What does an Interior Designer Tunbridge Wells think the key 2026 colour trends will be?

As we enter the month of September, we’re beginning to look ahead to 2026 and what the year has in store in terms of colour and interior trends and it’s looking pretty exciting! 2025 has been about warm nature-inspired colour palettes, along with butter yellow and burgundy reds for a richer aesthetic. We’re already busy planning schemes for next year, and although colour is a personal preference, and we like to create timeless schemes that will stand the test of time, we also do like to add a hint of trend into our schemes to bring spaces to life. So, what does an Interior Designer in Tunbridge Wells think is in store for 2026?

Tremendous Teal

Predicted to be on-trend by forecasters WGSN, teal looks set to be big in 2026. It’s a colour we love to use, whether opting for a bold sofa, or adding in hints of this decadent shade via soft furnishings, teal is guaranteed to bring a sense of cosy opulence into your home. Here are a few beautiful teal accessories to freshen up your home:

Cinnamon

The perfect contrasting shade to terracotta is cinnamon, says Olivia Ruckley, Interior Designer Tunbridge Wells. The combination of these two colours will really make a scheme pop. We’ve included some of these glorious colour combinations below for inspiration on how to incorporate this on-trend combo into your abode:

Pale Blue

We’ve recently had the pleasure of adding this hot new shade to a client’s kitchen in Kent. Our client wanted an uplifting refresh, and we think this shade brings an on-trend update to this classically styled country home, says Olivia Ruckley Interior Designer Tunbridge Wells. Expect to see it adorn the walls of kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces in 2026.

Muddy Greens

Sticking with the earthy hues of teal and cinnamon, muddy greens look set to take centre stage next year. Seen as a bit of a neutral as it’s an easy shade to combine many colours with. Earthy greens bring depth, drama and elegance into the home, simply pair with whites to lift the space, or be bold and combine with rich shades of brass for a daring and bold aesthetic that works in any period of home.
