Frequently Asked Questions
Is minimalism completely over in 2026?
Minimalism as a philosophy of “less is more” will always have a place, but the aesthetic of stark, empty, all-white spaces is certainly on the wane. The new ethos is more “expressive essentialism.” It’s about having fewer things, but ensuring that each one is either technologically innovative, deeply personal, or sensorially rich. The focus is shifting from a lack of objects to a richness of the objects that remain.
How can I incorporate these high-tech trends on a budget?
You don’t need a 3D printer in your living room to participate. Start small. For “Neocraft,” look for emerging artists on platforms like Etsy who are creating smaller 3D-printed decor items like vases or sculptures. For “Chromatic Dissonance,” experiment with paint on a small accent wall or use throw pillows and blankets in bold, unexpected color pairings. For “Sensory Architecture,” focus on affordable, texture-rich textiles like chunky knit throws or linen curtains. The spirit of the trend is more important than the price tag.
Will this “Digital Artisan” style last, or is it just a fleeting trend?
We believe this is more of a long-term shift than a fleeting trend. The fusion of technology and craftsmanship is not a stylistic whim; it’s the natural evolution of design in the 21st century. The core drivers—the desire for personalization, sustainability, and unique storytelling—are here to stay. While the specific forms and applications will evolve, the fundamental principle of using technology to create more beautiful, soulful, and human-centric homes will define the next decade of interior design.
