At Apollo we love seeing how colour can completely transform a space. For 2026, the trending hues for home interiors are all about warmth, depth, and a collective desire to feel more connected to nature.
Forget the sharp shift in palettes that we’ve seen in previous years. The move from 2025 to 2026 home décor colour ideas feels seamlessly progressive and intentional. UK homeowners are increasingly leaning towards warm earthy and atmospheric shades that add personality without overwhelming a space.
So, what are the best colours for interiors in 2026?
From herbal green to smoky blue and chalky rose to rich red and soulful neutrals, here’s our top five colour picks set to define interior aesthetics (and windows!) over the coming year.
Green is the Restorative New Neutral
Green has officially stepped in where beige once reigned supreme. An endlessly versatile neutral that feels grounding and restorative, we’re seeing herbal, moodier tones take centre stage for UK interior home decor. Green colour trends for 2026 interiors are rich, organic hues, including moss, olive, and eucalyptus. Think warm and comforting here rather than crisp or overly traditional. Roller and vertical blinds in these tones pair beautifully with natural textures like wood, rattan, leather, and linen, while beautifully complementing most décor schemes.
Smoky Blue-Greens Add Depth and Atmosphere
Blue-greens are perennially popular colours for home decor, however for 2026 they take on a deeper, more atmospheric quality. Paint brand BEHR’s 2026 Colour of the Year — a smoky jade called Hidden Gem — perfectly illustrates this shift. It’s the ideal shade for bringing a sense of mystery, sophistication, and calm to a space. Smoky blue and green interiors are also brilliantly versatile. Try washing across walls for a muted neutral vibe or make a statement with a bold Roman Blind as the focal point of the room.
Elevated Neutrals
Neutral doesn’t have to mean bland in 2026. Opt for cashmere-soft shades like creamy ivory, warm ochre, and mineral beige that feel tactile and cocooning. Stark white minimalism and dated magnolia have been replaced by earthy-toned neutrals that sit somewhere comforting and timeless. Luxurious curtains in these colours make the perfect backdrop for bolder accent colours or décor accessories in natural materials like stone, wool, and handcrafted ceramics.
Luxurious Rich Reds & Plum Tones
Deep, atmospheric reds have been big in 2025 and are only set to get bigger in 2026. Burgundy, plum, mahogany, and aubergine are all stepping into the spotlight as expressive shades that are also soothing. Standout tones for the year include Warm Mahogany — a rich and chocolaty red brown that’s ideal for cosy living rooms, Divine Damson — a dramatic berry tone, and deep plum/aubergine. Perfect for bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces, these moody reds with earthy undertones are a natural progression from the popular clay and terracotta shades of recent years.
Chalky Rose & Blush Neutrals
One of the most notable shifts for 2026 is the rise of rosy neutrals – for example, barely-there pinks, muted blush-beiges, soft peach-toned neutrals, and warm clay hues that bring softness without looking too sugary. These shades bring the warmth we’re all craving right now into home decor schemes. Chalky rose window blinds pair particularly well with olive green walls, oak, brass, and soft-textured furnishings.
If there’s one thread tying these 2026 colour trends together, it’s that we want spaces that feel intentional, natural, and deeply comforting. Greens evolve into neutrals, blues become smokier and more soulful, neutrals turn cashmere-soft, and rich red and rose step in to add emotion and depth.
