Home bars were once a luxury, found in only the most extravagant of houses. Though their look may vary, areas of the home that turn entertaining into a destination, like coffee stations and bars, are increasingly prioritized by homeowners to make their houses into sites of experience. Khloé Kardashian knows exactly how it's done.

The socialite's home bar is one of the most striking features of her custom-built Hidden Hills home. Designed by Clements Design and Waldo Fernandez, the elegant entertaining space exudes pure luxury and light. It features tall marble shelves for glassware, a narrow window for natural light, and arches that blend effortlessly with the rest of the room, creating a conversation with the house. It embodies the philosophy homeowners are increasingly embracing, where the home is a jumping-off point for hosting.

Whether you're designing a small home bar or a full-blown hotel-level escape, Khloé's look is worthwhile inspiration.

With Google data showing that searches for ‘home bar design’ have surged by 80%, bars like Khloé's are emerging as a major interior design trend. To help you tap in, Homes & Gardens started by curating an edit of items inspired by those we see in Khloé's bar. Then, we spoke with design experts about how they've seen the approach to bars evolve, and how anyone can emulate it.

Recreate Khloé's Look at Home

Laura Townsend, Design Manager at Magnet, calls this shift towards entertaining the rise of the ‘Ritual Kitchen,' whereby homeowners are creating dedicated zones for coffee and wine.

This shift is in part due to budgetary constraints, where people are being more intentional with their space at home. Laura states: 'With handcrafted coffees regularly costing more than £4 ($6) and cocktails often exceeding £10 ($14), recreating those experiences at home can quickly become an investment that pays for itself.'

Furthermore, as Khloe's bar demonstrates, people are more interested in bespoke experiences, and at-home entertaining caters to this customization. 'Entertaining at home allows you to curate every detail, from the materials and lighting to the color palette and styling, creating a space that feels uniquely yours, whether your aesthetic leans towards understated minimalism or bold, Art Deco-inspired design,' explains Laura.

The form your home bar or coffee station takes can also be customized based on available space. Laura advises: 'For those with smaller kitchens, or who favour versatility, a standalone cabinet, portable bar cart or trolley offers a stylishly flexible solution, where you can tuck them away behind a curtain or “skirt”.'

Ritual and experience are a huge part of how we live in our homes, and our design should reflect this. If you like to entertain, a fabulous home bar is a great place to start.

At a glance, Joanna Gaines's glasshouse looks entirely conventional. Set on her farm in Waco, Texas, the vintage structure comprises brick flooring, climbing greenery framing the ironwork, and terra-cotta pots alongside her chickens. However, with the addition of a wooden table, the designer has tapped into a trend that I've increasingly observed among celebrities: She's created a space for entertaining.

Most greenhouses are treated as purely utilitarian outposts – dedicated strictly to planting and growing. However, just as David and Victoria Beckham did on their Cotswolds estate, Joanna turned her space into an extension of her dining room. As a result, we're rethinking how we use our own garden spaces.

And while it remains unclear whether Joanna has actually hosted dinner parties inside her greenhouse, the presence of the antique table is inspiration enough.

As interior designers explain, Joanna's space prompts a shift in perspective. It suggests that a greenhouse can serve just as easily for hospitality as it does as a nursery for plants.

'What makes this greenhouse so compelling isn’t simply that it’s filled with plants, but that it was designed to be lived in,' says designer Nina Lichtenstein. 'The addition of a table transforms it from a functional growing space into an extension of the home, creating a destination for gathering, conversation, entertaining, and quiet reflection.'

By bringing lifestyle elements out into her garden, Joanna encourages us to think about how we use spaces that are additional to our main home. We can't all have a glasshouse as spacious as hers, but we can still use smaller structures to host more intimate gatherings, even if it's just tea for two.

'Surrounded by natural light, lush greenery, and the rhythms of the seasons, even an ordinary meal or cup of coffee becomes a restorative experience,' Nina adds. 'It’s a beautiful example of biophilic garden design, where nature isn’t just something we admire through a window, but something we immerse ourselves in, allowing the space to nourish relationships, support well-being, and encourage us to slow down and savor the moment.'

The greenhouse stands as a celebration of Joanna’s design philosophy. She's taken a traditionally functional room and filled it with character and a reason to entertain in an extraordinary way.

In 1971, John Lennon and Yoko Ono resided at Tittenhurst Park, a 72-acre Georgian estate located in Berkshire, South East England. While the property is widely celebrated as the backdrop for the Imagine album, its interiors, or more specifically, its shelving, delivered a masterclass in architectural practicality.

Chief among its design successes was the estate's custom library: An installation of white built-in shelving that utilized every available inch of vertical storage space.

Rather than relying on freestanding bookshelves that leave underutilized gaps above, the shelving was fitted directly against the wall, stretching upward to meet the crown molding.

The unit framed adjacent doorways seamlessly, creating deep, accessible storage for John's (inevitable) extensive collection of vinyls and books without taking up valuable floor space. It remains a prime case study in how bespoke joinery can convert dead space into something functional.

Shop the Lennon-Inspired Shelving Edit

These design principles date back to 1971, but that doesn't make them any less formative to our storage ideas today. In fact, as experts explain, leveraging full wall height is one of the most effective ways to expand functional square footage and refine a room's flow.

'One of the things I love most about design is turning challenges into opportunities. As both a designer and a realtor, I know how much value clever design adds to a home, not just in resale value but also in day-to-day living. Especially in smaller houses or apartments, every inch counts. One of the most common mistakes I see is ignoring vertical space,' comments Eric Bramlett, the owner of Bramlett Real Estate.

'Often, people pack drawers and stuff cabinets, but they forget that there’s often a whole wall’s worth of room just waiting to be used.'

Another significant benefit of following John's example is improved organization.

'When everything has its place, you don’t waste time digging through drawers or shifting things around to find what you need. It streamlines your routine. Plus, it just feels good to walk into a space that works for you, instead of against you,' Eric says.

'If you’re struggling with a cramped or cluttered space, take a look at your walls; there’s probably a lot more space there than you realize.'

At Tittenhurst Park, combining deep lower bays for record albums with higher tiers accessed via a step ladder proved that high-density storage can look effortless. When built-ins are designed to integrate directly with a room's shape and size, it continues to change everything, even 55 years on.

Scent is a very important element of interior design. Fragrances introduced through diffusers, candles, and room sprays can alter a room's mood and energy and paint a picture of the people who live there. That's why Role Model swears by a home fragrance that is creative and bright: Salt & Stone's Bergamot and Hinoki Candle.

The singer recently announced a partnership with the Gen-Z-darling brand, revealing his picks for the best candle and bodycare in the process.

From Santal & Vetiver deodorant to Black Rose & Oud Body Mist, Tucker Pillsbury is practically a walking signature scent. His selection of fragrances highlights how, just like you would layer smells on your body or pick them for a specific mood, it's possible to do the same in your home.

For instance, the Bergamot notes in Role Model's candle pick are favored among home fragrance aficionados for their impacts on brain function.

Fragrance expert Charles Farris explains: 'Bergamot offers a unique combination of freshness and warmth, a scent that can significantly improve the workspace atmosphere. Its distinctive citrus fragrance elevates mood and alleviates stress, creating an environment that fosters creativity and productivity.'

Combined with the woody notes of hinoki, Role Model's pick is even more complex and stimulating than traditional mood-boosting aromas like bergamot might be on their own.

If you work from home and are looking for a fragrance to improve your productivity, Role Model's choice is a great pick. Charles states: 'Bergamot sets the stage for enhanced problem-solving and decision-making skills through the power of theta waves in the brain, which are vital for any professional setting.'

These benefits are reminiscent of the way using certain colors in our home may impact our moods or sleep, coming together to transform our experience of the design. It turns home into a multi-dimensional sensory experience that goes beyond aesthetics.

Choosing the right scent for your home is highly influenced by personal preference, but knowing the picks of people we admire never hurts. Here are some of the wonderful-smelling candles that a few of our favorite celebrities use in their own homes.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes' estate in Belton, Missouri, has never felt traditional. However, while its interiors always felt architecturally modern and sleekly designed, the patio is where you should be taking notes for 2027.

On their turf-grid patio, large-format concrete pavers are arranged in a geometric layout separated by rows of green. The result is incredibly high-contrast. It pairs beautifully with the home's glass facade and the surrounding grounds, laying the groundwork for what is set to be a leading hardscaping trend in 2027.

'The turf-grid layout pays homage to a significant evolution in how we approach modern garden and landscape design,' says Tenielle Jordison, Gardens Content Editor at Homes & Gardens, who always has her eye on upcoming garden trends.

'For years, high-end patios have relied on monolithic slabs of stone or concrete, which often felt cold and visually detached from the lawn. However, by interrupting solid pavers with grass, Patrick and Brittany have demonstrated how to soften heavy structural elements while keeping a contemporary edge.'

Shop the Modern Patio Edit

Alongside its regimented, architectural nature, Tenielle explains that the 'grass-ribbon technique' will elevate this aesthetic further for the year ahead.

'As we look toward 2027, this same grass-ribbon technique will surely define luxury outdoor spaces. Beyond its graphic aesthetic, the design provides distinct practical benefits, improving natural water drainage and reducing surface heat retention compared to traditional stone,' she says.

'It offers a tailored, resort-level framework that brings the feeling of modern architecture outdoors. It's a reminder of just how stunning concrete can be.'

While Patrick and Brittany have acres to experiment with, their look is just as replicable in small gardens. In such compact spaces, the secret is adjusting the proportion of paver to greenery.

Using fewer, larger-format slabs framed by tight turf ribbons will draw your eye outward along the diagonal lines. This should trick the eye into perceiving more space while maintaining the same sleek feeling as their estate.

No matter your thoughts on such a regimented design, one thing is clear – Patrick Mahomes just set the new gold standard for high-end patio hardscaping.

Even the most recognizable design icons have their limits. For decades, the IKEA BILLY bookcase has been a cult-favorite presence in homes, yet interior designer Bobby Berk has put the classic on his 'skip list'.

While flat-pack storage serves a practical purpose, Bobby has suggested that overly familiar staples can easily flatten a room, depriving a space of character and depth.

In a recent edit published on his blog, the Queer Eye designer said that creating a sophisticated home requires looking past viral trends. Rather than relying on conventional favorites, Bobby highlights the IKEA pieces that will not date – offering tactile richness and tailored silhouettes. His top picks include the DEJSA Table Lamp and FRÖSET Chair, both of which are available at IKEA. They're among the best IKEA pieces that look so much more expensive than they are.

Ahead – nine Bobby-approved IKEA finds that he wants you to bring home.

Whenever anyone enters my studio apartment, I hear one remark: 'Have you actually read all of those?' While I will keep that answer at my discretion, the inspiration for how I style them is much less secret.

For every square foot I lack in my London home, there's a vertical inch working overtime. But turning a 1,000-book collection from a potential hazard into a deliberate curated focal point requires inspiration from a woman responsible for one of the most celebrated design aesthetics of a generation: Nancy Meyers.

In Nancy's Brentwood home, designed by Mark D. Sikes, her bookshelves are less of a conventional storage idea and more of an architectural anchor.

Here, floor-to-ceiling built-ins with warm lighting and curated symmetry turn hundreds of her paperbacks into a setting that wouldn't look out of place in her filmography.

Shop the Nancy Meyers-Inspired Edit

Alongside her rattan seating and textured lighting (what else could I hope for in her home?), Nancy has created a reading nook that proves the power of vertical storage. It's exactly the space I want to create in my apartment, which, despite its smaller floor plan, is somehow replicable.

The key to making built-in shelving feel like an intentional sanctuary rather than an overwhelming wall of paper is to give the space context – a technique Nancy masters by pairing her shelves with task lighting and seating.

Kris Manalo, the creative lead at Atkin & Thyme, agrees that building a dedicated 'library' zone is as much about the surroundings as it is about the books:

'With the advent of e-books, any books we purchase are likely to be ones we want to have on show, and having a “library” area is definitely an aspirational trend. That doesn’t mean that bookcases are a thing of the past; far from it, they are just now more multi-functional,' she says.

'Keeping a bookcase and/or storage unit more open is a great way to diffuse light into an area and can be used for synergetic accessories and ornaments as well as books. Incorporating a seating area with table and light gives the “library” area context.'

Beyond the armchair and lamp (similar to this beautiful alternative from Wayfair), following Nancy's style comes down to how you arrange the shelves themselves. Instead of lining up paperbacks in stiff, uniform rows, Kris recommends playing with shape, height, and breathing room – much as I do in my apartment.

'Play with different heights for a dynamic composition. Books make a terrific accessory because you can display them at a number of levels just by laying them flat, upright, or slanted at an angle; tiered vases or bottles are another good way to do this,' Kris explains.

'For softness, add spherical and curved objects like bowls, jugs, or plants under cloches. These will contrast beautifully against the lines of your unit and relax the eye. Give each section room to breathe; over-styled shelves run the risk of losing their artistic charm. Negative space is positive; it brings an airy and effortless feel to the overall formation.'

Whether I’ve actually finished every page will remain off the record – but making a 1,000-book collection look this effortlessly cinematic is one secret I'm happy to give away.

On the third track of her hotly anticipated album, 'Music, Fashion, Film,' Charli XCX describes a complicated relationship with materialism, in which a whole new life is available to anyone who can purchase the trappings. According to 'Card Declined,' the right shoes, handbags, and jewelry are enough to build a 'whole backstory' – but Charli doesn't stop there. To overhaul your personality, you'll also need the right couch. Charli's pick? The Maj Jong Sofa.

Though we don't want to endorse the idea that consumerism is the ticket to the dream life, if there is one furniture piece that could totally transform your outlook, it might be the Mah Jong Sofa. Designed by Hans Hopfer in 1971 for the French furniture house Roche Bobois, it is a pioneer of elevated bohemian style.

In the '70s, the Maj Jong sofa was revolutionary for its low profile and modular design – which offers endless configuration possibilities – and remains a favorite among the design set. To name a few, it features in the homes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Gigi Hadid, and Drake.

