If you are considering building a custom home in Maryland, this article outlines the top custom home interior design trends for 2026.
Energy-Efficiency
Sustainability should always be a primary goal in any home design. The more energy efficient your house is, the more money you can save on your energy bills and remain comfortable all year long. As part of our commitment to Green Living, Robin Ford has designed our new ENERGY STAR-certified homes to include value-adding energy efficiency features, along with a combination of materials and equipment that will deliver better performance.
Relaxation
More homeowners are desiring relaxation and sports amenities. For instance, spa-like bathrooms remain in demand, while reading nooks are on the rise. Recreation rooms are also gaining traction among families and sports enthusiasts.
Accent Walls
Another custom home trend for 2026 is accent walls. They are becoming a subtle and textured focal point in most custom homes, including exposed beams and built-in storage. Accent walls can even feature a painted design, solid paint, or wallpaper.
Smart Technology
Smart appliances remain in high demand among top custom home trends this year. They include:
- Security components such as video doorbells, motion sensors, and surveillance cameras
- Smart thermostats that automatically adjust temperatures in the home to optimize energy savings
- Scheduled-based lighting (automated or voice-controlled)
- Connected fridges or laundry machines, you can monitor remotely from any device.
- Smart plugs or switches
- Central speakers for all connected items, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Nest
