2026 DESIGN TRENDS AT A GLANCE | MSI

MSI’s Design Trends for 2026 include:

-     Light & Luster: Creamy ivory tones and softly luminous surfaces create a look that feels light and effortless.

-     Velvet Truffle: Rich brown tones accented by creamy neutrals and golden highlights create a palette rich in warmth and dimensional contrast.

-     Vintage Villa: Earth-driven hues—plum, green, slate blue, and muted terracotta—come together in a palette that bridges traditional character and modern design.

-     Willow Market: A pastel palette of washed blues and delicate greens is enriched with nuanced touches of jade, sage, and peach

-     Creamy beige, warm whites, and sand tones—soft, neutral bases that feel calm and timeless.

-     Subtle greens emerging as sophisticated neutrals in stone-look quartz designs.

-     Engineered stone/quartz with designs inspired by marble and quartzite.

2026 home design trends are emphasizing warmth, texture, and natural beauty, moving away from stark minimalism. Warm neutrals, tactile textiles, and bold, veined natural stone-look surfaces are becoming popular for creating depth and visual interest, especially in kitchens and baths. Overall, materials that feel authentic, expressive, and livable define the look of 2026 interior designs.

Yes—neutrals are still in style in 2026, but they’ve evolved into something richer and more expressive than flat beige or plain white. Today’s neutrals are all about depth, movement, and warm undertones, creating calm, layered spaces, such as the Taj Mahal Quartzite-inspired surfaces that are being seen more and more in countertops and beyond.

In 2026, flooring trends focus on warmth, scale, and performance, with wide-plank floors and large-format tiles creating clean, seamless foundations. Warm wood tones are replacing cool grays, while matte and satin finishes add a more natural, lived-in feel. Patterned layouts such as herringbone and chevron are gaining popularity for added character.
