Stained Glass - “I’ve always been drawn to color—the richer the better. I am the great-great-granddaughter of Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany Studios and Glass, and Tiffany glass is full of classic gem tones and deep concentrated colors and those color palettes have been an inspiration for me throughout my career. Colors may come and go, however deeply saturated gem tones seem to always look chic. I have always believed and continue to believe that you cannot go wrong with the right mix of old and new. That perfect vintage item mixed in with modern and sleek.” —Nadia Watts

Homes & Garden - Outdated kitchen color trends – Five Colors to Avoid in 2025, and What to use Instead →

Thank you to Homes & Garden for featuring me in this insightful piece on five colors to avoid in 2025.

Cool-Tones Grey- This color trend is commonly associated with ultra-modern finishes, which can also be seen by some as outdated for 2025. 'Industrial kitchens with loads of gray, metal, and commercial finishes are a thing of the past,' adds interior designer Nadia Watts. 'The starkness just doesn’t feel homey or comfortable. People want their kitchen to feel lived in, to feel comfortable, and like it’s the heart of the home. It’s hard to create a cozy kitchen destination with shiny hard sleek surfaces at every turn.'

I suggest:

MAKE THE VERY MOST OF YOUR WALL ART

Think about where you hang your frame too, urges Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design. ‘Most people hang their art too high; this can make even the fanciest art look cheap.  A good rule is to hang your art at 60” from the floor, and centered.’ 

'Once you have it hung correctly, light it up!  There are a lot of great products on the market for this, including wireless art lights that you can stick right on your wall, and angled can lights that will allow you to light your artwork from the ceiling,’ adds Nadia.

Oversized Handles

'A unique mix of materials and textures for kitchen cabinet knobs are having their moment including leather, Lucite, acrylic, wood and stone,' says Nadia Watts, founder of Nadia Watts Interior Design. 'Integrated pulls are sleek and functional and handleless cabinets are all the rage. Sleek, clean lines still rule with knobs and handles going incognito allowing simplicity to shine and the cabinetry to take center stage. On the flip side of the modern streamlined approach, vintage and antique styles are in, with distressed finishes and unique one of a kind vintage inspired designs.'

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!
