Grand, exuberant, and exquisitely layered rooms have always had an exalted place in the design world. But are they still relevant in a post-Covid-19 world? In this episode, two top interior designers, Michelle Nussbaumer and Timothy Corrigan, argue that their styles — traditional, colorful, and eclectic — are even more valid than before, and share their insights into creating comfort, the importance of fine detailing, the coming revival of antiques, and the need for a touch of visual dissonance in every room.
In this episode, our guests tackle:
- How traditional decor and design have changed
- The keys to make a home functional, comfortable and easily livable but also beautiful
- What American clients and designers can take from European homes
- The best ways to use color to warm up a room and elevate it
- Which trends are coming next in vintage and antique furniture (hint: brown furniture!)
