Hey friend! It's here - the most anticipated episode all year. The What's Hot & What's Not in home design in 2025. This year I gathered my insight from Better Homes and Garden, House Beautiful, Southern Living and Elle Decor. Surprisingly this year, more than any other years, most of these lists were in alignment and agreement with each other - not many outliers. Of course, I added my personal opinion about some of them, where others I was in complete agreement and even some where I was in disagreement. :) Trend or not, recommended design choices by fancy-pants designers or not, the ultimate goal here is for you to LOVE YOUR HOME. To release any expectations that your homes should be Pinterset perfect or Instagram worthy. Your home should be a reflection of you and if that means you put carpet into your bathroom because you love the way if feels on your feet when you step out of the bath (you'll have to listen to the episode to know WHY in 2025 I'm talking about carpeted bathrooms), if it makes you happy - it's OK. ;) Joking aside, I know that making decisions in your home is a big deal. It's frustrating, laborious and connected to a lot of things that have nothing to do with the ultimate goal of what it looks like: money spent, compromising styles, honoring grandma's heirlooms, etc. If you are ready for a bit of guidance and a lot of support as you balance it all in 2025 - I invite you to book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call. Together we'll create a plan that fits your needs while matching your personality, budget and timeline.

Mentioned: Ballard Designs Watch the Full Episode - Ballard Designs YouTube Josh Young | IG Artful Home Decorating Dilemma Hi Amanda! Thank you for being a loyal listener! We loved diving into your primary bedroom refresh, and we have some fun ideas to help you elevate the space. Let's break it down step by step: Since you're keeping the pink chair and artwork, we suggest leaning into that pink as your accent color. Try incorporating pink into decorative pillows, drapes, and other textiles. We recommend using neutral tones for your bedding to keep things balanced and avoid overwhelming the space. A classic white bedding set with pink accents could help tie everything together without feeling too busy. For a fresh look, try layering textures in your bedding with different fabrics like linen or cotton. Keeping the palette neutral with subtle pink accents will create a serene yet stylish space. As for the drapes, consider using a light neutral with a hint of pink or blush undertones to complement the existing pink pieces. Since you want to replace your nightstands and avoid matching the dressers, look for options that offer storage but are lighter in tone or have a different texture. Painted nightstands or ones in a lighter wood could work well to contrast the darker dresser. Pair them with stylish lamps that fit your overall aesthetic—maybe incorporating more of that pink or even brass elements for a pop of elegance. We understand your husband wants to keep a fan, but you can opt for one without a light kit for a cleaner, less obtrusive look. Pair it with plenty of beautiful table or floor lamps to keep the space well-lit. The current TV placement does seem a bit top-heavy with the narrow dresser. Consider mounting the TV on the wall to free up space on the dresser for decorative items like a beautiful lamp or artwork. If wall-mounting isn't an option, switching the dresser with a wider, lower piece could help balance the space better. This will also make the room feel less cluttered and more intentional. We hope these tips spark some inspiration as you tackle your refresh! Happy decorating!

LIBERTY Sessions with Nada Jones | Celebrating women who do & inspiring women who can |
Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host of Pulling the Thread. Ultimately, Elise is a seeker and synthesizer, braiding together wisdom traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we're here. She's also the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. The book explores the ways patriarchy embeds itself in our consciousness. The Seven Deadly Sins—Sloth, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Anger—reads like a checklist of what it means to be a "good" woman and offers a path forward, moving ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance. Elise is a frequent contributor to Oprah and has written for The New York Times, Elle Decor, Stylist, and more. She has co-written 12 books, including five New York Times Best Sellers. Previously, she was the chief content officer of goop, and co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix. Before goop, Elise was the editorial projects director of Condé Nast Traveler. Before Traveler, she was the editor at large and ultimately deputy editor of Lucky Magazine, appearing regularly on Today, E!, Good Morning America, and The Early Show. She has a B.A. from Yale. In this episode, Nada sits down with Elise to learn what prompted her to write On Our Best Behavior and to unpack how women have contorted themselves to find a place in history. Elise shares anecdotes about how modesty was prioritized and impacted her life. She discusses the importance of women showing up together and gives us context for why collectivism is essential. This cultural therapist (recently coined at a conference and an appropriate title for Elise) is at once a researcher, teacher, student, and friend. Her ability to clearly articulate our cultural condition gives wings to our unnamed inklings and fragmented thoughts. Elise is currently reading The Origin of Satan by Elaine Pagels, Morality by Jonathon Sack, and Integral Psychology by Ken Wilber. You can find additional recommendations at Bookshop, or Goodreads.