Part of how the Mah Jong sofa has remained relevant is by refusing to be static. Over the years, it has been continually reinvented through collaborations with leading fashion names such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenzo Takada, and Missoni. It's no wonder Charli is interested.

'Our greatest strength lies in combining creative boldness with artisanal tradition,' explains Eric Amourdedieu, Executive Director at Roche Bobois.

'We create furniture that is both timeless and contemporary, embodying the French art de vivre. Our collaborations with internationally renowned designers, artists, and artisans enable us to produce exclusive collections that transcend fleeting trends and embrace a sustainable future.'

As evidenced by the diversity of the styles of the designers they've worked with, and the different ways it can be arranged, the timeless appeal of the Mah Jong as a living room sofa comes from its versatility. It starts with three basic elements that can be combined or stacked together.

Eric explains: 'Our clients appreciate the extensive customization options, the richness of the materials, and the wide variety of styles we offer. They value our ability to create products that combine beauty and functionality while remaining true to authenticity and craftsmanship. At Roche Bobois, every piece of furniture tells a story—one of innovative yet timeless design created to enhance everyday living. Above all, we design furniture for living, not simply furniture to admire.

Tastemakers' ongoing love affair with the Mah Jong sofa also comes from its rich history. Hans Hopfner was a German painter, sculptor, and designer. In 1971, his concept of furniture as a 'seating landscape' was considered extremely avant-garde, and the rebellious spirit of the sofa persists to this day. Rather than simply a piece of unexpected living room seating, investing in a Mah Jong sofa is a signal of free-spirited eccentricity.

If you want to get the look Charli talks about on 'Music, Fashion, Film,' you have a few options. You can book an appointment in-store to purchase a Mah Jong sofa directly from Roche Bobois, purchase one secondhand from a trust-worthy retailer like 1stDibs, or shop low modular sofas from other sources for a lookalike style. Here are our editors' picks.

There are some rooms built for socializing – and their secret lies in the strategic placement of furniture. Known in the industry as 'conversational seating,' this arrangement does precisely what the name suggests. Better yet, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have provided us with the perfect blueprint to follow.

Mark and Kelly's media room, designed by William Sofield in their Upper East Side, New York City townhouse, proves that a room built for relaxation doesn't have to sacrifice style. Anchored by a bold, black leather L-shaped sectional, the space uses clever spatial layout to make a grand room feel deeply personal.

According to Alex Bridgman, the CEO of Bridgman, this specific seating layout is a game-changer for social gathering spaces.

'V or L-shaped corner living room sofas are ideal for large living rooms in need of lots of seating. Due to their social nature, sofas of this configuration offer more intimacy than the traditional 2/3-seater couch and armchair(s) layout,' he says.

Rather than scattering standalone chairs around a central couch (a traditional setup that can feel disjointed or stiff), Kelly and Mark’s continuous sectional grounds the corner of the room. It pulls guests together into an inviting semicircle, encouraging organic interaction.

'As seen on talk shows, they encourage a more casual, conversational vibe which is exactly what we all want in our living rooms and especially rooms of the play, movie or sitting variety which, by nature, are supposed to be very laidback,' Alex says.

As celebrated morning show hosts, Mark and Kelly know how to drive dialogue. Applying that same host-and-guest geometry to a home lounge removes rigid boundaries, creating a fluid dynamic perfect for entertaining.

'It allows you and your guests to feel equal in conversation, with only one best seat in the house – the one that everyone is sitting on.'

By eliminating seating hierarchy – where one person gets the single 'prime' spot while others are pushed to accent chairs – the continuous sectional makes everything equal. Everyone shares the same vantage point, ensuring every guest feels just as they would on their show.

There are mid-century modern jewels, and then there's Dakota Johnson's home, which continues to set the standard. Hidden on a West Hollywood cul-de-sac, Dakota's home dates back to 1947, designed by celebrated architect Carl Maston. In 2016, Pierce & Ward turned it into a masterclass in architectural harmony.

The mid-century modern living room, particularly, relies on timber paneling, exposed brick, and low-profile silhouettes that ground the space while keeping sightlines clear. But it is the doorless aesthetic that truly sets the space apart.

Rather than enclosing the interior behind heavy frames, expansive banks of floor-to-ceiling glass and oversized glass doors erase the traditional boundary between indoors and out. The well-placed greenery and poolside terrace become a direct visual continuation of the living room, allowing light and foliage to filter deep into the space.

Creating this level of visual flow comes down to treating your garden as an intentional continuation of your interior floor plan – a philosophy that design experts say is simple to replicate.

Shop the Dakota Johnson X Brown Living Room Edit

Interior designer Holly Light explains that true indoor-outdoor living is about framing nature rather than overwhelming a room with it.

'Creating a strong connection between indoors and outdoors isn't about filling a room with plants; it's about designing a space that feels like a natural extension of the landscape beyond the windows,' she says. 'View it as another layer of your design. If you have mature trees, rolling countryside or a beautifully planted garden, frame these with considered furniture placements rather than blocking them with bulky pieces or heavy curtains.'

This rule is evident in Dakota’s layout, where low caramel-velvet sofas and low coffee tables keep sightlines entirely clear to the garden beyond. To further soften that threshold, placing easy indoor plants right alongside expansive glass helps pull the outdoors in.

'Introducing taller indoor trees such as an olive [like this one from Fast Growing Trees] or multi-stem ficus close to windows helps to soften the transition between inside and outside,' Holly notes. 'If you're prone to killing house plants, then there are some great faux options available now. The key here is choosing plants that complement the scale of the room rather than overpower it.'

Material choices are equally vital when blurring boundaries. In Dakota’s home, rich timber walls, exposed brick, and warm textiles mirror the natural world outside – an approach Holly highlights as essential for visual continuity.

'Materials play a huge role in the connection between indoor and outdoor,' Holly adds.

'Natural timber, linen, stone, and rattan create an organic palette that echoes the textures found outdoors. Limestone flooring can be a common stone to repeat indoors and outdoors, due to its light reflection and versatility, creating a seamless transition. Repeating similar colors inside that already exist in the garden helps create a seamless flow – think soft greens, earthy browns and warm neutrals; these are all a great starting point.'

Maine will always feel like home to me. Even after spending the last 5 years in a major city across the world, the towering pines, the call of a loon, and mist upon a mountain are as welcome as my mother's voice every time I re-enter the state where I spent every summer after age 10. Plus, I grew up in Connecticut. It goes without saying that I have strong feelings about New England design.

In my efforts to spend as much time as possible in Vacationland over the years, I've stayed in dozens of Airbnbs, friends' homes, and bed and breakfasts ranging from the charmingly rustic to the scarringly kitsch – but no space better captures Northeast style than Martha Stewart's Skylands pantry. Located in Seal Harbor, Maine, her Duncan-Candler-designed estate is a celebration of the surrounding natural world. Equal parts beautiful and functional (as is the New England way of life), Skylands is full of thoughtful features.

For instance, the pantry's glass cabinets, tambour construction, and deep rails capture a New England approach to kitchen storage, where high-brow hosting can be wheeled out at a moment's notice.

Beyond its gorgeous practicality, I find Martha's choice to alternate glass and closed cabinets perfectly encapsulates what I love about Maine style: it's beautiful, but doesn't take itself too seriously.

In her pantry, china plates, cups, display pieces, and gravy boats are on display in all of their glorious disarray. It feels traditional, yet effortlessly imperfect. Rather than picture-perfect aesthetics, it captures a lived-in beauty reflected by the plates on the counter and the mismatched pieces throughout the space.

Recreate Martha's Pantry at Home

Though it seems simple, the wood drenching in Martha's pantry is another detail that endears me to this space. The continuation of grain from the lower cabinets all the way to the ceiling draws the eye up, and gives the space an effortless connection to nature. This traditional style is a staple of many New England homes, and I'm excited to see it re-emerging as a major interior design trend this year.

To recreate Martha's approach to Maine style, I recommend starting by brainstorming how you can display your dishware collected over a lifetime. Think about pieces that you want to be out on display, and others that you would like to tuck away. Intentionality is essential to this method.

New England style is about lived-in warmth and welcoming luxury. By taking inspiration from properties where it's been done well, anyone can decorate like a local Mainer.

Minimalist design remains a timeless choice because it is chic, refined, and visually soothing. Whether you are styling a kitchen, bedroom, or living area, a clean aesthetic creates an airy sanctuary – perfect for capturing bright summer sunlight. In 2026, Justin and Hailey Bieber's modern living room stands out as one of the most sophisticated examples of minimalist living room design.

Their secret lies in pairing a quiet, neutral foundation with bold statement pieces. They balance lush potted plants – ideal for bringing vibrant seasonal greenery indoors – with the iconic Paulin Paulin Paulin Dune sofa – an iconic modular piece reminiscent of the '70s conversation pit trend.

Establishing a calm, neutral base is essential for a serene room, serving as a versatile canvas before you introduce dynamic accents.

Shop the Neutral Living Room Edit

'A neutral color palette is best suited to rooms you spend a lot of time in, such as a bedroom or living room, where relaxing tones are key to creating a happy space,' says Lisa Conway, marketing manager at heritage carpet company Brintons.

'Neutrals are versatile with the ability to provide a platform and set the scene. The texture of the carpet is key to preventing a neutral scheme from looking dull. An alternative flooring like wood or tiles can make a room feel stark and bare, whereas a soft woven wool carpet, layered with accessories in cashmere, mohair and linen will all work to soften a look and create an inviting scheme.'

In the Bieber's space, a smooth cream backdrop allows the surrounding furnishings to shine. While light linen layers keep the room feeling fresh for warm weather, subtle details – such as soft dusty curtains and a shell-effect wall sconce – gently draw the eye and add welcoming depth.

Adding an unexpected twist, a metallic silver bench (similar to this one from 1stDibs) rests beside the sofa. Its bulbous silhouette and gleaming finish reflect light beautifully, providing a playful contrast to the organic tones throughout the room. Meanwhile, the gray modular sofa anchors the space, balancing retro curves with contemporary elegance.

Their living room proves that even the most neutral living room can stay dynamic, comfortable, and seasonally versatile with the right blend of textures, shapes, and styles.

While the early 2010s were all about minimalism, 2026 prioritizes intention. Though clean, calming spaces with neutral colors are still popular, homeowners are now exploring how they can elevate these simple rooms with carefully chosen details. Often referred to as 'statement minimalism,' this trend embodies a shift from purely sparse rooms to rooms that incorporate clutter with thoughtfulness. Emma Roberts is an expert.

The actress's neutral kitchen is a masterclass in simplicity – smooth beige shaker walls, a wooden island, and tan curtains are oh-so soothing. However, Emma's design team at Pierce and Ward didn't stop there. Her charming Los Angeles home, which she refers to as her 'grown-up dollhouse', weaves in doses of color and character with a mix of glass and solid cabinets.

The closed kitchen cabinets provide minimalist storage, while the glass cabinet creates a window into Emma's colorful ceramics collection. It's the perfect marriage of simplicity and intention.

To dive more deeply into this new form of minimalism and how Emma Roberts taps into it, we have curated an edit of personality-led pieces inspired by those in her cabinets and on her countertops. You will find ceramics, artwork, and storage containers hand-picked by our editors. Then, we spoke with Laura Townsend, Design Manager at Magnet, to better understand how 'statement minimalism' is shaping our kitchens. Let's dive in.

Recreate Emma's Look at Home

According to Laura, homeowners are embracing the statement minimalism trend by designing their kitchens around the way they live. This means keeping it simple, but adding personality through little rituals. For instance, in Emma's kitchen, the glass cabinets give us insight into her large collection of coffee mugs, highlighting her love of colorful ceramics and shedding light on a likely everyday coffee-drinking practice. In many homes, this prompts an investment in unique details.

'Driven by an interest in the smaller moments, slow living and romanticising everyday rituals, we're seeing more homeowners ask us to create bespoke spaces that allow them to unleash their inner barista or sommelier,' says Laura. Whether it's entertaining guests or carving out a moment of self-care, people are transforming their kitchens into more experiential spaces, with dedicated zones designed around the things they love.'

This might include an at home coffee bar, a display case for pottery, or a visible wine glass collection.

As we see in Emma Roberts kitchen, glass cabinets provide the perfect medium for showing off these personality-led elements.

Laura explains: 'One trend we are seeing is a demand for glass pantry cabinets, reflecting a shift towards more open, design-led kitchens. For those who have beautifully curated ceramics and glassware to show off, glass cabinets add that extra dash of personality to the space.'

Incorporating a mix of closed cabinets, as Emma has done, helps to keep the look understated. Laura advises: 'If you prefer a calmer, more streamlined aesthetic, concealed storage remains timeless, keeping surfaces clutter-free while allowing the overall design of the kitchen to take centre stage.'

Our homes should reflect our personalities, and agree with our everyday lives. Statement minimalism is an approach that encapsulates both of these needs within neutral, calming interiors.

Colombian-born singer Shakira is a global force with a property portfolio stretching from a private island in the Bahamas to a sprawling Miami mansion. However, it is her urban home in Barcelona, Catalonia, that serves as the ultimate trove of interior inspiration.

Shakira previously offered a glimpse into the sleek home she reportedly shared with her former husband, Gerard Piqué. While Barcelona is celebrated for its sun-soaked streets and vibrant palette – filled with colorful art galleries and striking Gaudí architecture – Shakira's residence leans into a surprisingly monotone aesthetic that offers a cool, tranquil retreat during hot Mediterranean summers.

The singer showcased her all-white living room after a studio session, and even under dim evening lighting, the neutral palette shines through alongside her impressive gymnastic skills. Debates over whether white and gray are falling out of fashion in 2026 continue to divide designers, but Shakira demonstrates the lasting appeal of these 'timeless' shades by layering her space in white paint, soft textiles, and matching accessories

Shop the Shakira-Inspired White Living Room Edit

The centerpiece of the space is a pure white living room sofa that sets the tone for the surrounding decor. Shakira pairs a white glass light fixture with an off-white cabinet and a similarly toned rug (like this one from Amazon), which adds warmth against the natural wooden floor.

Crisp white curtains dress the window and flow unconventionally around the walls and behind the TV, creating a cocooning, color-drenched atmosphere perfect for cozying up during chilly winter nights.

