At The 54th JINHAN FAIR, many of the new ideas in home décor are found in the details. A colorful vase can brighten a shelf, a hand-finished ceramic piece can add texture, while a woven basket or decorative lamp can change the feel of a room. Small decorative pieces can make a noticeable difference to a space without requiring a complete makeover. 

Current design reports show a similar direction. Etsy’s Spring and Summer 2026 Trend Report highlights interest in handcrafted textures, expressive details and joyful use of color, with shoppers looking for ways to make their homes feel more personal. House Beautiful’s 2026 Home and Design Trend Report also highlights lived-in interiors, with nostalgia, craftsmanship and personal style appearing across its predictions for the year. Maison&Objet’s 2026 Barometer, drawing on responses from more than 1,300 professionals in around 100 countries, identifies craftsmanship, sustainability, distinctiveness and experience key themes for the decoration and lifestyle market.

For designers and buyers, these ideas come through in the products themselves. At The 54th JINHAN FAIR, new home décor pieces explore color, materials and function in different ways, from stronger color combinations and more sustainable material choices to decorative products that also serve a practical purpose.

👉Color: Bringing New Energy to the Home

Color is becoming more varied in interior design. Alongside neutral tones, designers and brands are exploring deeper shades, softer brights and nature-inspired colors. Matte and textured finishes can also give stronger colors a softer appearance.

This change can be seen across home décor, lighting, textiles, tabletop products and seasonal decorations. A colored glass vase, a patterned cushion or a statement lamp can change the atmosphere of a room without requiring a complete redesign. For retailers, smaller décor pieces can also be used to refresh seasonal displays or introduce a new color palette without changing an entire collection.

👉Material: Moving Toward More Sustainable Choices

Material choice has a direct effect on how a home product looks and feels. Wood, bamboo, rattan, natural textiles, ceramics and glass continue to appear across home collections, while designers are also experimenting with new materials and production methods. At London Design Festival 2026, the Future Matter exhibition brought together projects exploring circular materials, responsible production, traditional craftsmanship and new material research.

At JINHAN FAIR, Fairtech Holdings Limited showcased furniture designed for both people and pets, made from 100% recycled PET material. The use of this material in furniture products suitable for home spaces demonstrates that recycled materials are expanding from sectors such as packaging and textiles into everyday household products.

In the Home&Gifts market, the material used can also shape the way a product is developed and presented. Woven baskets, bamboo tableware and handmade ceramics, for example, each have their own texture, finish and production characteristics. For designers and sellers, these differences can influence how products are developed, grouped and positioned within a collection.

👉Function: Making Décor More Practical

Some home décor products are designed to be useful as well as decorative. A side table can provide extra storage, an adjustable lamp can change the direction of light, while an outdoor piece can combine decoration with lighting or charging functions. These small additions can make a product more useful in everyday settings.

Taizhou Pretty Appliance Co., Ltd., an exhibitor at JINHAN FAIR, has introduced a rattan solar floor lamp featuring a metal frame accented with rattan detailing. Its natural materials and design make it ideal for outdoor spaces. During the day, it blends seamlessly into the surroundings as an outdoor decorative piece; after sunset, the built-in solar-powered light automatically turns on, making it perfect for patios, gardens, parties, and other outdoor settings.

For designers and buyers, function is also worth considering when developing or selecting products. A practical detail can give a product a stronger reason to be chosen and make it easier to match different customer preferences and retail needs.

👉From Inspiration to Products

Taken together, these trends give manufacturers and buyers several ways to update a home collection. A new collection might start with a new color direction, a different material, a useful product feature or a group of products designed to work together in one room.

For buyers turning these ideas into sourcing plans, trade fairs remain an important place to see new products and meet manufacturers. The 54th JINHAN FAIR for Home & Gifts, taking place from October 21–27, 2026, at PWTC Expo Guangzhou, will bring together more than 1,200 Chinese home and gift manufacturers and over 300,000 new products. The fair brings different product categories and Chinese manufacturers together, providing a place to compare products, meet suppliers and source for upcoming collections.
