The design & colour trends to look out for in 2026 2027

Pinterest released 21 of their trend predictions for 2026 but our 2 favourites are: Gimme Gummy and FunHaus.

Whether you loved or hated their choice, the Pantone Colour of The Year, Cloud Dancer, will still be seen & used across many creative fields this year from fashion to interiors.

Adobe’s 2026 Creative Trends report dove into several visual trends we will be seeing throughout the year: All the Feels, Connectioneering, Surreal Silliness & Local Flavours.

WGSN x Coloro have announced their Colour of The Year for 2027: Luminous Blue.

Etsy also announced its 2026 Color of the Year, Patina Blue, PLUS the first ever Texture of the Year, Washed Linen.
