Mood 2026 is courage... for colour!
Even in 2026, you can remain bold when it comes to colour - or become bold! You set the tone for your home. We have put together the most important trends here. Our own MissPompadour trend colour 2026 fits perfectly with all the big colour trends that await us in 2026. Blue with bubbles is a hit!
The 2026 living trends combine opposites: delicate pastel shades such as lavender, blue and green bring lightness and calm, while warm, earthy nuances such as terracotta or saffron create cosiness and sunny accents. The colour spectrum is complemented by deep, calming tones such as rust red or dark blue, which bring elegance and security to places of retreat. The 2026 colour trends provide ideas for a variety of styles!
Pastel elegance
The future is soft! The butter-yellow trend already hints at this in 2025: In 2026, we are increasingly focussing on soft pastel shades with a cool, clear look - such as lavender, pale blue and green tones that are reminiscent of a modern, calming coastal landscape. You'll find great pastel shades in all our collections . This colour trend brings the elements into the room, maintaining a calm overall look and creating harmony. So if you want to introduce colours into your home without immediately implementing trends like Dopamine Decor, pastel colours are just right for your interior!
Inspired by nature - green is on trend
The colour green has been a firm Roller in many German households for years - after all, it brings a piece of nature right into your own home. So it's no wonder that our Green with Sage is one of MissPompadour's best-selling colour shades year after year. For a natural look in your living space, combine earth tones such as brown, beige or a dark orange with our Green with Bay Leaf. Green with Forest is a classic for the country house style - this rich, intense green also looks great on furniture. And of course, this versatile colour also opens up many possibilities for colour blocking and other intense colour trends. Green always works!
Our trend colour 2026 Blue with Bubbles can be beautifully combined with different shades of green to create fresh, harmonious colour combinations.
Sustainability & biophilic design
2026 will be green - and not just in terms of colour, but also in terms of materials and concepts. Biophilic design is the term for interiors that are in harmony with nature. A natural environment relaxes, reduces stress and allows us to calm down. On the one hand, naturalness means focussing on plants, natural light and greenery in the room. But biophilic design also means that special attention is paid to sustainable materials, natural materials, air quality and the absence of harmful substances in interior design. For wall design in the living room and as furniture paints, colours with low/zero VOC have long been more than just a trend - they are an integral part of modern, responsible living concepts. This trend is here to stay!
MissPompadour also attaches great importance to healthy living. All our colours & varnishes are naturally water-based and contain as few VOCs as possible - our wall paint The Valuable Wall Paint is even completely VOC-free. Whether it's the kitchen, living room or bedroom: with MissPompadour, you can make your home more sustainable and live healthily.
Mix of old and new - emotional and personal
From art deco revival to retro nuances, the 2026 living and colour trends love to be emotional, playful and full of character at the same time. Zeitgeist meets character - the mix of old and new furniture can create a great aesthetic. Do you have a piece of furniture that has been in the family for a long time or old pictures for the wall? Create your own personal interior design style by combining modern, clean lines and shapes. Perhaps you could paint an old piece of furniture in a new, surprising colour?
Of course, velvety matt-varnish wall paints in the style of old times also go perfectly with this - like the soft colour shades in our CosyColours Collection, which bring warmth and cosiness to your wall. Nostalgia and cosiness combined with modern elements create an irresistible mix of trends!
Geometric patterns
Geometric patterns on tiles and walls will also be one of the big trends in 2026. They are a real eye-catcher. Whether hexagons, triangles or graphic retro motifs - clear shapes give surfaces depth and dynamism. This living trend sets modern accents and transforms plain surfaces into exciting design statements. You can find various options for painting walls or tiles with patterns in our blog on painting walls with patterns.
Did you know that you can not only paint tiles, but also stencil them beautifully?
Coloured joints
Those who prefer a more subtle but no less expressive look can opt for coloured joints. Instead of keeping a low profile, they are deliberately used as a design element: tone-on-tone for a harmonious overall look or rich in contrast to emphasise structures and patterns. White tiles with bright red grouting? Why not - the whole world of colour is open to you! This opens up completely new possibilities for customising tiled surfaces.
Wondering how to do it? Our blog on the subject of painting grouting has all the answers for you.
But the most important trend in 2026 remains: live the way you want. Your home, your trends. All options and combinations are open to you. Variety makes the world colourful!
