The interior design landscape for 2026 is embracing a bold new direction as sculptural silhouettes and vibrant colours dominate the emerging FunHaus trend. Even the most practical furnishings are being transformed, with independent retailer Lakeland Furniture unveiling a selection of pieces that promise to turn everyday seating into eye-catching design statements.
Ryan Lee, founder of Lakeland Furniture, describes the new aesthetic as “a vibrant trend that infuses genuine joy into the home”. He highlights seating as a particularly effective vehicle for the FunHaus look: “Seating naturally draws attention and acts as an anchor within a room, making it an ideal starting point for those keen to introduce a sense of playfulness and style,” he says.
To inspire homeowners, Lee has curated four standout designs from the company’s collection. Among them are two striking office chairs: the Lule Carver Office Chair in a bold yellow, and the Parga Office Chair in hot pink. “Home offices have become a permanent feature for many, but they’re often overlooked when it comes to interior design,” Lee notes. “A colourful office chair not only provides the ergonomic support essential for daily use, but also creates a focal point that can enliven the entire space, all without the need for a complete overhaul.”
Elsewhere in the home, lively dining chairs and bar stools in unexpected hues can instantly refresh a room’s atmosphere. Lee points to the Cuban Bar Stool in wine red and the Hood Dining Chair in emerald green as prime examples from Lakeland Furniture’s latest range. “These rich shades add a touch of indulgence and glamour,” he explains. “Textural details further elevate the experience—the Cuban Bar Stool’s plush seat exudes character, while the velvet finish on the Hood Dining Chair commands attention and invites touch.”
Lakeland Furniture’s bold new collection of bar stools, dining chairs, and office seating is now available, with prices starting at £79.99.
