Sofa: Exbury, V&A Threads of India Opulent Velvets in Paisley Splendour Rouge, Sofas & Stuff
1. Heritage Maximalism
A “more is more” approach has been moving into our interiors for some time now, but there was a more focused take on the maximalism trend at this year’s show. Heritage maximalism sees the eclectic layering of patterns, colors and decorative details, with a nod to traditional country house style for a timeless, lived-in feel.
The look aligns with the move toward interiors with character and brings warmth and elegance to a potentially chaotic look. Traditional shapes and patterns give schemes a nostalgic feel that speaks to those who enjoy a curated display of favorite pieces and a sense of history.
London’s Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), for instance, has collaborated with several brands, granting them access to its extensive archive for inspiration. Sofas & Stuff has launched a series of couches in paisley velvets inspired by 19th century Kashmiri shawls in six colors, including Rouge (pictured).

2. There’s One Room You Really Want to Feel Pulled-Together
It could be the living room, kitchen or your master bedroom — whatever the space, if there’s one room you’d love to have feeling finished, an interior designer can help make that a reality. Instead of waffling over the hundreds of tiny details that go into decorating a space, an interior designer can guide you with confidence, editing your options so the entire process feels more streamlined. And (perhaps most important) when you opt to work with an interior designer, you’re committing to actually finishing the project once and for all.
The owners of the home shown here hired designer Ashleigh Weatherill to decorate their family room. Using several of the clients’ existing pieces and bringing in a few custom-made items, Weatherill was able to create a polished space that the homeowners will be reveling in on holidays and other special occasions.

5. Heritage Crafts
The theme of Maison & Objet 2026 was “Past Reveals Future,” an intriguing concept that relates to the way design pieces are made. Brands looked back to reveal traditional manufacturing techniques that can be used or interpreted for creations that suit today’s interiors.
While some preserve tradition, others combine high-tech production with artisanal skills. Whether it be in textiles, hand-painted wallpaper, pottery or objects made of wood or glass, the key is allowing the story of the process to be heard.
Ukrainian brand Guculiya, founded by designer, architect and researcher Danuta Kril, champions an almost-lost pottery technique, Gavarechchyna, named for the western Ukraine region where it originated and survives today, according to the company. The smoky black pottery is baked in a wood-burning oven, where smoke seeps into the clay to oxidize and darken it. Modern shapes and time-honored process combine in the collection.
