The 46 Biggest 2027 Home Decor Trends (Plus, 5 that are on their way out)

Like fast fashion, home decor trends change quickly these days. Decades ago, people would redecorate their homes once every few decades (or just decorate them once and then never again). Now it seems like there’s a new style every four or five years.

Of course, that doesn’t mean we should abandon our current decorating styles and start from scratch any time there’s a new home decorating trend on the horizon. That would expensive, time consuming and wasteful. Instead, like in fashion, it’s better to embrace the trends that suit your style and leave the rest. If something doesn’t feel like “you,” skip it. No need to go full fashion victim, here.

Personally, I like to pick and choose a couple of small ways to update my home each year or two, like with throw pillows, a piece of art, an area rug or a new paint color, so things feel fresh and current. But, I never redesign my home entirely according to a new trend (again, because they come and go so quickly nowadays).

So what are the trends going to be for 2027? Is farmhouse going out of style? Are green walls still going to be everywhere? What are the kitchen trends to avoid?

After writing about interior design for more than 15 years, I’ve been conditioned to spot trends, and I love figuring out what’s next. So, I’ve gathered together all of the new looks that I’ve seen emerging for 2027, from fresh patterns and colors that we’ll all gravitate toward, to new ways of shopping that are more sustainable, and rounded them up for you, below.

Also, I wanted to shoutout design guru Maria Killam, for calling this home decor trend roundup “the best trend round up I’ve read in years!” I hope you find it as insightful as she did.

One final tip – this is a long one, so use the Table of Contents to help navigate it.

The biggest home decor trends for 2027

Because there are so many trends happening right now, I’ve broken them down into a few categories

First, I did an overview of the macro-trends. These are the overarching style-shifts that drive all of the smaller, micro trends. Then, I broke this post down into:

• Color and material trends for surfaces like walls, floors, countertops, etc.
• Furniture and decor trends, including materials, styles and patterns
• Kitchen trends for cabinets, backsplashes, lighting and more

The Overall Vibe of Home Decor Trends for 2027

Every 10-15 years we undergo a major shift in the macro trends that influence decorating. These are the big trends that dictate many of the smaller trends we see. Think: Modern Farmhouse/Farmhouse, Shabby Chic and the late 90s/early 2000sTuscan kitchen trend. These trends tend to start with designers and influencers in the first few years, then become mass-market home trends in the following 5-10 years.

Around 2020, we started the beginning of a new macro trend, as the farmhouse craze started to fade and we all looked for something with more warmth and depth.

That’s manifested in the Modern Cottage/English Country trend, and a turn towards all things British-inspired, and even Victorian. This means we’re using deeper paint colors on the walls, embracing small, cozy spaces, and plastering our homes with pattern. Wood tones are deeper, finishes are living, and things are imperfect.

This trend is literally influencing 80 percent or so of what I’m seeing in the mass-market decorating trends.

The other big trends that seems to be bubbling up right now share similarly traditional underpinnings: Those would be the Nancy Meyers aesthetic, which makes sense since there’s a big 90s revival in culture in general right now, and many of her iconic homes, like the Father of the Bride house, have that 90s warmth. It’s weird to call this a trend since Nancy Meyers rooms are timeless, but timeless seems to be on-trend right now. The other ones are the more bohemian take on the look, Cottagecore, and the more masculine/preppy take, AKA the Ralph Lauren aesthetic.

With that in mind, here are some of the mico-trends, or smaller elements, that these bigger trend shifts are influencing:

Wall Trends

Walls and the way we style them are a major foundation of overall home design. They quite literally set the scene for the room, and our preference for what to do with them changes every decade or so. The grays, bright whites and shiplap that defined the 2010s have given way to much bolder looks, like:

Rich, Saturated Colors

Home color trends are leaning towards saturated wall colors that are deep, rich and bold. Berries, slates, espressos and olives that ensure the walls underscore the room’s design scheme instead of simply fading into the background.

Nearly every major paint brand that has announced a Color of the Year for 2027 has chosen a saturated shade. Benjamin Moore picked Webster Green, a sophisticated Kelly green color, on the heels of it’s 2026 pick, the espresso-toned Silhouette. Behr chose Grounded, a mossy olive green shade that’s almost a cross between Webster Green and Silhouette. Glidden picked Artifact, a slate blue.

