by Retailers Arhaus, Crate & Barrel, Lulu & Georgia and Pottery Barn unveil new collections
Some of the furniture trends to watch in 2026, according to a recent article by writer Monique Valerie for Good Housekeeping, include a focus on craftsmanship, dark woods and sculptural silhouettes. As retailers, including Arhaus, Crate & Barrel, Lulu & Georgia and Pottery Barn, reveal their spring collections, new products fit neatly into these trends.
Craftsmanship is central to Arhaus’ spring 2026 introductions, which the company unveiled last week. This year, Arhaus is celebrating 40 years in business and is paying homage to its roots as a retailer with a continued focus on furnishings crafted by skilled artisans. Arhaus’ new Soumaya and Ramiro collections and Marea dining table are handmade in Mexico, while its Stefania collection of dining and storage pieces is made by artisans in Italy, featuring joinery, hand-applied finishes and hand-painted floral details.
Arhaus’ spring catalog is titled, “In a New Light,” which, according to a news release from the Boston Heights, Ohio-based company, is a “visual statement of the brand’s expansive range of styles and its assured use of pattern, color and material to create spaces with personality and depth.”
At the core of Arhaus’ spring 2026 introductions is its custom upholstery collection, which is handcrafted in North Carolina with materials sourced from around the world. This season, the brand introduces 80 new fabrics to its library, totaling more than 600 fabrics and 90 leathers.
“Our upholstery program is something I’m incredibly proud of — it reflects decades of relationships with the best artisan partners in the world and an uncompromising commitment to quality,” said Arhaus cofounder and CEO John Reed. “From the materials we source to the way each piece is built, this is upholstery at its finest — designed to last, made to be lived in and crafted with a level of care that truly sets Arhaus apart.”
In addition to new introductions, Arhaus has revisited its bestselling Kipton sofa, now available in its floral Sagamond Indigo pattern, composed of a muted palette of brown, beige, green and blue. Florals are also a main theme in Pottery Barn’s spring collection. Notably, the San Francisco-based company released more than 1,500 new products across four collections: Warm Neutrals (golden hues), Classic Blues (blue palettes and florals), Rustic Charm (bright colors with nature-inspired motifs) and Rosewood (muted blush tones and modern floral patterns).
In Lulu & Georgia’s spring collection, floral motifs are also featured, but as subtle silhouettes, rather than as patterns, as seen in the Los Angeles-based retailer’s Gladstone table lamp and Almici Chandelier.
As also noted in the news release from Arhaus, sculptural silhouettes continue to define the season. Lulu & Georgia’s Kitson sideboard and Kitson nightstand both feature a wavy line across the oak wood bases. And sinuous forms are also present throughout Crate & Barrel’s spring 2026 collection. The company, headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, describes its latest product launch as “modern coastal style.” One example is its modular Coast bookcase, made of oak veneer and hardwood, and Seraph bed featuring an oversized, winged headboard.
“We’re seeing a shift in design trends toward more feminine spaces, with softer lines, florals and richer wood tones,” said Daniela Alilovic, an interior designer based in Toronto. “I believe people are leaning away from harsh, masculine lines and instead gravitating toward environments that feel warmer and more expressive. There’s a sense of nostalgia driving this movement — a longing for the ‘good old days,’ so to speak. When you walk into your grandparents’ home and see florals, dark wood and unique, collected pieces, there’s an immediate feeling of comfort. In many ways, people are bringing these elements back to add more character to their spaces and create homes that feel comforting and familiar.”