You have to physically go in and see it. You have to go into the shops. I think one of the most valuable pieces of advice that I've learned from chatting on our podcast too is you have to go out and shop in person. You have to touch the things, the fabrics, you have to sit on the sofas, feel the upholstery. Physically doing it is really important, especially and particularly with vintage.” 14:20 www.arielokin.com Instagram: @arielokin https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity https://www.alicelaneinteriordesign.com/interior-design-service-podcast-campaign https://alicelanehome.com/pages/home-furnishing-podcast-campaign News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

An architect by training, Tom Scheerer's career in design began almost on a whim, when he and Jeffrey Bilhuber met and agreed to collaborate on a room in a showhouse. Their partnership was short lived, but it led Scheerer into what became a sparkling career, with projects around the world, two books, and regular appearances on Elle Decor's A List and the AD100. Now, he's winding down his firm, and, through a unique profit-sharing agreement, handing off more and more of the business to his employees. On this episode of the podcast, he speaks with host Dennis Scully about why it was an advantage to never apprentice for another designer, why he never got deeply into licensed product, and why the most important quality a client can have is a sense of humor.This episode is sponsored by Spring Street by Pollack and CryptonLINKSTom ScheererDennis ScullyBusiness of Home
To the cult British interior and furniture designer Ilse Crawford, interiors too often take a backseat to architecture. Through her humanistic, systems-thinking, “Frame for Life” approach, however, Crawford has shown how interiors and architecture should instead be viewed on the same plane and, as she puts it on this episode of Time Sensitive, “walk hand in hand.” Widely known for creating indoor spaces that are notable in their tactility, warmth, and comfort—environments that incorporate, to use her phrase, “visceral materiality”—Crawford oversees her namesake London-based design studio, Studioilse, which she launched in 2003, and whose projects include the first Soho House members' club in New York, the Ett Hem hotel in Stockholm, and the Cathay Pacific lounges in Hong Kong. Crawford is also the founder of the department of Man and Wellbeing at the Design Academy Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, which she headed for two decades. Prior to her career as a designer, she was the celebrated founding editor of Elle Decoration U.K.On this episode, Crawford discusses her approach to crafting beautiful, highly original spaces that push against today's speedy, copy-paste, Instagram-moment world; her early career in media; and her personal definition of the word “slow.”Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:[5:09] StudioIlse[7:25] A Frame for Life[58:32] Design Academy Eindhoven[7:25] Svenkst Tenn[7:25] Ett Hem[16:36] Jeanette Mix[1:02:51] Cathay Pacific[47:42] Elle Decoration[29:11] The Eyes of the Skin[33:52] Alvar Aalto[33:52] Paimio Sanatorium[33:52] Christopher Alexander[31:35] Sensual Home[35:24] Leonard Koren[35:46] Frida Escobedo[47:42] Architect's Journal[47:42] The World of Interiors[47:42] Min Hogg[52:48] Donna Karan[54:04] Soho House[54:04] Babington House[1:00:08] Home Is Where the Heart Is?
This week we wanted to talk about some trends we saw pop up in an Elle Decor article and we feel like we wanna fight back on some of these things they say are a big deal. So we're going to break down this article and break down/debunk, or agree with some of these kitchen and bath trends. All of us, both who are hosting and listening to the podcast need a moment to figure out what's true and what's not because sometimes people are reporting on things and maybe have only asked one source, so we want to make sure that we are giving you our best information based on what we're seeing since we're on the front lines of design. We want you to be well equipped before you go and make these really expensive decisions based on what you read in an article.

We just got a pizza oven and have just been using it way too much. It's like making dinner, what we have to do anyway, but then it's an activity at the same time. It's memory making.” 43:58 https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5
We welcome Los Angeles based interior designer and writer David Netto this week. David's work has been featured in Vogue, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, and many more. David is on the AD100 list, and has also written about the history of architecture and ensign for the Wall Street Journal and New York Times Style Magazine and is now a contributing editor for Town and Country. In our conversation, we talk with David about his inspiration for design, and his gorgeous new self-titled book. David shares more about how he creates a furniture plan, his love of the dramatic in design, and he shares a few practical tips for creating elegance in your home. What You'll Hear On This Episode: David's father owned the historic fabric house, Cowtan & Tout. From an early age, David had an appetite and appreciation for theater in decor, and combining the modern with antique. How and why a slightly unfinished look can be elegant. Using chairs like chess pieces in design. A few of David's other versatile tools to make rooms like artsy, dramatic and bohemian. How a cooking star influenced David's self-titled book. Storytelling is the foundation of good decorating. How David starts creating a furniture plan. Afraid of a beautiful chocolate brown wall? Don't be! What David looks for when choosing fabric or upholstery. East vs. West coast design. The importance of having a team of greatly skilled people who can play up to your own strengths. Mentioned: Ballard Designs David Netto Design David Netto IG David Netto monograph Decorating Dilemma: Thank you for writing in, Rachel! First, David is going to dream. In a world where construction is possible, we would cut that window straight ahead down to the floor and turn it into a French window that has a railing. In reality though, David would demolish the bookcases on the left and right, and retain them just at the end. He would invest in four clipped bookcase lights (there's a store in London that he loves for this) and some nice paint. Also, David would paint the floor with high gloss paint! Something to keep in mind and put on your list, if you agree!
