Interior design in Spain

As 2026 approaches, the way we design and enjoy our second homes in Spain is evolving. According to leading developer Taylor Wimpey España and interior specialists Trends Home, the coming year will be defined by quiet luxury, natural inspiration and a renewed focus on authenticity rooted in local context.

With two newly styled show homes in Mallorca—Es Voltor in Esporles and Eclipse in San Telmo—the designers at Trends Home have showcased how second homes can feel warm, welcoming and connected to their surroundings, while still delivering year-round comfort.

Quiet luxury meets natural harmony

What truly makes a second home feel lived-in, even if you only visit a few times a year? For Trends Home, the answer lies in thoughtful design that blends durability with a strong sense of place.

Both Mallorcan show homes embody the top trends predicted for 2026:

  • Quiet luxury: understated elegance through quality craftsmanship and timeless pieces.
  • Natural harmony: materials and colour palettes inspired by the surrounding landscape.
  • Contextual authenticity: interiors that celebrate local identity, from mountain textures to coastal light.

Es Voltor: a contemporary take on traditional Mallorca

Located in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca, Es Voltor’s show home draws heavily on the island’s heritage and natural landscape.

“We wanted the space to reflect the local identity of the area,” explains Marina Remmer of Trends Home. “The earthy palette, rustic furniture and natural materials honour traditional Mallorcan style while maintaining a contemporary feel.”

The result is a home that feels grounded, warm and connected to the serene mountain scenery—perfect for buyers seeking an escape that still feels distinctly Mallorcan.

Eclipse, San Telmo: inspired by light and the sea

In contrast, the Eclipse show home embraces the coastal character of San Telmo (Mallorca), using light and softness as its guiding principles.

A fresh, neutral palette enhances the natural brightness, while subtle black accents add structure. The overall effect is a calm, elegant interpretation of modern Mediterranean living.

Remmer notes, “The design evokes the serenity and beauty of San Telmo’s maritime setting, creating a balanced space that feels both contemporary and deeply connected to its location.”

Durability: a must for second homes

Because second homes often alternate between periods of intensive use and weeks of being empty, durability is essential. Trends Home recommends:

  • Treated woods
  • Washable textiles
  • High-quality, resilient materials
  • Solid structural furniture

These choices ensure the home withstands humidity, changing temperatures and sporadic use without losing its charm.

The team also advises opting for clean, versatile lines that keep spaces feeling spacious and welcoming from the moment owners return. Warm neutral tones remain a safe and stylish choice, offering an easy base for seasonal or personal touches.

Looking ahead: 2026 interior design priorities

As we head into 2026, the Spanish second home market is leaning into design that enhances wellbeing and builds deeper connections with nature.

Coastal homes

Expect interiors that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Key elements include:

  • Organic shapes
  • Marine-inspired hues
  • Sustainable materials
  • Timeless pieces that feel luxurious without being showy

Rural homes

The trend moves towards handcrafted aesthetics and sensory materials, such as:

  • Linen
  • Stone
  • Weathered woods
  • Soft, tactile textures

These choices help create warm, comforting spaces that echo the rhythms of the countryside.

Across both environments, sustainability, emotional design and longevity remain essential. The overarching goal: homes that enrich everyday life with balance, comfort and a natural sense of place.
