Homes & Gardens - 9 Rooms That Prove Color Drenching Makes Smaller Spaces Look Bigger

Thank you Emily Moorman and Homes & Gardens for including me in this article on color drenching!

'Color drenching is a great way to quickly expand the feeling of a space,' says Nadia. 'In this project, we chose a custom wallcovering for the ceiling to get the color-drenching look with a unique blend of wallpaper, paint, and furniture. The sofa and rug carry the color throughout the room making it feel cohesive and elevated.'

Thank you to Better Homes & Gardens and Colleen Sullivan for featuring me in 'The Absolute Coziest Bedroom Trends to Expect in 2025.' The bedroom is where each day begins and ends—a space that should be as restful as it is inspiring.

Real Simple - 14 Decor Trends Going Out of Style for 2025—and What to Choose Instead

Thank you Real Simple and Hannah Baker, for including me in your 2025 decor trends piece! I am excited to share four inspirations for giving your space a fresh new look in the year ahead.

Here are a few excerpts from the piece:

According to Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design, round rugs are on the way out. Instead, try something a little more unique, she says. "Rugs of all shapes and sizes, and especially custom-designed rugs specifically for your room, are on the rise. Think oblongs, infinity loops, animal shapes, and other less traditional options."

All new everything doesn't quite have the same charm as mixing things up. Instead, Watts suggests upcycling older pieces by renewing antique furniture, using old items in new ways (for example, a thoroughly cleaned vintage ashtray as a catchall), and recovering upholstered pieces with special vintage fabrics.

"Let’s face it, we spend a lot of time in our kitchens. Your kitchen is the heart of the home, so make sure it’s not boring. Mixing materials is in for 2025, think color mixing, material mixing, and metal mixing!"

Thank you, Homes & Gardens and Emily Moorman, for including me in your article on 2025's trending neutrals!

Martha Stewart - 16 Ways to Decorate With Bold Colors

Thank you to Martha Stewart and Heather Bien for featuring me in this piece on embracing bold colors!

Once you've gone bold, keep going. In this room, the vivid peacock teal doesn't stop with the walls; it extends to the sofa, the rug, and the ceiling. "By incorporating two shades that work well with the wall color, we brought the hue from the walls up to the ceiling, effectively enveloping the space," says Nadia Watts

"Start with a multicolored rug and play off the wall with the floor by selecting a bold color from the rug for the walls," says Watts. "Being a little unexpected will create a powerful result."

Homes & Gardens - Must-try paint colors in 2025

Grateful to be featured in Homes & Gardens - Thank you to Emily Moorman for including me in her piece on 2025's must-try 'in-between' paint shades!

'I have always been drawn to “in-between” colors and Benjamin Moore’s Stained Glass is the perfect in-between color. It just so happens that my two favorite colors are green and blue and Stained Glass is the ideal combination of the two.'

'The gemstone teal feels luxurious and elevated, and the muted tone brings it down to earth and allows it to work well with an array of other colors; bold and impactful while also being serene. A bit green, a bit blue, it’s the right combination for any style.’

It's time to discuss trends for the upcoming year! Thank you House Beautiful and Kate McGregor for asking our expert advice for trends we will continue to see in 2025.

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
