With the new year comes reflection and renewal. Your home should be a source of inspiration and an ever evolving space that grows with you. The 2026 colors present a collection that offers inspiration in every design style.
Color Can Set a Tone
Color plays a powerful role in shaping your mood and mindset. Some palettes energize, while others create a sense of calming zen. This is based on personal preference and it’s an important part of home styling. Our roundup of the 2026 colors highlights leading brands and their selections for the year ahead. As a bonus, we’ll be giving ideas for window treatments. Whether on walls or throughout decor, color can dramatically transform a space.
The Colors of 2026
Behr Paint: Hidden Gem
A smoky jade with jewel-like depth, Hidden Gem weaves together subtle teal notes and gentle gray undertones. It carries a sense of calm sophistication, wrapping a room in warmth while still feeling deeply personal and lived-in.
Window Treatments
Hidden Gem makes a striking statement at the window, appearing in both solid and patterned fabrics. We expect to see it featured prominently in drapery and roman shade collections, while other shade fabrics lean toward softer, more understated interpretations. It pairs beautifully with matte black, walnut, or gold finishes.
Sherwin Williams: Universal Khaki
Offering a serene neutral for the home, Universal Khaki is both welcoming and sophisticated. This versatile hue will warm any room while serving as a subtle backdrop for furniture and accents to shine bright.
Window Treatments
Universal Khaki is set to dominate window treatments in 2026. This neutral had been a long beloved favorite for the way it blends seamlessly while providing a warm backdrop. Rollers, romans, sheers, cellular shades, and woven shades are just a few options because the possibilities are endless. Complete the look with aged brass or deep browns finishes.
Valspar: Warm Eucalyptus
Bring the calm of nature indoors with Warm Eucalyptus. This gentle green, accented with soft gray undertones, adds color without overpowering a space. It’s ideal for kitchen cabinets, laundry rooms, or home office areas.
Window Treatments
The green color family remains a timeless favorite for window coverings, from solid shades to patterned designs and from light-filtering sheers to room-darkening options. With nearly every window treatment style available in a green hue, finding the perfect fit for your home is simple. Combine it with clay-toned neutrals, white oak, and oil-rubbed bronze for a cohesive and stylish finish.
Benjamin Moore: Silhouette
Brown has stepped into the spotlight! Silhouette exudes a cozy and lived-in warmth with a touch of sophistication. Brown has a tendency to sometimes feel heavy, natural light highlights its depth without weighing down a space.
Window Treatments
Silhouette can be found across many different window treatments. Its rich and warm tones work beautifully on wood shutters and blinds, as well as fabric shades and custom draperies. Complement it with chalky ivory or antique brass for a classic look.
PPG: Warm Mahogany
Warm Mahogany gives off warmth and luxury with its deep brown-red hue. Although it feels simple and grounded, it has an elegance that makes it upscale. Use it to color drench a room (painting the walls and ceiling all the same color) for a dramatic look or for a refined finish, use as an accent on a single wall or furnishings.
Window Treatments
Red may not be the most common choice for window covering, but when it’s used it is boldly unforgettable. Shades span from soft blush to rich garnet, and from warm terracotta to deep mahogany, each bringing its own personality. Light-filtering fabrics brighten a room, while room-darkening options add depth and sophistication. Try pairing with bronzed metal, dark wood, and camel tones.
WGSN & Coloro: Transformative Teal
Optimistic and full of easy energy, Transformative Teal make a bold impression. This captivating blue and green combination is expected to appear in both subtle and statement making ways. We’re thinking floor to ceiling wallpaper, decor, art, and fabric accents.
Window Treatments
This stunning teal infuses vibrant energy into any room. In window coverings, it shines in bold solids or delicate accents, especially in silk and satin fabrics. Pair with brass, warm whites, and walnut for a serene look.
