Before considering how a space will look. I always like to consider how you want it to make you feel first! Maybe an entire home will be cohesive and transmit the same vibe throughout or perhaps you like to have a lot of variety to create different spaces for different moods and activities. Like a dark and moody room for movies or reading vs a bright and open area for gathering and entertaining. Luxury interior design is more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating an atmosphere that influences emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.

The psychology of design plays a pivotal role in shaping how spaces make us feel, from relaxation and comfort to inspiration and energy. Understanding these psychological principles allows designers to curate spaces that enhance both mood and functionality.

As we step into 2025, the world of interior design continues to evolve, blending innovation with timeless elegance. Whether you're refreshing your home or embarking on a full-scale renovation, staying ahead of the trends can ensure your space feels fresh, luxurious, and reflective of modern sensibilities. Although we are more advocates of personal design styles over trends. There is no denying that just like fashion, some styles come in and out of vogue. We advise staying true to yourself and getting inspired by some of the latest directions.

Here are the top interior design styles that we believe will dominate in 2025.

Homecoming is a global nature photography series born from a deeply personal journey of seeking and redefining “home” in the world’s wild places. From the wind-swept shores of Miami to the quiet hillsides of Scotland, each photograph captures a different face of Mother Nature, revealing something essential about resilience, belonging, and rootedness. As I traveled across continents, designing homes for others while often far from my own, I came to realize that “home” is more than a place—it’s a feeling that can be found within us and within the landscapes that shape us.

Among the series, Why Do Palm Trees Sway?, taken in Miami, speaks to the strength and flexibility of nature in times of turbulence. Watching palm trees sway through storms, I saw a reminder of resilience—a quality that we, too, are called upon to embody in life’s uncertain moments. Stillness Whispers, captured in the serene English countryside, is an homage to the quiet wisdom nature shares when we pause to listen. In contrast, Grounded Roots, an image of a mist-shrouded oak in Scotland, conveys a profound sense of groundedness, standing proud and resolute against the ever-changing landscape around it.

Do you want to create a luxury look for less? Oftentimes in the design process we have to take a high/low approach to get the best overall completed look.

Built in custom joinery can be expensive. One way to overcome this challenge, especially in non primary spaces like a recreational room or children’s rooms or perhaps a second home, like a beach home is to use quality pe-fabricated pieces.

These 5 tiered bookshelves are an amazing way to get that built in look at a fraction of the cost. Go with a single bookcase or a 3 piece selection for the real built in look and feel.
