Best Home Assistant Dashboard Themes in 2026

If you are someone who likes to create custom Home Assistant Dashboards, than you probably know that a good theme makes all the difference in how your user interface looks like. If you are just starting out with Home Assistant, this article is a summary of the best Home Assistant Dashboard themes in 2026.

Before you can use custom themes in Home Assistant, they need to be enabled by editing the configuration.yaml file. Here’s how to do this:

1. Open your Home Assistant server
2. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Install App
3. Search for File Editor
4. Install and start the app
5. (Optional) Toggle Show in sidebar, Start on boot and Watchdog
6. Open the File Editor app
7. Open the configuration.yaml file in the config folder
8. Add the following lines:

frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

9. Save the configuration.yaml file
10. Restart Home Assistant
11. Done

Themes can be downloaded via HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) and automatically set in the config/themes/<theme_folder> directory. Alternatively, you can manually upload a theme to this directory and use it in Home Assistant. If the themes folder is not available, you can manually create it using the File Editor add-on.

Please keep in mind some of these themes utilize card-mod as a resource to fully style the theme. You need to install it in order to experience everything the theme has to offer.

Skynet Dark is a dark midnight theme built around a single palette.
