7 Interior Design Trends for 2027
What will define interior design trends in 2027? Upcoming trends increasingly focus on warm, personal and thoughtfully designed spaces. Lighting is becoming part of the furniture, natural materials are taking centre stage and rich colours are adding character to rooms.
Rather than simply following a trend, the goal is to explore how some of these ideas can become lasting features of a design project.
Here are 7 interior design trends to watch in 2027.
2027 interior design trend no. 1: Table lamps integrated into furniture
Lighting is increasingly becoming an integral part of furniture. Built-in table lamps add a light source without cluttering surfaces with extra accessories. This type of integration can be used in a bookcase, shelving unit, nightstand, console or custom-built piece.
This approach brings lighting and furniture together from the design stage, rather than adding a light fixture once the piece is finished. The light can be positioned precisely for the way the furniture will be used, or to highlight a decorative object, niche or material. In a custom project, this approach also offers more ways to conceal wiring and maintain a clean, uncluttered appearance.
2027 interior design trend no. 2: Natural-looking stone with bold veining
Natural-looking stone continues to play an important role in interiors. Marble, quartzite, travertine and other stones are used for countertops, backsplashes, vanities, walls, tables and selected custom furniture elements.
Particular attention is being paid to stones with bold veining, colour variations and visible natural characteristics. Rather than seeking a perfectly uniform surface, designers are letting the material express its own character. Stone can become a true architectural feature in a room. In a kitchen, for example, it can extend from the countertop onto the backsplash. In a bathroom, it can also be used for a vanity or shower wall.
2027 interior design trend no. 3: Truffle-coloured tinted glass
Tinted glass offers a subtle way to bring colour into lighting. Brown and amber tones, in particular, fit naturally with the growing interest in warmer materials.
Luminaire Authentik’s frosted truffle-coloured glass globe is an interesting example of this approach. Used as a pendant, wall sconce or decorative light fixture, tinted glass adds visual presence while allowing light to shape the room’s atmosphere. The frosted finish also diffuses light more softly. This trend reminds us that a light fixture need not be chosen solely for its function. Its colour, shape, glass and finish can all contribute to the room’s overall design.
2027 interior design trend no. 4: Large custom artworks
Rather than filling a wall with small frames and objects, large artworks create a stronger focal point. A custom painting can be designed around the wall’s dimensions, the room’s colours and the materials used in the space. It becomes an integral part of the design rather than something added at the very end.
Works by Noir sur Blanc, for example, make it possible to incorporate art tailored to the project and give it a more prominent place in the design. This is also an appealing way to bring local creativity into a residential project. A work by a Québec artist can add a more personal dimension to an interior and create a connection with its owner.

2027 interior design trend no. 5: Bambi textures
One pattern is on our radar for 2027: fawn print, also known as ‘Bambi’! With its small light spots on a beige or brown background, it brings a playful, warm touch to a room. On a faux-fur cushion or throw, it also adds a soft texture that invites you to settle in and get comfortable.
At Atelier C3 Design, we like to introduce it in small touches, giving the rest of the space room to breathe. Picture a cream sofa, a few solid-colour cushions, a fawn-print accent and a natural wood table: the contrast adds personality while keeping the atmosphere harmonious. It can also work in a more luxurious setting, paired with natural stone, beautiful textiles and warm lighting.
Our advice: start with a cushion or throw, then echo its shades elsewhere in the room. There is no need to layer multiple animal prints to achieve the effect! Accessories let you try a bolder touch without changing your entire décor, and adapt it as your tastes evolve.
2027 interior design trend no. 6: Motorized window treatments
Custom motorized window treatments are playing an increasingly appealing role in residential projects. They combine comfort, light control and seamless integration with the room’s design.
Motorized shades are available with different power options, including wired, solar or battery power, depending on the product and window configuration. Motorized Roman shades are another appealing option when you want a more decorative window treatment. Their fabric adds visual presence and texture while providing control over light and privacy.
For curtains, a floor-to-ceiling installation emphasizes the room’s height and creates a more consistent finish across the windows. A track with Ripplefold curtains can also provide a discreet solution that blends into the décor. The choice between roller shades, Roman shades and curtains depends on the desired look, the level of light control and the window configuration. Several types of window treatments can also be combined in the same room.
Suppliers specializing in custom curtains and shades, such as Dastex, tailor solutions to the project’s dimensions and needs. Motorization is particularly useful for hard-to-reach windows or projects where several window treatments need to be controlled at once. It brings greater everyday comfort without compromising the design’s appearance.
2027 interior design trend no. 7: Deep colours such as Dark Auburn
Deep colours continue to gain ground in interiors, particularly reddish browns, burgundies and earthy shades.
Sherwin-Williams Dark Auburn SW 6034 fits this palette with its deep reddish-brown colour. Depending on the desired intensity, it can be used on an accent wall, woodwork, an entire room or selected elements of custom furniture.
As with many dark colours, the result depends on the room’s natural light, its orientation and the surrounding materials. It is best to test the colour in the space before applying it to a large surface.

Final thoughts
These seven interior design trends for 2027 reflect a desire for more personalized interiors, where materials, lighting and decorative elements are considered together. Integrating lighting into furniture, using natural-looking stone, showcasing large artworks and embracing deep colours are all ways to give spaces more character.
A trend does not have to be copied exactly to be inspiring. In interior design, what matters most is choosing elements that suit the home, its occupants’ lifestyle and the way the space will be used every day.
