Four trends for 2026

With a new year upon us, what are the key practices, preferences and technologies emerging, which may very well define how we live, work and play?

Here at Sledge we've been engaging in conversations with clients and supplier partners, analysing our project debriefs, exploring how other industries are faring, and taking a deep dive into reports covering topics ranging from consumer behaviour, to emerging tech.

And with that we bring you a two-pager featuring four of our top trend predictions for the year ahead. From a blurring of the home and office to desire for authenticity in an age of distrust, the impact of these trends is far-reaching – they may influence the future of many sectors, and go beyond national borders.