If color makes you nervous, try dipping your toe in with smaller spaces, like powder rooms, walk-in-closets and laundry rooms.

Warm Neutrals

Cool gray tones are officially dated, and beige is making a comeback. Tones that border on beige and greige are the soft neutral of choice, while bolder neutrals are leaning mushroom or chocolate brown.

Color-Drenching

The color-drenching trend (or painting walls, trim and ceilings all one color) has been around for a few years now, and it means that ceilings, trim, and window casings are getting a splash of color, too. So if you’re planning to paint this year, consider making the entire room, from floor-to-ceiling, that same color.

Traditional Architectural Detail

Shiplap spurned an interest in wall paneling and trim years ago, and since then the look has evolved to more traditional styles like picture-frame molding and elaborate crown molding, and the farmhouse-inspired board-and-batten paneling (like in my entry above). I love this look because it makes an entire room feel more bespoke.

Perhaps the darling of the wall trim world right now is beadboard and tongue-and-groove paneling. We’ve turned shiplap on its side! Classic beadboard is coming back as both a kitchen backsplash material, and a wall trim idea.

Statement Wallpaper

Bold wallpaper continues to be a must-have wall treatment this year, and the more traditional it looks, the better. Think: botanicals, block prints, and ticking stripes. Look to brands like Sanderson, Sandberg, Kravet and Schumacher for the best selection.

Another big, bold wallpaper trends is mural-style wallpaper, like the kind above in the home of Julia Marcum. It’s another expression of the turn towards traditional design.

Wallpaper With Painted Trimwork

Wallpaper is more frequently being combined with color-drenched trimwork, like picture frame moulding and chair rails, or board and batten. The results is a custom, layered look that sets the tone for the rest of the space.

Furniture & Decor Trends

Plate Walls

This is something I would have never imagined calling “trendy” 10 years ago, but here we are. Straight from your favorite Nancy Meyers movie, plate walls are already everywhere, and only going to become more popular.

Vintage and Antique Furniture

There are SO many reasons that secondhand, vintage and antique furnishings will be big this year.

For one, it works perfectly for creating the traditional, English Country, Nancy Meyers aesthetics that are so popular right now.

Plus, it’s also more eco-friendly and sustainable. There is so much stuff already in the world, why not repurpose it or give it new life instead of buying something new?

Thanks to Facebook marketplace, Etsy, etc, it’s also easier than ever to find pre-loved and vintage pieces.

Dark Wood Tones

Keeping in line with a turn towards antiques, dark wood tones like mahogany and teak are taking a seat at the trend table alongside the pale wood tones that have been popular in recent years.

Freestanding Hutches and Welsh Dressers

Freestanding hutches, antique china cabinets, and traditional Welsh dressers are making a comeback, especially in kitchens and dining rooms. Unlike built-in cabinetry, these pieces give a space a more collected, furniture-filled feel, while offering a place to display everything from everyday dishes to vintage glassware and ceramics. I’m particularly drawn to antique wood versions, which add warmth and character to a room, but painted hutches can be equally charming.

Analog Spaces and Game Tables

As more of our lives revolve around screens, there’s a growing interest in creating spaces at home that encourage us to unplug. Reading nooks, small libraries, and dedicated mahjong tables are all part of the trend, as are cozy corners designed for hobbies, puzzles, and other offline activities.

Vintage Artwork and Textile Wall Hangings

Vintage and antique-looking artwork is having a moment. Even better if it’s propped up on your kitchen counter or taking center stage in an otherwise contemporary living room. A few subjects that are particularly on-trend: forest landscapes (landscape paintings could almost be a trend in and of themselves), oil portraits, and dark, moody still lifes.

I’m also seeing more antique tapestries and other textile art, from framed needlepoint to vintage fabric panels, used in place of traditional paintings and prints. It’s all part of the move toward more layered, collected interiors, and it’s a trend I’ve gotten on board with big time in my own home.

Skirted & Fringe Furniture

Going along with a trend toward traditionalism, skirted furniture has made a resurgence. The skirting ranges from classic ruffles, to more tailored box-pleats and fun fringes.

