6 Oscars 2026 red carpet trends to inspire your interiors
After weeks of glitz, glamour and guest drama, award season has finally reached its grand finale at the most glamorous event on the A-list calendar: the Oscars.
But Hollywood’s biggest night isn’t just a showcase for big screen talent, it’s also a masterclass in style. And while the spotlight is firmly on the red carpet, the looks on display often ripple far beyond the world of fashion.
Last night’s ceremony certainly didn’t disappoint on the fashion front, delivering a host of standout moments, from dramatic florals and feathered embellishments to soft pastels and striking colour pairings.
But many of these head-turning looks also reflect some of the interiors trends emerging this year, proving once again that what we wear and how we style our homes are often interlinked.
From Jessie Buckley’s bold red and pink palette to the moody florals seen on Anne Hathaway and Rose Byrne, several of the night’s most talked-about looks echoed the colours, textures and decorative details already appearing in 2026 interiors.
Fashion and interiors go hand in hand
“Fashion and interiors have always borrowed from one another, but this year’s Oscars really underlined how closely the two worlds are aligned for 2026,” explains Julian Page, head of design at BHS.
“Those standout red carpet looks are all echoing through our homes in the form of confident colour, statement lighting, and beautifully textured finishes. It’s about capturing that sense of occasion and translating it into everyday spaces that still feel liveable and inviting.”
Whether you want to replicate Kate Hudson and co’s structural shaping or Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman’s feather-y finishes, these Oscar-worthy looks show that a little Tinsel Town glamour can translate beautifully from the red carpet to the rooms in our home.
Red and pink
Best actress Jessie Buckley lit up the red carpet in a striking custom gown by Chanel, pairing soft pink chiffon with a bold red satin sash, a combination that stood out against the usual sea of black and metallics.
Pink and red is a colour clash that’s also having a moment in interiors right now. While the combination may once have felt daring, the pairing can add an injection of joy into home decor.
“Red and pink is a confident colour pairing that is rising in popularity due to the instant energy the colours provide,” explains Lee Trethewey, interiors expert at Sustainable Furniture.
If you are not ready to commit fully to the colour pair, Lee recommends introducing the colour palette through accent pieces such as cushions, throws, curtains, and even lampshades. “Anchor them between a more subtle neutral bases, such as warmer beiges,” he adds.
Chloe Dacosta, design manager at Blinds2go and Curtains2go, says Buckley’s striking pink and red dress perfectly showcases the power of colour blocking – a trend that works just as well in interiors as it does on the red carpet.
“In the home, this approach can instantly energise a space,” she continues. “Think a bold sofa paired with contrasting cushions, painted feature walls in complementary shades, or colourful rugs layered against statement furniture.
“Even smaller touches like lampshades, artwork, or decorative accessories can bring the look together, allowing you to introduce confident bursts of colour while keeping the overall scheme balanced and stylish.”
Moody florals
Florals took a darker, more dramatic turn on the Oscars red carpet with near identical romantic botanical looks worn by Anne Hathaway (in Valentino) and Rose Byrne (in Dior).
A similar approach is appearing in interiors, where designers are swapping ditsy prints for deeper, moodier patterns. Try oversized floral wallpapers on navy or midnight backdrops, or introduce the look through upholstery and cushions to add drama without overwhelming a space.
“Moody florals are all about embracing deeper tones and using rich botanical patterns to create a space that feels sophisticated and cosmopolitan, yet still homely and inviting,” explains Chloe.
“To bring this look into your own interiors, pair dark walls with detailed floral print curtains and soft furnishings to add depth and atmosphere.
“If that feels too bold a step to make, to make the look feel cohesive rather than overwhelming, try matching or coordinating patterns across different elements of the room.”
Lee says dark and dramatic florals are a great way to add depth and colour to your home. “Opting for printed wallpaper, upholstery, or curtains with bold botanical prints can add an elegant touch to your space without making the room overwhelming. Pairing the blooms with a deep background of navy or forest green, along with warm wood and brass accents, can give a grown-up, more luxurious appeal.”
Feather embellishment
Texture ruled the red carpet thanks to feather-trimmed gowns from Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore, bringing a sense of theatrical glamour to the evening.
At home, feather embellishment can translate into decor detailing for example on bold feathered pendant lighting, fringed lampshades or soft, plume-like trims on cushions that add a touch of playful luxe.
“Although full-on feathered interiors may not be to everyone’s taste, feather-inspired textures can tap into the desire to add a softer touch to a home,” explains Lee.
The key, he says, is knowing when to pull back. “I recommend looking for lighting or cushions with fringed or fluffy finishes to layer textures and add a sense of glamour,” he says.
Pastels
Soft, chalky pastels also had a major red carpet moment, with delicate soft lemon tones worn by Felicity Jones and pale lilac by rising star Chase Infiniti both making best dressed columns.
In interiors today’s pastels feel more grown-up than the sugary shades of the past. Think dusty pinks, pale pistachio and powdery blues layered with natural textures like wood and linen to add warmth to cooler tones.
“Shades of lemon, peach and mint can feel very calming when used in decorating schemes,” explains Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at Sofology. She recommends invigorating a harmonious pastel palette by adding retro-inspired patterned textiles.
For another subtle way to introduce a pastel, such as lilac, Al Bruce, Founder of Olive & Barr suggests introducing the hue to your kitchen cabinetry. “Combine with ivory either on the walls or the island for a scheme that adds personality while feeling timeless,” he says. “Finish the look with glass statement lighting and upholstered bar stools in a complementary fabric.”
Structural silhouettes
Architectural silhouettes were another standout style look, most notably on Kate Hudson, whose sculptural, sparkly Armani Privé gown paired tailoring and structure for added drama.
In interiors, the same principle translates to clean lines and bold shapes. Think curved sofas, statement armchairs and sculptural lighting that act almost like pieces of art within a room.
“The sculptural silhouettes seen on last night’s Oscars red carpet are already being reflected in the curved forms and soft shapes emerging as key interior trends for 2026,” Tom Raffield, founder of Tom Raffield.
Tom says sculptural silhouettes add a sense of movement, softness and timelessness to home decor. “They create a visual flow that makes spaces feel more open and inviting,” he adds. “In living rooms, soft lines can make a space feel more relaxed, while in a bedroom they can add a cocooning feeling.”
Monochrome
Timeless black and white also made a welcome return to the Oscars red carpet, with Alicia Silverstone and Misty Copeland both embracing elegant monochrome looks.
In interiors, experts predict monochrome schemes will enjoy a resurgence in 2026, but there are some tricks to getting the classic palette right in your decor.
“If you think white feels too stark, picking a cosy neutral like cream or off-white can instantly make your space feel cosier,” explains Amthal Karim, head of design at Furniture And Choice.
“As we are doing away with multiple colours, texture and layers are key players here. Mix it up with contrasting materials such as gold hardware, or a marble table for an opulent touch and soften a white backdrop with tactile materials such as velvet, wool or bouclé.”
While introducing black into an interior can feel intimidating, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming – subtle touches can be just as effective. “Black elements stand out beautifully against white walls, so consider incorporating features such as black picture frames or wall lights to create refined points of contrast,” adds Mara Rypacek Miller, founder of Industville.
“Pewter finishes also provide a softer introduction to this style, while black flex cables in lighting can add a modern edge by subtly contrasting with white ceilings and walls.”
