It's layered and lived-in, but styled with luxurious flair. It's vintage-inspired and charming, but refined and fresh. It's called 'Hollywood Cottage', and it's the design aesthetic that Shea McGee thinks will prevail in 2026.
In a recent YouTube video, the designer presented her favorite interior design trends for the year ahead – which include silver accents, blue and white details, and vintage-inspired florals – and she explained that when all of these trends are brought together, they 'evoke a definite mood'. That mood is what Shea calls 'Hollywood Cottage'.
Hollywood Cottage connects the lived-in charm of the cottagecore trend with the luxurious glamour of Hollywood-inspired interiors. 'This is 'cottage', but with a fanciness applied to it,' Shea explains. It's an aesthetic that's richly layered with details that speak to its duality – its homey, cottage-inspired side and its elegant, glamourous side.
Despite being an amalgamation of Shea's top trends for 2026, the Hollywood Cottage aesthetic has timeless appeal because of its classic, collected, and inviting nature. If it resonates with you, shop our curated collection of Hollywood Cottage-inspired decor finds, below.
