Blue and brown are both among the trendiest colors for 2026, but they are rarely seen together. Luckily, Kourtney Kardashian isn't afraid to stand out. The Poosh founder's dining room is bathed in an ultra-stylish mix of blue accessories with brown furniture.

After buying her Calabassas home in 2015, Kourt enlisted interior designer to the stars, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, to outfit it. The bones are modern Mediterranean, but the interiors they came up with read more mid-century-meets-modern-art.

The museum-worthy dining room idea is grounded by a blue carpet, blue curtains, and white walls. Atop this base, a long wooden table and Pierre Jeanneret chairs bring in mid-century charm (it looks like Kourtney has the connect back chair like this one from 1stDibs, but the Eveleth Rattan Dining Chair from Wayfair is a good alternative). Modern art uplifts the room from a Roy Lichtenstein painting on the wall, to a José Esteves chandelier, to a James Prestini metal sculpture in the corner. The blue and brown color palette unites the entire space.

Though blue and brown seem an unlikely combination, it's slated to be a major trend for 2026. Popular in the 1970s, the pairing taps into the turn towards nostalgia that dominates this year's trend cycle. Interior designers are embracing the look wholeheartedly.

Brown tones have such richness and depth, and when you pair them with blue - whether it’s a soft lapis or rich indigo - it instantly feels modern and harmonious.'
