Pantone’s Color of the Year is usually interesting… but rarely practical. This year is different. In this episode of fig & farm (at home), we’re talking about Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year: Cloud Dancer—a softly warm white that finally makes sense in real homes, real budgets, and real life. Cloud Dancer isn’t about trends for the sake of trends. It’s about balance, contrast, and longevity—and it works beautifully whether your home leans neutral, bold, traditional, or eclectic. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: Why Cloud Dancer is more usable than past Color of the Year picks How this slightly warm white creates contrast against bold patterns and statement pieces Why it’s the perfect companion to warm earthen tones, natural woods, and organic textures How it helps honor heirloom pieces instead of competing with them Why designers are leaning into sustainable luxury—and how Cloud Dancer supports that shift How to use it to brighten dark corners without feeling stark or cold Ways to apply this color in both big and small ways—from walls and trim to textiles and accents We’ll also talk about how Cloud Dancer fits into a cohesive color formula, helping you neutralize busy prints, ground dramatic furniture (yes, even bold couches), and create flow from room to room without starting over. If you’ve ever ignored Pantone’s Color of the Year because it felt unrealistic, trendy, or too risky—this episode may change your mind.   // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: [email protected] Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group  

The new year always brings a wave of home decor trends — but 2026 is shaping up to be less about what’s “in” and more about how our homes feel. In this episode, I’m breaking down the top 10 home decor and interior design trends for 2026 that designers across the industry are consistently predicting. These aren’t fads — they’re thoughtful shifts toward comfort, intention, sustainability, and homes that support real life. If you’re decorating, redecorating, or simply craving a home that feels more cohesive and cozy, this episode will help you understand what’s coming next — and how to use trends without letting them overwhelm you. In this episode, we cover: Using texture as a foundational design element Why layered textures — from textiles to finishes — are becoming essential in 2026 interior design and how they instantly make a home feel warmer and more lived-in. Honoring heritage and personal history in home decor The return of meaningful pieces, vintage finds, heirlooms, and decor that tells a story instead of following fast trends. Biophilic design and bringing nature indoors How plants, natural light, organic materials, and nature-inspired design are shaping healthier, calmer homes. Layering as a core decorating principle From rugs to lighting to accessories, designers are emphasizing depth, dimension, and thoughtful layering over minimalism. Color drenching and monochromatic color stories Why single-color rooms and tonal palettes are trending in 2026 — and how they create cohesion without feeling boring. Warm, earthy color palettes replacing cool neutrals Think clay, camel, olive, brown, mushroom, and soft terracotta — colors that ground a space and make it feel welcoming. The renewed focus on form and function Furniture and decor that look beautiful but also work hard for everyday living are a major priority in 2026 home design. Sustainable luxury and conscious decorating choices Fewer pieces, better quality, eco-conscious materials, and thoughtful purchasing decisions that balance beauty and responsibility. The return of cozy textures like faux fur Designers are embracing warmth and softness through faux fur accents, plush textiles, and tactile comfort. An emphasis on irregularity, imperfection, and organic shapes Why homes are moving away from symmetry and perfection — and embracing character, patina, and uniqueness. 🌟 Room Reset Workshop 🌟 Three live sessions | January 14, 21 & 28 Two time options: 9am PST or 5pm PST (replays included) In just three days, you’ll reset one room in your home—going from uncertainty and overwhelm to clarity and confidence.

We set goals for our health, our finances, and our personal growth—but rarely do we pause to set intentional goals for our home. In this episode, I invite you to slow down and reflect on how your home has truly served you over the past year. Did it support your life and rhythms… or did you find yourself constantly serving it? We’ll talk about how to create home goals that go beyond surface-level decorating and instead focus on how you want your home to feel. You’ll learn the difference between physical, tangible home goals (like decluttering, redecorating, or organizing a space) and social or emotional home goals—such as creating a home that feels calmer, more welcoming, or easier to live in day-to-day. One of the most important parts of this conversation is learning to acknowledge the emotional weight we carry around our homes—and why honoring those feelings is just as important (if not more important) than tackling the physical projects first. We’ll walk through: How to reflect honestly on what worked—and what didn’t—in your home this past year Why emotional and lifestyle-based decorating goals matter How to identify realistic next steps for creating a more cohesive, cozy home When and why asking for help can move you forward faster This episode is part reflection, part reset, and part permission—to approach your home with curiosity instead of criticism. 👉 Grab a notebook and pen before you press play. You’ll want space to write, think, and imagine what’s possible for your home in the year ahead.   Are you ready to realize the goals you are setting?
