At Wold View Country Park, the appeal has always been about space, views, and a slower pace of life. As we move into 2026, holiday home design is evolving in a way that perfectly complements this countryside setting — prioritising calm interiors, thoughtful layouts, and a stronger connection with the landscape.
Here’s how the key design trends for 2026 are shaping holiday homes that feel truly at home at Wold View.
Countryside-Inspired Colour Palettes
Design in 2026 continues to take its cues from nature, and nowhere does this work better than in rural locations like Wold View. Soft greens, warm stone tones, muted clay shades and gentle taupes are replacing cooler greys, creating interiors that feel grounded and timeless.
These colours reflect the surrounding countryside, helping interiors feel calm, cohesive, and effortlessly elegant.
The result: homes that feel relaxing from the moment you walk through the door. The Willerby Sierra is great example of this.
Light-Filled, Considered Living Spaces
Open-plan living remains popular, but 2026 brings a softer, more balanced approach. At Wold View, layouts that feel spacious yet intimate are particularly appealing — spaces that allow owners to entertain, relax, and unwind without feeling exposed.
Subtle zoning through furniture placement, islands, and changes in texture helps create flow while still offering definition. You can see some great examples of that here.
Kitchens Designed for Real Living
Holiday home kitchens are no longer purely functional. In 2026, they’re designed to feel like part of a real home — somewhere to cook, gather, and spend time.
Expect to see:
- Matt cabinetry in neutral tones
- Integrated appliances
- Generous worktops and breakfast bars
- Warm lighting that enhances atmosphere
Perfect for long weekends, extended stays, and relaxed country living.
Texture Over Trend
Rather than bold patterns or short-lived trends, 2026 interiors focus on texture and materiality. Ribbed wood panels, soft upholstery, stone-effect surfaces and brushed metals add interest without overpowering the space.
This approach works beautifully at Wold View, creating homes that feel refined yet low maintenance — ideal for a peaceful retreat.
Framing the View
Large windows, patio doors, and thoughtfully positioned glazing are central to 2026 design. At Wold View, the landscape is part of the experience, and modern holiday homes are designed to make the most of it.
Interior colour choices and layouts are increasingly designed to draw the eye outward, making the view a feature in its own right.
Sustainable, Future-Focused Design
Energy efficiency and sustainability are now a core expectation. In 2026, better insulation, improved glazing, and efficient appliances are seamlessly integrated into beautifully designed homes.
It’s about reducing running costs while protecting the countryside that makes locations like Wold View so special.
A Natural Fit for Wold View
The 2026 design trends align perfectly with the ethos of Wold View Country Park — relaxed, refined, and connected to nature. These are homes designed not just to look good, but to support a slower, more considered way of life.
