Nauradika, a London-based lighting and décor brand, has released its 2026 interior design trends report, highlighting the growing influence of warmth, biophilic lighting, tactile materials, and sustainable design principles in the hospitality sector. The report predicts a shift towards “tactile minimalism,” a design approach that balances clean lines with layered textures, and a move away from cold minimalism.
Key trends expected to shape hotels and restaurants in 2026 include:
– Biophilic lighting that mimics natural light cycles
– Warm color palettes featuring amber, clay, and sand hues
– Storytelling through design, prioritizing materials and craftsmanship that reflect locality and cultural identity
– Sustainable interior design with a focus on durability and long-term value
“Tactile minimalism is the future of hospitality design,” says Nauradika. “Designers are prioritizing interiors that feel grounded and sensory, using texture and light to create depth and atmosphere.”
