Architecture and Interior Design Trends for 2026: Sustainability, Textures, and Biocentric Design

Trends: How the spaces of the future will be designed: more natural, human, and sensorial

Architecture and interior design are entering a new era. In 2026, spaces won’t just be designed to look good—they’ll be created to feel good. That means returning to the origins, to craftsmanship, to nature. But also to a more subtle, integrated, and emotional use of technology.

At BAMMA, we’re already applying these upcoming 2026 trends in our renovation projects. It’s a more thoughtful, sustainable, and well-being-centered approach to design.

1. Sustainability and Well-being: What Really Matters

2026 will be a turning point for conscious design. Natural, recycled, and locally sourced materials will set the tone for renovations and new constructions.

What can we expect?

  • Raw wood, clay, natural stone, linen, or thick cotton as leading materials.

  • Finishes that combine low environmental impact with high aesthetic value.

  • A clear commitment to responsible consumption, durability, and repair over disposability.

At BAMMA, we’ve been prioritizing this approach for a long time. It’s not just about looks—it’s about creating spaces that care for the planet and those who live in them. It´s about trends.

2. Warm Colors and Embracing Textures

Forget stark white and cold greys. The 2026 color palette will be warm, earthy, and immersive.

Trending colors include:

  • Earthy tones, terracotta, beige, cream, off-whites.

  • Moss and olive greens, mineral-toned blues.

  • Soft blends of neutral shades with natural pigments.

But it’s not just about color—textures will become the main language of interior design. Expect to see:

  • Natural stucco finishes.

  • Tactile, textured surfaces.

  • Fabric-covered walls.

  • Thick, organic upholstery.

Mixing will be key. At BAMMA, we believe in the power of contrast: a light linen sofa paired with an aged marble table, or a noble wood cabinet next to a sleek metal lamp.

3. Biocentric Design: Bringing Nature Inside

Biocentric architecture isn’t a trend—it’s a necessity. And in 2026, it will become even more visible. But what does it really mean? It’s about designing spaces that enhance human well-being through nature.

How is it applied?

  • Incorporating vertical gardens, interior patios, and integrated greenery.

  • Enhancing and controlling natural light using skylights, screens, or filtered glass.

  • Using raw, untreated natural materials.

  • Maximizing thermal comfort with passive systems like cross ventilation and natural insulation.

This doesn’t just transform the look of a home—it transforms its energy. At BAMMA, this is how we design: because a home with light, plants, and quality materials is a home you truly live in.

4. Organic Forms, Sensory Technology

2026 will be the year design softens. Straight lines will loosen. Shapes will become curved, fluid, and asymmetrical, designed to better fit the human body and natural rhythms.

Alongside this organic aesthetic, technology will also evolve.

  • It will integrate seamlessly, without dominating.

  • It becomes sensorial: light systems that respond to movement, immersive sound without visible speakers, smart climate control that learns your routines.

  • The technical won’t compete with the human—it will enhance it.

Wood–metal–glass combinations will help strike that perfect balance between natural and contemporary.

5. The New Minimalism: Warm, Imperfect, and Real

Minimalism isn’t going anywhere—but it is transforming. Less is more no longer means cold or empty. It means order with texture, serenity with soul.

Expect handcrafted pieces, objects with history, asymmetrical arrangements, and beautifully imperfect details. The result? Spaces that feel calm and grounded—never sterile.
