Personal taste preferences together with new and classic choices drive the buzz and anticipation. Traditional interior design and decorating rules aside, the rule of what works best in your home is what’s on trend.

It appears the color consensus for 2025 sees a slight turn away from  established neutrals in favor of leaning into darker palette choices.

Darker neutrals pair phenomenally with lighter neutrals heightening intensity of contrast.

Spaces and places in our homes script a telling narrative; a story full of character and personality.  Pieces that mirror the nouns of our lives- the people, places, and things we love and treasure instill a sense of you into the story our homes tell.

A house is where we live, but a home is where we plan, build dreams, and showcase our personal style. The life lived within a home comes alive through personal style and taste.
