From rich colour and artisanal materials to a stronger focus on wellbeing and individuality, interiors are becoming warmer, more layered and personal. We asked The House Directory members to share the ideas and influences they see shaping the new season – and taking us into 2027.

Anouska Tamony, Founder & Creative Director, Anouska Tamony Interiors

I think we’ll see a continued move towards interiors that have a sense of place yet are culturally outward looking. British decorating has always absorbed influences from elsewhere and today, our homes increasingly reflect the places we’ve travelled, the cultures we’ve encountered and the different craft traditions we’re drawn to. I’m interested in seeing these references layered rather than themed: a very British architectural setting might bring together British makers with textiles, patterns and forms influenced by Asia, Europe or further afield. The result feels much more personal and difficult to categorise which to me is far more interesting than following a single prescribed aesthetic. anouskatamony.com

Regarding trends, I’ve never been one to follow them, in fact I don’t even know them, and I don’t think they should dictate how we approach our homes. The key to finding your personal style is to get over the fear of interior design. You need to take risks – if you always stay in the middle lane, you will end up with a design that might be pleasant but will have very little personality. For me, good design is about individuality, instinct and creating a home with character – choosing things because you genuinely love them, rather than simply because they happen to be fashionable at any given moment. Do what you like and what makes you happy. paolomoschino.com

Emma Hooton, Design Director, Studio Hooton

At Studio Hooton, we think the year ahead is all about weighty, rich colour – deep rust, burnt orange, and faded terracotta reds, the kind of tones you find in antique textiles. Set against limewashed or warm toned plastered walls, they bring a layered warmth to a space. It’s a shift away from the pale, pared-back palettes of recent years towards enveloping comfort, particularly in spaces where classic mixes with contemporary. studiohooton.com

Helen Bygraves Co-Founder & Creative Director, Hill House Interiors

One of the most significant shifts we’re seeing is the move towards homes that actively support and prioritise wellbeing. Luxury is becoming less about what a home has and more about how it makes people feel. While dedicated wellness spaces remain important, the focus is increasingly on creating environments that feel restorative as a whole – through natural light, stronger connections to nature, thoughtful flow and moments of calm. We’re also seeing a growing desire to disconnect. As daily life becomes increasingly fast-paced and digitally driven, clients are placing greater value on technology-free spaces that encourage rest, reflection and genuine downtime. Looking ahead, we expect wellbeing to continue shaping luxury residential design, with the most desirable homes offering not just beauty, but a greater sense of balance, sanctuary and quality of life. hillhouseinteriors.com

Lindi Reynolds, Founder, Lindi Reynolds & Co

Our approach to trends is to be conscious of them so we can work with the ones which strike a chord, the others we let sail past without getting too side tracked. That said, this season the primary trends to emerge address our need to escape from the pulls and pushes of life, as our homes evolve as bastions of calm and refuge. One trend to take note of is the curve, which is soft, gracious and easier to live with than right angles. Curved pieces are more complex to construct and so usually come with a price tag, but they can make a world of difference to small spaces. lindireynolds.co.uk

Bespoke, tonal stonework is set to be a significant material trend in the year ahead, and this entrance floor makes the case well. Cut in two limestone tones and laid in an elongated, faceted basketweave rather than a conventional brick or herringbone format, each tile has tumbled edges that gives the surface a reclaimed, tactile quality. The restrained palette allows the pattern itself to create visual interest at floor level, leaving the walls and light fittings to introduce colour. christianakehrer.com

Charlotte Crossland, Founder, Charlotte Crossland Interiors

One of the defining shifts in lighting design for the upcoming season is the move away from rigid forms towards a more relaxed, artisanal aesthetic. I’m especially looking forward to seeing how natural materials like jute, woven rattan, and dried grasses are reimagined. This trend perfectly merges the enduring desire for sustainable materials with a playful and creative new application. charlottecrosland.com

Dani Neville, Founder, Dani Neville Design

In 2027, I feel there will be a continuation of the need to create personality-driven spaces that are rich and tactile. Rather than chasing trends, priorities will be comfort, longevity and spaces that feel truly personal, with people wanting their interiors to be liveable, individual, expressive and lived-in. There will also be a strong connection to wellbeing, with earthy hues that feel calm and grounding, and layered, natural materials that bring a sense of warmth to a room. I adore warm, muddier hues – dirty pinks, burnt yellows, deep, rich greens and aubergine purples. daninevilledesign.com

Viewed together, these perspectives offer less a rulebook for the new season than an invitation to design with greater confidence and conviction, guided not by a prescribed aesthetic but by individual taste and the way we really live.
