Why it’s trending
Ikea is beloved by many for its affordable furniture and decor, and fun and interactive showrooms—and of course, we can’t forget the food either. So when it dropped its 2026 style guide, we had to see what the brand had in store.
Packed with inspiration, the style guide covers home trends from the last 40 years, as well as the major and micro trends you’re bound to see all over Ikea and the home space. Check out Ikea’s 2026 trend predictions, along with some of our top picks, to try them at home.
The Art of Storage

Storage is essential for every home, but the art of storage is all about taking things up a notch. Storage can be practical, stylish, and the perfect opportunity to display items near and dear to your heart, whether it’s a collection you’ve been curating for years or daily essentials you can’t live without.
You can easily build around a storage piece you already have with funky wallpaper and statement lighting, according to Ikea designers. You can also invest in new pieces of storage, like the colorful $30 Fargsattare wall shelf, versatile side tables with open storage, wavy baskets, or a fun storage cabinet. We also can’t forget Ikea’s bestselling wall organizer, the Skadis Peg Board, in a cute set that comes in beige and Ikea’s color of the year, Rebel Pink.
Floral Daydream

Flowers can brighten up any room, regardless of the season. And the design can make its way into practically any interior decor style, too. Whether you have a farmhouse chic home, lean more modern, or love some boho flair, you can tap into this trend with both large and small furniture and decor pieces.
For a cottagecore feel, you can’t go wrong with pops of floral patterns in the form of textiles, like $15 Vildpersilja floral cushion covers, curtains, or comforter sets. For something more minimal and modern, this wooden floral paper towel holder will add some whimsy to your kitchen.
Joycore Decor
In this day and age, we’ll take all the joy we can get, and there’s no better way to infuse more into our space than with decor. “Joycore” is all about pieces in bright and bold colors that you can’t help but smile when you look at them.
In addition to the playful $40 Slanhostmal duvet cover and pillowcase set, we’re also loving this retro-style lounge chair, eye-catching wall clock, and multicolor rug. If you want to wear a little Joycore, try this striped bathrobe.
Lagom Living

Lagom is a Swedish concept that’s about creating a peaceful and balanced space. You can nail this idea, too, by curating just the right amount of items. It’s about not being too minimal, but not being a full-on maximalist.
To lean into lagom living, try decluttering items that you no longer need and bring in pieces with purpose. Think comforting decor, like the welcoming $60 Ullerslev faux sheepskin accent rug, along with clean lines and light wood tones, similar to that of this bamboo storage cart. Most importantly, you want to focus not only on how your space looks but also how it feels. At the end of the day, your home should feel like a sanctuary.
