2026 Spring and Summer Design Trends – Part 2
Alright, Part 2 is where things get a little louder, a little moodier, and a lot more intentional. If Part 1 was soft, layered, and whispering “I summer in the south of France,” this one is walking in, flipping on a dramatic light, and saying “yes, I meant to do that.”
2026 Spring and Summer Design Trends – Part 1
In a world where our news feeds are filled with turmoil happening around the world and we are constantly questioning what is real and what is fake, people are craving comfort, familiarity, and security now more than ever.
Spaces that calm your nervous system and help you recharge after a long day of staying hyper vigilant are on the rise and these Spring/Summer 2026 interior design trends echo these sentiments with the use of grounding materials, nostalgic treasures and playful details.
The 25 Best Easter & Spring Nails
Spring has entered the chat. The birds are chirping, pollen is plotting against us, and suddenly we all want nails that look like a pastel candy aisle exploded in the best possible way. Easter and Spring nails are not about subtlety — they’re about optimism, color, and a tiny bit of chaos… but curated chaos. Obviously.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
