Ambassador Report: What We’re Currently Loving…

This week we asked our 2021 WNWN Ambassadors about what they are currently most excited about when it comes to design today. We love the way our Ambassadors are re-thinking the norm and re-looking at color!

What are you most excited about in

design right now?

 

Rachel Cannon_Square

“I think we're seeing a shift towards normalizing personal, intimate spaces. We've been talking about Quiet Rooms for a little over two years now, and clients are coming to us asking us to create them for them. The open floor plan, and all it connotes (chaos, noise, a hectic lifestyle) is passe, and clients are ready for peace and quiet and some alone time.” – Rachel Cannon, @rclinteriors

Nina Cooke John_Square

“I'm usually a minimalist but I'm loving adding more and more texture even if I'm not a total maximalist.” – Nina Cooke-John, @ninacookejohnc

Charlie Ferrer_Square

“The growing consciousness around the value of design at home.” – Charlie Ferrer, @ferrer.co

Arianne Bellizaire_Square

“I'm excited to see more COLOR! No more neutral on neutral just for the sake of following that trend.” – Arianne Bellizaire, @ariannebellizaireinteriors

Zoe Feldman_Square

“I am loving how homes are feeling truly loved in. I’m loving layered, collected spaces filled with primitive objects, living metals, warm woods and colors, comfortable fabrics, soft shapes. The imperfect is being embraced. Old world techniques are in high demand. Spaces are feeling classic while still Chic and not overdone.” – Zoe Feldman, @zoefeldmandesign

Anelle Gandelman_Square

“The fact that clients are becoming more excited about expressing their personal style than following a specific trend.” – Anelle Gandelman, @alistinteriors

Amber Guyton_Square

“The spike in housing and helping make cookie-cutter new construction more curated with more character.” – Amber Guyton, @blessedlittlebungalow

Charlotte Lucas_Square

“Re-inventing the way we do things! The world seems to be backordered at the moment, and I refuse to fall into that hole. I want to not only keep up the momentum of our work but create new and inventive ways to make our work better than ever and continue to exceed clients' expectations. It's uncomfortable to change and evolve but the more I push myself to do just that, the more I grow and never look back at the old ways!” – Charlotte Lucas, @charlottehlucas

Letecia Haywood_Square

"I'm excited that design is getting back to the artisan's point of view. Hand-made, unique items with a backstory resonate with designers and clients alike." - Letecia Ellis Haywood, @letecia.ellis.haywood

Erin Shakoor_Square

"COLOR! No matter the color. We have been purveyors of saturated color for 20+ years and its finally catching fire. That is thrilling to witness and see how designers and end-users are welcoming and embracing it." - Erin Shakoor, @shakoor_interiors

Noz Nozawa_Square

"I'm loving that there's this renewed interest in personalizing one's space, in making it feel less like "what I've seen before" and more "how I want my home, restaurant, office... to feel." That interest is manifesting in more daring combinations, more nuanced mixes of sources, and I am here for all of it!" - Noz Nozawa, @noznozawa

Chad Graci_Square

"I'm really excited that my clients have moved on from gray and are also embracing more color and traditional wood finishes for cabinetry." - Chad Graci, @graciinteriors
