2026 Home Design Trends You’ll Find at the

Sovereign Hills Display Village

Fresh inspiration for your next build or renovation.

As we look ahead to 2026, home design is shifting toward comfort, character and connection with nature. White minimalism is taking a back seat, making room for warmer palettes, textured materials and spaces designed for real living.

At the Sovereign Hills Display Village, these emerging trends have already come to life across our 13 stunning homes - thoughtfully curated by some of the Mid North Coast’s leading builders. Here’s a look at what’s trending now (and what you can expect to see more of in the coming year).

Warm & Earthy Tones

Say goodbye to cool greys — 2026 is all about warmth. Rich timbers, sandy neutrals and muted terracotta accents create a welcoming foundation that feels grounded and timeless.
You’ll find this palette woven beautifully through kitchens, living areas and cabinetry choices across the village.

Green is the New Neutral

Soft sage and olive tones are becoming the go-to backdrop for modern Australian interiors. These hues pair perfectly with timber, stone and organic textures for a calm, understated look.

Splashes of Colour

2026 embraces colour. Rather than high contrast, homes are opting for warm, tonal variations such as bronze tiling, deep rusts, purple hues and rich feature walls that add depth without overwhelming the space.

Layered Textures

Texture is having a major moment. Think bouclé cushions, woven rugs, natural linen, ribbed cabinetry and matte finishes. These layered elements help create homes that feel lived-in, cosy and full of character.

Natural Materials

Australia’s love for stone, timber and organic finishes is only growing stronger. Natural materials not only look beautiful but also link your interior to the surrounding landscape.

Warm Minimalism

Minimalism is evolving into something softer. Clean lines remain, but they’re paired with plush furniture, sculptural décor and gentle curves.

Whether you’re planning to build, renovate or simply searching for fresh inspiration, the Display Village is the perfect place to explore what’s new in modern Australian living.
