OUR HOME’s TOP 2026 DESIGN TRENDS TO REFRESH YOUR SPACE

OUR HOME paves the way for an exciting 2026 in furniture, furnishings, and accessories as it unveils its top design trends for the year ahead. Designed to inspire fresh perspectives on modern living, these trends reflect how homes are evolving into more personal, restorative, and expressive spaces.

TREND: THE GREAT WHITE WAY

The palette is clean and crisp for 2026 as white and other neutrals create a splash in color trends. Everything comes out bright and airy in the year 2026.  This is accounting for Cloud also being declared the color of the year and there is a reason for that. For 2026, walls, floors and ceilings are given a bare treatment to allow surfaces to breathe and just take in the calm and the cool of white.

Why it works:

White and neutral palettes instantly create a sense of openness, calm, and visual clarity. They reflect light beautifully, making spaces feel larger and more breathable while offering a timeless backdrop that works across different home sizes and lifestyles.

Try this at home:

Use white or off-white as a base for walls or large furniture pieces, then layer in warmth through textured upholstery, cushions, or rugs. Keep accessories minimal and tone-on-tone to maintain a clean, serene look.

TREND: BACK TO NATURE

This year will see a resurgence in anything and everything organic and sustainable. Furniture pieces will stand out as being fashioned by nature itself as wood and other natural materials as a driving force in design. The raw appeal of natural wood and the sustainable power of woven textures will see furniture and accessories embracing this trend. Shapes and forms will be seamless, curved and rectilinear flowing smoothly and organically creating spaces that are calm and soothing, restful and relaxed.

Why it works:

Natural materials bring warmth, texture, and authenticity into the home while promoting a more mindful, grounded way of living. This trend responds to the growing desire for spaces that feel restorative and connected to nature.

Try this at home:

Introduce wood and other natural as statement pieces, such as accent chairs, side tables, or shelving. Complement them with neutral fabrics and soft lighting to enhance the calming, organic feel.

TREND: FAT IS IN

Furniture proportions are going to be excessive, overstuffed and oversized. This is to emphasize comfort above all that is aligned with providing atmospheres that eliminate stress and chaos. It gives the feeling of being cuddled, being hugged and just falling carelessly in the arms of an ultra-comfortable sofa or bed. Accentuating the need for rest, these fat pieces of furniture become a sanctuary for the body and a stimulus for the senses – tactile, textured and luxurious.

Why it works:

Oversized, plush furniture answers the modern need for comfort, rest, and emotional well-being. These pieces create inviting spaces that encourage slowing down, relaxation, and everyday indulgence.

Try this at home:

Choose a deep, cushioned sofa, a generously padded bedframe, or a plush recliner. Balance the volume with neutral colors and clean surroundings so the space feels cozy, not crowded.

TREND: COORDINATING AND COMBINING

Mixing and matching pieces around the house becomes an exercise in eclecticism in 2026. A dining table can see a mélange of six different dining chairs thrown into the mix and living rooms can elicit prints and patterns thrown together and different pieces of furniture combined to create an Avante-garde yet coordinated approach. This exhibits an air of creativity, a splash of whimsy yet a well-curated mix.

Why it works:

This trend allows personal expression and creativity to take center stage, resulting in interiors that feel collected rather than overly styled. When thoughtfully curated, mixed elements feel intentional, dynamic, and visually engaging.

Try this at home:

Mix dining chairs in similar tones but varied shapes or combine patterned cushions with plain upholstery. Anchor the look with a shared color palette to keep the mix cohesive.

TREND: EARTHY and ELEGANT

Textures are raw, yet they feel resplendent. For this new year, terracotta, earthenware and clay are the big names in accessories and accoutrements. This mix provides an ode to the organic and sustainable, but the approach is different – creating a textural paradox that stems from something earthy yet presented in an elegant finish. This mix is something that allows the home the natural ambiance of earth but with a posh and sophisticated appeal to it.

Why it works:

Earth-based materials add depth and warmth while refined finishes elevate the overall look. This balance creates spaces that feel grounded yet sophisticated, organic yet polished.

Try this at home:

Style shelves, tables, or consoles with ceramic vases, clay décor, or textured planters. Pair these accessories with clean-lined furniture and neutral tones to let the materials stand out.

This 2026, watch out for all these top design trends unfolding in all OUR HOME branches nationwide. The beauty of these trends is that they can be embraced individually or layered together for a more impactful and resonant look.

Camella Celebrates Heart, Home, and Homeownership at the Christmas Homecoming Fair

The glow of parols will illuminate the islands as Camella hosts its Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 15 and 20, and Homecoming Fair, a celebration of the lifelong dream of homeownership, beginning November 16 to 23. The weeklong event invites families across the nation—and even those from overseas—to rediscover the joy of coming home to Camella communities.

