area is small, it is not a problem, the most important thing is that they can exercise to maintain mental health and fitness. A reflection of a more mindful lifestyle change.

That's the review of the 2026 home interior trends according to several experts. Visit VOI.id for other interesting information.
