In 2026, we celebrate the marriage of styles to create a setting that tells our story.
The atmospheres are more refined, giving way to gentle contrasts. Raw materials, handmade pieces, and textured objects make their way into our interiors, bringing warmth and authenticity. It’s time to hunt for treasures in flea markets, rediscover travel souvenirs, or highlight the gems of yesteryear.
Where to start?
Find a key object (lamp, table, vase, pottery, canvas, patterned tiles, or rug) and build your theme around it—without overloading the space.

Two styles stand out from the crowd and blend perfectly with their rustic and artisanal charm: wabi-sabi and chic nomad.
These two aesthetic and philosophical concepts have been influencing design and interior décor trends for about a decade. In 2026, they are expected to inspire specific choices in colors, materials, and the design of living spaces.
The Wabi-Sabi 2.0
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection, simplicity and nature.

Key elements of this style include:
1. Colors: Natural and earthy hues take center stage — ochres, soft textile whites like linen and cotton, sandy beiges, pink sepias, warm browns, gentle greens, soft greys, and blue-grays inspired by nature. This palette evokes a sense of serenity and connection with the environment.

In 2026, we also dare to use matte black to add depth.
Whether on walls, accessories, or floors, this black soothes the eye and enhances the shades, faux finishes, and textures of the surrounding décor.

2. Materials: Raw and natural materials such as wood, stone, clay, and linen take center stage.Unique textures and organic finishes are essential to evoke authenticity and rustic charm.

However, some raw materials are less suitable for our climate.
That’s why porcelain tiles are a more economical and durable option. Thanks to their moisture resistance, tiles are an ideal choice for bathrooms, entryways, kitchens, and laundry rooms. They also make it possible to incorporate plants that thrive in high humidity into our interiors.

3. Floors: For the wabi-sabi style, a raw wood floor with visible imperfections and the marks of time would be ideal. However, such floors are hard to find—unless you’re lucky enough to live in an ancestral home.

To achieve that look without breaking the bank, vinyl click or engineered wood offers a durable and resilient way to bring the raw wood aesthetic into your décor. Oak, with its pronounced grain, is perfectly suited to create a rustic effect in your space.
Alternatives such as laminate or porcelain flooring with a wood, concrete, or natural stone look can also help create a warm atmosphere at a lower cost.

The Chic Nomad
The chic nomad style, on the other hand, evokes an aesthetic inspired by travel, eclecticism, and a mix of cultures.
Typical elements of this trend include:
1. Colors: Bright, rich tones are often paired with softer, neutral shades. Hues such as terracotta, turquoise through emerald green, or patterns inspired by ethnic textiles bring warmth and vitality. Black and white remain versatile accents when presented with nuance or texture.

2. Materials: This style incorporates a variety of materials, including wool and cotton textiles, aged leather, and handcrafted elements. Decorative objects such as Berber rugs, antique-patterned tiles, indigenous masks, cushions with graphic patterns, rattan, wrought iron, or oriental-style lamps are perfectly suited to this aesthetic.

3. Walls and Floors: Walls or floors made of brick, rough stone, reclaimed wood, or modern alternatives such as textured, aged cement tiles can strongly enhance the nomadic aesthetic.

And the nomad also refers to the French countryside, the Texan style or the indigenous ones. We can travel everywhere and even at home!

In 2026, the blend of wabi-sabi and chic nomad could give rise to warm, welcoming interiors, where imperfection and eclecticism coexist in harmony.
Expect spaces that combine raw and natural materials, accents of vibrant colors, and decorative elements from diverse cultures, all set against soothing, natural backgrounds.
The balance between these two styles creates environments that are peaceful, inspiring, and full of character, reflecting an increasingly connected world that respects different traditions.
