The art of decorating your dining room
What is most important for creating the perfect dining area Creating a luxurious dining area is about more than choosing a beautiful table and chairs – it is about comfort, proportions, and harmony with your interior design style. In our interior design projects, we often see clients seeking professional advice on exclusive dining tables and chairs, whether for an elegant city apartment or a seaside villa. We work exclusively with carefully selected furniture from leading brands such as Eichholtz. With many years of experience with the brand and close collaboration with interior designers, we have built a deep understanding of how to best use the furniture to create balanced and thoughtful environments. "Our goal is always to help the client create a dining room that feels generous, elegant, and adapted to how one actually lives" Jesper Jurdell. Before you choose your dining set, the following guidelines can help you clarify some important aspects: How much space you need around the dining table and chairs for comfortable movement Which size dining table best suits 6, 8, or 10 people in your room Which chairs harmonize best with an exclusive marble, glass, or wooden dining table to perfect the overall look Surface area and proportions are the foundation of luxury! Luxurious dining areas should never feel cramped – the right proportions are the most important foundation. As a guideline, you should leave at least about 90 cm of free space around the entire table, so that chairs can easily be pulled out and one can move comfortably. When it comes to the distance between chairs along the table, you should allow for about 60 cm of table surface per person to avoid guests sitting too close. For a more generous and exclusive feeling, it is better to plan for about 75 cm per person. This usually provides about 5–10 cm between wider chairs and up to 20–25 cm between slimmer models. In a medium-sized dining room of about 3.6 × 4.2 meters, a dining table for 6–8 people usually fits well, with a length of about 200–240 cm for a rectangular table or a diameter of 120–150 cm for a round table. Feel free to combine with fully upholstered chairs that provide comfort without feeling heavy. Slender metal legs or lighter constructions help maintain an airy feel in the room. In larger dining rooms from about 4.2 × 5.4 meters and upwards, a table for 8–10 people works perfectly, with a length of about 280–320 cm (or 150–180 cm in diameter for a large round table). Here there is also room for more generous or expressive chairs as well as complementary furniture like a sideboard or console table. For a more flexible solution, you can choose an extendable dining table, such as Atelier S. Match the table's shape with your interior design style Once the size is right, luxury is about harmony with your interior design style. Depending on the room's shape, you can choose between rectangular, oval, or round tables: rectangular tables fit well in elongated rooms, oval ones soften the lines, and round tables create a more social and inviting seating arrangement. Modern environments: Choose lighter and more slender constructions – in marble, glass, or simple wooden tabletops, such as the Glover dining table, together with stylish, upholstered, or leather chairs on slender legs made of metal or wood. Neutral color palettes like stone, taupe, black, and white, with an accent color, create a sophisticated and contemporary look. Classic or formal style: Invest in solid wood or marble tables, with more sculptural bases, combined with taller chairs in fabric or leather. Warm woods and rich materials like velvet or textured fabrics create a distinctively luxurious feel. Contemporary mixed environments: Choose tables with sculptural bases – fluted, pillar-based, or more expressive shapes – and combine them with softer chairs in bouclé, linen blends, or smooth leather. Mixing materials like wood and metal or marble and velvet adds depth and a more elaborate, exclusive overall feel. A fine example of this is a dining set with a dining table like Westwood from Eichholtz. Which chairs suit tables in marble, glass, and wood? Marble dining tables Best choice: Upholstered chairs in velvet or fabric, chairs with slender metal frames, or simple wooden chairs with soft seats. These combinations allow the marble to stand in focus while the whole feels inviting.Style tip: If the marble has clear veining or a dark tone, choose simple chair shapes in muted, solid shades. If the marble is more subtle, you can work with richer materials and colors – like deep green, navy blue, or rust – to add character. Glass dining tables Best choice: Sculptural, upholstered chairs, chairs with a cantilever or sled base, as well