What’s Trending in Homewares – Summer 2026
Summer 2026 is calling for homewares that feel light, sustainable, and alive with personality. Here are trends, picks, and styling ideas we’re loving at the Trove - especially those that align with our Leaves & Fishes’ ethos of natural beauty and quiet luxury.
Key Trends for 2026
Biophilic design & greenery: Bring plants inside—and outside. Interiors that blur indoor/outdoor feel will dominate.
Sustainable materials: Recycled timber, rattan, cork, and low-impact fabrics. Ethical sourcing is central.
Multifunctional and adaptable pieces: Think modular, lightweight, and nursery-to-living-room friendly.
Warm earth tones, textured surfaces: Natural clay, ochres, soft terracotta, linen, and tactile finishes.
Great-for-Environment Picks
Bondi Wash (Australian botanical cleaning & personal care): Beautiful in form and function, ideal for Christmas stockings or guest bathrooms.
Zero-waste brands like Skipper (just-add-water refills) help reduce plastic and waste.
Eco homewares & furniture: Look for offerings from The Green Collective and other Australian sustainable furniture shops.
Feature: Timber Day Beds
One of our favourite pieces for indoor/outdoor lounging:
Use sustainably sourced hardwoods or reclaimed timber.
Dress them with long weather-resistant linen cushions in neutral tones.
Style with throw blankets, plants, and woven baskets to soften edges.
Place them on patios, terraces, or even in shaded garden corners - they become destination spots in your own property.
Styling Tips
Combine potted greenery and trailing vines for texture and life.
Use natural fabrics (linen, cotton) as throws or pillow covers.
Pair soft ambient lighting - lanterns, rattan pendants - for warm summer evenings.
Use earthy ceramics and handmade wares for table settings.
