As we look toward the interior trends of 2026, the design world is poised for a dramatic departure from the “greige” minimalism and flat-pack uniformity of previous years. In its place is a movement toward eclecticism, a style defined not by matching sets, but by the bold, curated collision of different eras, textures, and stories. In this new landscape, the home becomes something closer to a private museum, a space shaped by personal taste, memory, and discovery rather than rigid design rules.
Our upcoming auctions offer a treasure trove for those looking to build this “new eclectic” aesthetic. For those seeking architectural gravitas, we have a fascinating selection of ecclesiastical items sourced directly from a church, including carved crucifixes, liturgical linens, and inscribed brassware that bring a sense of history and devotion to any modern space. These pair beautifully with the organic, tactile nature of abstract contemporary studio pottery, as well as intricately carved dark wooden hinged-top jewellery boxes and oriental-style blue-and-white porcelain vases.
To add a sense of curiosity to a room, look no further than items sourced from apothecary collections. Large-scale brass scales, hand-blown glass carboys, and labelled medicinal bottles provide a wonderful “cabinet of curiosities” sensibility that feels both historically grounded and freshly renewed.
The beauty of eclecticism is that there are no rules, only your own eye for the unique. When your home is treated as a living collection, every object earns its place and tells part of your story. We invite you to explore our upcoming sales and find that one-off piece that turns a house into a truly personal home.
