Zillow's 2026 home trends report reads like a collective exhale after this year. The predictions center on creating homes that feel safe, resilient, cozy and sustainable — exactly the opposite of the chaos that has dominated so much of the news cycle and the outside world of late. Color-drenched walls, whimsical touches and spaces designed for actual human comfort are replacing the all-white, Instagram-ready aesthetic that made homes look beautiful but feel uninviting. The trends reflect what people actually want from their homes: places that support wellbeing, provide refuge from external stress and accommodate real life rather than performing for social media.

Reading nooks are a huge trend in the coming year, with dedicated cozy corners featuring oversized chairs, good lighting and storage for books and décor. And the wellness trend goes beyond yoga mats gathering dust in closets to include infrared saunas, red light therapy devices and massage chairs that turn homes into personal recovery centers.
