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 Gentle! The Butter Yellow trend is already hinting at it for 2025: in 2026, we'll be embracing soft pastel shades with a cool, clear radiance. Think lavender, pale blue, and greens reminiscent of a modern, calming coastal landscape. You'll find gorgeous pastel shades throughout all our collections. This colour trend invites natural elements into your space, creating a serene overall look and fostering harmony. So, if you're looking to introduce colour into your home without fully committing to trends like Dopamine Decor, then the Pastel interior style is absolutely perfect for your home.
Inspired by Nature – Green is Trending
For years, the colour green has played a significant role in many homes – after all, it brings a piece of nature directly into your home. It's no wonder, then, that our Green with Sage is consistently one of MissPompadour's best-selling shades year after year. For a natural look in your living space, combine earthy shades such as brown, beige, or a deep orange with our Green with Bay Leaf. Green with Forest is a classic for the country house style – this rich, intense green also looks superb on furniture. And of course, this versatile colour also opens up many possibilities for colour blocking and other bold colour trends. Green always works!
Our Trend Colour 2026 Blue with Bubbles combines beautifully with various green shades, creating fresh, harmonious colour combinations.
Sustainability & Biophilic Design
2026 is going green – not just in terms of colour, but also materials and design concepts. Biophilic design refers to interiors that are in harmony with nature. A natural environment helps us relax, reduce stress, and find peace. On the one hand, naturalness means a focus on plants, natural light, and greenery in a space – perhaps embracing the Urban Jungle style, which brings the intense feeling of nature right into your home. But biophilic design also means that interior design pays special attention to sustainable materials, natural products, air quality, and being free from harmful substances. For living room walls and as furniture paints, low/zero-VOC shades are no longer just a trend – they are an integral part of modern, responsible home design concepts. This trend is here to stay!
MissPompadour also prioritises a healthy home environment. That's why all our colours and paints are naturally water-based and low-emission – in fact, our wall paint The Valuable Wall Paint! is completely VOC-free. Whether it's your kitchen, living room, or bedroom, MissPompadour helps you beautify your home and create a healthy living space.
A Blend of Old and New – Emotional and Personal
From Art Deco revivals to retro nuances, the home and colour trends of 2026 embrace **emotional, playful, and characterful** styles all at once. Where contemporary spirit meets timeless character, mixing old and new furniture can create a truly beautiful aesthetic. Do you have a piece of furniture that’s been in the family for a long time, or cherished old pictures for your walls? Create your own unique interior style by combining them with modern, clean lines and shapes. Why not paint an old piece of furniture in a new, surprising colour?
And naturally, our velvety-matt wall paints, with their vintage charm, are the perfect complement. The gentle shades from our collection bring warmth and a sense of cosiness to your walls. Combine nostalgia and cosiness with modern elements for an irresistible trend mix!
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!
