10 INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2026 FROM DIRECT TILE WAREHOUSE

BLACK AND WHITE VICTORIAN TILES VICTORIAN WITH A TWIST
First in our list of interior design trends for 2026 is monochrome. A firm favourite in interior design, we expect it to take centre stage in 2026.
This black and white colour scheme can be both contemporary and traditional, depending on how you style it. Our Regent Tiles, for instance, are inspired by Victorian design( another prominent interior design trend for 2026) for an elegant, regal aesthetic that’ s as bold as it is beautiful. Black and white check tiles, however, are undeniably modern for a look that suits maximalist interiors.
When it comes to interior design trends for 2026, it’ s hard to ignore the Victorian revival. An era of opulence and colour, we’ re ready to see more homes embracing the epitome of period style.
The Victorian aesthetic didn’ t shy away from pairing colours, patterns, and textures. A bold flooring option, like our Canterbury Green Octagon Tiles, paired with a statement wallpaper and floor-length curtains, for instance, captures this interior design style perfectly.
We can see the monochrome trend going one of two ways among the interior design trends for 2026. Either designers will use it as the centrepiece for clean, minimalist spaces, paring back other colours for a muted look, or it will form the foundation for more colourful interiors. Think monochrome flooring paired with jewel-toned curtains, bright feature walls, and statement art.
