Kingdom Timekeepers: Releasing 2026 Trends to Elevate Your Creative Business!

👑Hello Kingdom Timekeepers! Marielly here, and I felt it in my heart to share something truly beneficial with you, especially if you create content around creativity, whether that means crafting, selling physical products, or offering digital goods. This is all about getting ahead of the curve!

I want to talk about trends—specifically how to find out what will be huge in the coming year so you can prepare your business now.

The Cherry on Top: A Lesson from Last Year

I remember when I first learned about an incredible resource that shows you what’s going to be trending for the year: Pinterest Trends.

Last year, I started noticing the fruit cherry popping up everywhere. Cherries in fashion, decor, and products. Guess what? I knew that was going to happen! Why? Because when I checked the annual Pinterest trend forecast, cherry was one of the predicted trends.

I even jumped on it myself! When I was designing sublimation t-shirts, I created several with cherry designs because I knew it was trending this year. This proves just how valuable this insight is for creative entrepreneurs like us.

So, how can you find out what will be trending for 2026? It's time to prepare! There are a lot of amazing things coming, and you can pick and choose what you want to focus on for your brand.

The best place to find this information is right on the platform itself: trends.pinterest.com.

When you land on the page, you'll see a wonderful motto: "Stayed ahead of your audience." This is your cue to start preparing your products and content now for what your audience will be looking for soon.

Shopping and Search Trends to Inspire You

Before we get to the big forecast, scroll down and you’ll see the Shopping Trends and Search Trends. These are fantastic resources:

• Shopping Trends: This gives you ideas about what people are currently shopping for, like cookware, perfumes/colognes, fireplace accessories, or even things like teeth whitening! If your business offers products in any of these categories, this gives you a great idea of what to optimize. I was especially interested to see Desk and Shelf Clocks—a perfect reminder for us Kingdom Timekeepers to focus on our divine timing!

• Search Trends: These are the actual keywords people are typing in right now (like "Thanksgiving outfit," "winter outfits"). Use these keywords when writing your blog posts, product descriptions, and social media captions to boost your visibility.

The Main Event: Pinterest Predicts 2026

The section I really want you to focus on is Pinterest Predicts 2026. This is the annual trend forecast released every December, highlighting trends that are set to shape the next year with long-term growth potential.

Here are just a few of the exciting trends you might see for 2026:

• Gimme Gummy Glamour

• Poet Core

• Neo Deco

• Scent Stacking (A favorite of mine!)

• Lace Up Anything (Hello, crafters!)

• Pen Pals (A wonderful way to connect with customers!)

• Vamp Romantic

• Cool Blue

• Afrohemian Decor

🔬 Deep Dive: Scent Stacking for Creative Businesses

Let's dive into one I’m excited about: Scent Stacking.

This trend isn't just about perfume; it's about layering fragrances to create a custom, bespoke scent. Gen Z and Millennials are moving away from single scents and creating their own unique formulas by blending oils and perfumes.

If you sell wax melts, for instance, this is huge! You could create sets designed for layering, teaching your customers how to mix your different home fragrances to create a brand-new atmosphere.

Look at what people are searching for:

• Niche perfume collection

• Perfume layering combinations

• Signature scent

• How to layer scent

This tells us that people are looking for information as much as they are looking for products. You can provide tutorials on layering body creams with perfumes, or mixing wax melts, thereby not only selling products but providing incredible value.
