Interior Design Trends 2027: 8 Home Decor Trends We’re Watching

What will homes look like in 2027? After reviewing the latest colour forecasts, design reports and the changes we are already seeing in interiors, art and vintage furniture, these are the eight interior design trends we think matter most for the year ahead.

Every year brings a new crop of interior trends, but the most interesting shifts usually start well before January. When we look at the interiors appearing in design magazines, the furniture coming through vintage markets and the colours beginning to appear across new collections, 2027 already feels noticeably warmer and more individual than the pared-back interiors that dominated much of the last decade.

At Westloft, we spend a lot of time looking at how art, furniture and objects work together in real rooms. One thing we have noticed is that the most convincing interiors rarely follow one trend perfectly. They build character through colour, artwork, older furniture and pieces collected gradually over time.

That idea runs through many of the biggest interior design trends for 2027. Rather than one defining aesthetic, the year ahead looks increasingly centred on richer colour, expressive wall art, vintage furniture, tactile materials and rooms that feel personal rather than prescribed.

1. Interior Colour Trends 2027: Brown, Sage Green, Aubergine and Earthy Tones

When we reviewed the current 2027 colour forecasts, one of the clearest shifts was away from cool grey and towards warmer, more complex colours.

Brown is becoming a genuine decorating colour again rather than simply a furniture finish. Greens are becoming softer and earthier, while aubergine, plum, oxblood and clay tones are bringing depth back into interiors.

Little Greene has named the warm mid-tone brown Marle its Colour of the Year for 2027.
Sherwin-Williams has selected the pale yellow-green Celery as its 2027 Colour of the Year.
Aubergine and deeper purple tones are appearing repeatedly in current 2027 colour forecasts.
Earthy pinks and clay-based neutrals are replacing cooler beige and grey tones.
Warm timber colours such as walnut and medium brown are becoming increasingly important within the wider palette.

From our own experience styling artwork, these deeper colours are particularly effective when they are introduced through framed prints rather than used across an entire room. A botanical print containing olive green or a darker piece with brown, burgundy or plum can alter the mood of a wall without requiring a complete redecoration.

For nature-led colour, explore the Wild Things botanical and floral wall art collection, which works particularly well with the warmer greens and earthy tones appearing for 2027.

2. Vintage Furniture Trends 2027: Collected Interiors Are Replacing Matching Rooms

Of all the home decor trends we have been watching, the renewed interest in vintage furniture feels less like a short-lived trend and more like a change in how people want their homes to look.

When we are sourcing vintage furniture, the pieces that catch our attention are rarely perfect. It is usually the timber, unusual proportions, aged finish or evidence of previous use that gives them character. Those qualities are increasingly being celebrated rather than disguised.

Current 2027 design forecasts are pointing in the same direction: fewer complete furniture sets and more interiors made from pieces collected across different periods.

Vintage and second-hand furniture is being used alongside contemporary pieces rather than confined to traditionally styled homes.
Walnut and mahogany are returning as desirable furniture finishes.
Natural wood, leather and wool are being favoured for their texture and longevity.
Matching furniture sets are giving way to more eclectic combinations.
Craftsmanship and material quality are becoming more important than perfectly coordinated finishes.

Newstalgia and Collected Interiors: Mixing Vintage and Contemporary Design

We are particularly interested in the growing overlap between older furniture and contemporary art. A vintage chair beside a modern framed print often creates more tension and personality than a room where everything comes from the same period.

This is also how many of the homes we admire most are built: gradually. One piece arrives, something else moves rooms, an artwork changes the colour balance and the interior develops rather than being completed in a single purchase.

The Haute Bohème collection was built around exactly this kind of interior — eclectic, decorative and influenced by vintage design without trying to recreate a particular period.

3. Wall Art Trends 2027: More Personal Art and Less Generic Wall Decor

We have always found that artwork is one of the quickest ways to understand the personality of a room. That makes the broader move towards more individual interiors especially relevant to wall art trends for 2027.

The direction we are seeing is away from choosing artwork simply because it matches the sofa. Instead, art is being treated as something worth collecting in its own right and then allowing the room to develop around it.

Larger framed artwork is being used to create stronger focal points.
Vintage paintings and contemporary prints are increasingly being mixed together.
Artwork is being chosen for subject and personality rather than colour matching alone.
Different frame finishes are being combined rather than kept completely uniform.
Mass-produced decorative wall objects are losing ground to art with more individual character.

From our own experience, the strongest wall art usually has a reason for being there. It might refer to a favourite drink, a botanical subject, a fashion reference or simply an image that the owner responded to immediately.

Gallery Wall Trends 2027: Asymmetrical Layouts and More Relaxed Art Displays

We are also seeing gallery walls become less rigid. Perfect grids still have their place, but they are no longer the only approach.

Leaning art, picture ledges, irregular spacing and frames collected over time can make a gallery wall feel more relaxed and personal.

Asymmetrical gallery walls allow different artwork sizes to sit together more naturally.
Picture ledges make it easier to change artwork without rehanging the whole wall.
Leaning framed art works particularly well on sideboards and console tables.
Mixing frame finishes can help a gallery wall feel collected rather than purchased as a set.

4. Furniture Trends 2027: Sculptural Shapes, Rich Wood and Comfortable Seating

When we look at the furniture being highlighted for 2027, there is an interesting balance between statement design and comfort.

