Every October, magazines, trade shows, and brands begin publishing their forecasts for the following year. 2026 was no exception: between September and October, the first 2027 trend reports appeared. Taken together, they paint a picture of a warmer, more personal home, designed to last.
Here we've gathered the eight most consistent trends, with their sources, and how to incorporate them into a house or apartment in Chile and Latin America. We already reviewed the colors of the year in our article on the colors of the year 2027, So here we focus on styles, materials and ways of living.
1. Nostalgic interiors
According to Veranda, Nostalgia was huge in 2026 and will continue in 2027: people want to recapture the warmth of their childhood homes. The key, says designer Shannon Eddings, is mixing and matching: a floral or plaid tapestry, like the ones in Grandma's house, alongside contemporary pieces such as a marble coffee table or lacquered side tables.
How to apply it: Reupholster an inherited armchair with a classic print and combine it with furniture that has simple lines. A restored family heirloom can be the starting point; if you're tempted, check out our guide for Decorate with antiques and vintage furniture.
2. “Handsome” colors: deep and saturated
Designer Mark Cravotta, quoted by Veranda, speaks of the “handsome-fication” of color: understated, neutral luxury gives way to deeper, more saturated tones, such as intense greens, dark blues, chocolate, and burgundy. For Cravotta, these are colors that imply a commitment, but they never go out of style for those who don't decorate according to trends.
How to apply it: If you're afraid to paint everything, start with a piece of furniture, the inside of a bookcase, or a small bedroom. Deep tones work very well in small spaces, making them feel more inviting.
3. Materials that age well
Cravotta calls them “evolutionary materials”: hand-finished surfaces, woods and metals with wear and patina, which will look better in 20 years than on the day of installation. Veranda mentions genuine marble, unlacquered brass, travertine, and copper.
How to apply it: Replace plastic or chrome handles with unlacquered brass; choose a solid wood table instead of a laminated one; accept that use will leave marks.
4. Furniture with metal inlays
Designer Bridget Tiek predicts a lot of metal inlay work in 2027: a centuries-old technique that looks timeless and steeped in history. It will appear in flooring and woodwork, but also in furniture and accessories such as lamps, boxes, and decorative objects, according to Veranda.
How to apply it: A side table or a decorative box with brass fillets is enough to add the detail without a big investment.
5. Lampshades with personality
Boring lampshades are a thing of the past. Veranda points out that swapping a standard lampshade for a hand-painted, pleated, or patterned one is an easy and inexpensive way to add character to a space.
How to apply it: It's probably the most accessible trend of 2027. A new lampshade on your bedside or floor lamp can change the atmosphere in minutes.
6. Totally eclectic: a mix of eras
Tiek also predicts that eclecticism, or eclectic-core, This trend will dominate in 2027, with a “crazy mix of eras”: a mid-century glass desk, a Spanish lantern, Gothic-inspired chairs, and a handcrafted mirror all in the same space. Along the same lines, Floor & Decor's 2027 forecast, reported by Forbes, proposes the style Beatnik Bohemiansaturated colors, warm woods, fluted details and wood paneling on walls and ceilings, which according to expert Ashley Biscan work even in small spaces.
How to apply it: The rule to prevent eclecticism from looking chaotic is to repeat something (a color, a material, a shape) in several different pieces.
7. Calm, freshness and nature
The counterpoint to maximalism is the trend that Floor & Decor calls Calm, Cool, and CollectedNatural textures, soft patterns inspired by waves and shells, and greens and blues ranging from sage to light turquoise create spaces that feel serene, restorative, and connected to the outdoors. It works especially well in spa-like bathrooms and spaces that blend indoors and outdoors.
How to apply it: It's perfect for summer in the Southern Hemisphere. If you have a terrace or balcony, repeating a green or blue tone inside and out creates continuity; check out our ideas for decorating the terrace or balcony in summer.
8. Spaces with modular zones and furniture
The 2027 home is organized by zones. The 2027 kitchen report from NKBA It shows that defined zones, partial walls, and movable partitions are replacing the completely open plan: 811% of the designers surveyed see intentional zoning as something that's here to stay. And at the London Design Festival, Livingetc He concluded that modularity will be a trend that “will open new ground in 2027”, now more accessible and with the possibility for each person to assemble their own space.
How to apply it: Screens, open shelving that separates spaces, rugs that define areas, and modular furniture that you can reconfigure. Very useful in small apartments: we developed it in small apartment with multifunctional furniture.
What will lose strength in 2027
Based on the same reports, some things appear less relevant:
- The open 100% plan without any separation (NKBA).
- Open shelves in the kitchen: the 64% from the NKBA designers believes they are moving away from closed storage.
- Neutral and cold by defaultDeep colors and warm neutrals with brown tones are gaining ground (Veranda, Floor & Decor).
- The “catalog” spaces”, too coordinated and without history.
How to adopt the 2027 trends without renovating everything
- Choose only one trend per room. A new screen and a nostalgic tapestry can transform a living room.
- Start with what's reversible: textiles, lamps, accessories, a piece of furniture.
- Invest in what lasts: If you're going to buy something large, make sure it's made of a material that ages well.
- Test before you buy or paint. A deep color or an eclectic mix looks very different in your home than it does in a magazine.
