Step Inside the 2026 IDEA Home: Country Club Living Comes to Life

Each year, the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show sets the stage for what’s next in home design, and the 2026 IDEA Home is no exception. This year’s showcase invites visitors to experience a refined yet welcoming vision of “Country Club Living,” brought to life through elegant furniture, rich materials, and layered luxury home decor curated by HOM Furniture. From classic silhouettes to bold black details, the IDEA Home blends timeless style with modern livability—offering endless inspiration for homeowners who appreciate enduring design with personality.

The IDEA Home Experience at the Minneapolis Home + Garden Show

Running February 25 through March 1 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, the 2026 IDEA Home is a centerpiece of the show, offering a fully immersive walk-through of a thoughtfully designed home. Unlike browsing a showroom floor, the IDEA Home allows you to experience furniture and decor exactly as it’s meant to be lived in—styled, layered, and placed within real rooms that flow together seamlessly.

This year’s unifying concept, Country Club Living, sets a sophisticated tone from the moment you step inside. Think tailored elegance, classic forms, and a sense of quiet luxury that feels just as appropriate for entertaining as it does for everyday living.

Country Club Living: A Timeless Design Story

When planning the 2026 IDEA Home, HOM Furniture focused on elevated design elements that feel cohesive across every space. The country club aesthetic is woven throughout the home, not as a theme that overwhelms, but as a refined backdrop that allows each room to shine in its own way.

This approach celebrates traditional influences—warm color palettes, rich textures, and stately furniture—while incorporating fresh updates that keep the look current. The result is a home that feels established, polished, and effortlessly livable.

The Gathering Room: Classic Comfort with Statement Style

One of the most striking spaces in the home is the gathering room, where classic design takes center stage. Anchored by leather chesterfield sofas, the room immediately communicates sophistication and comfort. These Winslow leather sofas showcase a timeless chesterfield silhouette—deep button tufting, rolled arms, and luxurious leather that only gets better with age.

Adding architectural interest to the space is a set of Elena cabinets, true statement pieces positioned on each side of the fireplace. Both functional and decorative, the cabinets reinforce the classic-meets-sophisticated aesthetic, while providing a striking focal point within the room.

Balancing the richness of the leather is the Arthur accent chair, upholstered in a bold plaid fabric. Its pattern introduces visual interest while reinforcing the tailored feel of the room. Bold black details throughout—seen in furniture accents and decor—add contrast and a sense of drama, giving the space a refined edge without feeling heavy.

Layered accent pieces complete the room, proving that luxury home decor isn’t about excess, but about thoughtful selection. Each piece serves a purpose, adding depth and personality to the overall design.

Golf Simulator Room: Elevated Entertainment

Country club living wouldn’t be complete without a nod to leisure and recreation. The golf simulator room delivers exactly that, blending function and style in a way that feels both relaxed and upscale.

A sophisticated pub table anchors the space, creating a natural gathering point for friends and family. This room demonstrates how elegant furniture can elevate even the most casual areas of the home, turning a recreational space into a destination for entertaining. It’s a perfect example of how today’s homes are designed to support both hobbies and hospitality—without sacrificing style.

Dining Room Drama: Bold Black Takes the Lead

The dining room continues the Country Club Living story with standout pieces from HOM Furniture’s new Xavier collection, where bold black finishes bring instant drama and refinement. The dining table and chairs feel substantial and tailored—perfectly suited for everything from elegant dinner parties to everyday meals that still feel special.

The pieces selected for this room highlight a growing trend toward statement dining spaces—rooms designed to impress while remaining warm and inviting. The combination of black accents, timeless silhouettes, and thoughtful detailing creates a look that feels enduring, elevated, and unmistakably polished.

Bedrooms Designed for Rest and Refinement

The bedrooms in the 2026 IDEA Home carry the country club aesthetic into more personal spaces. Also featuring pieces from the Xavier collection, these rooms embrace a tailored, restful look that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing style.

Warm color palettes replace the cooler grays of recent years, creating a sense of calm and approachability. Stone-inspired accents and layered textures add depth, while elegant furniture silhouettes ensure the spaces feel cohesive with the rest of the home. These bedrooms are designed as retreats—spaces that feel polished yet personal.

Trends Reflected Throughout the Home

The 2026 IDEA Home captures several key furniture and design trends shaping interiors this year:

• A return to classic, traditional styles with timeless silhouettes

• Warmer, richer color palettes that feel inviting and lived-in

• Increased use of stone accents for an elevated, organic touch

• Thoughtful furniture layouts that encourage conversation and connection

Together, these trends reinforce the enduring appeal of elegant furniture and intentional design.

Meet the Designers Behind the Look

Adding even more value to the experience, members of the HOM Design Team will be onsite daily at the IDEA Home throughout the show. This is a unique opportunity to talk directly with designers about current trends, furniture selections, and how to translate what you see in the home into your own space. Whether you’re facing a design dilemma or simply gathering inspiration, their expertise is an invaluable part of the visit.
