Design Trends for that Can't-Wait-To-Get-Home Vibe

As the seasons shift and warm sunlight lingers a bit longer every evening, our homes start to feel a little different — a subtle change that signals a comfortable, lived-in vibe. It's an interior that welcomes what designers say is key to a home: warmth. It's a return to eclectic, curated, personal spaces by leaving minimalism behind in favor of a genuinely relaxed atmosphere.

Create a Calming Backdrop

Walls of warm neutrals, deep jewel tones, velvety browns, and sage greens establish an inviting, balanced foundation.

Revive Rich Woods

Deeper wood tones bring character and contrast to living spaces. One trend features a return to stand-alone kitchen pieces rather than the built-in cabinetry that's a hallmark of the modern age. Repurposing vintage pieces or shopping estate sales and antique stores keeps craftsmanship in circulation and supports sustainability.

Dial Up Dimension

Texture is king when it comes to cultivating rooms with a cozy ambience. Layer piles of chenille or boucle pillows, add fringe or tassels to beds or chairs, and hang tapestries or antique quilts on walls for a tactile appeal that invites touch and adds depth.

Reclaim Retro Floors

Everything old is new again as hardwood floors go retro with classic chevron and herringbone patterns. Terra cotta tile brings timeless charm, while statement rugs add warmth, color and personality.

Layer the Light

From ceiling fixtures to wall sconces, choose lighting that's as artistic as it is functional. Make it the “statement jewelry” of your rooms. Display oversized mirrors with unique frames to reflect light and add visual interest to your home.
