Sometimes you just get that itch: a new colour on the wall, a new spot to curl up with a good book, or maybe even turning your whole interior upside down. The interior trends of 2027 invite you to play with colour, shape and material, so your home becomes even more yours. Get inspired and, together with Pip, turn your house into a home.

Throw the door wide open to colour, because 2027 is set to be a warm year. Think chocolate brown, cognac, moss green, olive green, burgundy, dusty pink, lilac and a deeper blue, with the occasional sunny touch of amber, honey, curry or teal in between. All these shades feel earthy and saturated, as if you're bringing an autumn forest or a field of flowers indoors. Where calm, muted colours set the tone in recent years, colour is back in full force in 2027.

Alongside colour, 2027 brings plenty of texture and shape back into the home. Think linen, wool and ceramics, round mirrors, oval dining tables and wavy carpets, and wallpaper with organic patterns that instantly fills a room with atmosphere. Straight lines make way for soft curves, and smooth surfaces are joined by fabrics that beg to be touched. The interior of 2027 isn't sleek or empty, but layered and full of its own story, with prints that make your home recognisable at a glance. Technology is welcome, but it doesn't need to steal the show: it's more about warmth, about materials with a story to tell and about a home where you feel at ease the moment you step inside.

After years of calm, almost colourless interiors, we're simply craving more feeling at home again. You want a home that feels like a story rather than a showroom, and you can see that in interiors where different styles happily mix. A modern sofa next to an heirloom from your gran, dark wood with a light floor, a sleek lamp next to a handmade vase: it's exactly those unexpected combinations that give a home character. So you no longer have to choose strictly between, say, Japandi, hotel chic or something classic; the fun lies in cleverly mixing them together.

Materials play a big part in this too. Where it was long mainly about how something looks, it's now just as much about how it feels under your hands. Rough linen textures, soft grass weaves and suede-like surfaces create an interior you want to touch, not just look at. And wood definitely deserves a place: a tray with a visible grain or a dining table in warm oak instantly adds a natural touch to your home and combines effortlessly with this year's richer colours. It's exactly this combination of rich colour, texture and personal choices that maximalist, botanically inspired living has been all about for years.

You really don't need to overhaul your whole home to embrace the interior trends of 2027. Pick one spot to start, play with colour and texture, and build from there at your own pace. These four styling tips will help you on your way.

01 Colour on the floor
A carpet in a rich, warm colour such as burgundy, moss green or dusty pink instantly creates the base the rest of the room can happily build on. Styling tip: combine the carpet with decorative cushions in different prints and shades, from a botanical motif to a calmer plain colour, and add a stool in a contrasting print for an extra seat.

02 Prints at the table
You'll see the same movement at the table: tableware with botanical motifs and a tablecloth or tea towel in an earthy or eye-catching colour bring warmth to the dining table. Styling tip: add placemats in a slightly different pattern, and a midweek meal quickly turns into a celebration.

03 Texture in the bedroom
Colour works just as well in the bedroom as in the living room, only in a slightly calmer tone. Styling tip: choose bed linen in a deeper colour such as teal, aubergine or burgundy, and complete the look with a pillowcase or plaid in a different pattern. That way, just like in the living room, you layer colour on colour.

04 Decoration with character
Small decorative items complete the picture, without you having to turn the whole room upside down. Styling tip: place a vase, candle holder or storage box with a botanical print on the windowsill or sideboard, and let the same colours and prints return in a bag to take with you, so your personal style doesn't stop at the front door.

The interior trends of 2027 show one thing above all: your home can look just like you. Start small: one carpet, one set of decorative cushions or new tableware can be enough to give a room a whole new atmosphere. From there, build at your own pace, layer by layer, until your home has exactly that warm, colourful feel that 2027 is all about. Home at its most beautiful!