White is clearly a favorite in Shakira's interior design playbook. Her Barcelona living room is not her only monochromatic space; she also shared a serene white and cream bedroom featuring a large white bed, soft off-white drapery, and a vivid painting that adds contrast to the neutral backdrop.

Interior designer Jen Dallas supports this strategic injection of color and texture, noting that thoughtful styling keeps neutral palettes fresh throughout every season.

'White will always be in fashion. It is all about how you present the white that matters,' she says. 'I have clients that love the neutral feeling of a gray and/or white palette, and when done well, it can look amazing. You just have to pay attention to the other parts and pieces placed in the room using these colors so the room won’t feel too cold. When I design with all white or gray, I pay special attention to textures, whether it be a leather sofa, wood coffee table, or the texture of linen drapery.'

In Shakira's home, organic warmth comes from the rich wooden flooring in the living room and the artwork in the bedroom. As Dallas suggests, combining varied textures with soft natural light ensures an all-white design feels stylish and welcoming, whether in the bright glow of spring or the crisp chill of fall. It's a masterclass in decorating with neutrals in a way that will look just as good in a decade from now. Just as Shakira.

If you are a very design-led person, the phrase 'TV stand' might send a shiver down your spine. Historically, these furnishings have been led by function rather than aesthetics, creating a necessary but unappealing eyesore in our living rooms. Drew Barrymore is changing this with her brand-new Maurice TV stand from Walmart.

This gorgeous Japandi-style wooden piece combines the best of storage with style for just $218. With a sturdy warm cherry finish and a mix of open shelves and closed drawers, it's a beautiful option for displaying your personal effects, while keeping items like remotes tucked away.

Her Walmart brand, Beautiful, calls it 'the kind of furniture piece that makes staying organized feel easy.' Let's take a look at how Drew would style it.

The release of the gorgeous television stand coordinates perfect with the rise of the curated clutter trend, which proposes using your home as a display case for your memories and artwork. Whether its a collection of vases, gorgeous straw storage baskets, or handmade pottery sculptures, this wooden piece creates the perfect place to build out your personal museum. It helps to de-emphasize the televsion, keeping the focus on the design of the room.

There’s an architectural revolution taking place in celebrity gardens. The era of freeform pools is giving way to something far more disciplined – the lap pool – and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are the latest in a line of figures (think Alexandra Daddario and Dakota Johnson) who are following suit.

Set in their estate in Belton, Missouri (just south of Kansas City), the couple’s pool idea trades conventional curves for a cleaner geometric alternative. It’s a design choice made with wellness in mind – bridging athletic utility with luxury that rivals that of a private health resort.

Unlike traditonal designs, a lap pool's narrow silhouette can frame a lawn or fit alongside hardscaping without overpowering the landscape. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal, its popularity stems from its versatility.

If you're looking for a small backyard pool idea, this design fits into narrower settings, while adding a structural rhythm that’s just not as possible with its more conventional counterpart.

Shop Homes & Gardens' Lap Pool Area Edit

‘A lap pool adds another layer to the whole swimming pool experience by giving the mind and body a clear direction,’ says Kendall Maloof, LMFT, Clinical Director at Eagle Creek Recovery. ‘You swim to one end, turn around, and repeat. When someone feels mentally overloaded, that simple structure can provide a break from making decisions and thinking about several problems at once.’

Kendall points out that from a therapeutic lens, this linear movement brings attention back to the physical self – requiring focus on breathing, movement, and position in the water.

‘There is less room to replay an argument or worry about tomorrow when the mind is focused on completing the next length,’ he notes. ‘This does not mean that swimming removes the problem. It gives the nervous system a chance to settle so the person may return to the problem feeling less overwhelmed.’

While research on aquatic exercise suggests it reduces anxiety symptoms, Kendall clarifies that it shouldn't be framed as a replacement for professional mental health treatment. Rather, a lap pool appeals to homeowners who want their garden to support their daily health.

'A lap pool will not automatically heal mental health; it still requires maintenance, safe access, and regular use. But when integrated thoughtfully into daily life, it becomes a familiar, grounded sanctuary where the mind can briefly rest,' Kendall explains.

By prioritizing cleaner geometry over standard pool shapes, Patrick and Brittany have created a backyard that honors both high performance and restorative peace. It's no wonder it's a trend.

What happens when a timeless decorating staple meets a music icon? You get Paul McCartney's dining room gallery wall. We first highlighted the Beatles musician's curated frames a while back, and as we look at them in 2026, they remain as inspiring as ever.

This enduring charm comes as no surprise given the history of the design. Though a beloved feature in modern interiors, gallery walls date back to the 1670s as an official display format for the Académie des Beaux-Arts in France. Artworks were hung from floor to ceiling in tightly packed arrangements, much like the curated walls we admire today.

Over the centuries, the styles of art and photography displayed on these walls have evolved. Paul’s dining room features a mix of vibrant paintings and monochrome photographs that reflect his personal passions – making it a great inspiration for brightening up your own home this season. Rather than copying his exact artwork, use his approach as a guide to frame images that bring you joy.

Shop the McCartney-Inspired Gallery Wall Edit

Paul is in good company. Martin Waller, founder of the global design house Andrew Martin, swears by this technique, noting that a successful wall is 'both an art and a science.'

'A great gallery wall should feel as if it’s evolved over time, not been clinically measured into existence. There’s an alchemy to it – balancing shape, color, and story. Start with one anchor piece and build around it, allowing your instincts to guide you rather than a ruler. That said, a little structure goes a long way,' Waller says.

Knowing how high to hang pictures is essential when preparing a room for warm-weather entertaining, and investing in the right frames is just as crucial.

'Hang artwork at eye level or just above, and never underestimate the importance of framing; this is a cost you should never hold back on,' Waller advises.

'The right frame can transform a picture and is critical to the overall feel of the artwork. Create shapes and patterns with multiple pieces to form a gallery wall, remembering also to keep uniformity and structure in the final shape. If you have two portraits, face them towards each other as if they're having a conversation, and make themes like putting all your pictures of animals together, even if they're of different styles and eras. The important thing is to tell a story with your wall.'

When decorating with art, Paul McCartney's arrangement serves as an ideal blueprint for adding warmth and color before the next season arrives.

'Play with color by using all monochrome pieces, then one vividly colorful work in the middle. Don't be afraid to put very contemporary art in a traditional space, or vice versa; it is often the merging of seemingly incongruous styles that creates beauty through surprise,' Waller adds.

If there is one final lesson to take from Paul's display, it is that we should only frame pieces that truly speak to us. 'Only ever buy something you like. Art, above all else, should always be personal,' Waller says.

There is no better time in 2026 to start curating a personalized display in your dining room and beyond.

For too long, creams, beiges, and whites have stood as the most reliable decorating hues. While these tones are safe and, we admit, very beautiful, there remain other colors that are surprisingly as versatile. They just need a platform. One such example is the blue sofa in George and Amal Clooney’s former townhouse.

Located on Manhattan's SoHo, on Sullivan Street, the townhouse George and Amal rented during their stay in New York in the mid-2010s is a blueprint for softened industrial design (with exposed brickwork). Yet, rather than warming the high-ceilinged living area with conventional neutral, the space relies on a far more dramatic anchor: A dark blue living room sofa.

It is a styling choice that redefines standard neutral territory, demonstrating how a rich, saturated hue (similar to this beautiful sofa from Target) can offer all the versatility of ivory – but with far more architectural presence.

Shop the Edit

'Dark blue sofas are a design staple because they strike the perfect balance between timeless elegance and practical versatility,' explains Sergiu Tulbur, the head of product innovation and design at OPA Living. 'Unlike lighter neutrals, deep blue introduces richness and depth to a space while still acting as a surprisingly flexible base color.'

In George and Amal's living room, this flexibility has never felt quite so evident. The blue couch's curves ground the open-plan layout, giving the seating area a sense of intimacy against the industrial backdrop.

'One of its biggest advantages is longevity in style – navy and ink tones don’t date in the way trend-led colors can, meaning the piece continues to feel current for years,' Sergiu says. 'It also has a grounding effect in interiors, helping larger or open-plan rooms feel more cohesive, intentional yet fun.'

Rather than competing with the room's urban bones, the velvet upholstery bridges the gap between the raw architecture and more luxe comfort. It also pairs beautifully alongside the other textures, including the rug, like this chic option from Amber Interior Design.

'Styling-wise, dark blue works beautifully with warm metallics like brass or aged gold for a more elevated, luxurious feel,' Sergiu notes.

'For a softer, Scandi-inspired look, pair it with natural woods, oatmeal linens and muted greens. If you want contrast, crisp white walls or pale stone flooring make the sofa the focal point without overwhelming the room.'

The living room upholds this design formula effortlessly. However, beyond its aesthetics, there are functional benefits to choosing a darker anchor piece over a delicate off-white.

'It’s also one of the most forgiving upholstery choices for everyday living, hiding wear well while still feeling refined, which makes it ideal for family homes or high-traffic spaces,' Sergiu says.

It serves as proof that quiet luxury does not require timid colors. While the Clooneys have moved out, the space remains a reminder that a deep blue sofa remains the ultimate unsung hero.

Privacy planting can be more than just oversized hedges. Whatever your favorite garden style, it's possible to use the plants in a layered manner to create a green wall, from English country to French-inspired looks.

Mediterranean gardens have been one of the trendiest looks of 2026, but long before we were coveting the style on our Instagram feeds, Madonna was already tapping in.

Archival images of the Hollywood Hills home she lived in between 1996 and 2000 show a Spanish-style home adorned with plants perfect for an arid climate. Sky-reaching bushes and trees provide privacy, while small red flowers at the gate create a sense of ambiance.

The method of planting for privacy at Madonna's former home is effective because it combines design principles of layering with seclusion.

As aerial photos of Madonna's '90s home demonstrate, you can use this look on every part of your green space, including the backyard. We prefer a setup that keeps the space secluded while making it easy to entertain.

Mia Slawson, an in-house garden buyer at Laura James, advises: 'An olive tree [like this one from Fast Growing Trees], festoon lights [from Amazon], and a few well-placed candles or portable lamps do the rest of the work once the sun goes down. Cluster lighting at varying heights, festoon overhead, lanterns at ground level, candles at table height, to create depth rather than one flat wash of light. Olive and citrus trees in oversized terracotta pots are particularly effective near seating areas, as they bring height and structure without blocking sightlines across the garden.'

Plants are the easiest way to simultaneously elevate and privatize the outside of your home. Looking to celebrities who crave an escape from the busy world but also want to live in beautiful spaces is a great place to start for inspiration.

Shop The Mediterranean Privacy Planting Edit

To explore this striking combination, Homes & Gardens began by curating an edit of the best plants and tools for creating your own Mediterranean privacy look, inspired by the planting in Madonna's garden. Then, we spoke with experts about how they recommend bringing the style to any backyard.

To recreate Madonna's look, start by considering low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants. These varieties will be easy to care for and give that effortless look.

Emily Green, garden maintenance expert at Howarth Timber, states: 'Plants are essential to achieving an authentic Mediterranean feel. Drought-tolerant varieties with silvery foliage, aromatic scents and vibrant blooms add color, texture and character while thriving in sunny spots.'

If you want to turn your privacy planting Mediterranean, it's also essential that you add a bit of brick red clay. Pots are the easiest way to accomplish this.

'Terracotta pots are synonymous with Mediterranean gardens and offer an easy way to introduce warmth and character,' advises Emily. 'Grouping pots of varying sizes together also creates visual interest, while greenery softens hard landscaping and delivers a more welcoming look.'

Design people love small nooks because the bijou proportions offer space to explore and create bold vignettes that might be overwhleming in a larger room. Teeny alcoves to tiny breakfast areas and miniscule corners are the design-minded individual's playpen.

For a brilliant example, we're looking back in time to the home of the late great Valentino Garavani, the pioneering Italian fashion designer. Valentino had a great love for interiors, which he exhibited across his homes in London, Rome, and France - today, we're peeking inside his villa in Capri, Italy. A photoshoot from 1991 captures a gorgeous alcove that Valentino transformed into a fantasy jewelbox by adorning its arches with green floral wallpaper.

Inside the nook, Valentino decorated with floral fabric, Moroccan furniture with mother-of-pearl inlay, and a unique collection of antique pieces. It's a study in elevating a small space into something truly special.

Recreate Valentino's Look at Home

If you want to turn a nook into a design-led celebration, you will need lots of patterns and pieces from a range of time periods and styles. Here is our edit for capturing the look, inspired by Valentino's home.

You may have been told that small spaces should always be decorated in whites and creams to make them look larger - but Valentino's alcove proves that size doesn't always need to be the goal. Sometimes celebrating the tininess of a space with an overdose of color and pattern is the chicest option.

Design expert Shelley Cochrane explains: 'When it comes to color, it’s true that neutrals will open up the room and create the illusion of more space, but they’re not your only color option. I’d advise leaning into the petite nature of the living room and color-drenching the entire space in a deep and dramatic hue instead. This draws the walls and ceiling in cocoon-style to create a living room that feels cozy, welcoming and inviting.'

Valentino's space also shows that decorating with florals can be incredibly versatile; they can be customized based on how you want the space the area to look. Dita Miska, Designer at Fancy Walls, recommends incorporating florals into the home by first asking, 'What mood am I looking to create?'

She explains: 'For example, if it's a sense of calm you're after, a light, small-scale pattern will work the best. If you’re looking to create a sense of boldness, then opt for larger patterns and daring, vibrant colors.'

Turning back to these icons of design can give insight into the best ways to transform our homes in the future.

In 1982, Sting was at the height of his success with The Police. However, as the band continued its ascent to global recognition, Gordon Sumner's home told a notably more relaxed story.

Located on Frognal in Hampstead, North London, Sting's 18th-century Georgian home boasted eclectic interiors that reflected its rich history. The property, originally built as a public house, had served as the residence of the Russian prima ballerina Tamara Karsavina before Sting purchased it in June 1980.

