I believe that spaces speak to us, and the right design can bring calm, joy, and inspiration into your daily life. My goal is to make the process smooth and enjoyable, while creating a space you’ll love for years to come.

2026 Interior Design Trends: A Return to Warmth, Intention, and Living Well
As we move into 2026, interior design is undergoing a meaningful shift—one that feels less about perfection and more about presence. Homes are no longer styled solely for photos or resale value; they’re being designed to support how people actually live. The emerging theme is clear: warmth, intention, and spaces that feel deeply personal.
Here’s what’s defining interiors in 2026.
1. A Softer, Warmer Mood Takes Over
The era of sterile minimalism is fading. In its place comes a more layered, soulful approach—spaces that feel curated over time rather than copied from a showroom. Think textured walls, mixed materials, patina, and rooms that look lived in and loved.
Instead of blank white backdrops, homes are embracing depth: stone with movement, woods with grain, fabrics with weight. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s character. A home should feel collected, not staged.
2. The End of Open Concept: Rooms with Purpose
2026 marks the return of the architectural room. After years of open-concept living, homeowners are craving intimacy, function, and better acoustics.
Libraries, music rooms, private studies, speakeasy-style lounges, and sculleries are making a comeback. These aren’t formal, unused spaces—they’re intentional environments designed for reading, thinking, listening, and connecting. Buyers want rooms that support specific activities and create emotional separation from the noise of daily life.
Walls are back—and they’re welcome.
3. High-Quality Materials Are the New Flex
Luxury in 2026 isn’t loud—it’s enduring. The focus has shifted to materials that age beautifully and tell a story over time.
Real stone, unlacquered brass, plaster finishes, walnut cabinetry, and handcrafted millwork are leading the way. These materials develop patina, soften with use, and feel better the longer you live with them. Quality is visible, tactile, and timeless—and that’s the new status symbol.

4. Color Direction: Rich, Moody, and Grounded
The all-white era is officially over. Color in 2026 is warm, grounded, and confident. Browns, cognac, olive, tobacco, and layered warm neutrals are defining interiors.
Kitchens and bathrooms—once dominated by white and gray—are becoming moodier and richer. Dark stone, warm woods, colored cabinetry, and softer metallics create spaces that feel enveloping rather than stark. These colors don’t just decorate a room—they anchor it.
5. Unique Over Uniform
Homeowners are done with houses that look like everyone else’s. In 2026, individuality is everything.
Designers are mixing antiques with modern pieces, incorporating artisan-made objects, and investing in custom upholstery and one-of-a-kind finds. The result is spaces that feel personal, layered, and impossible to replicate. Uniformity is out; soul is in.
6. Sensory Luxury: Homes You Can Feel
Luxury is becoming more sensory and less visual. Fabrics are softer and richer. Lighting is warmer and more nuanced. Sound is intentionally controlled through architectural choices, drapery, rugs, and upholstered surfaces.
Homes are being designed not just to look beautiful—but to feel calming, grounding, and supportive. These are spaces you experience with your whole body, not just your camera.
⸻
The Big Picture
The 2026 design movement is about returning to what matters: comfort, craftsmanship, and spaces that reflect how we live now. Homes are becoming more intimate, more expressive, and more human.
Design is no longer about chasing trends—it’s about creating environments that age well, feel good, and tell your story.
It’s important to have a space that you love and is functional for you and your family. Timeless will always trump trends.
You may have jumped on the gray bandwagon in 2015 (ish) and may be stumped on how to bring color to the lifeless gray or perhaps you added too much black and white and the space seems cold. I can help you bring color back into your home and warm it up.
Also, you may have hard finishes that you cannot update at the moment that are clashing with the floor that clash with the paint and now the furniture! What should you do? I can help determine the undertones and find a solution to make the space harmonize.
Maybe you have a lot of good furniture and accessories but don’t know how to pull it all together.
I can source furniture and accessories for you as well as hard finishes, tile, wood flooring, granite countertops, cabinets , etc.
A former TV producer turned designer I have taken my creative passion, project management skills, communication, listening and problem solving skills into the realm of interior design ready to help you create your beautiful space.
I produced a commercial for Linens n Things airing on Bravo and I’ve had my fashion design accessories in 24 boutiques across the US including 5th Ave, NY and Belair, LA!
I look forward to hearing from you!