as chairs in fabric or velvet with a distinct shape. The transparency of the glass makes the chair's design an important part of the overall impression.Style tip: Because glass is perceived as light and modern, you should avoid heavy, solid wooden chairs. Choose instead lighter constructions or softly rounded silhouettes for a contemporary expression. Wooden dining tables Best choice: Upholstered chairs in fabric or leather, chairs with woven or rattan backs, or entirely in wood with a comfortable seat – depending on whether you want to create a modern or more classic feel.Style tip: Mixing tones, for example, darker chairs with a lighter oak table, creates depth without feeling cluttered. By repeating at least one element – such as wood type, leg color, or metal finish – between table and chairs, you get a thoughtful whole even if the furniture comes from different collections. How do you clean and maintain exclusive dining furniture? An exclusive dining table with matching chairs deserves gentle and regular care to maintain its beauty for many years. Marble tables: Dust once or twice a week with a soft cloth. If needed, clean gently with lukewarm water and a mild dish detergent, rinse, and dry immediately. Always wipe up spills immediately, use coasters and placemats, and avoid abrasive or acidic cleaning agents. Wooden tables and veneers: Protect from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme heat. Dust regularly and use a diluted furniture polish with a soft cloth for ongoing cleaning, and polish a couple of times per year. Wipe up spills immediately to avoid the material warping or the surface being damaged. Use felt pads under decorative objects and always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first. Glass tables: Use distilled water or a high-quality glass cleaner along with a microfiber cloth for daily cleaning. Warm water works for simpler spills, while a little vinegar can help with more stubborn stains. Avoid abrasive materials and rough surfaces, and always use coasters and placemats to prevent scratches. Dining chairs in fabric or velvet: Vacuum regularly to remove dust and crumbs, and spot-clean stains with a mild detergent diluted in water and a damp cloth. Let dry and vacuum again. A practical tip for many velvet fabrics is to carefully use baby wipes for smaller stains – always test first on a hidden area. Keep upholstered chairs away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve color and texture.

Care instructions for marble, travertine, and onyx
Marble is a limestone that has been transformed through natural processes and combined with various minerals. It is characterized by its unique veining in varying colors and patterns. Since marble can easily stain, etch, and lose its luster, it is important to care for the material correctly. Travertine is also a type of limestone. This sedimentary rock often forms in springs, rivers, and lakes. It typically has a fibrous or concentric appearance and comes in shades such as white, beige, cream, and rust tones. Onyx is a unique, semi-transparent stone formed by layers of quartz and calcite. It is known for its beautiful color variations and its smooth, glass-like surface. Because onyx is a softer material that is easily scratched and stained, it requires careful handling and meticulous care to maintain its beauty. There are a few basic guidelines to get the most out of your marble, travertine, and onyx furniture and to extend their lifespan: Be careful with water rings that can occur after watering plants.Use coasters for glasses and dishes to avoid ring marks.Avoid exposing the surface to sharp objects that can scratch the stone.Never use vinegar, ammonia, bleach, lemon, or orange when cleaning, as acids can damage the limestone. Cleaning and maintenance Dust marble, travertine, and onyx surfaces twice a week with a soft cloth. These materials are sensitive to stains, especially if liquids are allowed to sit. If you spill something, it should be wiped up immediately, as even small spills can quickly become permanent stains. Clean immediately after spilling items such as orange juice, coffee, wine, or other liquids with strong pigments, and then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Never let water remain on the surface, as it can cause stains. Always clean gently and avoid abrasive cleaners or dusting sprays. Wash when necessary with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water and, if needed, a small amount of mild dish soap. Use only mild cleaning solutions that effectively remove dirt without damaging the stone. Wipe the surface with soft, circular motions where extra cleaning is needed. Remove soap residue with a clean, damp cloth and then wipe the surface completely dry.

