Here are 2026's biggest color trends for the home.
Clare Paint
Earthy Reds
2026 is bringing heat in the best way. This bold hue adds instant warmth to last year's earthy decor, energizing spaces that crave a little soul and drama. According to Feng Shui, red is especially lucky for 2026, sparking motivation and action. That timing feels spot-on, since 2026 ushers in the rare Year of the Fire Horse, beginning with the Chinese New Year on February 17. Expect fiery, forward-moving energy that encourages bold choices, reinvention, and freedom. Just remember: with all that intensity, balance is key — use red as a powerful accent or statement moment to harness its confidence-boosting magic without overwhelming your space. Try Clare Paint's Big Apple or Vintage hues.
Studio McGee
Classic Blues
According to Studio McGee's 2026 home decor trend report, blue is back in all the shades. From light powdery blue cabinets, says designer Shea McGee, to more traditional blues and whites like this gorgeous block print quilt in their new collection.

Classic ginger jars — those timeless lidded ceramic vessels traditionally finished in blue-and-white patterns — are also trending, according to McGee. Long used as decorative accents, they add instant polish and history to a space. According to Feng Shui, blue encourages focus while white brings clarity, so for blue lovers, this is definitely your year.
Behr Paint
Jade
Greens bring a little more heat than traditional blues. Behr’s Color of the Year, Hidden Gem, is a smoky jade that feels a bit mysterious, creating spaces that feel sophisticated, elevated, and so gorgeous.
Benjamin Moore
Silhouette
With heritage styles making a comeback, this timeless shade feels perfect for the moment. Inspired by tailored suiting, Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year Silhouette AF-655 blends rich espresso tones with hints of charcoal for a look that’s both polished and grounded. This quietly luxe hue brings depth, warmth, and elegance to your space. This is similar to Krylon's Color of the Year: Coffee Bean.
Sherwin Williams
Universal Khaki SW 6150
Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year, Universal Khaki SW 6150, proves that neutrals can feel both tailored and timeless. This cozy-yet-refined hue strikes the perfect balance between warmth and restraint (think creamy lattes or the classic trench coat), offering richness without overpowering a space. Consider it the ultimate forever neutral — versatile, calming, and adaptable.
Patina Blue
Etsy’s Color of the Year 2026 is also bringing blue back to the yard but with a little more edge. This time it's inspired by weathered metals and ocean-worn hues and we're here for it. This soulful shade adds instant depth and serenity to any room in your home. Apparently, 67 percent of Etsy followers voted for this blue coppery hue in their social media poll.
Glidden Paint
Warm Mahogany
For warm color lovers who crave neutrality, Warm Mahogany hits the sweet spot. The grounded red feels rich yet restrained and brings comfort, character, and creativity to any space. Trust your instincts with Glidden’s Color of the Year for a warm, inviting space.
IKEA
Rebel Pink
Not everything needs to be neutral and refined. A pop of pink — whether soft and blushy or bold and bright — adds instant personality to bedrooms, dining rooms, and even home offices, bringing a playful, romantic energy to everyday spaces. Enter Rebel Pink, IKEA’s Color of 2026, a confident hue that proves standing out is very much the point. True to form, IKEA delivers a shade that feels fresh, expressive, and fearless, and it pairs beautifully with the season’s most popular blues for a look that’s both modern and mood-boosting.
