Trends & Styles
A small collection of the directions, materials, and quiet ideas shaping the rooms I’m designing this season. Less trend-chasing, more of the timeless things that feel especially right today.
Trend 01 · Color
Ivory, taupe, and bone — quiet shades doing all the work.
The most beautiful rooms right now aren't loud. They're built from tone-on-tone neutrals — ivory plaster against taupe linen, bone bouclé softened by oat-colored wool — with a single graphite or matte black moment to anchor the whole composition. It reads calm in person and absolutely timeless in photos.
Trend 02 · Materials
Limestone, raw oak, unlacquered brass — finishes that age beautifully.
Quiet luxury is really a love letter to materials. Honed limestone instead of polished marble. Raw white oak instead of stained walnut. Unlacquered brass that patinas with every touch. Linen that softens with every wash. These are the finishes that look better in five years than they did the day they were installed.
Trend 03 · Philosophy
One perfect antique table beats five new ones — every time.
The pendulum has swung. After years of more-is-more, we're collectively craving rooms that breathe. One sculptural antique. Two beautifully made chairs. A single hand-thrown bowl. Quiet luxury is about editing — choosing each piece slowly and well, and trusting the empty space around it to do its own quiet work.
Trend 04 · Lighting
Plaster lamps, brass arcs, and the warmth that only a real bulb can give.
Overhead lighting alone will never feel like home. The rooms I'm loving most right now layer three or four sources of warm, low light — a plaster table lamp, an antique brass arc, a tiny picture light, a candle. Sculptural shapes by day, golden pools of light by dusk. Every hour of the day gets its own mood.
