New Year, New Home: 2026 Interior Trends for Window Coverings, Wallpaper, and Furniture

As 2026 begins, many homeowners in Northern Mindanao and Cagayan de Oro are giving their living spaces a fresh start. Whether you’re upgrading a new house or refreshing your long-time family home, this year’s interior trends focus on warmth, comfort, and smarter, more intentional design. From window coverings to wallpaper and furniture, here are the trends shaping Filipino homes in 2026.

A Cozier Home: Warm Minimalism

Minimalism as a concept is still popular to this day, but in 2026 comes a softer, welcome twist. Warm minimalism blends simplicity with comfort, perfect for homes where you want rooms to look more open and inviting.

For this aesthetic, pick from our choices of neutral curtains and blinds with soft textures, such as linen-like fabrics or light filtering shades. For large windows, we would recommend roller shades, sunscreen window coverings found in our catalogue.

For your walls, a subtle textured wallpaper with neutral colors, such as the shades found in our Smart collection. Pair these with clear-lined furniture for that clean and homey vibe.

Curved and Sculptural Furniture Designs

This coming year, curved sofas, round tables, arched shelves, and sculptural accent chairs are in. Their organic shapes create a softer, more relaxed feel, bringing a sense of ease to any space. These pieces work especially well in gathering areas like the living room. They’re perfect for making guests feel comfortable while still showing off your style.

Simple roller blinds or a sheer curtain are the best match for your furniture. It keeps the focus on them. If you decide to add wallpaper, choose designs with soft waves, arches, or flowing patterns to accentuate the curves

Earthy and Warm Color Palettes

Warm colors are still dominant in 2026 interiors. Colors such as terracotta, clay, warm beige, olive green, and muted gold are ideal for the typical Filipino homes because of how they complement natural light and local furniture materials like rattan, acacia, and Narra.

When it comes to window coverings, consider earth-toned blackout curtains, wooden blinds, or textured roman shades. For wallpapers, soft, earthy gradients or botanical motifs match beautifully with wood furniture. All of these can be found in our catalogues at Urban Lifestyle. Here are some examples:

Nature-Inspired and Biophilic Interiors

A nature-inspired design or aesthetic has fast become a favored trend in homes across Northern Mindanao, bringing the outside within. Using real plants, natural textures, and materials that mimic organic forms.

Covering your windows with bamboo, jute, or warm wood-toned blinds, paired with wallpaper featuring leaf or stone-like textures, enhances this aesthetic. Adding a few indoor plants can further elevate the natural vibe.

Flexible, Multi-Functional Living Spaces

With more people working from home and trying to make the most of their space, flexible design is becoming more popular. Multifunctional furniture, such as modular sofas, foldable tables, or ottomans with storage, helps you adapt to daily needs.

Pair these with easy-to-adjust blinds or layered curtains for better control of light and privacy. Wallpaper that’s clean and understated also helps the room’s atmosphere fit any occasion. With multifunctional furniture and room accents, you’ll have a room that can serve as a workspace, guest room, and hobby corner.

Statement Lighting as a Design Feature

Lighting is an essential element of interior design. Pendant lights, sculptural lamps, warm LED strips, and layered lighting setups are increasingly becoming essential parts of modern room designs.

To complement bold lighting, choose simple curtains or blinds that don’t compete visually. Neutral or monochrome wallpaper creates a balanced backdrop that highlights your lighting fixtures.

Here are some suggestions as to what light fixtures you could consider from Urban Lifestyle:

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials

Mindanao homeowners are becoming more conscious of eco-friendly choices. Expect more window coverings made from bamboo, natural fibers, and recycled textiles, as well as wallpaper and furniture using sustainable materials. These options look stylish, last longer, and reduce environmental impact.

Some options for you to consider from Urban Lifestyle:

Artisan and Handcrafted Home Accents

Filipino craftsmanship shines in 2026 interiors. Handwoven blinds, locally made rattan furniture, and handcrafted décor pieces add personality and cultural warmth to your home.

Combining artisan furniture with textured wallpaper and light curtains helps their craftsmanship stand out. This gives the home a more modern, uniquely Filipino feel.
