Pattern, texture & nature: key trends throughout '26
T his edition of our WoodBook shines a spotlight on the use of calming warm tones, pattern and texture within flooring and beyond. In 2026, timber planks as wall panelling and wood veneers will continue to introduce warmth, texture and architectural depth into a space. Designers and homeowners are increasingly using wood to create feature walls that feel refined rather than rustic, favoring slim profiles, clean lines and soft, natural tones that enhance a room without overwhelming it. This trend celebrates timber as a tactile, calming backdrop, which is ideal for living areas, bedrooms and transitional spaces where a sense of quiet luxury is desired. Premium veneers such as our Elegante range, introduce three-dimensional natural beauty to walls, ceilings and curved architectural features, whereas materials such as Notte, from our Italian Collection (p.99), exemplify the type of contemporary timber surface that works beautifully
on vertical applications, helping to create interiors that feel both grounded and elevated. With open-plan layouts continuing to dominate residential design, flooring has become an effective tool for subtle spatial zoning. Homeowners and designers are increasingly using pattern variations - such as herringbone, chevron or Versailles panels - to guide movement, define living areas or frame dining zones without relying on physical partitions.
However you are planning to use our luxury surfaces within your upcoming projects, our expert team can provide advice and inspiration on the latest trends to elevate the entire space. Paul Moody Global Marketing and Insight Director
