Commercial Furniture and Interior Trends for 2026
Brand identity plays the most important part in defining your venue’s look and feel, but furniture and design trends are a great way of keeping your interiors and outdoor spaces relevant and up to date. And it’s a good time to refine your offering as market analysis suggests the UK Hospitality Market will grow at a rate of 4.5% per year from 2026 to 2032.
The increasing number of hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafes, combined with a desire for high-end, quality design is seeing a rise in demand for stylish, on-trend, commercial furniture that will not just fill spaces, but tell a story and engage customers.
We’ve delved into the trend forecasts for 2026, and filtered them down to our three favourites, all of which could be integrated into existing interiors, even if it’s just a nod here and there rather than a complete makeover. Which one is your favourite?
1. Industrial Luxe - Elegant and Edgy
The industrial look has been around for decades, but for 2026 it’s being given a luxury twist. The ‘Industrial Luxe’ look merges the raw with the refined and highlights a desire for spaces that balance authenticity and sophistication. The juxtaposition of materials is key here; metallic edged marble countertops sit against exposed brick walls while sumptuous velvet armchairs add comfort to cool concrete floors. It’s a marriage of utilitarian architectural elements with a rich colour palette and luxurious finishes.

- Our customisable Darwen Lounge Armchair looks stunning in teal velvet. The rich jewel tone and dark wooden frame will add warmth and sophistication to an industrial interior.
- Our Savanna range combines industrial-inspired tubular metal frames with the luxury of genuine leather and a backrest crafted from natural cane.
- A touch of brass or brushed gold like the edges of our Omega Table Tops or the frames of the Zanuso collection will add a touch of sophistication without being too bling!
2. Earthy Shades - Comfortable and Connected
Recent years have seen a move away from stark neutrals and monochromatic colour schemes. Instead, people are yearning for warmth, comfort and a touch of nostalgia. We’re seeing an inclination towards furniture in a palette of earthy tones such as terracotta, mustard, burgundy, and shades of chocolate brown.
And it’s not just colour; guests are gravitating towards softer fabrics, curved edges and layered lighting. In fact, there’s been a noticeable blurring of lines between home and hospitality – the hotel lobby is the new living room. Customers are looking for residential warmth and coziness. Minimalism is out and comfort, wellbeing, and human connection is in.

- Sunset shades in sumptuous textures can be mixed and matched for maximum effect. Although different in style, the Selma Armchair in terracotta boucle works well with the Style Stool in coffee and copper.
- Natural materials fit beautifully into this theme; our range of Rustic Solid Oak Table Tops not only look great, but they also retain the characterful grain and texture of the wood.
- Home comforts can be replicated in commercial environments with Soft Seating and upholstered armchairs. Our range of sofas are available in a huge range of fabrics and leather including gorgeous earthy velvets.
3. Biophilic Beauty - Sustainable and Sensory
Sustainability and eco-friendliness are nothing new, but now it’s not just a ‘nice to have’, it’s a necessity for many businesses and a driving force behind furniture selection. According to research for Novuna Business Finance, 89% of small businesses would check the sustainability credentials of a supplier before choosing to work with them.
As well as a greater expectation for eco-friendly materials, responsibly sourced wood, and recycled textiles, guests are seeking out spaces that makes them feel connected to nature, whether indoors or out. Natural materials like wood, stone, and cotton, and a palette of organic tones from sandy neutrals to deep forest greens, will help to create an environment that feels at one with nature. The addition of plenty of foliage – real not fake – will help strengthen the look that’s calm, serene, and effortlessly inviting.

- The beautiful boucle fabric in our Selma and Westbury Chairs is manufactured from 100% recycled materials that would have otherwise gone to landfill.
- The Munster Oak Barrel Table is manufactured from high-quality reclaimed solid oak from recycled barrels. It's a great eco-friendly option that will add a rustic touch to outside spaces.
- Our range of customisable furniture allows you to add your own choice of fabrics to our popular chairs. How about pairing a botanical fabric with an olive-green frame or complementing a leafy green velvet with a bold jungle print to really bring the outside in.
