Interior design trends are shifting and 2026 is not about doing more. It is about doing what feels right.

In this episode of the House Therapy Podcast, I walk through the interior design trends shaping homes in 2026 and the trends quietly fading away. This is not about chasing what is popular online. It is about understanding what people are craving in their spaces right now and how to create homes that feel calm comfortable and personal.

I share ten up and coming design trends including rich earthy colour palettes, organic shapes, layered textures, heritage pieces, flexible spaces and warmer lighting. We also talk about trends on the way out like ultra minimal interiors, all white rooms, cookie cutter spaces and overdone finishes that no longer support how people actually live.

This episode is for homeowners, realtors and anyone who wants to update their space thoughtfully without regret. I also share practical ways to use trends without over renovating and how to balance what is current with what is timeless.

Selling a home later in life is emotional and deeply personal. For many seniors it is the first move they have made in decades and the process can feel overwhelming.

In this episode of the House Therapy Podcast I talk about how to help seniors sell their family home with care confidence and clarity. I share why staging plays an important role for this seller demographic and why staging for seniors looks very different than traditional staging.

You will learn:

• Why many seniors are choosing to downsize and when this usually happens

• How staging helps buyers see potential without erasing memories

• Why selling today is very different than it was decades ago

• When it is best to stage after a senior has moved out

• How to simplify staging when a senior is still living in the home

• Why decluttering and neutralizing matter more than renovations

• How to reposition furniture to improve flow and safety

• Why lighting and removing heavy drapery make such a big difference

• How small thoughtful changes can lead to better results and less stress

This episode is for seniors thinking about selling, adult children trying to support their parents and realtors working with aging clients. It offers gentle education practical guidance and reassurance that staging does not need to feel cold complicated or disruptive.