In a series of intimate portraits by photographer Ian Cook, Sting is seen enjoying his home with his cat. The living room in the backdrop is a masterclass in a more relaxed type of sophistication. It's rooted in lived-in comfort – an aesthetic that, designers say, is more relevant than ever in 2026.

Architecturally, Sting's space respects the building’s Georgian bones, complete with lofty ceilings and sash windows. The interiors feel just as historic. Mismatched textiles, worn leather, vintage accessories, and soft upholstery overlap naturally. Every object appears to have arrived with a purpose.

Today, as designers increasingly look beyond sterile minimalism and aim to make homes feel older, Sting’s room feels remarkably current. It stands as a blueprint for 'slow design' – a reminder that a room gains its character through the items that are deeply personal.

Hayley Fellows-Prior, an interior designer and founder of Atelier 44, explains that the desire for homes with history is driving how we think about modern spaces today.

'There is something about a lived-in home that feels unmistakably nostalgic,' she says.

'Patterned curtains, mismatched cushions and decorating with antiques can remind us of the homes we grew up visiting, perhaps the chair your grandparents always sat in, the cabinet you explored as a child.'

She continues: 'In a technology-led world, we are craving interiors that make us feel something. A lived-in home can offer comfort, familiarity, and a sense of safety that a perfectly styled or trend-led room often cannot. These homes do not just look attractive; they hold memories and tell you something about the people who live there.'

Sting's home captures that feeling perfectly. The interiors feel shaped by his personal style – a quality that is ever more desirable.

'The growing appreciation for eclectic and personal interiors is a quiet rebellion against comparison culture. We are constantly shown what our homes should look like, what everyone else is buying, and which trend we should adopt next,' Hayley says. 'Choosing to step away from that and fill your home only with objects that feel authentic to you can be incredibly freeing.'

The sentiment is one that's reflected in Sting's portraits. Instead of matching furniture or a single design style, the interiors feel layered over time, with pieces that suggest a life well lived rather than a room decorated overnight.

'The most interesting homes are rarely created by buying everything at once. They evolve slowly, with pieces collected over time. That natural layering is what gives a room depth, character, and soul. A lived-in interior does not need to be perfect; it needs to feel personal.'

Long before 'slow design' had a name, Sting's home embodied the idea beautifully. Four decades on, we've never felt so inspired.

Gardening happens in the ground, right? Most of us operate under this assumption, so when Pamela Anderson took to Instagram to bring her fans on a tour of her Vancouver Island vegetable garden, we were immediately struck by how lifted everything looks.

Rather than sprouting straight from the soil, most of Pamela Anderson's plants have some element of vertical growing. From raised beds to trellises to vine-covered pergolas to living walls, nearly every plant is elevated. Between these height-adding elements, Pamela has added pea gravel to create a pretty walkable path.

Her vertical gardening method is brilliant for both design and practical reasons. It helps her vegetables and vining plants grow better, but it also just creates a nicer environment to walk around.

To explore replicating her vertical vegetable gardening idea, Homes & Gardens curated an edit of pieces needed to plant like Pamela. Then, we spoke with garden experts about the best ways to bring height to any garden. With these tips, you'll have a Pamela-worthy outdoor space in no time.

Recreate Pamela Anderson's Look at Home

As we've stated before, Pamela Anderson's pergola is one of our absolute favorite parts of her backyard, and it's easy to bring the charm of this accent to any outdoor space.

Emily Green, garden maintenance expert at Howarth Timber advises: 'A pergola is one of the most effective ways to introduce structure and comfort to an outdoor space. It creates a defined zone for relaxing or entertaining while providing welcome shade during sunny days. For a Mediterranean-inspired look, use natural timber and climbing plants to spiral around the wood.'

We're also obsessed with the arched, plant-covered hallway that Pamela Anderson walks through on her garden tour. This look can be recreating by bringing a trellis into your vegetable garden.

'A timber trellis is a simple addition that can make a significant visual impact,' Emily recommends. 'It introduces height and texture while providing valuable support for climbing plants, helping to create a greener and more immersive outdoor environment.'

In addition to the vertical elements, how you add interest to the ground is equally important in creating the visual contrast that makes the height of Pamela's garden so successful. As she shows, landscaping with gravel or smooth stones is the perfect place to start.

Emily states: 'The pale tones of light-colored stones help reflect light, keeping spaces feeling bright and airy, while the natural texture adds depth and authenticity. Gravel is also a low-maintenance option that supports good drainage in sunny gardens.'

If you have more limited space in your small garden, you can still grow upwards like Pamela, by relying on the built spaces you already have at home. Julian Palphramand, Head of Plants at British Garden Centres, advises: 'A wall, fence, or balcony railing covered in climbing plants looks far better than a bare one and takes up almost no ground space at all. Jasmine, honeysuckle, clematis, and roses are the classic climbers, all reliable, all fragrant. A trellis or two is usually all you need to get them started.'

As gardening trends lean towards the achievable, this type of vertical gardening has grown ever more popular. 'Living walls have become genuinely practical in recent years too,' explains Julian. 'A panel of succulents or hardy perennials fixed to a fence is low maintenance, looks great year-round, and turns what's usually blank space into something worth looking at.'

Pamela teaches us that sometimes, the best things in the garden are found when we look up. It's a reminder that structures like trellises and pergolas are not only functional, but design-led additions to our outdoor spaces.

Having a jar of spatulas on your countertop simplifies cooking, but it can be an eyesore depending on your tools. Luckily, Cher has designed a chic yet playful spatula for Williams Sonoma to fix these woes. Adorably designed and carefully constructed, the design can become an effortless part of your kitchen countertop decor.

Cher's newly designed cooking tool was designed as part of a partnership between Williams Sonoma and No Kid Hungry, where WS donates a portion of proceeds from each spatula sold to end childhood hunger in the United States. In classic Cher fashion, the singer's design is tongue-in-cheek, featuring a culinary-inspired version of the lyrics to her song 'If I Could Turn Back Time.'

She states: 'Access to food should never be something a child has to worry about. That’s why I’m honored to support No Kid Hungry in their ongoing efforts to feed children.'

Cher isn't the only one who wants to support Williams Sonoma and No Kid Hungry's mission; Shania Twain, Miranda Lambert, Bobby Berk, Lance Bass, Caroling Chambers, Christina Milian, Meredith Hayden, and That Little Puff have also contributed their own designs to the campaign.

In addition to giving to a great cause, each colorful spatula is designed to be a stylish addition to your kitchen countertop storage.

These limited-edition kitchen utensils are more than just a pretty face. Their colorful head-resistant silicone head won't chip or absorb food odors and flavors, while the beech wood handle is shaped like an artist's paintbrush for comfort and control. They're perfect for stirring, scraping and mixing a range of ingredients.

Though all the designs are eye-catching, we especially love the fun, whimsical idea behind Cher's. It's a nod to an iconic musician everytime you whip something up in the kitchen.

Designs by Shania Twain and Miranda Lambert have a similar playful ethos.

Goodbye boring cream bedrooms – in 2026 homeowners are craving a richer, more compelling look. If you want to go bold but aren't sure how, an oversized headboard is the statement piece you need.

Andy Cohen's Hamptons bedroom demonstrates just how striking it looks. The presenter's bedroom features blue wave-covered wallpaper interrupted by a gargantuan striped blue headboard. It reaches behind his bedside lamps and tables for an impressive, all-encompassing look.

His designer, Jackie Greenberg explains: '[The oversized headboard] allows the nightstand to be as big as possible. And, by incorporating sconces directly into the headboard, the surface area is completely freed up.'

Thus, Greenberg's design is not only stunning; it opens up new avenues for storage. As design gets simultaneously bolder and more practical, its clear why Andy's headboard is emerging as a major 2026 interior design trend.

To dive in, Homes & Gardens curated a blue bedroom edit inspired by Andy's look, and spoke with designers about the evolution of the oversized headboard trend and how to recreate it at home. Hint: headboards are only getting bigger.

Shop The Blue Bedroom Edit

If you want to invest directly in the oversized headboard trend, the Seraph Upholstered Winged King Bed from Crate & Barrel is available in a range of colors to fit in any room. Otherwise, here are our favorite blue pieces for bringing an Andy-inspired charm to your bedroom.

Though large headboards have been in the zeitgeist for a while, part of what feels so revolutionary about Andy's design is the way Greenberg has paired it with a tonal wallpaper. It creates the illusion that the headboard idea goes on forever.

'No matter the size of your headboard, combining it with a wallpaper in a similar shade is a great way to make it feel massive,' advises Carlin van Noppen, interior designer at Fig Linens and Home. 'It breaks down the visual boundary between wall and furnishing. This technique is especially useful in a small bedroom where you don't have room for an especially large headboard, but still want to expand the space being the bed.'

This look is dominating bedroom trends in 2026.

Carlin states: 'Among our clients, we've been seeing a huge increase in demand for large headboards. Though people once wanted their bedrooms to be a space for complete relaxation, I think today there's a lot more concession that these spaces should feel as interesting as the rest of the home.'

As stated above, oversized headboards like Andy's are also growing in popularity due to people living in smaller spaces in cities and looking for more ways to maximize their bedroom storage. This is one that doesn't take away from the aesthetic of your home.

Design expert Shelley Cochrane also advises: 'If you’re looking to add storage without compromising on the coziness in your bedroom, opt for an oversized upholstered headboard in a tactile fabric like velvet or boucle, which will soften the look of a larger bed nicely. Better yet, choose a bed with a wraparound headboard, which adds an extra cocooning element to help cultivate an atmosphere for the perfect night's sleep.'

There is a shift happening on the kitchen counter. For years, many have favored the clinical recessed ceiling light, but it increasingly appears that its days are numbered.

Take Erin Napier's home as the most recent space to showcase a shift in how we think about kitchen lighting. In her 1920s craftsman home in Laurel, Mississippi, Erin has turned to a softer alternative to the aforementioned recessed ceiling light: A kitchen countertop lamp.

Placing a small table lamp alongside cutting boards or marble surfaces casts a localized area of light that immediately relaxes the room, offering an ambient alternative to harsh overhead bulbs once the evening arrives.

Shop the Napier-Inspired Kitchen Lighting Edit

Anyone who knows and loves Erin's work knows how well this ambient approach to lighting aligns with her design aesthetic. Celebrated for her mix of historic reverence and cozy, English country decor-inspired details, she regularly leans into layered lighting to make a space feel truly lived-in.

Rather than flooding a room from a single overhead fixture, the intent is to build texture. As James Kendall, the operations director at KES Lighting, points out, 'As the kitchen has evolved into the heart of the home, lighting design is becoming more layered, functional and visually striking.'

In her kitchen, wood tones (exhibited through cerused oak cabinetry and collected art pieces) are paired naturally with the pleated linen shades, much like this beautiful match from Target. This preference for tactile, organic elements mirrors a broader movement in contemporary kitchen design, as James explains.

'A major lighting trend is the growing emphasis on natural materials and organic forms,' he says. 'Rather than simply opting for smooth white fixtures, homeowners are embracing warmer, more tactile materials that bring depth and texture to the kitchen.'

In pairing these delicate shades with grounded bases, a countertop lamp helps blur the line between utility and living space. 'Materials such as rattan, wood, and linen shades introduce a softer, more natural feel, reflecting the increasing demand for sustainable and biophilic design,' James notes.

'Metallic finishes such as brass, copper, and matte black are also proving popular, particularly when paired with materials like glass or wood. These combinations add depth and character while creating a timeless look.'

Switching off the overhead lights for a small counter lamp completely changes the room. Erin and Ben’s kitchen shows just how relaxed an evening space can feel.

In Meg Ryan’s Montecito living room, high-contrast design has had a soulful reset. Monochromatic spaces often risk feeling stark or clinical, but the actress's open-plan, double-height space does the exact opposite. Her room is warm and sculptural, and her secret is what hangs overhead.

Rather than relying on conventional fixtures (or, we dare say, harsh recessed lighting), Ryan anchored her space with an oversized, wireframe geometric chandelier. The result is a true masterclass in living room lighting ideas.

Suspended beneath white-painted brickwork and exposed structural beams, the black fixture (similar to this one from Wayfair) functions less as a light source and more as structural art. Its silhouette fills the room's vast vertical volume without blocking sightlines, consequently softening the home's sharp architectural angles.

Shop the Meg Ryan Living Room Edit

Meg's approach is one that leading design experts champion when elevating neutral palettes.

'Lighting should always look as good on as it does off; lighting designs with beautiful silhouettes can never be overlooked; sculptural table lamps make beautiful ornaments within a room, offering both a practical and an aesthetically pleasing purpose,' says Georgia Metcalfe, Founder & Designer at French Bedroom.

In Meg's living room, the wireframe fixture ensures that even during the day, when turned off, the light acts as a grounding focal point. It cleverly draws the eye upward and always keeps the monochrome palette dynamic.

Beyond balancing proportions, statement fixtures help set the mood, especially in high-contrast spaces like hers.

'Lighting is a key aspect to consider when you are looking to bring a new lease of life into any room in your home. Fashioning the correct lighting scheme is essential for creating a relaxing atmosphere in a room, and also offers us the opportunity to make a style statement,' comments design expert Lena Gierasinska.

'For those who wish to add visual drama to their space, nothing beats the effect of a hanging chandelier or sculptural floor lamp. Get creative and choose bold materials such as brass, marble and wood to really catch the eye.'

In pairing modern, architectural lighting with tactile, organic details (like oversized leafy branches and oversized vases), Meg's space is a lesson in a tried-and-true palette that transcends lighting trends. It's proof that a black-and-white color scheme is never boring when sculptural form is able to take center stage. Take it from her.

Some neutral homes feel too precious to touch; while others feel soft enough to sink into. Lupita Nyong'o's elegant and breezy California abode falls into the second category while retaining an impressive refinement.

Three years into residence at her Los Angeles property, the Academy-Award-Winning actress enlisted the Crate & Barrel Design Desk to transform the living room and patio into spaces that actually feel like her. The result is a beautiful, calming, and elevated space.

Lupita explains: 'I wanted a space that felt vibrant, with soft, textured layers and elegant accents. Clutter-free, but still cozy.'

