Designers across the industry agree: 2026 is the year furniture gets its personality back. Based on predictions from top interior designers featured in The Spruce, ELLE Decor, Good Housekeeping, Houzz, and La-Z-Boy’s very own interior designers, these are the biggest furniture trends defining the year:
- Character-driven furniture that reflects your personal story, not someone else’s Pinterest board
- Soft, curved silhouettes replacing sharp angular lines across sofas, chairs, and tables
- Quality craftsmanship and heirloom-worthy construction over disposable, mass-produced pieces
- Warm tones and rich woods like walnut, ochre, olive green, and caramel replacing cool grays
- Comfort-first design with deep cushions, generous proportions, and plush fabrics
- Vintage and collected pieces mixed with new furniture for rooms that feel layered and lived-in
