I have spent three months working full-time on ATHOME.AWX2627. The last six weeks, even seven days a week. Creating these style guides and trend books is always a huge task.

Next stop: Ambiente and Christmasworld ✨ in Frankfurt, from February 7th to 11th! I’m looking forward to see how my clients have translated the TH trends for autumn/winter/Christmas 2025/2026. This year, I’m traveling solo, which means I also have time to make new connections and exchange ideas. Will you be there too? Let’s meet up for a coffee ☕️ and a chat... send me a message to set up an appointment. 🤗

It’s cold outside. As I work on my TH interior style book for autumn, winter, and Christmas 2026/2027, I’m wearing goat wool socks to keep my feet warm. On my right hand, I’m wearing a fingerless glove —not like Madonna wore as a fashion statement in the eighties, but because my desk feels so cold while I move my Wacom pen across my tablet. These days, the thermostat is set 1.5 degrees lower than it was a few years ago—a conscious choice in these times.

With four unique themes – SAVIA, UBUNTU, AVANT, and MA – you’ll explore the lifeblood of nature, human connection, creative innovation, and the space between. Each chapter offers a wealth of inspiration for design, colour schemes, and (sustainable) materials to shape your new collection.

In creating this digital leaf art, I’ve fully immersed myself in the atmosphere of autumn, winter, and Christmas—perfectly aligned with my current project: TH Autumn | Winter | Christmas Style Guide for 2026/2027. For this new style guide, I’m drawing inspiration from the natural colours and textures of the season.

In my TH 2026 interior trend book, we see the farmer in a fresh, transformative role—not just as an agricultural producer but as a true pioneer. Within the theme Savia Pasture, the farmer becomes both a provider and a source of sustainable, natural materials. By merging regenerative farming techniques with artisanal craftsmanship, this trend lays the groundwork for a new kind of collaboration: farmers and designers building a future where aesthetics matter, but the deep-rooted connection to nature takes center stage.

The rise of AI platforms like Midjourney, DALL-E, Ideogram, and Flux has rapidly and profoundly transformed the design world. For many, this development brings a mix of excitement and concern. There is uncertainty about whether AI will replace jobs and expertise. However, now more than ever, the role of the designer is crucial. It is up to designers to ensure we don't end up in a world of uniformity and meaningless designs. This is the time to demonstrate what we, as designers, are capable of and why this role is indispensable.

Biophilic en biobased – in mijn 'bubbel' zijn dit termen die momenteel veel voorbij komen; op social media en mijn mailbox stroomt vol met persberichten hierover. Maar wat betekenen ze nu precies?

This question occupies us more than ever as technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) become increasingly intertwined with our daily lives. In a world where physical and virtual realities overlap, it can sometimes be hard to distinguish what is truly real. AI plays an ever-growing role in our lives by not only taking over tasks but also contributing creatively, such as generating images and videos, further blurring our perception of what is ‘real.’

In the world of interior design, and at the trade fairs of the moment, we are witnessing an explosion of vibrant, contrasting colours that clash with one another. These colourful outbursts seem, in a way, to reflect today’s society. Everyone seems eager to make their voice heard, some even louder than others. In my trend book TH SpringSummer 2026, you can see this sense of individuality, of making yourself visibly present, translated into a theme that combines powerful, passionate, and even sensual colours and shapes.

After weeks of intensive preparation, the time is almost here: the TH home trend book for Spring/Summer 2026 will soon be on the shelves. But before putting the finishing touches on it, a short break was needed.
