The New Blum Trend Report 2026 - Salone del Mobile and EuroCucina

Functionality continues to shape modern interiors. Salone del Mobile demonstrated how multifunctionality is becoming a design discipline, with wall units and modular furniture offering flexible designs and high functionality without compromising aesthetics. Concealed doors and hidden storage solutions are also redefining space-maximising interior design. Lighting and electrification are becoming increasingly important within furniture and interior planning. Designers are recognising the ability of layered lighting — including indirect, accent, zone and interactive lighting — to transform the feel of a space by creating depth and balance. Power-integrated furniture also remains a significant trend for 2026.

The report further notes that interior pieces are increasingly becoming a reflection of personal identity. From remarkable seating and elaborate sculptures to hand-crafted furniture that combines traditional and modern influences, these elements are emerging as true centrepieces within contemporary living spaces.

As Philipp Blum, Managing Director of the Blum Group, puts it, “The buzz was incredible. With so many styles and visitors from around the world, you couldn't help but be inspired. Our hard work over the years is paying off and we are a highly respected name on the market. With Blum products in nearly every display kitchen in Milan, it's clear that pioneering designs are made possible by our fittings solutions. This is a source of great pride for us, and is the foundation for the excellent relationships we enjoy with our customers.”
