Hi friends — Charly here! If you’re thinking “I’d love to refresh my space,” or maybe prepping to sell and want your home to shine, here’s what the design world says will be in for 2026. Think earthy, warm and comfortable with a splash of chic.
Vibe Check: Bye-bye cold grays; hello warm greige, clay and nature tones.
What the Big Brands Are Picking:
• Benjamin Moore — Silhouette (rich espresso-charcoal) for 2026.
• Sherwin-Williams — Universal Khaki (soft tan-beige) for 2026.
• Dulux — “Rhythm of Blues” trio (Mellow Flow, Free Groove, Slow Swing) reflecting depth and calm.How You Can Use These at Home:
• Wall overhaul: choose one of the trending neutrals (like Universal Khaki) to refresh your main space.
• Accent focus: use a richer tone (like Silhouette) on a feature wall, cabinetry or shelving.
• Statement pieces: incorporate one of the blue-tones from Dulux in a smaller area (entry, powder room) for a subtle wow.Bonus Tip:
Pair these colours with natural textures (wood, stone, linen) and warm metallics (brass, bronze) for a cohesive look. Skip ultra-cool whites and stark greys — the warm era is officially here.
