Interior Design Trends of 2022 from 1st Dibs

1st Dibs sent out their Top Interior Design Trends for 2022 and number 7 caught my eye… Wood, Leather and other Natural Finishes.

Late summer, I was included in “Ahead of the Curve” panel discussion at the Las Vegas Market moderated by Luxe Magazine and identified upcoming trends. I recognized the trend of using Natural Materials and Artisan Made products. I have found that using natural materials is a great way to add texture to any room and can be incorporated into many different aesthetics. With the addition of a hand made piece to your design, there is a sense of grounding and embodiment that is created in the space.

Below I have shared a few my favorite products!

Art Inspiration at The Neustadt Collection

As an Interior Design I find inspiration everywhere I go. Today I am sharing a very near and dear place to me, The Neustadt Collection.

In the image above, I am standing in front of Tiffany Jewels at The Neustadt Collection in Queens, NY. These colorful jewels are from the Tiffany Studios when the firm closed in the 1930’s. The Neustadt is a near and dear place for me. My great great grandfather, Louis Comfort Tiffany, has always invoked such a special inspiration for me and visiting The Neustadt Collection brings it all to life.

I will be visiting The Neustadt this coming week and will be inspired once again!
