Interiors Are Fun Again: Inside 2026’s Biggest Interiors Trend, According To Pinterest

Step right up!

Forecast to be one of 2026’s biggest interior design trends, FunHaus is the circus-inspired style that brings a playful rebellion to the minimalist world we’ve been living in. Think bold stripes, sculptural shapes, and a wink of whimsy — because let’s be honest, the beige epidemic has well and truly had it’s time in the spotlight. FunHaus is here to inject joy, personality, and a little bit of chaos into our homes.

What is FunHaus?

According to Pinterest Predicts 2026, FunHaus is “circus-inspired chic” with sculptural silhouettes, bold stripes, and just the right touch of playful mischief. With mood-lifting interiors trending in a world that sometimes feels a little bleak, it’s no surprise we’re craving spaces that make us smile. Dopamine decor sound familiar? Searches for “stripy ceilings” and “circus interiors” are on the rise, alongside trends like maximalism, colour-drenching, and characterful antiques — and we’re here for all of it.

How we’re styling this trend

We’re all about embracing the fun in function. Sculptural kitchenware, ergonomic furniture in unexpected textures and shapes, and bold stripes are making their way into our carts. The key to mastering FunHaus? Balance. Pair loud patterns with soft pastels, bold shapes with thoughtful placement, and whimsy with intention, creating spaces that feel elevated while still undeniably playful.

It doesn’t have to be a full rebrand for your home, either. There are simple, cost-effective ways to introduce FunHaus into any room. In the bedroom, introduce ruched or striped bedding, or mix colours for a playful, cosy feel. In the bathroom, let towels take centre stage, or add a colourful jewellery dish for a subtle pop. And in the living room, if your space allows, a striped lamp, bright vases, or a few bold throw cushions are all you need to bring the trend to life.