Create a patio in 2026 – 5 ways to decorate with an exclusive feel
A well-thought-out patio is more than just a place to sit; it is an extension of the home. With the right materials, furniture, and lighting, you can create an exclusive outdoor environment where design, comfort, and quality interact. Regardless of whether you are furnishing a large terrace or a smaller balcony, there are keys that instantly elevate the overall look. Here are 5 ways to create a luxurious patio with a focus on timeless design and carefully selected brands like Eichholtz, Artwood, and Nordal. 1. Build the foundation with furniture in the right materials Start with materials that age beautifully and last over time – teak, metal, and well-crafted rattan or synthetic rattan.Artwood stands for a natural and robust aesthetic, while Eichholtz adds a more modern and international design. 2. Invest in sun loungers and deck chairs A well-thought-out patio is not just about social areas but also about places for relaxation. With the right sun loungers and deck chairs, you create a calm and exclusive zone where comfort is in focus. Invest in outdoor sun loungers with adjustable backs and generous cushions to achieve a more refined and comfortable result. For smaller spaces, stylish deck chairs for the patio can be a flexible alternative that can easily be moved to follow the sun. Striped textiles are a clear trend we are seeing for the season. In Eichholtz’s latest summer collection, as was already the case in last year's collection, the striped expression returns as a central part of the design. The classic pattern adds a relaxed yet sophisticated feel – perfect for a patio where you want to combine elegance with a summery and vibrant aesthetic. 3. Create an inviting outdoor dining area A well-thought-out outdoor dining area elevates the entire patio and becomes a natural gathering point during spring and summer. With the right outdoor dining furniture, you can create an environment that works just as well for everyday dinners as for long evenings with guests. Invest in a stable dining table in durable materials like wood or metal, combined with comfortable dining chairs for outdoor use. A well-balanced outdoor dining set provides more than just function – it creates a clear structure and a more exclusive overall impression. For a more refined feel, supplement with textiles such as seat cushions and an outdoor rug. This softens the look and makes the outdoor dining area feel more like an integrated part of the home. Brands like Artwood offer timeless and robust solutions for those seeking a stylish outdoor dining area, while Eichholtz brings a more modern and sophisticated design with a focus on details. Regardless of whether you are furnishing a large terrace or a smaller balcony, a well-planned outdoor dining area is an investment in both function and experience – a place to gather, all season long. 4. Let the lighting define Lighting is one of the most important factors when you want to create a luxurious patio. The right outdoor lighting creates structure, depth, and an inviting atmosphere – and makes your patio feel well-thought-out even after sunset. Combine different types of outdoor lighting for the best effect. Spotlighting highlights specific areas, while lanterns for the patio and portable outdoor lamps contribute to a softer, more vibrant light. By working in layers, you create a balanced whole that feels both functional and exclusive. For a more designed feel, choose decorative outdoor lighting in materials like metal, glass, and natural fibers. Here, details from Nordal are an obvious choice – perfect for those seeking stylish outdoor lighting with character. Whether you are furnishing a terrace, deck, or balcony, the right patio lighting is crucial for the overall impression. It is the light that sets the tone – from early spring evenings to late summer nights. Rechargeable lamps are an easy way to create ambiance on the patio without cords or installation. They are easy to move and work just as well on the dining table as by the lounge area or sun lounger. Portable lamps for outdoor use provide soft and inviting lighting and contribute to a more thought-out overall look. Perfect for those who want to combine function with stylish design on the patio. 5. A lounge set for a relaxed patio A lounge set is the foundation of an inviting patio and creates a natural place for relaxation. With the right outdoor lounge furniture, you get an area that works just as well for quiet moments as for social occasions. Choose a lounge set for the patio with generous seat cushions and materials adapted for outdoor use. A well-thought-out combination of sofa, armchairs, and coffee table provides both comfort and a clear structure in your outdoor environment. To create a more cozy feel, you can supplement with pillows, throws, and an outdoor rug. This softens the overall look and makes the lounge set feel like a natural extension of the home. With the right choice, your outdoor lounge set becomes an obvious gathering point – a place to relax, socialize, and enjoy the season. Let summer's bright days and long evenings take center stage.

Eichholtz Spring / Summer 2026 – The Art of Color
With the launch of Eichholtz Spring / Summer 2026, the brand introduces The Art of Color collection – a tribute to the power of color in the home. Color defines the atmosphere of a room, shapes how we experience a home, and influences light, architecture, and emotions alike. In this collection, Eichholtz explores how color can create depth, warmth, and balance in everyday spaces. The result is a series of furniture, lighting, textiles, and interior details that together create interiors that feel both timeless and vibrant. Color that shapes the home Color is more than just a design component – it is a way to express personality. In The Art of Color, Eichholtz works with a rich palette where deep jewel tones meet soft natural colors and elegant patinas. The shade of each piece of furniture or detail is carefully chosen to create a harmonious whole. Some products have a distinct color character, while others carry the spirit of color through subtle materials and surfaces. The result is interiors that are not only visually appealing but also affect