What I’m Shopping For: Spring Décor
The weather has been pretty great this winter, but last week just turned a corner. The sun was up longer, the air was warmer, and yesterday I just put out chairs on my front porch! Spring is a great time to refresh all aspects of your life, including your home décor. Here are some products that I’m eyeing for my own house.

The 3 Kitchen Trends You’re About To See Everywhere
I recently came back from the 2026 KBIS exhibition; a kitchen and bath show from and for industry leaders. Here are the top three trends that you’re about see on repeat.
Hello From KBIS!
Today I’m writing from Orlando Florida! I’m here for KBIS (the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show). While I’m away for the week, I am soaking in the inspiration and product knowledge.
The 70’s Are Back, Baby!
What is the first thing you think of when I say 70’s interior design style? Maybe it’s shag carpeting, maybe it’s wood wall paneling, or maybe you think of psychedelic colors. For better or for worse, that is exactly what’s coming back in style. Read on to see how I would incorporate this trend today (2026, not 1976).

Wood is making a comeback. Whether it’s rustic or smooth, light toned or dark, I’m seeing wood on floors, ceilings, walls, furniture, accessories, beams, cabinets….
Is It “Grandma Chic” or “Grandma Core?”
We’ve seen iterations of it in interior design like Cottage Core, but “Grandma Core” encompasses more than just interiors. It’s the slow living, baked goods and handmade gifts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m currently working on a cross stich pattern my grandma left behind (probably purchased in the 1970’s or 80’s…), but for this blog’s purpose, I’m going with “Grandma Chic.”

You could have a totally monochromatic room but with the addition of different textures, that space could feel more interesting and grounded, verses boring and flat. In 2026, textures will now be showing up on walls. Here’s how to achieve this look for yourself:
What is Color Capping?
For color capping, think color drenching, but with a different color on the crown and ceiling. This is usually within the same color family just a shade or two darker, but it could also be a contrasting color, if you are feeling a little bold.
Top 5 Interior Design Trends for 2026
As an interior designer, it’s my job to stay up to date on the newest trends in home décor, colors and styles, but every year, I feel like there are so many new niche trends! Some are really cool and interesting and innovative, some are subtle shifts in what was already happening, some are driven by technology or the latest Tik-Tok trend. As a very opinionated person, I can tell almost immediately if there is a trend I don’t like or a style that I love, but would never design myself. So my list of the top 5 trends for this year are my picks of what I actually like, and could see incorporating into my designs for my clients. Let’s dive in:
