The 4 color trends for 2026 that will instantly refresh your home

Is your interior in need of an update, but you don’t want to reinvent the wheel? WOOOD reveals the color trends for 2026 – plus tips on how to bring them into your own home. From serene shades of blue to lively olive greens, discover the four trends that will truly transform your living space.

1. Blue takes the spotlight – the serene showstopper

This year, Flexa is all about The Rhythm of Blues: a palette of three distinct tones, each with its own character. Blue is the color for anyone who wants their interior to breathe. It represents calm, connection, and a slower pace – exactly what we need in a world full of constant stimuli.

How to style it: Pair blue walls with natural materials – from light oak to deep walnut. For instance, combine the recycled-wood Jasmijn side tables with the sand-colored Pepper sofa. Together, they create a harmonious mix that complements blue beautifully, giving your home a sense of balance and tranquility.

2. Bold green-yellow – the refreshing twist

Green also takes the stage in 2026. Histor introduces Secret Safari: a soft olive-green shade with a subtle hint of lime. The result? A color that feels both gentle and confident. Perfect if you want something that stands out – without shouting for attention. This hue adds character to your space while keeping it calm and balanced.

How to style it: Combine green tones with wood and woven fabrics in soft sand shades for a relaxed, natural look. For example, pair a table or cabinet in Mist with the Marten dining chairs – a subtle mix that brings warmth and serenity to your space.

3. Earth tones – timeless and effortlessly practical

Terracotta, sand, and deep brown together form a cozy foundation that never goes out of style. These shades instantly add warmth and depth to your interior without feeling dull. They’re perfect if you want a timeless base that can easily adapt to changing accessories or seasonal accents.

How to style it: Pair earthy hues with touches of blue or green, or combine them with other warm tones from the same palette. Don’t be afraid to let these colors take center stage – think of a sofa, chair, or armchair in terracotta or warm rust brown, or add depth with dark wooden elements.

4. Pastels and accents for extra color and character

Soft pastel shades like mint green, salmon pink, and light blue give your interior a fresh and airy look without feeling overwhelming. Want to add more depth and a touch of luxury? Go for richer accent tones such as purple or honey yellow.

How to style it: Combine pastels with neutral base colors or earthy tones to create a balanced look. Ask yourself: Which space could use a bit more color, and which hue complements my current palette? You’ll see that playing with color adds excitement – and a cheerful vibe – to your home. Use accent colors like purple and honey yellow subtly, for instance in an armchair, side table, or decorative accessory.

Bringing the trends to life

Start with one base color that fits your style – think of a deep blue, soft olive green, or a warm earthy tone like terracotta. Then play with contrast: a light wall paired with darker furniture (or the other way around) instantly adds depth to your space. And don’t forget the power of texture. Natural materials enhance the sense of color while adding warmth and character. Think of a sturdy wooden coffee table, soft cushions and armchairs, or colorful accessories that add texture without creating clutter.
