I Got a Rare Look at 2026’s Biggest Decor Trends — Before They Hit Stores

As a style editor, I love to window shop. That’s why I always look forward to Shoppe Object shows! The scale of this home and gift trade show, based in New York, is hard to believe; I got my steps in for the week while browsing all the latest releases and familiar favorites in the world of home decor. 

As the first show of 2026, I couldn’t wait to see what was in store this time. After careful consideration, I’m proud to present Apartment Therapy’s top 10 “Best in Show” from Shoppe Object. Check them out below! While some are available to shop now, a few are yet to launch — so keep an eye out for those releases in the coming months. 

I actually heard about Counterpart from another attendee before I even started walking the halls at the show, so I was very eager to check out this buzzy booth. Their stylish, retractable USB-C charger is bound to be a big hit. It reduces cord clutter, is easy to fold up and travel with, and currently comes in five fabulous colors!

Another Studio’s adorable plant charms caught my eye first — but the real star of this year’s show was their new Change Frame. This adorable little picture frame lets you swap out the art without even having to take it off the wall. It’s perfect for postcards and for parents of artistically inclined little ones.

If you’ve missed Open Spaces viral shoe rack since it’s been out of production, Apto’s new model is for you. It comes in two chic colors and is easy to tuck into tiny entryways and cramped closets, with its slim profile and four levels of storage. Plus, it has a shelf on top to keep your keys and sunglasses at the ready.

Busts are so back, baby! Sophia Mitchell, artist and founder of LitBodies, creates these stunning sculptures and candles — and advocates for diversity in the home decor industry, “one design at a time.” Check out her best-selling sculpture Resurgence Baddie, and her fancy sister Regal Baddie, who shines extra bright with a hand-gilded gold leaf base.

I saw (and smelled) many a candle at Shoppe Object, but Choice Blooms stood out. Their soy blend wax and hemp wicks make these candles a cleaner burn, and the super-chic crinkled glass vessel is designed to be reused when you’re done, too. Simply remove the wick and the last bit of wax, et voilà! Your new favorite water glass. 

I’ve been a fan of Brooklyn-based brand Wooj for some time, so I was thrilled to see they were debuting some new designs and colors at this year’s show. Their signature mini lamps have now gone cordless, and their new Amber Wavy Lamp is a total showstopper. 

Four Rabbit was new to me, but their bright colorful display caught our my instantly. They combine fun and fashion into stylish bandannas that double as board games — or, in this case, as the ultimate IKEA trip companion! The Loose Screws bandana includes inch and centimeter rulers to help you measure on the go (and in style). 

Pavilion’s designer paper plates are so chic, I could’ve sworn I was looking at stoneware dishes. Their bright and colorful china copycat designs will have your guests in awe, especially at just $8.50 for an eight-pack set. I loved the classic cabbage designs as well. 

Birdie was one of the most technologically innovative new releases I encountered at the show. This adorable little feathered friend is not just for show; the device actually monitors your air quality! When air quality is poor, the little bird flips upside down on his perch, letting you know it’s time to open a window. 

Toward the end of the show, I totally fell in love with tf.design’s innovative handmade servingware. Crafted from food-safe resin, this chic little swan swam right into the last spot on our “Best in Show” list! Available in three sizes, these beauties could be used as anything from trinket dishes to vessels for dips or ice buckets.
