2026 Design Forecast: Nine Styles to Watch

Design today is no longer about choosing a lane, but about mastering a thoughtful balance. This year’s forecast is not a list of what’s “in” or “out.” It’s an exploration of nine ways design is evolving and why.

At the center of it all is a philosophy I call “Refined Layering”. It’s a way of designing that blends warmth and restraint, history and innovation, craft and comfort.

Vincent and I are often seen side by side, but it Vincent and I are often seen side by side, but it is not often that we truly get to work together—which makes this moment especially meaningful! This year, we are honored to serve as Co-Chairs of this year’s 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥, becoming the first couple to host this incredible evening supporting the Crocker Art Museum (@crockerart). For us, it’s a story about local love—and about giving back to the community that has shaped so much of our lives and careers.  The conversation begins now with sponsorship opportunities and auction item donations available through September! Event tickets will go on sale this summer—we cannot wait to gather friends, supporters, and art lovers for a beautiful evening celebrating creativity, generosity, and the power of our community 🖼️  #CrockerBall #SacramentoArts #ArtOfIllumination
Behind every unforgettable exhibit is a thousand t Behind every unforgettable exhibit is a thousand tiny design decisions. ✨  Designer Dialogues | Episode One takes you inside the award-winning Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry exhibit at KBIS 2026, where thoughtful details, craftsmanship, and storytelling came together to create a space that truly resonated with the design community.  From layered materials to the intentional flow of the booth, I’m sharing the thinking behind the design—and the small choices that ultimately made the biggest impact.  I’d love to know: What detail caught your eye first?  #DesignerDialogues #KBIS2026 #PlainAndFancy #BoothDesign #KitchenAndBathIndustry DesignDetails TradeShowDesign InteriorDesigners DesignCommunity
Nothing energizes me more than seeing an idea move Nothing energizes me more than seeing an idea move from sketch to installation ✨ Reflecting on our time at the @intlbuildersshow , it was incredibly rewarding to see the full @feeneyinc x Kerrie Kelly LaserCut Collection on display—a licensed collection we designed and developed hand-in-hand with Feeney Inc.!  Even more exciting? Watching designers begin to specify these patterns and bring them into their own projects. That’s when you know a collection is truly working—it moves beyond the booth and into the real world. (I’m looking at you @rmd_designs @ @john_cialone! 😉)  Licensed collections are one of my favorite ways to collaborate with brands—translating designer concepts into something tangible that lives on in the real world. And this is just the beginning–installations are starting to roll in, and I can’t wait to share what’s next.  #LicensedDesign #DesignCollaboration #IBSShow #InteriorDesign
