Home design in 2026 is shifting toward warm, personal, and grounded interiors. Richer color palettes, more intentional layouts, and AI-driven decorating tools are reshaping how Hingham homeowners plan and live in their spaces. 2026 HOME DESIGN TRENDS
Color Direction Paint brands are emphasizing deeper, warmer hues. Benjamin Moore’s Silhouette AF-655 and Sherwin-Williams’ Universal Khaki (SW 6150) are emerging as sophisticated, timeless neutrals. Earthy browns, terracotta, olive greens, and warm yellows are replacing the cool grays of the past decade. Color is being used immersively through color-drenched rooms, with ceilings, walls, and trim unified in a single hue for a refined look.

Role of AI in Decorating AI-powered design tools are becoming a go-to resource for homeowners, making it easy to visualize room layouts, paint colors, furniture placement, and finishes before committing. These tools help homeowners experiment with different styles, optimize their space, and make confident decorating decisions by seeing realistic previews of changes in real time.
Layouts and Space Planning Homes are moving away from fully open floor plans toward zoned layouts that define areas for work, relaxation, and entertaining. Built-ins, subtle partitions, and varied lighting help create separation while maintaining flow. Outdoor living remains a priority, with resort-style yards designed as true extensions of the home.
