Trends come and go. Colors fade. Must-haves do not give the fulfillment they promised to bring. Must-reads in social media are mostly regurgitated content presented in gloss and glitz. To-do lists get in the way of a day that wants to unfold differently.
We are in the last quarter of 2026. Where did time go in such a rush? Do you know? But I think some more important questions would be—Where are you now? What holds you tethered to life? What gives your days and nights meaning? What place grounds you?
What place grounds you?
For most of us, the answer is a no-brainer…HOME.
We spend time talking about how you can make your home beautiful, colorful, and safe. But the essential ingredients that make a place embody the full definition of home can only be provided by you…your thoughts, your actions, your spirit, your creativity, your imagination, your energy, your love. When this kind of fire is ignited in everyone living in the home, you’ve got that haven that replenishes, nourishes, and nurtures your family.
When Morning Comes
When you wake up, give thanks for the day. Count your blessings. Embrace slow mornings. Approach each day with mindfulness, a word much used in self-help books and by many gurus, that simply means paying attention to the present moment, and inhabiting the progression of time and space with intention and without judgment.
These are advice that many of us have encountered and also many have sadly given cursory thought, when an opposite action of quiet devotion to how a day plays out brings untold meaning to our lives.
This video is something we made for you and for ourselves too. If necessary, change the scenes in your mind’s eye to those that resonate with you more deeply. Choose those that spark the flame of home and belonging.
Before you step out into the world in the morning, start by reminding yourself of what home means to you. Infuse yourself with these feelings so that you bring strength and kinship wherever you go. It raises the energy you give out to people you meet in a day, and can create your very own butterfly effect.
Currents
When the team was making Boysen Color Trend 2026/2027 last year, the overarching theme that we came up with is CURRENTS.
The butterfly effect is in full display in today’s world—a key concept within chaos theory that romantically describes that a flapping of butterfly wings in one part of the world can precipitate a tornado to happen in another.
…From weak to powerful, these currents influence each of us whether we realize it or not. Uncertainty is not heading our way, we are already in it.
When initial complex systems like geopolitical alliances and global economic policies undergo changes, these have ramifications for humankind. Natural events and cutting-edge technology add to the unpredictability of living conditions. What we all have to deal with is the uncertainty that prevails in every part of the globe.
The maelstrom of change is the reason for the many vibrant and intense colors in the four color palettes, FORGE, FACE, YEARN, and TOUCH.
But know that you don’t have to add to the danger and destruction of the Charybdis in your world. Instead, bring the peace and grounding of home into your daily interactions by being fully present to your life when morning comes.
