But, with excess also comes the risk of clutter. This is where artful layering is a must, with every tone, pattern, and piece of furniture used cohesively to bring out the best in each other.
INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
Not only is this a beautiful way to instantly elevate dull interiors, but it’ s also a smart move. Tiles are excellent at protecting your walls from moisture, making tile drenching a practical and stylish choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
LAYERING EARTHY TONES
We’ ve already touched on both layering and earthy tones as interior design trends for 2026, but what happens if you bring them together?
TERRACOTTA
For the past decade, grey has been the colour of the moment. In 2026, though, that’ s all going to change as terracotta brings an earthy vibrancy back to modern interiors.
Rooted in nature, this colour choice feeds into the popularity of biophilic design. This is a concept that’ s all about introducing natural elements into indoor spaces, bringing benefits such as boosting cognitive function and supporting mental wellbeing.
This is the trend of combining nature-inspired colours for complex yet cohesive palettes and interiors that are bursting with vibrant charm. Think rusty reds, deep browns, and sage greens, all used artfully in a single room. Each colour is handselected and placed for a flow that feels as natural as the tones inspiring this trend, with everything from window frames to wallpaper working harmoniously.
The results are beautiful interiors that feel alive and warm, creating welcoming houses that you want to come home to.
Terracotta is certainly a staple in the biophilic design colour palette. From natural Terracotta tiles to terracotta clay vases and mugs, we’ re ready and waiting to see how this gorgeous colour will be styled.
TILE DRENCHING
Tile drenching is similar to colour drenching. This look is all about embracing one tile and committing to it fully, covering both floors and walls in the same colour, pattern, or shape. The result? A seamless, cocoon-like space that feels undeniably modern.
This year, we’ re excited to see designers embrace the use of texture and varying colour when tile drenching. The Vessel Teal Hexagon Matte Tiles, for instance, have subtle tonal differences that create differentiation between each tile for more movement and life.