Crate & Barrel delivered, dreaming up a space that perfect combines natural materials with subtle pattern. Gently undulating furniture give the whole space a flowing, organic aura.

In addition to the neutral furnishings, Lupita's floor-to-ceiling windows with a view do a lot of the work in establishing this organic connection.

'I wanted the outdoors to be the art in the room, so I craved a seating arrangement that let everyone soak in the view,' Lupita states. 'Now it finally feels the way I have wanted it to since I moved in: lived-in, inviting, a place where I can relax.'

Recreate Lupita's Look at Home

The best part of Lupita Nyong'o's house being designed by the Crate & Barrel design desk is that it's easy to replicate every element in your own home. Here are our favorite pieces.

The burgundy and linen seating is the perfect complement to Lupita's wood-panelled fireplace idea. It's somehow cozy and breeze at once.

Multiple seating areas make the home the perfect place for relaxing with friends and family.

Stepping outside, Lupita's patio feels more like an outdoor living room than a run of the mill porch - beginning with the outdoor gallery wall.

From the curved wicker dining chairs down to the family-style table, every element of this space feels elevated, yet practical.

'I wanted an outdoor space that made entertaining easy, day and night, says Lupita.

She continues: 'The team worked very hard to understand how I see the world, and what matters to me. Because of this personal approach, they knocked it out of the park!'

The patio isn't designed simply for eating, but also for relaxing. Little details bring it to life just as brilliantly as inside the home.

The best interior design doesn't transport us; it grounds us where we are. Lupita's home is exactly the type of space that brings a sense of presence.

The perfect display shelf is difficult to achieve; you want it to look curated, but too curated, casual, but not too casual, and above all, stylish but not too stylized. Luckily, Emilie and Jeff Goldblum's home office provides a masterclass.

The shelf styling in their Los Angeles guesthouse is alive with speakers, books, vases, and statues. While the items are carefully chosen and beautiful, there's also an element of effortless in how they are thrown together. It transforms the room from a simple home office into a personal museum.

With architecture by Barbara Bestor and design by the firm Zeb and Crunk, the space is absolutely gorgeous.

To unpack the lessons embedded in their decorative home office storage, Homes & Gardens curated an edit to help you get the Goldblum look. We also spoke with shelving expert, Bo Hellberg, about the benefits of shelving in a home office, and how anyone can access them.

Beyond pure aesthetic value, the Goldblum's vertical shelves are an excellent method for maximizing storage space while organizing a home office. Bo Hellberg, CMO at Scandinavian shelving brand String Furniture, explains: 'Modular, open shelving provides a great way to fit storage into small workspaces. The best thing about modular furniture is that it really can be installed anywhere.'

'Luckily, the method is as simple as Emilie and Jeff make it look. Bo advises: 'There are only two things you need to consider. The first is making sure your shelving is deep and tall enough to store your belongings but narrow enough that it doesn't compromise your precious square footage.'

'He continues: 'The second is making sure you use a mix of open shelving and cabinet styles to create a display unit that is flexible enough to hide the things you don't want on show.'

The playful storage behind the couple's home office desk has the added benefit of being easy to reconfigure. This versatility is aligned with current interior design trends.

'Flexible home workspaces continue to gain traction, with more people working from home,' explains Bo. 'This shift is driving demand for elegant, multifunctional furniture like foldable work desks.'

As the speakers and books on Jeff and Emilie's shelves demonstrate, the important thing about tapping into this look is designing for practicality as well as style.

Bo tells Homes & Gardens: 'When designing a home office, a functional space is key. A poorly planned layout disrupts the flow of a space. A well-designed room should feel cohesive and easy to navigate, with each area serving a clear purpose.'

He continues: 'Floor-to-ceiling shelving systems offer an elegant solution to this common issue. Open, floor-to-ceiling shelving can create distinct zones within a room, acting as a stylish room divider that provides added storage and delineates space while still allowing light to pass freely through the room.'

If you are hoping to add character, warmth and storage to your home office, the Goldblum's vertical shelves might be just the thing.

Designing with antique and vintage pieces is one of the simplest ways to introduce warmth and character into a home, creating an inviting sanctuary during the bright summer months.

At worst, an excess of older furnishings can make a space feel cold, dated, and museum-like. At best, decorating with antiques alongside modern design creates an eclectic, comfortable, and captivating atmosphere. Zooey Deschanel's living room is a masterclass in achieving that balance.

Deschanel and her husband, Property Brother Jonathan Scott, share a classic – but lively – living room concept. The space is centered around a plush velvet sofa in a modern moss shade – a vibrant, garden-inspired tone that brings the lushness of summer indoors while complementing the surrounding dark wood accents.

Behind the living room sofa (much like this chic design from Wayfair), a wooden sideboard displays a vintage phonograph alongside a potted orchid in a white pot, bringing a touch of fresh, airy summer energy into the setting.

On the wall above, an oil painting in an antique frame casts an old-world, luxurious glow over the entire room.

According to experts, this blend of styles aligns perfectly with current interior design directions. Megan Slack, Head of Celebrity Style, states:

'For 2026, minimalism is out, and characterful interiors are in. People are increasingly interested in spaces guided by their personal interests, and Deschanel's take on the look is especially elevated because it's a masterful example of decorating with vintage. It takes her interest in music and mixes it with the heirloom trend.'

What makes Deschanel and Scott's design truly impactful beyond passing trends is its effortless bridge between vintage and contemporary pieces.

For instance, pairing the antique oil painting with a sofa in a trending velvet shade prevents the artwork from feeling too old-fashioned, while the painting keeps the modern sofa anchored in classic design. Meanwhile, fresh touches like the potted orchid make a subtle yet high-impact contribution to the living room's sunlit vitality.

The finest homes carry a distinct voice – and integrating curated antiques alongside modern decor is one of the easiest ways to build a retreat that feels uniquely yours all summer long.

From delicate coral and soft blush to bold cerise, shades of pink bring an uplifting energy to summer spaces that few other colors can rival. Joanna Gaines understands the appeal of this versatile hue. The interior designer and star of the acclaimed HGTV series Fixer Upper has long embraced the warmth and charm of pink, proving that the color can feel sophisticated, timeless, and surprisingly easy to decorate with.

Inviting, joyful, and effortless to style, pink has moved beyond its traditional associations and is now being embraced as an interiors neutral. As the shade continues to climb the paint charts, it’s time to leave any outdated assumptions about pink behind.

Bright, refreshing, and full of personality, pink is the perfect choice when you want to bring a sense of happiness into your home – or, as Joanna Gaines has shown, your patio garden. Over the past few years, the color has experienced a major revival, appearing everywhere from restaurants and retail spaces to modern interiors and outdoor areas. While color trends naturally evolve, pink’s continued popularity suggests this is more than a fleeting moment.

‘There is something innately romantic about decorating with pink in the garden,’ says Gaines. ‘Choosing a hue that feels timeless, rather than trendy, can transform any space, even an outdoor one. Pair it with white for a sweet, summery feel.’

Eleanor Richardson, Color Editor at Homes & Gardens, agrees that pink’s appeal lies in its ability to create warmth without overwhelming a space. ‘Pink has become one of the most adaptable colors in design because it can shift from soft and calming to bold and energizing depending on the shade. In a garden setting, it creates a welcoming atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and beautifully modern.’

The versatility of pink is undeniable, making it a natural fit for almost any interior or exterior style – from traditional cottage gardens to contemporary outdoor spaces. It may not be the most obvious choice for a patio, but a rose-tinted garden is quickly becoming a sought-after design feature.

In Joanna Gaines’ outdoor space, a pink-and-red-trimmed parasol takes center stage, while coordinating seat cushions add a harmonious layer of warmth and charm. The Yanisa Umbrella by Business and Pleasure Co. from Wayfair is a near-identical match.

Color can also be introduced through planting, and Joanna Gaines has used roses to bring subtle variations of pink throughout her garden. A selection of delicate blooms from Heirloom Roses creates a refined yet romantic palette, while climbing varieties such as ‘The Impressionist’ and ‘New Dawn’ trail beautifully along the walls, adding height, movement, and texture to the space.

Moving beyond her signature palette of creams and whites, Joanna Gaines has also incorporated shades of pink and apricot through roses including ‘Apricots and Cream,’ ‘Amazing Grace,’ and ‘Polka,’ creating a garden that feels layered, elegant, and full of seasonal interest.

Robin Jennings of Heirloom Roses says: ‘There are so many varieties of roses to choose from beyond the usual Hybrid Tea varieties from Amazon that your grandmother likely grew. Adding clustering roses such as Floribundas or Grandifloras in shades of peach and pink will give gardeners in all zones a modern splash of color with the benefit of delicious fragrance.’

Roses also offer incredible flexibility in the garden, with varieties ranging from compact three-foot shrubs to dramatic 20-foot climbers. ‘If I could only plant one type of rose,’ says Robin Jennings, ‘I would choose a Floribunda like Parfuma Earth Angel from Walmart, which is easy to grow and offers the most blooms and fragrance from a single plant.’

Many modern roses will bloom continuously throughout summer or produce multiple flushes of flowers during the growing season. With intricate petal patterns, captivating fragrance, and strong roots that provide beauty for years to come, it’s easy to see why roses remain a favorite among gardeners across the United States – especially when planted in romantic shades of pink.

Few royal residences manage to feel genuinely private, let alone shrouded in centuries of secret retreat. Yet hidden in the countryside of West Sussex lies a property that once served as a sanctuary for British high society.

For the first time in its 545-year history, The Old House – Lord Snowdon (Antony Armstrong-Jones) and HRH Princess Margaret's former home – has been publicly listed for sale, carrying a £3.95 million ($5.05 million) asking price.

Gifted to Antony by his uncle, stage designer Oliver Messel, shortly before his 1960 royal wedding, the secluded estate became a magnet for 20th-century icons. Everyone from Peter Sellers and Dame Margot Fonteyn to Bianca Jagger slipped away from London to gather behind its doors, creating a legendary retreat that inspired an entire episode of Netflix’s The Crown.

Today, it's a masterclass of English country decor, with some unexpected twists, as we explore.

Passing through a cottage front door, one enters a home whose interior pays homage to its five-century-old history.

In the principal reception areas, medieval structural bones give way to Georgian symmetry.

The paneled living room features bow windows – a design addition introduced by Lord Snowdon, who drew inspiration from the townhouses of Brighton’s Charles Street. These frame views across the surrounding lawns.

At the center of the residence, the farmhouse kitchen is exactly what one would expect from such a historic country property.

The cooking space was reconfigured by the late earl, who opened up the ceiling to install a raised gallery stage level directly above.

Despite its heritage, it's designed for modern use, and, above all, entertaining. The space steps out onto stone dining terraces that overlook the grounds.

Remnants of the property's past remain evident in the quirkiest of ways. For example, Snowdon’s former photographic darkroom is now a home library, keeping its artistic heritage intact.

Upstairs, the 5,750-square-foot main house has six bedrooms, but the most remarkable space in the entire residence is perhaps the bathroom.

Here, the walls, which are largely untouched for more than half a century, remain papered in a hand-assembled collage of original newspaper clippings curated by Lord Snowdon himself.

'There are country houses, and then there are houses that become part of the national story,' says Theo James-Wright, director at Blue Book Agency (who currently holds the listing).

'What Lord Snowdon created here was not simply a private home, but an extraordinary creative retreat. What makes it particularly special is that the history here is still tangible – you see it in the former darkroom, the Ascot balcony, and the extraordinary bathroom covered in newspaper cuttings.'

Outside, the 5.52-acre estate is designed as a sequence of open-air living spaces.

The paths and borders guide you toward a lake, where stone stepping stones – officially inaugurated during a ceremony attended by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother – lead across to a private island pavilion.

Having been off the open market since 1481, this listing offers the chance to buy into history. It's a rare capsule of British design and royal intrigue, ready for the perfect owner.

Once favored for their calming aura, living rooms in shades of cream and beige have fallen out of favor in 2026, often labeled as 'boring' or 'dated.' However, all is not lost. With a few simple tweaks, it's easy to update these palettes for the post-beige era.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's soothing living room is a masterclass in how to add richness to a neutral space for a more timeless look. Though cream and beige feature, the couple worked with acclaimed designer Waldo Fernandez to make their Calabasas, California home feel warm and cocooning. From a wooden coffee table to terracotta colored armchairs to chocolate and olive green accents, their space practically blends into the patio outside, creating an alluring conversation with the natural world.

It's not just Kourtney and Travis; this richer take on calming color palettes is dominating interior design trends in 2026.

To explore the role of this rich color palette in the design space, Homes & Gardens started by curating an edit inspired by the pieces in Kourtney and Travis's neutral living room. Then, we spoke with design experts about the details that bring their space to life. Spoiler: it's much easier to recreate than you might think.

Recreate Kourtney and Travis's Look at Home

We mentioned that Kourtney and Travis layer in chocolate and olive in their living room to add interest, but did you notice the armchairs to the left of their coffee table? These terracotta furnishings add a reddish hue that totally overhaul the look.

Shelley Cochrane, Design Expert at Furniture Village explains: 'Terracotta takes its name from fired clay so naturally, it’s a warm and earthy tone.' She continues: 'In interiors, it strikes a perfect balance between the depth of brown and the drama of primary reds, adding instant, yet approachable character to a room. It works well in the home year-round, evoking Mediterranean style in summer, and adding coziness in winter.'

Layering this different shade of brown in goes a long way in creating a cozy, cocooning interior like Kourtney and Travis's.

Shelley advises: 'Terracotta works well throughout the home. In the living room, layer terracotta alongside deeper and darker shades like chocolate. Adding a terracotta sofa or armchair punctuates the space and creates a strong focal point.'

When it comes to bringing texture into a living room in 2026, there is no material better than wood. As evidenced by the coffee table and side stools in this room, the material creates visual interest and a natural feel. To replicate the look, try using a few different tones.

'A high-end look is all about depth and character,' advises Tony Collier, Design Expert at Wickes. 'Layering different but complementary wood tones and grains is what creates that seamless, expensive feel - and avoids the tackiness of a disjointed design.'

Some form of neutrals will always be on-trend, and Travis and Kourtney show exactly what's working this year. By prioritizing richness and texture, you can't go wrong.