The Homecoming fair serves both a continuation and a crescendo: following the success of Lifescapes Expo2025, where innovation, connection, and opportunity took center stage, it transforms these ideals into tangible experiences within thriving neighborhoods nationwide. Each Camella community opens its doors to prospective homebuyers, investors, and returning overseas workers, offering an opportunity to experience the living spaces where lifelong dreams and legacies are built. The fair also marks the second phase of Camella Christmas celebrations, extending the warmth of the season and welcoming Filipinos to where they belong: home.

Honoring the Filipino homecoming tradition

To make the occasion more meaningful, homebuyers will receive kitchen appliances depending on their reservation contract price to bring the spirit of the season into their new homes. These tokens represent the comfort, convenience, and care that Camella extends to Filipino households—a gesture to make living spaces glow with family gatherings and festive meals.

Recognizing the emotional connections of Overseas Filipinos to their homeland, Camella honors those who continue to invest in their roots. Homebuyers with verified information, such as a passport, seaman’s book, or an ongoing employment contract, will receive a gift certificate for an overnight stay for two (2) at the Brittany Hotel Global South, perfect for a restful return or a cheerful celebration.

The Homecoming Fair is a nationwide affirmation of what Camella has stood for nearly five decades: a home built on heart, anchored in family values, and sustained by the spirit of community. 

Home for the holidays

Camella continues its Christmas tradition of welcoming families home through its annual Home for the Holidays campaign. This year shines the spotlight on homes for every hope and household, offering special savings for spot and flexible payment options and seasonal surprises that make homeownership within reach this holiday season.

Anko Celebrates One Year of Home, Joy, and Brighter Living in the Philippines

7 November 2025, Manila, Philippines —  A year ago, Australia's beloved home and lifestyle brand, Anko, opened its first door in the Philippines, promising to blend Australian creativity with Filipino warmth. Fast forward to today, and the brand is not just a newcomer but a vibrant part of countless Filipino homes, recently celebrating its first anniversary with a weekend of festivities that underscored its growing connection with the community.

The celebration kicked off on November 7, 2025, at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, transforming the space into a hub of birthday and holiday cheer. Shoppers who signed up for the Anko Club were treated to a fun-filled day of immersive experiences, including festive photo spots, interactive gifting zones, and a special bonding moment with brand ambassador and actress Anne Curtis.

The festivities continued throughout the weekend with engaging creative workshops across Anko stores in Ayala Malls TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay. These sessions—featuring gift wrapping, calligraphy, and more—inspired shoppers to craft personal and meaningful holiday gifts, aligning with Anko's spirit of thoughtfulness and its appreciation for the warm support from the Filipino community over the year.

A Brighter First Year

Since its arrival, Anko has stayed true to its promise to make everyday living brighter with well-designed, affordable products across key categories such as home, kitchen, toys, beauty, and pet essentials. To keep the shopping experience fresh and inspiring, the brand ensures new items arrive every week, allowing shoppers to constantly discover the trendiest finds with irresistible prices. This year also saw an exciting expansion into the small appliances category, offering even more ways for Filipinos to elevate their daily routines.

The response has fueled rapid expansion, growing from one to four thriving stores in Ayala Malls Glorietta, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay, with a fifth branch soon to open at Ayala Malls Feliz.

“It’s been such an exciting and fulfilling first year. We launched Anko with the goal of offering quality, design, and affordability all in one place, and the response from Filipino shoppers has been incredible, which inspired us to move forward,” shares Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko Philippines.

Throughout the year, Anko focused on building a deep connection with its growing community, celebrating love, family, and togetherness through thoughtfully curated campaigns and in-store experiences. From intimate events to creative workshops, the brand ensures every moment resonates with the goal of creating bright, thoughtful, and functional spaces that bring people together.

To offer constant inspiration, Anko unveils its Christmas lookbook (www.anko.com/ph/lookbook/), providing Filipinos with beautifully styled visual guides for incorporating the brand’s affordable, on-trend pieces into their homes and fresh gifting ideas to loved ones this holiday season.

Beyond its physical stores, Anko nurtures a vibrant digital community. The Anko Club has rapidly grown to over 34,000 members, where they enjoy exclusive perks, early access to collections, and everyday design inspiration through the dedicated app.

Anko also continues to champion creativity and authenticity through its Ko-Creator Program, partnering with local content creators who share the brand’s passion for design and storytelling. This program also serves as a platform for creators to showcase their talent, grow their craft, and build their own success stories.

An Even Brighter Future

As Anko enters its second year, the brand remains steadfast in its mission to make everyday living brighter for Filipino families. The warm reception and positive feedback from customers over the past year have shaped the brand’s journey, fueling its growth from one store to a growing community of Filipinos who share a love for home, style, and everyday living.

“For us, growth is about more than opening new stores — it’s about enriching the experience,” Turner shares. “We want every Anko store to feel like a place where Filipinos can find inspiration, comfort, and joy,” she added.

With more store openings, creative collaborations, and family-centered campaigns ahead, Anko is committed to continuing its journey of bringing Australian design and Filipino heart together.
