Maryline Stoeckel, head of styles at Schmidt, reveals the three key trends set to shape interior design and home furnishings in 2027.

“After several years dominated by understated, minimalist interiors, 2027 is set to embrace a more diverse range of styles. On the one hand, interior design is becoming bolder: deep colours, striking materials and confident design choices are turning our homes into a true expression of personal style. On the other, the desire for softness, natural elements and simplicity remains strong, with spaces designed as retreats, where materials and functionality take precedence over the superfluous.”

TREND 1 / NEW ICONIC – The total look makes a comeback 

In 2027, it’s time to embrace your personal style. The home becomes a space for highly individualised design, where bold choices go hand in hand with elegance (pictured top). The total look challenges traditional design codes with rich colours, dark, warm woods, dramatically veined stone and metallic accents in brass or copper. A carefully considered touch of creativity, designed to create distinctive and sophisticated interiors: your home becomes your signature.

TREND 2 / NATURE SENSITIVE – Nature as the new luxury

In contrast to this carefully considered creativity, another aspiration is emerging: the desire for a home that feels like a retreat, calming and deeply sensory. Light woods, soft tones, subtle mineral finishes, tactile materials and gentle warmth create pared-back spaces where nature takes centre stage once again. In the kitchen, this search for serenity is also reflected in features that fade into the background: concealed appliances, integrated storage and clean lines allow the kitchen to blend seamlessly into the living space. Less visually dominant, the kitchen becomes fully integrated into the living environment.

TREND 3 / FRIENDLY HARMONY – The charm of interiors designed for living

In 2027, the home also remains a place for life’s simple pleasures and shared moments. Friendly Harmony celebrates bright, warm and enduring interiors, designed for everyday living and to stand the test of time rather than follow passing trends. Wood is paired with stone, framed cabinet fronts reintroduce depth and character, while fresh or sun-kissed pops of colour bring the overall look to life—a timeless and authentic aesthetic, where beauty never comes at the expense of practicality.

A bold total look, an invisible kitchen or a return to warm simplicity: ultimately, these three trends reflect the same evolution — in 2027, our interiors are becoming more personal, more sensory and, above all, more closely connected to the way we live.