When Jon Bon Jovi acquired his Malibu retreat in 1995, his decision to embrace rich timber ceilings and warm flooring paid homage to its era. However, like many who install such panels, these pieces were designed to last. Thirty-one years later, his investment in texture and structure is just as beautiful.

In 2026, as living rooms steer away from starker modernism in favor of organic warmth, the home’s foundational woodwork feels remarkably ahead of its time. This wall paneling idea serves as a reminder that natural wood ages in a way that celebrates craft and outlasts trending fads – and it comes with approval from those who design today.

Highlighting the lasting value of decorating with wood (and surprising benefits to your house value), Isfira Jensen, the CEO and principal interior designer at Jensen & Co, notes:

'Wood paneling is one of the best ways to add character to a space. In living areas like the living room and dining room, they are a perfect way to add a timeless appeal and even value to your home.'

Shop the Bon Jovi-Inspired Wood Edit

Given Jon Bon Jovi's music background, it is fitting that his choice of paneling brings acoustic benefits that are hard to rival.

'Beyond absorbing sound naturally, wood paneling also conceals imperfections like uneven surfaces on existing walls,' Isfira comments.

While these architectural elements are key to capturing the cozy feeling of warm minimalism, bringing this aesthetic into your own home comes with a cost. However, as one might expect, achieving that effortlessly refined finish often comes with a few practical hurdles.

'Cons are typically the costs involved for labor and materials,' Isfira says. 'Solid hardwood panels are expensive, especially when custom milled, and their installation requires precision fitting and skilled carpentry.'

These years later, Jon Bon Jovi's space serves as enduring proof that organic warmth is timeless. Custom wood features may require skilled carpentry (and, consequently, a higher budget), but as this 1995 space demonstrates, the aesthetic dividends last for decades.

Whether you're looking to wood-drench or just bring depth and acoustic comfort into your living space with some accents, warm wood minimalism remains the ultimate layout to emulate. We promise it'll look just as good in another 30 years from now.

In 2026, the 'analog living' trend is deeply influencing how we engage with the world around us, encouraging creative, off-screen hobbies and activities. Of course, our interiors are reflecting this shift. Homeowners are engaging more with tactility in their homes, opting to fill their shelves with collected books, feature instruments, and leave crafting supplies out in the open.

Long before 'friction-maxxing' had taken over our Pinterest boards, tastemakers were turning their spaces into homages to their hobbies – and Elton John was an early adopter.

Photos of the singer's home in Surrey from 1974 show a living room alive with books, music, and instruments. Against a background of pure heritage decor (think crystal chandeliers and gilding), the stacks of records and piano make his space feel whimsical and fun.

As analog rooms are once again all the rage, we turn back in time to Elton's space to understand how chic people decorated with their hobbies before the internet. We'll start with a glimpse into his home, explore a curation of the items within, and then Homes & Gardens spoke with design experts to get to the bottom of what they think about the look.

Recreate Elton's Look at Home

Heritage-style pieces mix with personal effects to turn Elton John's living room into a unique jewel-box. Here are our editors' picks for recreating his look.

As Elton's maximalist living room demonstrates, the analog trend is a new approach to curated clutter. Magdalena Gierasinska, Design Expert at Barker and Stonehouse, states: 'Making your home more analog isn’t about rejecting technology outright; it’s about intention. Every object, every corner, every ritual is chosen to reward attention and care. From setting a table for a slow breakfast to curating a shelf of meaningful books and objects, analog interiors encourage us to slow down, to notice, and to take pleasure in the small, deliberate acts that turn a house into a home.'

To ensure this intentional energy, it's important to build opportunities for connection into your interiors. From books on the shelves to a piano on the floor, it's all about being in touch with the world around you.

'Analog living at home is about creating spaces where the digital world can step aside,' says Magdalena. 'It’s the quiet corner with a favorite armchair, the morning spent brewing tea in a ceramic pot, the deliberate pause to read a book rather than scroll. By designing rooms that encourage reflection and stillness, we reclaim our homes as sanctuaries of calm, where every action is savored rather than rushed.'

In addition to helping you slow down, analog interiors like Elton's can encourage creativity. Constant exposure to art is a key ingredient to making it.

Interiors expert Kate O'Brien explains: 'Another great way to inspire creativity is to display your work. Whether that be crafts, paintings or even your instruments, having reminders of your passion around is sure to motivate you to keep on creating.

If you are hoping to be more present in your home, life, or creative practice, Elton John's '70s living room presents an excellent inspiration for how to manifest these changes through your home.

In the living room of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s California home, quiet luxury takes shape through subtle texture and considered geometry. Rather than anchoring their space with a conventional rectangular suite, the couple opted for a fluid, low-slung bouclé banquette (much like this one from Crate & Barrel) that's warm and welcoming, despite sitting as a chic designer piece.

This sofa trend illustrates a wider movement in modern decor toward softer, more conversational seating. It reminds us that statement pieces can still be inviting – and, above all else, curved living room sofas are still very much in fashion for 2026.

'The beauty of a curved sofa lies in its sculptural silhouette,' says Helen Pett, the brand ambassador at Arteriors.

'Moving away from the boxier, more rigid structure of a typical sofa, the soft, curved lines introduce flow into a space. With the two ends gracefully arcing towards each other, the sofa encourages conversation and brings a greater sense of intimacy to a space.'

Shop the Beckham-Inspired Curved Sofa Edit

According to Helen, pairing these fluid forms with quiet neutrals enhances their architectural presence without overwhelming the room.

'We always tell clients to lean into the soft, elevated feel of a curved sofa when choosing color and material,' she continues. 'At the moment, we’re seeing a return to soft, creamy tones, which bring a sense of lightness to their sculptural form.'

Plus, despite bouclé dividing top designers this year, Helen (and, perhaps unintentionally, Brooklyn and Nicola) suggests that this weave is still a favorite. If you're wondering if curved couches are on trend, this is your answer.

'Bouclé also remains a popular choice, adding softness to the plush exterior,' she adds.

'Seamlessly blending cloud-like comfort and striking design, a curving sofa pulls a space together, creating a cocooning feeling and providing a beautiful space for rest and contemplation.'

While the popularity of both curved sofas and bouclé are under debate, Brooklyn and Nicola have made one of the most convincing cases to date. It's hard to argue, when their living room looks that good.

There are two trends we've been loving this season: stainless steel kitchens and hanging copper pots. Though each metallic look is striking on its own, Tana and Gordon Ramsay's kitchen demonstrates the magic of combining these two looks for a stylish mixed-metal finish.

An Instagram picture shared by Tana displays the couple's mixed-metal kitchen. It features a stainless steel fridge and extractor fan with silver hardware on the cabinets. Above Tana's head, antique-style copper pots hang from the fan. It's a unique marriage of modern industrial detail with storied country kitchen style for a blend that's instantly striking. It's also incredibly practical.

By hanging their pots from the ceiling, Gordon and Tana cut down on clutter while creating a new avenue for storage as decor. Their technique is clever, stylish, and increasingly accessible in modern kitchens.

To get to the bottom of tapping into their look, Homes & Gardens spoke with experts about how the different elements of the Ramsays' kitchen work together. We also curated an edit of our favorite copper and stainless steel pieces to make it easy for you to recreate their style at home.

Shop The Copper and Stainless Steel Kitchen Edit

As Gordon and Tana's kitchen demonstrates, the first key to creating a layered kitchen is looking up. Vertical storage options like tall shelves and hooks turn crockery into decor, while sparing lower cabinets from being overstuffed.

'Floating shelves and hooks can be both functional and visually appealing,' explains Laura Watson, interior design expert at IKEA’s Online Interior Design Service. She continues. 'Vertical storage solutions utilise otherwise wasted wall space while displaying items that reflect your personality. This also helps to keep the floor area clear, avoiding the room feeling cluttered.'

If you want to embark on a project similar to Gordon and Tana's hanging copper pots, the number one kitchen storage mistake to avoid is not planning carefully. Installing hooks and shelves is a time consuming process, and if you want them to part of the decor, it's important to ideate around how you can use them to elevate your home, rather than drag it down.

Laura advises: 'Jumping into space-saving projects without a clear plan can lead to inefficient use of space and resources. Taking the time to measure, plan and visualise the layout can result in a more effective and aesthetically-pleasing outcome.'

The other striking element of Gordon and Tana's space is the use of stainless steel in their kitchen. Though our Instagram feeds are inundated with images that select this finish for every surface, the couple demonstrates that you can go much more subtle.

Jen Nash, Head of Design at Magnet recommends: 'If you're uncertain about committing to an entirely stainless steel kitchen, integrating this material through smaller components of your culinary space, such as an island, butcher's block, or on countertops, serves as a graceful entry point for diversifying your kitchen's visual appeal and functionality.'

'A stainless steel kitchen island or countertop contrasts beautifully with surrounding cabinetry which is perhaps more traditional,' continues Jen. 'Bringing a balance between cold and warmer physicality to the space, the result can be a unique blend of industrial and organic elements that is a design statement in itself.'

If you want to integrate just one stainless steel element into your kitchen, Jen advises beginning with the work surfaces. She states: 'If you can’t decide between stainless steel cabinets or countertops, I would point out that opting for the latter has the added benefit of providing a very hygienic and easy-to-clean surface for food preparation.'

Just like our personalities, no space is just one thing; in fact, it's in the fusion of different styles and design philosophies that homes truly come to life.

Some rooms are the sum of many carefully considered details, and some spaces are brought together by one eye-catching detail. These spaces speak through simplicity, creating an impact that is not soon forgotten. Khloé Kardashian demonstrates that the easiest way to accomplish this feat is with statement lighting.

Photos from her birthday party reveal a space that is most likely the neutral living room in her Hidden Hills, California home. Dealing in a color palette of beige and cream, the space is striking on its own – but a sculptural light fixture by the Spanish artist Nacho Carbonell takes the design to the next level. It draws the eye up, illuminates the space, and gives the sense that the room is a gallery in and of itself.

Carbonell's tactile 'Cocoon' lamps are made of locally sourced materials from near his studio in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Using steel branches and mesh, he creates sculptures that seem to breathe – feeling at once natural and industrial.

In Homes & Gardens' exclusive interview with Nacho in 2024 at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery, he explained that his work is designed to become an interactive, tactile element of the space where it is used. He stated: 'I feel like my works are a universal product that can somehow blend one way or the other in the interiors of any house; the conversation depends on who's interacting with it and how they communicate with them.'

This is interesting because Khloé's lighting looks built for her space, but the process often works the opposite way. Nacho explained that though he does some commissions for public space, most end up in private collections within a pre-existing space. He stated: 'The right place and the right piece will somehow find each other.'

The same can be said of all sculptural lighting. Though the piece in these photos is a literal work of art, its broadly applicable lesson is that carefully considered living room lighting can be completely transformative.

There are many options to bring eye-catching lighting to your own home but part of what is so striking about Khloé's light is that it feels organic, almost as if it grew from her ceiling. This biophilic texture is emerging as a major lighting trend for 2026.

Michael Jackson, Head of Design at Northern Lights advises: 'Milan Design Week 2026 continues to reinforce a move towards interiors grounded in natural materials and organic references, where softness and tactility are used to create calmer, more restorative spaces. Within lighting, this is reflected in designs that feel more sculptural and organic in form, where material choice becomes central to how light is experienced within a space.'

The Sculptural Lighting Edit

Though nothing compares to Nacho's works, when chosen right, all lighting can feel like a piece of art in one way or another. These are the pendants our editors would choose to add instant wow-factor to their living rooms.

Choosing pieces that have a fluid shape, like Khloe's, can also work to transform a room.

Michael advises: 'A key direction from Milan is the shift away from rigid geometry towards softer architectural language - curved, continuous forms that mirror movement in nature and bring a more human scale to interiors. For lighting, this places emphasis on sculptural silhouettes that feel integrated within the architecture rather than applied to it.'

'To create architectural softness and to aid light diffusion, alabaster-led pieces which place the mineral at the forefront and allow light to be softened and elongated will be seen in high-end interiors, to soften a space and create ambience,' he adds.

It's time to stop thinking of living room lighting as an afterthought, and considering it as the beating heart of a room.

Infusing a historic property with genuine cinematic credibility without making it feel like a rigid movie set is no easy feat, yet a secret jewel in South Kensington, London, manages the balance effortlessly.

Once shared by Madonna and Guy Ritchie during the early years of their marriage, the eclectic 1,540-square-foot home has just entered the rental market for £2,075 (approximately $2.7K) per week.

Hidden away on the historic Queen’s Gate Mews, the two-bedroom property offers a rare chance to live inside a piece of British film history that still feels entirely ready for modern life. It was used as a filming location for Guy's friend Matthew Vaughn’s iconic gangster film, Layer Cake, in 2004.

Stepping through the black front door reveals a ground floor that subverts expectations of a traditional coach house. Rather than sticking to standard period tropes, the open-plan living room exhibits an eclectic, warm-toned aesthetic anchored by timber flooring.

An exposed industrial pipe runs the full length of the ceiling, drawing the eye toward a striking slate-colored accent wall.

The design relies on clever zoning rather than physical walls: A cream corner sofa layered with terracotta cushions sits comfortably atop a patterned kilim rug, while a mottled mirror reflects the library area opposite, instantly doubling the sense of space.

The kitchen home carries a remarkably personal connection. Guy Ritchie himself is understood to have designed the industrial-style kitchen, centering the space around a Falcon range cooker and gas hob. Fitted with stainless steel cabinets and a dark, veined stone backsplash, it's utilitarian but somehow still chic.

'Properties with this kind of history simply don't come up often,' says Elinor Ward, the director at Dexters South Kensington & Knightsbridge. 'The house is full of character, beautifully finished, and perfectly placed for anyone wanting to be in the heart of South Kensington.'

Upstairs, a dedicated office space transitions into the home's more restful quarters. The principal bedroom suite contrasts crisp white walls with a rich navy-blue velvet headboard and a gallery of framed art, including a distinct gilt-framed painting of a lioness.

A blush pink velvet sofa rests at the foot of the bed, while French doors open onto a small Juliet balcony overlooking the cobblestones below.