how a room is perceived – from calming earth tones to energizing accent colors. The collection particularly highlights warm and saturated colors such as burnt orange, golden hues, and deep turquoise. These tones create a dramatic yet balanced expression and give the room a sense of exclusivity. When these are combined with black details and deep jewel tones, a layer-upon-layer effect emerges where each element contributes to a curated whole. The colors serve as a visual foundation that binds furniture, lighting, and accessories together in a harmonious composition. Designer collaboration with Corey Damen Jenkins One of the biggest highlights of Eichholtz Spring / Summer 2026 is an exclusive lighting collaboration with the internationally acclaimed American interior designer Corey Damen Jenkins. Jenkins is known for his sophisticated interiors where color, texture, and pattern are combined in a dynamic and layered design language. He is listed on the AD100, Elle Décor A-List, and 1stDibs 50, and his work has been published in, among others, Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, House Beautiful, and Veranda. In this collaboration with Eichholtz, Jenkins has created a series of sculptural, Art Deco-inspired fixtures. The collection draws inspiration from historical design periods but interprets them through a modern lens. The forms reference, among other things: Art Deco architecture from the 1920s and 30s neoclassical details motifs from ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome organic shapes inspired by nature The result is lighting that functions as jewelry for the home – expressive design objects where the light becomes an obvious part of the room's identity. See the collection here The inspiration behind the collection is broad and international. Jenkins has drawn references from ancient civilizations, neoclassical architecture, and organic elements from nature. Motifs like shell shapes, alabaster, water, and floral details are woven together with more architectural forms to create a series of fixtures with a distinct identity. The collection is also an expression of Jenkins' vision of modern maximalism – where color, material, and structure are allowed to take space without losing elegance. The fixtures are designed to be combined with different styles and environments, from contemporary urban homes to more classic interiors. In his lighting collection for Eichholtz, Corey Damen Jenkins interprets glamour through a modern lens. The silhouettes of the fixtures reflect the iconic lines of classic skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, where the contrast between material, structure, and light creates an expression that feels both dramatic and elegant. The result is a collection where glamour is not about excess, but about a balance between form, material, and light – a modern interpretation of classic elegance that gives the room both character and depth. Inspired by nature The colors and materials of nature play a central role in the collection. Green shades, natural stone, textured fabrics, and botanical silhouettes create environments that feel both fresh and down-to-earth. The green color scale acts as a calming background while enhancing the sense of natural elegance and discreet luxury. Down-to-earth elegance and timeless comfort Beyond colorful elements, the collection also highlights earthy tones such as chocolate brown, walnut, and caramel. These shades provide the interior with a sense of calm and deep warmth. Materials such as wood, leather, and textiles with soft structures create a cozy atmosphere where comfort and aesthetics meet. Modern classicism A recurring idea in the collection is modern classicism – where historical references are interpreted through contemporary design. Furniture with sculptural forms, elegant metals, and well-considered proportions create a sense of modern grandeur. One example is the Chambertin coffee table, whose handmade base in vintage brass is combined with modern materials and proportions. This balance between classic and modern is one of Eichholtz's most distinct design signatures. A new rug collection with Maison Moghadam The collection also includes a colorful collaboration with Kamyar Moghadam from Maison Moghadam, a name with a long tradition of exclusive handmade rugs. The history behind Maison Moghadam dates back to Monaco in the 1960s, where Kamyar's father, Alexander Moghadam, opened the legendary Galerie Moghadam after being personally invited by Princess Grace of Monaco. In the new collection, Kamyar Moghadam combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design ideas. The rugs showcase a wide variety of techniques and expressions: deconstructed panel patterns hand-carved structures with thousands of small details geometric motifs with a graphic character botanical patterns inspired by nature Each rug serves as a foundation in the room – a textile architecture that creates rhythm, depth, and personality in the interior. A greeting from Eichholtz Interior design has always been closely associated with color. Color is a powerful tool that shapes both rooms and emotions. It influences how we experience a home, highlights light and architecture, and creates a natural rhythm in the room. At the same time, color can affect our well-being – it can lift the mood, create calm, and contribute to a sense of balance in everyday life. In the new collection, Eichholtz explores the power of color through furniture, lighting, and interior details where each object has its own tone or patina. Some products carry a distinct color character, while others express the spirit of color more subtly. The choice of colors in our homes is always personal – a way to create an environment that reflects both style and feeling. As we now present the new collections, we are also proud of our strong relationships with partners around the world. Eichholtz continues to grow internationally, with new Brand Stores opening globally over the coming months. Our ambition has always been to inspire. Behind every product lies the commitment of our design team and the craftsmanship of skilled manufacturers around the world. We are proud to share this collection with you – and hope that it inspires new expressions in your home.

