2027 Design Shift

Designers predict 2027 will focus on comfort and authenticity rather than fleeting trends.

Analogue Spaces

Game rooms and book nooks provide screen-free escapes for relaxation and play.

“The homeowner had extra space on their main floor that they weren't sure how to use”

Layered Tonal Schemes

Brown color palettes create warm, calming spaces through textured finishes and subtle gradients.

“We worked closely with our client to create a sophisticated yet intimate atmosphere”

Polished Pantries

Pantries are becoming prominent kitchen features with colorful accents and strategic lighting.

“This pantry is within the kitchen of an open-plan dining and sitting room extension”

Pale Greens as Neutral

Sage and mint greens offer subtle, grounding tones that blend with layered textures.

“Firstly, we try to use paint colors that are slightly "to left or right of the known color"”

Comfortable Cooking Spaces

Kitchens become social hubs with seating, textiles, and collections for family interaction.

“We discussed the idea of being able to relax and chat in the kitchen whilst one partner was doing the cooking”

Colorful Storage

Bookshelves feature vibrant Farrow & Ball colors to add energy without overwhelming spaces.

“I used this color (Charlotte's Locks by Farrow & Ball) to punch through the more traditional colors”

Pattern-Clashing

Toile de Jouy and floral jacquard create harmonious, layered living spaces.

“I wanted the pattern to be the 'hero' of the space that your eye is drawn to”

Found Luxury

Interiors filled with historically significant objects develop character through time.

“Found luxury keeps that appreciation for craftsmanship but introduces greater individuality”

Old-Fashioned Details

Fringe, pleats, and tassels return as characterful additions to modern homes.

“We are big on balance... natural hemp fringe on this sofa”

Casual Silhouettes

Low-slung furniture and curved-back chairs replace rigid, traditional styles.

“Informal daybeds have officially returned, and curved-back armchairs designed to be slumped in”

2027 Design Philosophy

Comfort-focused interiors prioritize lived-in character over fleeting aesthetics.

“The kitchen should feel as decorated and as considered as the other rooms in the house”

What's Next

Designers will continue emphasizing authentic, comfortable living spaces that evolve with owners.

“A 'found' interior is never fully finished - it evolves over time”

The Shift

2027 design moves from trend-driven spaces to spaces that reflect personal stories and character.

“Using color in shelving and joinery can really lift a space”

Key Trend

Comfort, authenticity, and timeless design become the new priorities for home interiors.

“Designers are all for this shift in mindset”

The Future

2027 homes will prioritize personal comfort and character over fleeting aesthetic trends.
