We’re looking ahead at colour trends for 2026 – as this year comes to an end, we’re thinking of easy and impactful ways to refresh our spaces. Here are some of our colour palette predictions for interior design schemes in 2026!
If you’re looking to redecorate your space and inject a new colour – don’t forget you can enjoy 20% off Coat Paints by using our discount code “CCNBED20“We don’t make any commission from you using this code, we simply love their paint colours and quality!
Warm, cosy and inviting – we love the use of vibrant reds and deep burgundy within a bedroom scheme. Whether you introduce this colour through bedding, lamps or a full wall colour drench, you’re sure to warm up your space.
We love the Cotton Stripe bedding for an injection of colour and hitting another design trend this year – stripes! For a more classic look, the Leaf Pattern Muslin bedding is a new staff and customer favourite. You can also layer a bedspread or throw on top. We’re currently loving the Stonewash Cotton Bedspread for added texture or the Stitched Velvet bedspread for a more luxurious feel.
Any of our upholstered beds look great with a red headboard – we love the depth of the “Rum Raisin” velvet fabric used with the rich Walnut Carlisle bed base below. The Smoked Walnut Malabar also looks incredible against an earthy red backdrop, adding to the warm and cosy feel – perfect for a bedroom scheme!

A classic calm and relaxing colour, we’re loving the use of muted blue shades in a bedroom design.
Most timbers work well with shades of blue. The Maple Leith paired with Gingham Navy bedding provides a light and fresh feel, whereas the Oak Pimlico balances the cool of the blue Gingham bedding with warm for a harmonious and balanced look. The rich Walnut of the Harrow four poster bed paired with muted blue stonewash bedding provides a more sophisticated feel.
If you’re thinking of ordering an upholstered bed base, take a look at Parquet Denim from Abraham Moon or Amatheon Dew from Warwick.

Although mustard yellows have been popular for quite some time, the muted butter yellow shades are on the rise and are perfect for a warm and sunny bedroom look! Pair with dark rich neutral shades or dusty blues mentioned above.
A new staff favourite are the Colourful Modern Cuckoo Clock – the Ochre yellow colour adds a subtle yellow note but could also lean sandy/neutral depending on your interior. We also love the Abstract Colour Block throw for a soft layer of cosy warmth. If you prefer more of a golden tone, take a look at the Soft Merino Lambswool throw in Saffron.
The Ash Oregon below compliments the soft yellow wall whilst still keeping a modern Japandi look. The Walnut Carlisle however gives a more mid-century style, the chocolate brown walnut contrasting and complimenting the soft yellow shade. The Carlisle is finished with Parquet Gold for another tonal layer, building up visual interest without introducing too many competing colours. Keeping your bedroom bright but calming rather than busy.

One of our (and everybody else’s!) favourites – green isn’t going anywhere in 2026! The new neutral that we’ve been using for years will be just as popular as ever next year. From deep earthy olive tones to light sages, we don’t think you can go wrong with green.
Layering greens with your existing neutrals is easy. Take a look at the Contemporary Textured Cotton Bedspread for a simple, modern layer. Or the Floral Velvet Ruffle bedspread for a more traditional look with added visual interest and pattern. New favourites in our bed linen collection include the Green Checked Brushed Cotton, Woodland Duvet Set and Seersucker Duvet Cover Set.
As we see in nature, any timber looks fantastic with any shade of green. Our personal favourites: a Cherry Carnaby with Olive green, Walnut Bamford with Forrest green, Ash Iona with Sage green or Oak Camden with a bright leafy green.
Some of the most popular fabrics selected by customers are often greens: Abraham Moon’s Parquet Sage, Warwick’s Amatheon Willow and Eco Velvet Vine to name a few!

Although pale beige has been popular for some time, we’re seeing a rise of deeper earthier tones which can easily be paired with your existing paler decor.
Achieve a bold contrast with a chocolate brown faux fur or heavyweight wool throw over pale linen bedding. Layering tones and textures is the aim of the game to ensure the space doesn’t feel flat. Take the decor to the next level by colour drenching your space, a lighter neutral tone will not feel too dramatic but will add that modern, cohesive touch.
Any of our sustainably sourced timbers can work well with an earthy neutral tone – Black oak works particularly well for a bold yet cosy feel, see the Black oak Carlisle below. Our new English Oak Camden adds a lighter, classic look with warmth and texture.
