They say home is where the heart is, but more often than not, home is where the chaos is. From clothes strewn across the floor (guilty) to bust boilers, there's seldom a shortage of house-induced issues to tackle. This seemingly never-ending stream of problems comes before we've even decided upon a home aesthetic. After all, our homeware picks should reflect our personal style and individuality - a fun yet daunting task.
Where to start? Well, according to Pinterest, 2026 is set to be the year of more. Expect circus-inspired home decor to take the stand, with bold stripes, sculptural silhouettes and a touch of clownish charm making for a playful, camp palette. Likewise, 2026 will bring a fusion of African and bohemian styles, with searches for “african boho living room” and “afro chic home decor” soaring on the platform. Make way for the vibrant Nigerian textiles and Ethiopian wall art alongside handwoven baskets and natural fibre rugs.
The maximalist glam does not stop there, with the Stranger Things-inspired theme of celestial aesthetics taking hold. Think holographic home accents and cosmic silhouettes straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Evidently, individuality is key - and who better to glean inspo from than the ever-growing circle of social media influencers? Influencers don’t just provide us with an abundance of wardrobe inspiration, many of them have beautiful homes to take notice of too. The clue is in the name.
