Mindful living – Creating a home you love - In 2026, home is a retreat for the soul

The outside world is moving faster than ever, at a pace that is almost dizzying – politically, economically and environmentally. Constant change is the “new normal”. In these turbulent times, there is one place we can rely on to provide grounding and strength: our home!

In 2026, our home is not simply four walls, it is a vital haven, a retreat and a tangible expression of our soul. This concept goes beyond superficial decoration, encompassing a deep and authentic lifestyle that we share with family and friends and that reflects our personality. Three groundbreaking trends will define the interior design year 2026:

Like a day by the sea – Home as a well-being haven

Escape an unpredictable outside world in your own little bubble of serenity! In 2026, we are celebrating home as the ultimate well-being haven, cocooned in nature’s gentle embrace. It is the perfect sanctuary, a place where we can consciously enjoy the moment and face bad news with a deep inner calm. A colour palette combining the blue of vast oceans with the pure white of floating clouds and the warm beige of sunny beaches creates the peaceful atmosphere we yearn for. Organic, flowing shapes and tactile handcrafted textiles add the finishing touches and make the home a daily meditation. The feeling is almost like walking barefoot on a beach – absolute relaxation for body and mind. This trend invites us to appreciate the beauty of the moment and replenish our energy.

Villeroy & Boch recreates this feeling at the table with its Perlemor collection in the colour Sand. Combined with the glasses from the like. series in blue, the result is a real holiday feeling that inspires dreams of beaches and waves.

• Colour palette: revitalising aqua blue, pure white and nurturing earth shades that convey expansiveness, clarity and an amazing sense of weightlessness.

• Surfaces: authentic crafted finishes and tactile natural textures that radiate authenticity.

• Shapes: flowing, organic silhouettes and clear, peaceful lines that create a sense of harmony and infinite peace.

A symphony of colours and shapes – Home as a loving retreat

In uncertain times, family and friends are the focus and our home becomes a retreat and the centre of family life. In 2026, we are creating a protective nest, deliberately designed to foster warmth, safety and comfort while leaving space for creativity and fun for the whole family. The concept is based on materials inspired by nature and a lifestyle that considers the well-being of all concerned. Natural materials – soft wood, characterful ceramic and cosy wool – combined with a creative fusion of warm hues and harmonious contrasts bring this retreat to life.

With its atmospheric blend of clear shapes, geometric patterns and joyful colours, Villeroy & Boch’s Fleur collection offers endless scope for mix & match effects to create individual rooms that touch the soul. Our home becomes a place for shared experiences that encourage us to discover, grow and make memories. 

• Colour palette: a melody of warm shades and harmonious contrasts that invite us to slow down and that create a homely feeling.

• Surfaces: tactile appeal with playful patterns and inviting textures that radiate individuality.

• Shapes: soft, floral shapes that convey a sense of comfort and connection with nature.

High-quality materials and clear shapes – Home as a personal statement

In an unpredictable world, we yearn for clarity and a stable anchor in stormy seas. In 2026, our home is our personal manifesto, a design statement that loudly and yet elegantly proclaims our individuality! Fine materials, clear geometry and a touch of bold expressionism meet timeless aesthetics. Every detail is a conscious choice for uniqueness and understated glamour. Rather than simply a place to live, our home also becomes an expression of our personality and attitude.

Villeroy & Boch has the perfect items to design this personal statement: the Afina collection, with its delicate relief texture, creates an atmosphere of subtle luxury and timeless elegance at the table, while La Boule Memphis and the Memphis Collection are eye-catching features with their expressive design. Whatever you choose, your table is sure to be a clear statement of your individual personality.

• Colour palette: natural base colours, accentuated by bold, carefully selected shades that add drama, depth and a touch of opulence.

• Surfaces: flawless, high-quality materials with irresistible tactile appeal and a luxurious finish that radiates exclusivity.

• Shapes: striking, modern and often sculptural pieces that define the room and add accents that create an architectural presence.
