Get the lowdown on spring furniture trends, from Pantone's 2026 Colour of the Year to Regencycore décor and Mid-century Modern living rooms.
Springtime is nearly here, and designers across the world are busy sharing the latest styles for the upcoming season. From Pantone’s Colour of the Year to “Grandmacore” and “Regencycore”, here are several exciting spring furniture trends to help you enhance your home.
2026 Colour of the Year - Pantone
Let’s start with colour. Pantone has announced their Colour of the Year as PANTONE® 11-4201 Cloud Dancer. This is described as a soft, airy white exuding calm and clarity in our increasingly busy world. In fact, it’s the first time Pantone has chosen a white shade. Our Sorento cream leather recliner with footstool will blend in seamlessly with this shade.
Other colours of the year being heralded by Dulux include teal, muted duck egg and a bright, bold blue. Colour-drenching is still trending too, so consider immersing living spaces in a single hue. Make a statement in your dining room with a teal blue velvet dining chair.
Personalise your Living Room
It’s a sign of the times that we’re moving away from showroom-style, curated rooms to more personalised, imperfect spaces. This is one of the main concepts that underpins furniture trends this year. Instead of perfectly placed items, arrange objects to look as if they’ve been collected over many years. Think eclectic instead of matched with a connecting element such as a colour, texture or pattern that links the room together to create a narrative.
Mix and match your furniture to give the impression your home has evolved over time. Pair the oatmeal Phoenix Swivel & Rocker Recliner with the sculptural Oslo Fabric sofa range.
From Cottagecore to Grandmacore
Yep, creating a cosy haven in your home is still a popular look in people’s homes. Cottagecore has been around for a few years now, and there are some interesting variations. From “Grandmacore” to “Scandi cottage”, these design trends are all about mixing the traditional with sheer comfort. Think knitted throws, patterned prints and florals.
If you’re looking for the ultimate comfort, the patterned fabric Ashfield Riser Recliner will perfectly suit this style. Ideal for older people with limited mobility, this chair both reclines and rises to an almost standing position.
The Regencycore Décor Revival
Thanks to Bridgerton, there has been a revival in Regencycore. So, what exactly is this look? Think regal, opulent wallcoverings and prints, heritage shades and making the most of architectural features if you live in an older property. Add heavy floor-level curtains with pleats and antique-style objects that echo the ambience of an old stately home.
When it comes to regal, the traditional Duxford pushback recliner has regency-style wooden feet and classic stud-detailing. All you’ll need is a bit of 19th Century scandal…
Mid-Century Modern Living Room
If the historical romance look isn’t quite your thing, then do not worry! The Mid-century Modern look is also trending this year and the elegant Sofia armchair and sofa set really echoes this period. Make this suite the main feature in your living room.
You could also choose one piece of furniture that truly stands out in a room. Make a statement with the Sydney Manual Recliner Sofa in Blue. This beautiful reclining sofa has simple shapes and even comes with a fold-down central console with drinks holders.
