Interior Design Trends Shaping 2026

2026 has arrived, and with it comes a new wave of interior design trends that will shape how we live in and design spaces. At the heart of these emerging design trends is a renewed appreciation for natural stone, a timeless material that offers luxury, beauty, and versatility.

The spaces that we live, work, and unwind in are our sanctuaries, places that should inspire, offer calm, and endure. Thoughtful design delivers interiors that feel on trend yet timeless, using high-quality materials like natural stone to anchor the space. Natural stone is adaptable and stunning, allowing interiors to evolve with changing trends while offering a sense of warmth and longevity.

Read on for the top 3 natural stone trends of 2026 we are leaning into this year.

Nature-led interiors and Biophilic Design aren’t going anywhere, but the 2026 approach feels simplified and easier to achieve through interiors grounded in texture and warmth. Embrace this trend through organic materials like wood and natural stone to introduce character in layered design.

Natural stone is an effortless way to add impact. Consider stones with colour, movement, or textured finishes that bring character without overwhelming a space.

Santa Cruz Sandstone is a beautiful addition, offering warmth through its combination of creamy beige, amber, and terracotta tones, as well as texture from the natural split finish and varied shapes.

Used indoors and outdoors, it works fantastically as a feature wall, seating, facade, or as raised planters. In all applications, this sandstone adds a natural warmth and visual interest that complements design, and when paired with greenery, brings a relaxed, natural feel that softens the hardscape.

Tundra Grey Honed

Home should feel like you. The spaces you live and work in should be practical but also express personality and identity. Interior design has been moving away from the cookie-cutter, favouring homes with soul, personality, and a sense of intentionality in every design decision.

Let your style flourish with natural stone that has charm, like Tundra Grey Limestone. Defined by a blend of light and dark grey tones, swirled together with soft white veins, this remarkable stone brings depth, elegance, and confidence to any space.

Use Tundra Grey in a range of settings, both indoors and outdoors, for design that seamlessly flows from one space to the next.

In 2026, interiors are leaning towards tranquillity using soft hues drawn from nature. Earthy palettes inspired by the deep red sands of the Australian outback, dusty blue skies, pastel yellows, greens and browns. These rich colours, while vibrant, bring a sense of relaxation and calm.

For the lovers of soft tones, Nice Limestone features a comforting colour palette of warm beige and browns, with clouds that traverse the pavers. The addition of this stone provides a grounded feel with a quiet sense of serenity.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, Nice is slip-resistant, durable, and has low heat absorption, making it functional and aesthetically pleasing.
