Textured finishes & statement surfaces
Interior design trends in home décor for 2025 and 2026 are embracing texture as a key element for adding warmth, depth, and personality (CO-architecture, 2025). From coloured switch plates used as stylish accent pieces to the pairing of textured walls with neutral tones, designers are creating striking contrasts that allow finishes and hues to stand out. These subtle yet impactful details bring a sense of individuality to minimalist spaces, making them feel more inviting and expressive.
Metallic textures are also making a strong statement, with warm finishes like brushed brass and gold hardware adding elegance and richness to interiors. These materials pair beautifully with natural elements such as stone and timber, enhancing the overall warmth of a space. Meanwhile, cooler metallics like silver and platinum are gaining popularity for their sleek, contemporary appeal (The Blue Space, 2025). Together, these textured accents — whether bold or understated — are shaping interiors that feel both luxurious and lived-in.
If you’re looking for a texture to add to your interior, consider warm metallics. Warm metallics like gold and bronze have long elevated interiors with their timeless elegance, adding a touch of warmth and interest (The Blue Space, 2025). The Solis™ Collection offers a Brushed Brass finish that adds a touch of sophistication to natural materials like stone and timber.
Alternatively, you could create a bold, angular feel by using cool metallic finishes like stainless steel or silver (Vogue Australia, 2025). Match them with other metal accents in the room for a cohesive look, such as tapware, light fixtures, or door handles. Solis also offers cool metallic finishes with Platinum Aluminium and Ebony Aluminium.
Sleek minimalism with soul
Clean lines, neutral colour palettes, and functional layouts have become popular, creating spaces that feel calm, welcoming, and beautifully balanced between luxury and everyday practicality. Today’s interior designers are embracing intentional simplicity, choosing quality over quantity when selecting interior decor. Stick to a refined and limited palette of materials and colours to keep interiors cohesive (CO-architecture, 2025).
Switches and power points are as much of a ‘decor’ component as your pots and pillow throws. Make sure to talk to your electrician, designer, and builder about switches and power outlets so you can pick one that matches your interior and colour palette.
With the rising popularity of minimalist styles, you could go for low-profile, flat-faced switches that blend seamlessly with interiors. Our Iconic switches and covers blend effortlessly with surfaces, making your space look modern and clean.
The Iconic Collection of switches and power points is available in Iconic, Iconic Essence, Iconic Styl or Iconic Outdoor. No matter what your colour palette is, Iconic has something for you.
Smart and intuitive home automation
Smart home automation is becoming a seamless part of interior design in 2025 and 2026, with technology integrated into the aesthetics of modern living. Features like lighting, climate control, and security are enhancing both efficiency and convenience, making homes adapt to modern living (Glenvill Homes, 2025). Designers are prioritising clean lines and understated tech that blends effortlessly into spaces (Homes & Gardens, 2025), creating environments that are both functional and beautifully refined.
From blinds that open to greet the sun, aircon that comes on before the day’s heat, and lights that dim as you drift off, a Wiser Smart Home adjusts to your lifestyle.
Wiser is a scalable, automated smart home solution that lets you control almost everything in your home with a single app. It’s easy to install and set up, and can grow as your needs change.
Wiser Smart Home products are also compatible with Clipsal’s existing wiring device ranges, including Iconic and Solis, making design and function upgrades simple and seamless. It’s also easy to upgrade and bring together other Clipsal Bluetooth products into your Wiser smart home system.