Inspiration from real homes – how to style our furniture
The best part of our work is seeing our furniture come to life in your homes.When they move from the showroom to your everyday life, they transform and become part of something personal. In this turn-of-the-century villa, the Normandie table lamp from Artwood has moved into the living room. Normandie features a timeless design language with a clear, well-balanced silhouette. The wooden base provides weight and character, while the lampshade (Classic in size Large) softens the expression and spreads a warm, inviting light. In this living room, the Percy dining chair from Eichholtz takes its place as a sculptural accent. The rounded shape and the light-colored fabric soften the room, while the legs in mappa burl veneer add depth and a warm, vivid texture. Mappa burl is a veneer with characteristic, swirling grains that create a rich and organic expression. Throughout 2025 and 2026, we have seen more and more furniture and interior details in this specific type of veneer – a clear movement toward more tactile surfaces and materials with personality. In this living room, styled by @stylingvision, the Rockdale armchair from Eichholtz claims a natural spot. The arched silhouette softens the room's lines and creates a balanced whole. Upholstered in the Sunbeam Black bouclé fabric, the armchair gains a tactile depth that is both seen and felt. The textured surface adds warmth, while the dark tone gives the room elegance and a distinct presence. Here, Rockdale functions as much as a comfortable piece of seating furniture as a design element with strong form – a piece of furniture that brings the room together without dominating. At the home of @pappapappadotter, the Montparnasse chandelier from Eichholtz is placed over the dining table, becoming a natural focal point in the room. It frames the table, creates a distinct zone, and gives the entire interior a strong visual anchor. With its two tiers of glass rods, it spreads a vibrant light and creates reflections that add depth and movement. Its Art Deco-inspired form is a modern tribute to 1920s elegance. At the home of @pappapappadotter, the Centre Table Bonheur from Eichholtz has taken on a new role. Instead of acting as a dining table, it serves here as a hallway table – styled with a generous vase and flowers that create a welcoming first impression. The 12 mm thick glass top with beveled edges gives the table an airy yet exclusive feel. The glass reflects the light and lets the room's architecture take center stage, while the shape provides a clear presence. Above it hangs the Hutchinson pendant lamp from Eichholtz. With its timeless design language and subtle references to 1950s and 60s design, it elevates the room and enhances the whole. Together, the table and lighting create a hallway that feels both considered and unexpected. At the home of @kevinskvadratmeter, the Avignon dining chair from Artwood frames the dining room with a calm and cohesive feel. The long upholstery in Sophie Linen fabric gives the chair a soft and elegant expression that creates a more cozy whole around the table. The timeless shape ensures the chair works just as well in classic as in more modern environments, while the solid construction provides stability and comfort – especially appreciated during long dinners and social evenings. Avignon is available with legs in both Black Oak and Pearl Grey, making it easy to adapt the expression to the room's tone and material choices. At the home of @jo_swe, the York sofa and York armchairs from Eichholtz create a soft contrast to the room's classic architecture. The generous, rounded forms meet the turn-of-the-century details and painted walls in a balanced dialogue between the historical and the modern. Together with the Nerone coffee table from Eichholtz, the seating area gets a clear anchor. The dark table gives weight and structure to the room, while the light, textile furniture creates an inviting and cozy feel. Here, we see how well-considered proportions and material choices can elevate a room without taking over – a harmonious whole where form, comfort, and architecture interact.

DECORATING WITH CUSHIONS – INSPIRATION, TIPS & STYLING
Cushions are one of the simplest details to work with when you want to update the feel of your home. With the right choice of color, material, and shape, cushions can create both harmony and contrast—while giving the room a more cozy and well-considered expression. In this guide, we walk you through how to decorate with cushions in a stylish way, how to create balance between seasonal trends and timeless design, and how to combine new favorites with classic choices. In the article, we cover: 1. How to build a timeless base with cushions 2. How color choices affect the overall room 3. How to combine patterns and materials 4. How to adapt cushions to rooms and furniture 5. How small changes with cushions can make a big impact 1. Build a timeless base with the right cushions A well-considered cushion base makes it easy to change your home over time. By choosing cushions in neutral colors and classic materials, you create a stable foundation that works all year round. These cushions can remain season after season and be complemented with new expressions whenever you want to update the feel. Here, high-quality classic cushions are a safe choice for both the sofa and the bed. A timeless base makes it easy to build further with color, pattern, and texture without the overall look feeling cluttered. 