Each year, Copenhagen's 3 Days of Design offers a glimpse into how homes are evolving and the design directions that will influence interiors, furniture and décor around the world. This year's festival highlighted a move towards spaces that feel warmer, more personal and deeply connected to comfort and craftsmanship. Based on key observations from the event, here are the top trends our customers can expect to see shaping homes in the coming year.
Warm Neutrals Are Here to Stay
The foundation of many interiors showcased at 3 Days of Design featured soft, warm neutrals that create a calming backdrop. Rather than stark whites or cool greys, it’s evolving into creamy tones, sand hues and warm beiges, paired with richer accents such as sage green, mid blues, burgundy, terracotta and olive.
What this means for your home: Layer warm, tonal colours for a timeless colour palette. Introduce accent pieces through cushions, artwork or decorative objects.
Green Evolves into Softer, natural Shades
Green continues to dominate interiors, but the trend is shifting towards more sophisticated moss and sage tones. These colours work beautifully with timber and neutrals, creating spaces that feel grounded and restorative.
Why we love it: Green remains one of the easiest ways to bring a sense of nature indoors while maintaining versatility across a range of styles.
Warm Chrome is the New Metallic Must-Have
One of the standout trends from the festival was the resurgence of chrome, but with a softer, more refined approach. Rather than highly industrial finishes, warm chrome was used as an accent alongside natural wood tones and tactile materials. It appeared in lighting, furniture, dinnerware and more.
Trend takeaway: Look for chrome accents that feel elegant and inviting rather than ultra-modern or commercial.
Shine & Sheen: How to style high-gloss furniture
High-gloss furniture made a strong appearance, but in a way that felt balanced and sophisticated. Glossy finishes were being paired with warm neutrals and natural materials to create contrast and depth. The result is a look that feels contemporary while remaining comfortable and liveable.
Easy update: Incorporate a single high-gloss side table, cabinet or decorative piece to create visual interest within a more organic interior.
The Rise of Curated Maximalism
Minimalism is making room for a more expressive approach. The keyword, however, is curated. Designers showcased meaningful layering, rich colours and statement pieces without creating clutter. Bold sofas, sculptural decor and striking accessories stood out against calm, tactile backgrounds.
How to achieve the look: Invest in one standout piece, mix colours and textures thoughtfully.
Mixed Wood Tones Feel Fresh and Collected
Gone are the days of matching every timber finish throughout the home. One of the strongest trends observed was the confident mixing of light and dark wood tones within the same space. This creates interiors that feel more natural, layered and evolved over time.
Customer tip: Don't be afraid to pair oak with walnut or lighter timbers with deeper stained finishes. Contrast creates character.
Stripes Continue Their Reign
Patterns are still having a moment, and stripes remain a clear favourite. Seen across both indoor and outdoor settings, stripes add timeless appeal while bringing movement and personality to a space.
Whether through cushions, rugs, outdoor textiles or occasional furniture, stripes offer an easy way to introduce pattern without overwhelming a room.
Looking Ahead
The overwhelming message from 3 Days of Design is clear, homes are becoming warmer, more layered and more personal. From earthy colour palettes and mixed timber finishes to curated maximalism and refined metallic accents, the focus is on creating spaces that feel authentic, comfortable and lived in.
