Pinterest has spoken: 2026 is officially cooling things down.
Their forecast? Cool Blue. Or as they put it: “Sub-zero sophistication will be everywhere in 2026. It’s the temperature drop we’ve all been waiting for.”

Clean. Confident. Calm with an edge.
Cool Blue is the antidote to overstimulation... and we’re already a step ahead.

What Is the Cool Blue Trend?

Cool Blue is all about icy tones, crisp finishes, and interiors that feel fresh without feeling cold. Think mineral blues, frosted hues, and blue-greys that bring clarity and calm into the home.

It’s not nautical. It’s not playful.
It’s grown-up, considered, and quietly powerful.

This is colour for people who like their spaces calm, composed, and effortlessly modern.

Why Cool Blue Works So Well at Home

Cool Blue has range. It can:

  • Add polish to neutral spaces
  • Balance warmer woods and soft creams
  • Elevate minimalist interiors
  • Create calm without losing character

It’s especially effective when paired with texture, which is where we come in...

The icon Way to Get the Trend

You don’t need to repaint your walls or commit to a full room overhaul to get the look. The smartest way to bring Cool Blue home? Bean bags and soft furnishings that do the heavy lifting.

Mineral Blue Velvet

This one’s a showstopper.
Our Mineral Blue Velvet brings depth and drama while keeping things refined. The velvety finish catches the light beautifully, giving Cool Blue a richer, more luxurious feel.

It’s bold without shouting. Cool without trying too hard.
And with limited stock available, it’s very much a now-or-never moment.

Perfect for living rooms that want polish, bedrooms that lean boutique-hotel, or anywhere that needs a confident colour lift.

Frozen Blue Corduroy

Softer. More laid-back. Just as stylish.

The Frozen Blue Corduroy taps straight into that sub-zero mood Pinterest is predicting — cool-toned, tactile, and effortlessly inviting. Corduroy adds warmth and texture, making the colour feel liveable, not stark.

It’s ideal for cosy corners, relaxed lounging, and homes that want to feel calm but not flat.

Again, frozen blue is limited stock. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Why Texture Matters for Cool Blue

Cool tones shine brightest when they’re grounded in comfort. Velvet and corduroy stop blue from feeling clinical, adding softness and depth that makes a space feel welcoming.

That balance of calm and cosy is what turns a trend into something you’ll love living with.

Cool, Calm, and Built to Last

At icon, we don’t chase trends for the sake of it. We look for the ones that make sense in real homes (the ones that feel good long after the Pinterest board is forgotten).

Cool Blue fits because it’s timeless, versatile, and emotionally grounding. And with pieces like our Mineral Blue Velvet and Frozen Blue Corduroy, it’s easy to bring that 2026 feeling home in a way that lasts.

Sub-zero sophistication and bold blue hues?
We’ll take it, with a soft landing.
