Sabrina Carpenter Uses A Wooden Bookshelf, Antique Books, and a Candle Sconce to Capture the Tuscan Trend That's Everywhere in 2026

If you've been nostalgic for the warm and cocooning tuscan kitchens of the early 2000s, you're in luck: they're back for 2026. This time around however, the look is more classic and understated, extending its focus on natural materials, cozy palettes, and brass accents throughout the home. We found the perfect example in Sabrina Carpenter's home.

The singer took to Instagram to post about her birthday, sharing her Tuscan-style interiors in the process. A storied corner in her Los Angeles home is replete with textural details. It features a built-in wooden bookshelf, colorful antique books, and a candleabra-shaped wall sconce. The tiny vignette proves that you don't need to repaint or totally redo your home to tap into the Italian trend; small details are enough to capture its essence.

To help you achieve the Tuscan interior design trend in your own home, we will start with a sneak peek into Sabrina's house. Then, the Homes & Gardens team has curated an edit of the best products to recreate her look, and gathered plenty of interior designer commentary on what makes it work.

Shop Sabrina's Look

Great For a Small Space

If you don't need a full-height bookshelf, opt for a lower-profile one like this piece in oiled oak to achieve a similar look on a smaller scale. It's great for displaying your books in a smaller corner.

Simple

Though the best book collections are cobbled together over years of searching, you don't always have time for that. These prettily arranged tomes are ideal for quickly updating your bookshelves.

Candle Design

This durable and timeless wall sconce would fit perfectly into an antique home, as well as adding a vintage touch as a point of contrast in a more modern property. The brass design would be the ideal complement to white walls.

Built-in Drawers

The shelving possibilities are endless with this gorgeous, acorn-finished wall unit. If you want to style your books with decorative objects, it's a great piece for spread out displays with lots of open space.

Antique Find

If you prefer a more antiqued look, this lot of 19th century hardbound books is a great choice for accenting your bookshelves. Positioned next to one another, they provide an instant sense of history.

Antique style

Form meets flame in this antique-inspired piece crafted from sturdy brass steel. The crystal detail adds some feminine whimsy to a classic silhouette, and we think Sabrina would be a fan.

First, as Sabrina's space shows, its evident that Tuscan interiors are returning because their quality has a timeless appeal. Interior designer Shiva Samiei, states: 'In 2026, Italian styles are poised to dominate. Italian interiors, with their timeless craftsmanship and use of marble and ornate woodwork, are perennial favorites.'

A wooden shelf like Sabrina's is perfect for capturing the look. Shiva explains: 'Tuscany’s design is all about embracing natural materials. Like the natural tiles, warm earth tones, and wooden paneled doors you’d find in properties such as Villa Il Santo. Each region tells its own story, but the craftsmanship and attention to detail remain constant throughout Italian interiors.'

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the 2000s Tuscan-revival trend requires thoughtful planning and attention to detail. 'A luxurious Tuscan look is all about attention to detail,' advises Shiva. 'Incorporate high-quality finishes, such as custom drapery or artisanal furniture, to elevate the space. Lighting plays a critical role—opt for layered lighting with chandeliers, wall sconces, and table lamps to create depth.'