Patterned Sofas & Chairs

The patterned sofa, like this Anthropologie version above, is another vintage-inspired sofa trends that’s making a comeback, particularly botanical prints and stripes.

Polished Silver Accessories

I love brass and always will, but lately, I’ve also been eyeing (and buying) a lot of vintage and polished silver. Again, I chalk this up to our collective longing to live in a house from our favorite Diane Keaton movie (Father of the Bride!), and classic silver accessories are a part of the vibe.

Decorative Lamp Shades

The maximalist themes of this year’s home decorating trends have even reached smaller details like lampshades. We’re seeing more cone-styles, pleated and patterned shades, and textured materials like rattan. Swapping out a lampshade is a great an inexpensive way to update an old lamp.

Pattern & Textile Trends

Tapestry Upholstery

Tapestry-inspired fabrics are making a comeback, bringing an old-world, collected feel to interiors. Think intricate woven florals, pastoral scenes, and traditional patterns in rich, muted colors (like on the throw pillow above). While I’m seeing tapestry fabrics used on everything from upholstered chairs to ottomans, the trend is especially big for throw pillows and bedding, where it’s an easy way to add pattern, texture, and a little vintage charm without committing to a major piece of furniture.

Plaid & Stripes

Menswear-inspired patterns like plaids and stripe are always sort of in style in some form or another. But for the next few years they’re going to be even bigger than usual. We’ll see them across wallpaper, furniture, throw pillows and textiles, dishware, and more.

Chintz and Heritage Floral

Whoooo would have every guessed that chintz an ditsy florals would return to their place as the pinnacle of fashion in 2027? These 90s staples, both characterized by allover floral patterns, are the must have prints for textiles an wallpaper. Block-print florals, and William Morris designs are all big.

5 Home decor trends that are Fading

Of course, there will also be some trends that will see their last leg in 2027. Here are a few overall aesthetics I think we will start to move away from this year. I call them:

1. The Faux farmhouse, or “Gather” look

For lack of a better word, I’m going to call this look “gather.” You know, the kind of style that’s based around a “gather” sign in a scrolling handwriting font. It’s the OG take on the farmhouse look, and arguably one of the biggest home decor trends of the last 50 years.

But, please. Don’t do this look in 2027. If you want to update your farmhouse style for this year, ditch any sign you have hanging in your home that points to where the market is or advertises fresh milk, and any furniture that’s faux-distressed finished. Instead, think about ways to mix in more on-trend pieces into your style. Think landscape oil paintings, authentic antiques or vintage finds, and primitive-style pottery.

2. Midcentury overload

Midcentury is a classic look in its own right, but for the last ten years or so, it was THE way to do modern. Meaning, entire rooms were decorated like a midcentury museum exhibit. The look is tired, and a bit boring, which midcentury should never be. Going forward, midcentury furniture will be a piece of the puzzle in a room – a chair or a piece of art mixed with traditional or contemporary styles.

3. Black hardware & black windows.

Black hardware and windows are a product of the farmhouse trend. If you’re about to do a renovation or are building a home, skip the black windows. It’s started to feel just a little bit tired (unless it’s in a home where the black is authentic, like a Mediterranean-style or classic Tudor). Windows are super expensive to replace, so it’s best to go with something timeless.

4. Gray-toned wood floors.

Gray-toned wood floors became really, really trendy around 2015, and they stayed that way for about three years, but this trend is already dying out. Not only is gray, as a color, going out of style but more homeowners and designers are realizing that the color just isn’t right. Wood floors are beautiful because they’re a natural material, and adding a gray colorwash over this natural material is just, well, unnatural.

Skip this fading trend and go for something timeless, like a mid-toned brown or pale pine.

5. Gray-on-gray decor

Speaking of gray, we’ve abandoned the stark gray and white looks that were popular in the 2010s for warmer earth tones. Gray is still very much a part of a contemporary home, but just in warmer hues.

How long do home decor trends last?

Generally, in both home decor and fashion, major trends last about 10 years. Major trends are things like the neutral of the moment: In the 2010s, it was all gray everything. Now, it’s all about brown and beige. Smaller trends, like specific patterns, or throw pillow styles, or uber-trendy wall art, have a shorter lifespan, about 3-5 years.