Shop the Mews-Inspired Look

Perhaps the most memorable design choice sits in the main bathroom. Here, the design team retained a striking piece of the building's original 19th-century fabric: an exposed brick archway that frames a freestanding bath.

Paired with Carrara marble half-tiled walls and a mosaic floor, the room successfully marries rugged history with pure luxury. A second bedroom balances the floor with a cooler palette of pale blues and built-in walnut bookshelves.

Outside, the classic white-painted brick façade gives little away regarding the property's past.

Originally constructed by William Jackson in the early 1860s to serve as stable accommodation for nearby grand estates, the mews survived a direct hit in the Blitz during the Second World War before being protected under the Queen’s Gate Conservation Area in 1969. The next chapter, however, could be re-written by you (if you have nearly $3K a month spare, that is)...

It's not just you; everyone's spending more time in their gardens lately. From planting vegetables to beekeeping, the habits generally aligned with the countryside are becoming more commonplace, no matter where you live in the world.

David Beckham is just one high-profile adopter, and he used his recent advertisement for Home Depot to highlight the ways he likes to spend time outdoors. The 'Built-It Like Beckham' campaign shows the soccer player practicing woodworking, beekeeping, and planting bushes in his fictional backyard - activities he's just as likely to practice in the real backyard at his Cotswolds home. 'You have to try this. This is so relaxing,' David tells fellow actor Josh Lucas, holding up his smoker from Home Depot, tending to his at-home apiary.

Pairing a celebrity like Beckham with these everyday home improvement projects is the final bellwether: this summer, Cotswolds hobbies are peak cool.

David shows that not only are these hobbies fun, but they can also make your backyard look incredible. Starting with the wooden bee boxes, they are a stunning visual addition to David's space, providing a gorgeous contrast to the surrounding greenery

Mark Douglas, founder of Bee1 and Cuprinol Garden Shades’s resident beekeeper, states: 'It’s fantastic to see bees and pollinators being talked about on such a global stage. Bee populations continue to face huge pressure from habitat loss, changing weather patterns, pesticides and a lack of connected green spaces. But people can make a real difference at home. You don’t need acres of land; small actions such as adding bug hotels and creating colourful, pollinator-friendly spaces can help.'

Shop David's Essentials

If you're hoping to get into any of David's Cotwold gardening hobbies, these pieces from Home Depot are the perfect place to start. From simple home improvements to bee-keeping gear, turning your garden into a sanctuary of escape has never been easier.

As David demonstrates, these hobbies like beekeeping are naturally connected to creatining a beautiful garden idea. Garden Expert Marianne Shillingford advises: 'Beds brimming with bright blooms are a joy for us, but for pollinators they’re an irresistible invitation. Adding colour to fences, planters or raised beds in soft, nature-inspired shades, such as Fresh Rosemary or Coastal Mist, helps to frame those flowers, making the whole space feel more dynamic and wonderfully alive.'

Sounds like David's Cotswolds Garden alright. Rather than an afterthought, homeowners are increasingly designing their gardens around the activities like they like to conduct there for a beautifully rich outdoor space.

Marianne adds: 'Pollinator-friendly gardens work best when they feel layered. Opt for hues like Sweet Pea or Mellow Moss across your fences, sheds, pots and furniture, then add nectar-rich planting in front. The result is a garden that looks joyful, feels connected to nature and gives bees and butterflies more reasons to visit.'

Following in the footsteps of the 'Analog Living' trend, vegetable gardening is having a similar revival. Mark Sage, Horticulture Expert at B&Q, explains: 'A 2026 trend we’ve noticed is a renewed interest in traditional, analogue skills such as pickling and fermenting food, driven by both a return to retro hobbies and a focus on gut-friendly foods.'

From growing cabbage to carrots, these activities have recently become a major part of many people's backyard experiences, including David Beckham's/ Though a single advertisement won't instantly prompt us to all start living more intentionally in our own greenspaces, its an indication on the direction of the culture.

Few cultural icons possess an aesthetic lexicon as distinct or uncompromising as Cher's. It follows, then, that her residence serves as an intimate, unyielding extension of her persona.

As we lean into the layered, sun-drenched design narratives of summer 2026, her eclectic living room, curated by celebrated British interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, provides an alluring masterclass in high-drama individuality, seamlessly blending antique furniture, a striking star-shaped coffered ceiling, and an authentic Chinese wedding bed.

The overarching philosophy behind the space is clear: styling a room around a singular, historic artifact is an exceptional way to make a definitive seasonal statement.

While many design enthusiasts are drawn to vintage curiosities and antique market finds during summer travels, there is often a hesitation to integrate them into modern layouts, let alone grant them center stage. Yet, Cher's California sanctuary proves that decorating with antiquities can effortlessly anchor a room and, with precise styling, elevate a home without ever dating it.

The grand living room functions much like a private, sunlit museum, offering a captivating cultural dialogue. The sprawling interior beautifully harmonizes Baroque, Moroccan, and Eastern influences that reflect a lifetime of global travel, all framed by an impressive coffered ceiling and elegant arched windows.

The undeniable focal point of this global tapestry is the An Chuang, or Chinese wedding bed. This remarkable piece takes center stage at the far end of the room, positioned symmetrically between two large arched windows to anchor the space. In an Instagram caption, designer Martyn captured the romance behind the selection:

'It's a custom piece wherein the bride and groom's new bed is set up and decorated in preparation for their new life together,' writes Martyn. 'Such a magical piece in its perfect home.'

While many can appreciate the theatrical beauty of such an artifact, few would dare to introduce it into a residential layout. However, bold curation need not be reserved solely for the elite. Theresa Butler, principal and founder of Theresa Butler Interiors, notes that with thoughtful intention, anyone can transform a one-of-a-kind treasure into a sophisticated focal point that embodies their personal narrative.

'Cher's home is an excellent example of applying themes and cultures to one's personal space,' says Butler. 'The recall of traditional Asian/East Asian design is consistent throughout and tells a coherent story of who Cher is and what she loves.'

Butler points out that this cohesion relies on an intentional dialogue between the wedding bed and the surrounding design elements. This fluid visual connection is achieved through repeated dark woods that ground the visual weight of the room, ornate carvings that create a textured rhythm across the furniture, and a highly dimensional ceiling that mirrors the structural grandeur below.

To truly leverage the power of an extraordinary piece, however, it requires an uncompromised spotlight, a detail where Butler suggests Cher's room experiences a slight editorial misstep.

'At first glance, you see the sitting area. However, the three-dimensional ceilings take your eyes to the back of the room, and before you can get to the grandeur of the An Chuang, the chandelier, another statement piece by itself, interrupts the moment,' Butler observes. 'Sure, it draws your eye to the An Chuang, but it competes with it. Nothing should compete with your statement piece; they should elevate the experience.'

As we refresh our interiors for the remainder of 2026, remember that family heirlooms, antiques, and decorating with vintage pieces will always have a place in refined design. The secret lies in giving them physical and visual breathing room.

Whether it is an imposing Chinese wedding bed or a delicate summer vase, allowing a prized object sufficient space ensures its story can truly be told.

While design critics often scrutinize neutral tones, they remain a failsafe decorating tool, particularly for accent chairs. As we look ahead to the upcoming autumn transition in 2026, Michelle Obama perfectly demonstrates the enduring power of a classic neutral chair – better described as the focal point of her entire living space.

Michelle selected a cream accent chair (like this one from McGee & Co.), proving that while this hue is a safe bet, it is far from boring. The former First Lady reminds us just how impactful cream can be, acting as both a grounding anchor for the room and a soft base that is ideal for seasonal layering.

In her space, Michelle pairs the chair with an intricately patterned red rug, a deep wooden coffee table, and fresh flowers, all contributing to a warm, inviting aesthetic perfect for late-summer nesting.

The cream upholstery allows these richer, deeper colors room to breathe, while the chair's silhouette commands attention. It is a timeless look for any living space, from spacious family rooms to small apartments.

Shop the Obama-Inspired Edit

While the versatility of a cream accent chair (and decorating with neutrals as a whole) has made it a favorite for decades, design experts emphasize that its appeal will not waver as we move through 2026.

'A neutral accent chair is an ideal piece for any interior design due to its versatile hue that complements other color schemes,' comments Paulina Wojas, Interior Designer at Stunning Chairs. 'Its soft, simple tone can create a calming and inviting space; however, a neutral chair can be enhanced by layering textures and vibrant hues for a bolder statement.'

Because Michelle is seated in the chair, her exact styling choices are hidden, but Wojas notes that it is nearly impossible to go wrong with this piece.

'Opt for textured cushions and throws with colors and patterns to add visual interest,' she suggests, which is an easy way to swap in warmer textures as the weather eventually cools.

'Placing a rug underneath the chair [like Michelle Obama] is a great way to add warmth and texture. Use the chair’s surroundings to enhance it; for example, hang a wall art near it and place a side table and lamp beside it. This creates a stylish and cozy aesthetic, emphasizing the accent chair as the focal piece of the room.'

To complete the look, decorate with cushions and throws that showcase your favorite seasonal palette and align with your personal taste. As Wojas concludes, 'This elevates the accent chair while creating a space that feels authentic to you.'

There's something about Zooey Deschanel's vintage style that feels preppy, in the best way possible. As you might expect, this ideology is equally reflected in her Los Angeles home, specifically a 1938 Georgian Revival, affectionately named Park House. Alongside its 'twee' style, however, the home offers a blueprint for personality-driven design.

Let's start with the living room storage, for example. The whimsical, wallpapered space features a stunning arched, glass-fronted cabinet that isn't outshone by the other colors in their space.

Using an arched cabinet like this one from Amazon, Zooey and Jonathan turned their storage into a focal point. They beautifully mixed wood tones, cane textures, and sentimental accessories – moving away from sterile, hidden storage ideas. It's a celebration of those who live in the home.

Shop the Deschanel-Inspired Edit

With the right cabinet for your living room, you, too, can replicate Zooey's look without creating visual chaos. Designers note that the revival of the glass cabinet is all about reclaiming connection in our spaces, and this is what makes it so beautiful.

'Glass-fronted cabinets offer a way to display the things that make a home feel personal without actually having to 'put them out' on display where they become visual clutter,' notes Blanca Sanchez, the director of Halo Design Interiors.

'For a long time many interiors moved towards completely hidden storage with everything tucked away behind solid doors, and while this can create a clean look, it can also make rooms feel less connected to the people who live there. Glass cabinets bring back the idea of showing personality through carefully chosen objects, and my advice would be to treat a glass-fronted cabinet as a curated display rather than simply another storage space.'

When curating the accessories in your cabinet, Blanca says we should think practically.

The most effective displays have a balance of practical and decorative pieces. A living room display could mix books with artwork, photographs or objects that have sentimental value,' she says.

'The glass creates a sense of openness, but the cabinet itself keeps everything contained and prevents the room from feeling busy. They’re also useful because they allow people to enjoy items that might otherwise spend years hidden away in cupboards. A beautiful collection only adds character to a home if you can actually see it.' We're taking this from Zooey, who has already perfected the look for years.

For Pamela Anderson, life is all about the simple things. She may be a world-famous model and actress, but outside of the spotlight, she prefers the sanctuary of nature, the sound of birds, and the feeling of her hands in the soil.

As major fans of her Vancouver Island farm, Homes & Gardens caught up with Pamela about how she makes gardening part of her wellness routine. Alongside her beauty products from Sonsie, the actress counts spending time in her backyard as among her most recharging activities.

'I’m allowing myself to rest right now,' explains Pamela. 'I’m taking a month in my garden to decompress after filming Alma… it was intense, and before I jump into my next film adventure. I want to think of nothing but nature.'

She tells Homes & Gardens: 'The garden is my re-entry back to myself. To begin again … it’s how the garden works. It’s full of inspiration. When in doubt. I put my sun hat on, my gardening gloves, boots, and grab my clippers and a harvest basket and head down to my garden by the sea.'

As huge fans of green therapy, we can't help but be charmed by how Pamela uses her stunning backyard as an escape from the everyday world. Harvesting vegetables, planting flowers, and pruning feel akin to making art in her eyes.

'It’s full of surprises,' she explains of her garden. 'It’s not in our full control. Nature is powerful, playful and wise. It’s a great way to start the day .. a little watering goes a long way. Tending to life, simplicity. Cutting roses for the cabins or weeding into a bucket … I love it all.'

Like her approach to beauty, Pamela likes to keep things natural, and sustainable gardening is central to her philosophy. Everything on the farm is circular.

'I keep all plant matter on the property for compost, a leaf mould, or fallen trees (natural causes),' She states. 'The wood chips and mulch come mostly from this piece of land.'

Even the products Pamela uses on her skin feed this ecosystem. Pamela's barrier moisturizer, the Adapt Cream from Sonsie, comes in compostable packaging that goes straight back into the farm when she has finished a container.

When she doesn't have her hands in her vegetable beds, Pamela still doesn't go inside. She states: 'I live on Vancouver Island… a rain forest. I’m outside rain or shine. I love feeling the rain on my face and in my hair. I love thunder and lightning. I come alive under a full moon.'

Her simple, functional outdoor furniture reflects her obsession with spending time in nature. It's elevated, but nothing is too fussy.

Pamela says: 'I have Adirondack chairs around a fire pit where we have bonfires. Or on the pier (they stay outside all year). I have my wicker too that we pull in and out depending on the weather. A blanket picnic in the wildflower field full of butterflies or on the rocky beach visited by crabs. We aren’t precious.'

The Edit: Shop Pamela's Outdoor Favorites

Pamela keeps it simple in the garden with elevated basics that tap into her classic, lived-in style. Here are our editors' picks inspired by the furniture and tools she uses everyday.

As you might expect from the way she speaks about it, Pamela's love for gardening is deeply spiritual as well as psychological.

She explains: 'I believe rosemary should be at every garden gate... it is lucky, (and is good for memory). I have St Francis watching over my garden. I love an altar inside and outside. I pray and meditate in my garden.'

Pamela's daily routine aligns with her love for gardening - the idea that good things take time feels top of mind as she moves through life on the farm.

