Interior Trends 2028

 A selection from ATHOME Spring Summer 2028.

Colour gains character through combination. Materials invite closer attention. Familiar forms reveal new possibilities through a change in proportion, surface or finish.

 

ATHOME Spring Summer 2028 is a professional interior trend book exploring colour, material, form, finish and print design through six distinctive directions. Developed for home decor brands, designers, buyers and product developers, it connects emerging design ideas with practical collection development. The selection below introduces some of the observations explored in the book.

Making room for attention

As images and possibilities multiply, undivided attention becomes increasingly valuable. In design, this brings a renewed appreciation for clear forms, considered materials and the space around an object. Innovation can begin with a sharper choice: giving something enough room to be noticed, understood and appreciated.

Colour in conversation

Deep red takes on a different character beside mustard gold. Gloss introduces light; velvet gives the same combination depth. For 2028, colour direction lies as much in these relationships as in individual shades. Proportion, placement and material determine how colours work together and give a collection its identity.

Metal in bloom

Fine wire, folded sheet and open mesh give metal an unexpectedly delicate expression. Petals and stems become structures, while metallic threads create surfaces with the lightness of textile. Floral references move into the construction of an object, suggesting new approaches to lighting, decorative accessories and tactile detail.

Holding a fleeting moment

Movement continues to evolve as a design language. For 2028, attention turns towards capturing a passing gesture: grass caught in the wind, a curve suspended in glass, a reflection that seems to linger. Fluid shapes and shifting light give solid objects a sense of movement, inviting a longer look.

Gestures of hospitality

Freshness finds expression in gathered flowers, generous arrangements and objects that invite sharing. A vase or a carefully chosen fruit bowl can help turn an everyday setting into a gesture of welcome. Hospitality becomes a starting point for design: considering what an object makes possible, as well as how it looks.

Softness across materials

Softness emerges through texture, contour and reflection. A sculpted rug creates depth through its tactile surface, while ribbed glass casts a softly diffused reflection onto satin-finished metal. Colour and light connect these different materials, showing how a sense of softness can extend across a collection.

The inflated outline

The visual language of inflatables finds expression in ceramics and glass. Cushion-like wall objects, swollen handles and softly bulging vessels suggest air held beneath a surface. Pinched edges and seam-like details give hard materials an unexpected softness, bringing a playful tension between what an object looks like and how it feels.

Designed for two

Two seats joined around a table. A board game left open for another round. Two small glasses of sherry within reach. Familiar rituals offer a rich starting point for design, bringing attention to the objects that help people spend time together. Seating, games and tableware become part of the encounter, shaping how we sit, share and stay.

White creates space. Black brings structure.

White opens up a composition, while black lines organise it. From the fine lines of a curtain to upholstery piping and furniture frames, dark accents introduce rhythm and definition. Their placement and proportion determine how the whole composition reads.