2. Use color to set the tone of the room Color is one of the most effective tools when decorating with cushions. This year, we see blue tones taking center stage again—colors that create calm, space, and a harmonious expression, perfect for both spring and summer. At the same time, warmer shades provide a soft contrast and contribute to a more vibrant impression. By keeping the color palette cohesive, even when mixing different hues, you create a balanced and deliberate result that feels both modern and timeless. 3. Mix patterns and materials for a vibrant expression Combining patterned and solid-colored cushions is an effective way to create depth in your interior. Feel free to vary textures like linen, cotton, and wool to give the room more character. Patterns in different colors and shades add personality and make the sofa or bed feel more inviting, while a well-considered mix keeps the overall look calm and harmonious. 4. Adapt the cushions to the room and furniture The number of cushions you choose and how they are placed should be adapted to the size of the room and the shape of the furniture. A larger sofa can handle several cushions in varying sizes, while an armchair or smaller sofa often benefits from a more pared-back expression. In the bedroom, cushions can be used to create a hotel-like feel through layering, while cushions in the living room often serve as a way to tie the room's colors and materials together. 5. Small changes that make a big impact Swapping out cushion covers or adding a few new cushions is a simple way to change a room without major interventions. This makes cushions one of the most flexible interior design choices—perfect for those who want to update their home according to the season or their mood. By combining seasonal newcomers with timeless classics, you create a home that feels vibrant yet sustainable. When you decorate with cushions, quality, material, and expression are decisive for the final result. By combining new seasonal favorites with timeless choices, you create a home that feels both vibrant and long-lasting. At Stockton, you will find a carefully curated selection of cushions from Artwood, known for their natural materials, earthy colors, and relaxed elegance, as well as classic cushions from Eichholtz, where sophisticated design meets high quality. Together, they give you the opportunity to create a personal and well-considered interior where the cushions serve equally well as style statements and complementary details—season after season.

Interior design trends 2026: Luxurious warmth, personal expression and design that tells a story
As we enter 2026, the aesthetic of the home is evolving towards something deeper, warmer and more personal. The stripped-down minimalism is being replaced by interiors that invite, embrace and inspire. We see a clear desire for homes that reflect style, identity and comfort — preferably with elements of exclusive craftsmanship and timeless design from brands such as Eichholtz, Jonathan Adler, Artwood, Norrdal and New Mags. 1. A rich color palette that signals luxury and harmony Brown continues its upward journey, replacing the cooler beige tones that many have previously gravitated towards. Together with olive green, plum, muted yellows and burnt orange tones, it creates a sophisticated base. At the same time, we see more of emerald green and deep blue, two colors that give the interior an exclusive depth — an aesthetic that often recurs in the collections from Eichholtz. 2. Retro heating with a modern twist The soft lines of the 60s and 70s are given new life. Rounded shapes, leather, walnut, generous sofas and tactile fabrics create a home that feels both nostalgic and modern. Elegant statement armchairs, sculpted lamps, and organic silhouettes — think Jonathan Adler meets contemporary European luxury. 3. Embroidery, details and textile splendor We are moving towards a more romantic, craft-driven aesthetic. Fine embroideries, floral textiles and textured surfaces add depth and character. Here, Artwood and Norrdal stand strong with their natural materials and timeless textures that make the home warm and inviting. 4. Layers upon layers — maximalism in a sophisticated way 2026 offers a new form of maximalism: well-thought-out, harmonious and personal. We mix patterns, colors, books, decor and art — preferably in layers that create a home rich in visual impressions. New Mag's books and coffee table titles are becoming key players in this trend, as they transform every table and shelf into a personal story. 5. Tactile carpets and decorated surfaces Floors and ceilings are getting more attention. We see large, patterned rugs, graphic expressions and colorful compositions. A rug is no longer a detail — it defines the room. 7. Crafts and unique objects take up space 2026 will be a year where we value craftsmanship over perfection. Hand-blown glass, ceramics, unique shapes and limited collections will be sought after. Here, both Jonathan Adler and Eichholtz stand strong — their details and decorative objects make the home personal and luxurious without feeling overworked. 8. Playful luxury & surprising details We leave the predictable behind and step into homes filled with color, contrasts and charm. Large sculptures, unexpected combinations, humor in design and colorful accents create homes with character. Jonathan Adler's design philosophy is completely in line with this trend. 2026 invites us to create homes that feel alive, personal and thoughtful. Whether you’re drawn to deep colors, handcrafted details or playful touches, there’s room to let your style take center stage. With collections from Eichholtz, Jonathan Adler, Artwood, Norrdal and New Mags, you have every opportunity to shape rooms that combine modern elegance with timeless character — exactly what defines this year’s interior design trends.
