The Secret Sauce To Timeless Design…But how do you nail that timeless look everyone loves—the one straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie? For color lover and Denver-based designer Nadia Watts, it’s all about “the in-between hues—those that straddle two tones rather than leaning into a single, pure color.” She expands: “Think of a blue softened with green, a red enriched with blue, a grey infused with a cool undertone, or a white warmed with a hint of pink. These nuanced shades have greater longevity in a home because they shift gracefully with the light and surrounding materials, offering flexibility and depth.”

I'm thrilled to be featured in HGTV’s article, “50 States of Antique Shopping”—a guide that highlights the best places across the country to discover vintage finds and timeless treasures. I had the opportunity to share my favorite spot for shopping for antiques and explain why incorporating storied pieces is such a vital part of my design philosophy. Whether you're a collector, a designer, or just love a good treasure hunt, this list is full of inspiration from every corner of the U.S.
People say a picture's worth a thousand words, but an entire gallery wall of photographs or fine art can tell the unique story of your home. While many arrangements put spontaneity front and center—an amalgamation of different frame sizes, shapes and materials—grid walls are poised to become the next big decorating trend.

While this office is rooted in neutrals, the addition of artwork and colorful book spines liven up the space in a way that isn’t overwhelming. “I wanted this room to feel both purposeful and inviting—a place where work and relaxation can coexist,” says Nadia Watts, the founder of Nadia Watts Interior Design. “Natural light, layered textures and personal touches make the space feel grounded yet inspiring.”