Pieces are becoming more sculptural, but they are also expected to be genuinely usable. We are seeing softer silhouettes, deeper seating, interesting occasional tables and furniture where the material itself becomes part of the decoration.

Walnut and other rich wood tones are returning strongly.
Curved and softer furniture silhouettes remain important.
Sculptural tables are increasingly being used as focal pieces.
Natural materials such as wood, wool and leather are gaining ground.
Fewer, better furniture pieces are being favoured over fast furniture.

That is very close to the way we already approach vintage buying at Westloft. We would rather find one chair, table or cabinet with a distinctive shape than fill a room with several pieces that disappear into the background.

5. Lighting Trends 2027: Sculptural Lamps and Layered Lighting

Lighting is becoming less of an afterthought. One of the more consistent themes in current interiors is the idea of the lamp or pendant as an object in its own right.

Sculptural table lamps are being used as decorative objects.
Statement pendants are increasingly functioning like suspended sculpture.
Stone, ceramic, timber, brass and natural fibres are appearing across lighting designs.
Several smaller light sources are being layered instead of relying on one ceiling light.

We have found that lighting becomes particularly important when styling art and vintage furniture. A good lamp beside a framed print or on top of an old sideboard can completely change how the materials and colours read after dark.

6. Kitchen Trends 2027: Artwork, Vintage Furniture and More Lived-In Kitchens

The kitchen is one of the clearest examples of how interior design is changing. When reviewing current kitchen trends for 2027, we kept seeing the same idea: kitchens are being designed to feel more like rooms and less like fitted equipment.

That means artwork, lamps, freestanding furniture and older pieces are moving into spaces that were previously dominated by cabinetry.

Framed artwork is increasingly being used in kitchens.
Table lamps are being introduced alongside conventional kitchen lighting.
Freestanding furniture is being mixed with fitted cabinetry.
Plate racks and open display areas are returning as decorative features.
Natural timber and expressive stone are being used to soften harder surfaces.

This is something we particularly like because kitchens are ideal places for art. Cocktail prints, still lifes, food imagery and smaller framed works can make the room feel connected to the rest of the home rather than visually separate from it.

For kitchens, dining rooms and home bars, explore the After Hours cocktail and drinks wall art collection.

7. 2027 Home Decor Trends: Pattern, Colour Drenching and More Expressive Rooms

If the last few years were about removing things, 2027 looks increasingly comfortable with putting some of them back.

Pattern, richer paint colours and layered decorative details are returning, but the most successful examples do not feel chaotic. They work because there is still a clear relationship between the artwork, furniture and architecture of the room.

Patterned upholstery is returning to occasional chairs and sofas.
Colour drenching is being used beyond walls and onto shelving and joinery.
Aubergine kitchens have seen a sharp rise in Pinterest search interest.
Vintage-inspired kitchens have seen growing search interest on Pinterest.
Warm wood kitchens continue to gain attention as cooler finishes recede.

When we looked at Pinterest's recent home data, one thing stood out: people are actively searching for more distinctive rooms rather than neutral spaces designed to appeal to everyone. That supports what we are seeing elsewhere — personality is becoming the point.

8. Slow Decorating and Collected Homes Will Be One of the Biggest Interior Trends of 2027

The trend we find most convincing for 2027 is also the least dependent on buying whatever happens to be fashionable that year.

More interiors are being built slowly.

From our own experience buying furniture and building art collections, the best pieces rarely arrive in the order you expect. Sometimes you find the chair before you know where it will live. Sometimes one print changes the direction of an entire wall. Sometimes an old piece of furniture only starts to work after it moves to another room.

Here is what we have learned:

A room does not need to be finished immediately.
Vintage furniture becomes more interesting when mixed with newer pieces.
Artwork does not need to match the furniture to belong in the same room.
Natural materials tend to become more attractive as they age.
A smaller number of distinctive pieces usually creates more character than filling every space.

What Interior Design Styles Will Be Trending in 2027?

After reviewing the current forecasts, we do not think 2027 will be defined by one neat interior style.

The more useful direction is a mixture: vintage furniture with contemporary wall art, richer colour with natural materials, pattern alongside quieter pieces and rooms that make space for books, objects and things accumulated over time.

That also means styles that once seemed separate are increasingly overlapping. Traditional furniture can sit beneath contemporary artwork. An Art Deco chair can work beside a botanical print. A modern kitchen can contain an old cabinet or still life painting.

What Home Decor Trends Are Going Out of Style in 2027?

When we compare the current 2027 forecasts with what designers are beginning to move away from, the common thread is sameness.

Cool all-grey interiors are losing ground to warmer colour.
Perfectly matching furniture sets are being replaced by mixed pieces.
Generic decorative wall art is being replaced by more personal artwork.
Mass-produced decorative objects are losing favour to vintage and meaningful pieces.
Rooms designed to look complete immediately are giving way to interiors that evolve over time.

Interior Design Trends 2027: What We Think Will Actually Last

The most useful 2027 interior trends are not really about copying a particular look. They are about putting character back into the home.

We expect to see more warm timber, brown and green, vintage furniture, expressive wall art, sculptural lighting and kitchens that feel increasingly connected to the rest of the house.

What interests us most is the move away from interiors that look as though they were bought in a single afternoon. The rooms that feel current now — and that we suspect will continue to feel good beyond 2027 — are the ones where art, furniture and objects have been allowed to accumulate naturally.
