Forbes has revealed the Color of the Year 2026, and the spotlight is on earthy ochre and warm browns — hues that bring comfort, grounding, and timeless elegance into interiors. At Vaya Home, our curated fabric and texture catalog aligns perfectly with this trend, from golden velvets to rich eco-leathers and textured bouclés. In this article, we explore how these colors can be styled in modern homes, and highlight Vaya Home chairs like the Cadena and Morbido, which embody the earthy aesthetic of 2026.
According to a recent Forbes write-up, the Color of the Year 2026 is leaning into earthy tones — ochre, warm browns, clay, and other grounded hues. These colors are being embraced by paint brands and designers who want interiors that feel warm, natural, and deeply comforting.
At Vaya Home, our updated texture & color catalog is perfectly aligned with this trend. The swatches of velvets, eco-leathers, boucle, and leather effects show we’re ready for 2026’s earthy wave. In this post, I’ll show you how these colors play out in furniture and which chairs from our collection match the trend.
Why Earthy Ochre & Warm Browns Are Trending
-
Psychological warmth: Earth tones evoke safety, coziness, and a connection to nature.
-
Versatility: These hues pair well with natural woods, metals, and even cooler greys and greens as accent tones.
-
Timeless appeal: They don’t go in and out with fashion as quickly as bright, bold colors do.

Which Vaya Home Chairs Match These Earthy Tones
Here are chairs that align closely with the 2026 earthy color palette:
-
Morbido Accent Chair — The leather/cane/leather-effect finishes and warm tones of Donna Camel, Mocha Velvet, or B. Coffee would complement this chair beautifully. If you offer this chair in Donna Camel or Velva Mocha, it matches perfectly.
-
Cadena Dining Chair — If the upholstery is in Velva Mocha or Lily 24, this chair becomes a statement piece in the earthy trend.
-
Grigio Sofa Bed — While the primary hue is a neutral tone, pairing this sofa with cushions or throws in Ocean 110 or Donna Toffee from your catalog would bring it into the trend.
As Forbes predicts, 2026 is all about embracing the warmth of earth — ochre, warm browns, golden tones — infusing interiors with comfort and natural elegance. Half of what makes this trend succeed is having the right textures and materials, and Vaya Home’s catalog is already set up for it with its rich eco-leathers, velvet tones, leather-effects, and bouclé fabrics.
If you’re considering a refresh, picking one chair (like the Morbido or Cadena) in a camel, mocha, or golden velvet finish can instantly root your space in the trend while keeping your home feeling modern and elegant.
