The Pinterest platform has revealed its 2026 home trends - and they are many things, but not boring. From "Fun Haus" to "Neo Deco" and "Afrohemian Decor": These looks will bring a breath of fresh air into your home.
«Fun Haus» is striped, colourful and playful. «Neo Deco» is straightforward, geometric and glamorous. The most popular interior design trends for 2026, based on Pinterest searches, focus on variety and personality.
Fun house: circus, but tasteful
With «Fun Haus», the show moves into your home. Block stripes, playful shapes and bright colours make up the look. The secret? The balance between loud and relaxed. The most searched terms in this section: «striped ceiling» (+40%), «circus nursery» (+50%) and «circus decoration» (+130%).

Art is key: «Vintage circus aesthetics» (+70%) and «circus art» (+35%) bring the playful vibe into play. Cleverly used, the style is not only suitable for children's rooms.
How to bring the look into your home:
- Stripes everywhere - on wallpaper, textiles or even on the ceiling.
- Decoration that pops: colours, patterns, silhouettes
- Artwork with circus flair for the final, playful touch.
Neo Deco: retro, but not like the old days
Art deco is back, but with an update. «Neo Deco» mixes clean lines, geometric patterns and shimmering materials such as brass and chrome. Most searched for: «Hanging lamp» (+40%), «red marble bathroom» (+80%) and «antique bar cart» (+100%).
