SIGHTLINES: Milan Design Week 2026

Has Wellness Killed Color—or Simply Refined It?

Arriving at Salone this year, we expected to be swept up in color.
Instead, we found ourselves immersed in something more powerful.

The conversation has shifted. Rather than bold hues commanding attention, it’s the nuance of materiality, the layering of texture, and the presence of ritual that are defining how spaces are experienced. Materiality is no longer supporting the story—it is the story.

Here’s our biggest takeaway from @sherwinwilliams Here’s our biggest takeaway from @sherwinwilliams 2027 ColorMix Forecast: We’re no longer choosing colors simply because they’re beautiful — we’re choosing them because of how they make us feel. 🎨  #ICYMI: We sharing our thoughts on this approach to the wild world of color in @swdesignpros’s July STIR — link in bio 🔗  #sherwinwilliamspaint #2027colormix #interiordesign #colortrends
Have you ever painted a room only to realize the c Have you ever painted a room only to realize the color wasn’t what you imagined once it was on the wall? 👀  There’s a reason designers never choose paint from just a small swatch alone. 🎨 Color is one of the most transformative decisions you make in a home, but it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong. The same paint can feel warm in the morning, cool in the afternoon, and completely different once it’s paired with cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and the light in your space.  That’s why we love working with @Samplize. Their peel-and-stick paint samples make it easy to move color throughout your home, see it in changing light, and understand how it truly lives before making the commitment. It’s a simple step that can save a lot of second-guessing later 🤔  If you’re planning a renovation—or even just refreshing a room—this is one of those designer tricks that’s worth stealing.  #InteriorDesign #ColorConfidence #PaintSelection #HomeRenovation #Samplize
A floor plan can look perfect on paper… until you A floor plan can look perfect on paper… until you walk it. 👣✨  I recently experienced @WalkYourPlans in Sacramento, and it completely changed how I see a space. Walking through a home, office or commercial project at full scale before construction begins helps you test layouts, spot opportunities, and make confident decisions—before the build.  A picture may be worth a thousand words, but walking your future project? That’s a game changer.  Would you walk your plans before building?
