Pinterest Predicts 2026 — Trends to Watch and How to Use Them

Pinterest just released Pinterest Predicts 2026 along with a Marketing Playbook full of ideas for creators, brands, and anyone looking for inspiration.

Pinterest Predicts is their annual trend forecast. It looks at billions of searches and saves to figure out what’s growing now and what’s likely to be big next year. It is not just a list of pretty things, it is actually a tool to help us plan ahead and get creative before trends take off.

For 2026, some of the trends to watch include bold and expressive home design. Minimalism is taking a backseat and eclectic, nostalgic, and playful interiors are coming to the front. In beauty, trends like Glitchy Glam and Cool Blue are all about creativity and self-expression instead of trying to be perfect. More broadly, trends are shifting faster than ever, so being thoughtful about what we create is going to be key.

The Playbook shows how to take these trends and actually use them. Planning ahead instead of chasing trends gives you an edge. Picking trends that feel authentic to you or your brand will make your work stand out. Trying new formats and storytelling keeps your content fresh, while combining trendy ideas with timeless basics makes sure your work stays relevant. These ideas are not just for personal projects, they are great for collaborations, community experiments, and shared projects too.

Pinterest Predicts 2026 is not a rulebook but it is a lens to help us experiment, stay creative, and connect with trends in a way that feels true to us.
