2026 Luxury Design Trends for Vacation Homes

The design trends we are installing in top-performing Orlando vacation rentals this year — and which trends are worth your money.

Painting the whole home in the trend color of the year. A bold, of-the-moment color makes the home look dated within a few years. Keep the walls and large furniture timeless, and add personality with art, pillows, and lighting — those are inexpensive to swap later. Repainting a nine-bedroom home is not.

Open shelves decorated with small objects. They look good in one photo, then create extra cleaning work on every turnover. Closed cabinets keep the home easy to reset between guests.

Delicate materials that cannot handle guests. Bouclé fabric that pills, marble that stains, matte black faucets that show water spots. If a material needs careful treatment, it does not belong in a rental. There is a durable, rental-friendly version of nearly every luxury material today.
