2026 Design Forecast: Nine Styles to Watch

Design today is no longer about choosing a lane, but about mastering a thoughtful balance. This year’s forecast is not a list of what’s “in” or “out.” It’s an exploration of nine ways design is evolving and why.

At the center of it all is a philosophy I call “Refined Layering”. It’s a way of designing that blends warmth and restraint, history and innovation, craft and comfort.

Nothing energizes me more than seeing an idea move Nothing energizes me more than seeing an idea move from sketch to installation ✨ Reflecting on our time at the @intlbuildersshow , it was incredibly rewarding to see the full @feeneyinc x Kerrie Kelly LaserCut Collection on display—a licensed collection we designed and developed hand-in-hand with Feeney Inc.!  Even more exciting? Watching designers begin to specify these patterns and bring them into their own projects. That’s when you know a collection is truly working—it moves beyond the booth and into the real world. (I’m looking at you @rmd_designs @ @john_cialone! 😉)  Licensed collections are one of my favorite ways to collaborate with brands—translating designer concepts into something tangible that lives on in the real world. And this is just the beginning–installations are starting to roll in, and I can’t wait to share what’s next.  #LicensedDesign #DesignCollaboration #IBSShow #InteriorDesign
Still reliving the energy of #DCW2026—and honestly Still reliving the energy of #DCW2026—and honestly, still feeling inspired. ✨  From bold materials to thoughtful details, this year’s show floor revealed something bigger happening in design: a shift toward the humanization of materials with products designed to connect with how we actually live. We captured the moments, the movement, and the magic—and distilled it all into 7 key shifts shaping the future of the whole home. This reel captures a few notable highlights, but #ICYMI, don’t miss our KBIS 2026 Trend Report linked in our bio!  Curious—what was your biggest takeaway from the show floor this year? Let me know👇  #InteriorDesign #NKBA #KBIS
