January marks more than just the beginning of a new calendar year — it signals a refreshed vision for the spaces we live and work in. The new year inspires us to rethink how form meets function, from the subtle craftsmanship of unique hardware to the ambiance created by beautiful lighting fixtures. As we chart new aesthetic directions in 2026, key elements will play starring roles in shaping interiors that are both timeless and on trend.