She tells Homes & Gardens: 'I wake up, let my dogs out, feed them… then I do my Sonsie routine, light a candle at my altar for world peace, I throw my hair up in a scrunchie or scarf and get outside to walk every morning, with my mom lately.'

She continues: 'I check on my gardens daily when I’m home. I write in my journal in the morning, but sometimes at night these days. I feel clearer in the mornings, but I’m also curious about my end-of-day thoughts when they don’t come so naturally or so pretty. It’s like the waste of the day. It still needs to come out.'

Connecting with nature through gardening is not just an aesthetic practice, it can also be a huge part of our wellness and spirituality. When we view these activities holistically, that's when the real magic happens.

Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi may be best known for his timeless anthems, but his home design is striking a chord of its own. As the warm summer months inspire a desire for light, airy, and refreshed interiors, the 'Livin' on a Prayer' singer's kitchen offers the ultimate inspiration. While his music leans into classic nostalgia, his home boasts a contemporary feel thanks to a single design choice: open shelving.

In an Instagram post, Bon Jovi gave fans a glimpse into his sleek, minimalist kitchen. The space features a crisp white-tiled backsplash, a stunning marble island, and open glass shelves displaying stainless steel cookware and simple ceramic plates. This setup creates a clean and timeless appearance that feels especially bright for the season, while maximizing the effortless accessibility of the shelving.

While open shelving works beautifully throughout the home, it brings a perfect blend of practicality and style to the kitchen during the sunny entertainment season.

Shop the Bon Jovi-Inspired Kitchen Edit

'Open shelving creates an airy and refreshing look in the kitchen, making the space feel larger and more inviting,' says Tina Priestly, refresh expert and owner of Ready, Set, Refresh.

As Bon Jovi demonstrates, these shelves are ideal for showcasing decorative crockery or keeping a curated selection of pots and pans within easy reach.

Priestly recommends mixing and matching dishes, cookbooks, and decorative items to create a personalized, beautiful display. During the season of backyard barbecues and outdoor gatherings, keeping your favorite summer salad bowls and cocktail glassware on display is both stylish and incredibly convenient.

'One of the best benefits of open shelving is easy access to your kitchen essentials,' Priestly explains. 'No more digging through cabinets – everything you need is at your fingertips!'

To ensure your open shelves maintain their visual appeal, variety is key. Incorporating a curated array of sizes, compositions, and object types transforms storage into a design feature.

'Combine different textures and materials, like wood, ceramic, and glass, to add visual interest,' Priestly suggests. 'Create balance by alternating between taller and shorter items. Use symmetry to maintain a clean and organized look.'

To give your kitchen an extra splash of summer life, Priestly also suggests incorporating some greenery. Potted herbs like basil, mint, or rosemary are perfect for seasonal cooking needs and instantly brighten up the shelves.

Ultimately, open kitchen storage is all about personal expression. You can choose a clean, utilitarian look like Bon Jovi, or personalize the space with vibrant summer glassware and beloved cookbooks that beg to be displayed.

Designing the sets for Elle, Prime Video's new Legally Blonde prequel, was a delicate balance between '90s period accuracy, reflecting a beloved character, updating an existing visual world into something new, and creating an aspirational look. What, like it's hard?

Luckily, production designer Laurin Kelsey was up for the job. Homes & Gardens sat down with Laurin to learn about how she and her team went about designing Elle Woods's '90s universe.

From the '90s trends that influenced the sets, to the role of pink in the interiors, to vintage shopping for an authentic feel, our conversation went far beyond Elle to dive into the role interiors play in our lives. Just like in Elle's world, our homes are integral to our stories.

Since the new show takes Elle's character back in time, it only makes sense that the sets would do the same. To achieve this, Laurin had to immerse herself in the character of Elle Woods from the first film, originally played by Reese Witherspoon, to work up to the younger Elle, played by newcomer Lexi Minetree

'The most important consideration was the film and the fan base,' Laurin tells Homes & Gardens. 'It was about taking what we know about Elle as a character in her present day—which was 2001—and figuring out what was most important about her character, her world, and her palette, and then rewinding the clock to see how she got to that point. It felt a bit like being a detective, discovering a character's world before we truly know her.'

'90s colors and trends weave through almost every element of Elle's homes in the show.

Laurin explains: 'Another important consideration was the time period. I remember watching the film and seeing big, bold patterns in her room. I had to figure out the equivalent for the 90s, where patterns were smaller, and items were more matched. I was rewinding not just the character's history, but the actual period history of what would have been appropriate for that time.'

She continues: 'Most of the people who worked on the show are from a similar generation, so we got to reflect on our own experiences. We asked ourselves, "What was I like as a teenager in the 90s? What were my favorite things in my bedroom?" Rewinding the clock that way was fun and special. Elle is relatable, so we all see a piece of ourselves in her.'

However, rather than dogmatically sticking to the conventions of the pre-millennium era, Laurin was able to choose only the best. Since the team was designing for a canonically fashionable character, they opted to forgo dated '90s color trends and furnishings for a more aspirational version of this period. The spaces have a '90s edge, but in a way that makes us want to live in them.

'I love the 90s; it’s a fun period because of the nostalgia attached to it,' states Laurin. 'While it wasn't my favorite aesthetic time period for design, it was fun to be choosy. We know Elle is forward-thinking and stylish, so we picked elements she would have had that were "good," and others where she might have been a bit ahead of the trend.'

Like on any film set (or in any home for that matter) it's the tiny details that really sell the story. Each corner of Elle's bedroom was decorated intentionally to reflect this character.

Laurin states: 'It’s about giving little nods—like having Blockbuster rentals in living rooms—that people who know will recognize, while still making it feel natural and accessible to younger generations who didn't live through that time.'

The artwork decorating Elle's bedroom on the set is a major reflection of this philosophy. 'We used to cut out images and collage them on our walls or notebooks to express ourselves,' explains Laurin.

She continues: 'In Elle's room, we created a big bulletin board with a collage of models, actresses, fashion trends, and perfume ads. Similarly, we collaged the front of her notebooks with astrology, crystals, and bedazzles—details that are very 90s but people might not think of right away.'

Shop The Pink Bedroom Edit

If watching Elle is making you want to update your interiors with more rosy hues, we can't blame you. Here are our editors' picks for decorating with pink in a way that is playful yet elevated.

At the same time, the lack of focus on interior design in the original film gave Laurin lots of room to play with the aesthetics she wanted to channel in Elle.

She explains: 'When I think of Legally Blonde, I think of her costumes and her personality. I didn't feel married to a particular visual style for her spaces because we only ever see her in her dorm room. Everything else is temporary; she's always out of her element at Harvard or Washington.'

The blue and gray living room of Elle's family home in Seattle speaks to this freedom. As we never get a glimpse inside Elle's family home in Legally Blonde, creating her parents' home was an exercise in pure imagination.

Versus the visual language of Elle's pink bedroom, these spaces feel much darker and more serious. This juxtaposition is intentional.

'What felt most important to carry through was her optimism, the sparkle, and the fact that she’s always "a little extra"—in the best, most genuine way,' says Laurin. 'Whether she’s bedazzling something or scenting her resume, everything is dialed up that extra 10 or 15 percent. We wanted to bring that sparkle and joy to her spaces while supporting the story of where she fits in and where she doesn't.'

However, Laurin's consistent attention to detail weaves throughout this somber home. From period-appropriate appliances to color palettes, the entire house feels plucked from the '90s. As the analogue trend increasingly shapes our interiors, thinking like a production designer on Elle is a useful exercise.

Laurin states: 'We were sure to include things like old VCRs, CD player alarm clocks, and vintage wired phones. We also thought a lot about the lack of devices; because we didn't have smartphones, we had more hard-copy items.'

When I saw the photos of the sets, I was surprised there wasn't more pink; however, as pink is Elle's signature color, this is actually a clever choice by Laurin to make the fashion pop more and let the interiors fade into the background.

'There are two sides to the pink conversation,' explains Laurin. 'I like to think of Elle as a beaming light of pink. Because she’s a fish out of water, the environments around her—like Harvard, with its wood and jewel tones—are often muted or gray.'

She continues: 'We picked a range of pinks: light to medium tones, and a signature raspberry pink. We were careful not to oversaturate the sets so that she wouldn't blend in; Elle knows how to stand out. We also swapped the neon tones often found in the 2000s for accents of lilac to help neutralize the palette. It feels like it meets us in the 90s while remaining accessible to today’s audience—we want them to think, "This is the room I wish I had."'

If you hope to recreate the interiors from the show, a copy-and-paste approach will not take you very far. Instead, Laurin recommends leaning into what you love to create a space that feels full of personality in the same way as Elle's bedroom.

She suggests, 'It comes down to picking a color that makes you feel most like yourself—and if it’s pink, I love that for you! Find ways to add pops of that color in key pieces, like a vase or a piece of art, to give the space extra personality and pizzazz.'

'Also, find nostalgic pieces that bring you joy,' she adds. 'We did a lot of vintage shopping—like finding that specific clear phone with the pink cables—to bring that unique personality into the space. That is very "Elle."'

What does a 'forever' home look like for Carrie Underwood? On a 400-acre farm estate in Franklin, Tennessee, the country singer has created a custom-built residence that feels both timeless and deeply personal, embracing an 'old money' farmhouse aesthetic that extends to every detail – including her kitchen cabinetry.

In this modern farmhouse kitchen, glass-front cabinets transform everyday storage into a curated display, resulting in an aesthetic that wouldn't look out of place in a boutique gallery.

Rather than concealing kitchenware behind solid doors, her design celebrates collected ceramics, heirlooms, and everyday essentials, reflecting a wider shift away from pared-back minimalism and starker storage ideas to something more personal. As design experts explain, beautifully styled glass-fronted kitchen cabinets are redefining how we think about storage going forward.

Shop the Carrie Underwood Kitchen Edit

'Over the past couple of years, we've seen a real shift towards homes that celebrate individuality. Rather than creating spaces that feel overly minimalist or clinical, people are embracing interiors that tell a story, layering color, texture, and meaningful objects that reflect who they are and their way of living,' says Laura Townsend, the design manager at Magnet.

Carrie's kitchen storage is a natural expression of that shift, where the cabinets themselves become part of the decorating scheme rather than simply a place to hide clutter. As Laura explains, the beauty of glass-front cabinetry lies in what it invites you to display.

'Whether it's handcrafted ceramics collected on your travels, artisan glassware or treasured family pieces, displaying these items brings warmth and character into the kitchen, that feels unmistakably you,' she says.

'In many ways, these kitchen cabinets become a living gallery, showcasing the pieces that make a house feel like home.'

She continues: 'From a design perspective, glass cabinetry also introduces a sense of lightness to your kitchen space. Breaking up runs of solid units helps reduce visual weight, creating a kitchen that feels more spacious, layered and inviting. It's a subtle way to add depth and sophistication, particularly in larger kitchen schemes where expanses of cabinetry can otherwise feel heavy.'

As the trend continues to gain momentum, Carrie's kitchen is a reminder that the best storage solutions are as decorative as they are practical.

Luxury in the Cotswolds countryside is notoriously difficult to get right – it can very easily feel too clinical or overly nostalgic. However, David and Victoria Beckham’s Cotswolds bathroom has seemingly found the balance.

The couple's space pairs the ruggedness and tactility of a converted barn with quietly luxurious finishes of a luxury dressing room. Instead of relying on country decor cliches (think mason jars and gingham), they combine rich wood and polished marble to set the benchmark for rural interiors.

To understand why their farmhouse bathroom design resonates so deeply, Marcus Pearson, the head of design at Old London, points to the space's inherent balance.

'The Beckhams’ Cotswolds bathroom has that wonderful tension between traditional farmhouse character and a sharp sense of style and quality,' Marcus says.

'The materials feel rooted in the building, with texture and a sense of age and belonging. While we can’t see entirely what’s there, it’s safe to assume that the wider design language of the home carries through.'

Shop the Luxury Country Bathroom Edit

The appeal of the Beckhams' modern farmhouse style bathroom lies in its restraint. Rather than feeling freshly installed, every surface appears to have softened into the architecture over time.

'We're not looking for anything too modern or obviously new,' Marcus explains. 'This is a bathroom mood built around tactility and a touch of old-house romance. Vintage-inspired details work best when they appear to have grown out of the architecture, rather than been dropped into it.'

That means favoring natural materials with depth and variation over high-gloss finishes. A honed marble countertop, richly grained timber and aged brass all contribute to a scheme that feels quietly luxurious without ever becoming overpowering.

If there's one feature that epitomizes relaxed luxury, it's the bath (even if it's out of shot in Victoria's frame). Rather than opting for a minimalist design, Marcus recommends embracing a more generous silhouette.

'For those with the space, a slipper bath brings the most romantic version of the Victoriana look,' he says. 'With its high, sweeping rim and softly rolled edge, the shape is languid and generous, so it suits a bathroom designed for slow living.'

It's this sense of ease that makes the Beckhams' Cotswolds bathroom so compelling. 'That's the trick with this look, he adds.

'It should feel expensive, but never eager to tell you so. The best version isn't a bathroom full of statement pieces, but a room that behaves as though marble, paneling, soft metalwork and, one suspects, luxuriously fluffy towels are simply the natural order of things. It feels lived-in, not casual; polished, but not pristine. That's what makes it so warm and inviting.'

As one might expect from a historic Lake Como estate, George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra is a study in old-world Italian elegance. However, while the villa’s grand proportions and teal walls command immediate attention, it is the living room's centerpiece – an antique-gold linen sofa – that serves as the ultimate hero piece.

While 'safer' neutrals have long shaped how we decorate our living rooms, George's choice of a rich ochre feels revolutionary. It's a daring color play, yet it perfectly anchors the room's rich patina, proving that statement sofas (similar to this beautiful sofa from Crate & Barrel) don't have to shout to be heard.

To understand why decorating with gold works so beautifully, we turned to Blanca Sanchez, Director of Halo Design Interiors, who explains why stepping away from the safety of beige and grey is a risk always worth taking.

Shop the Cloney-Inspired Gold Edit

'A gold or deep yellow living room sofa is obviously quite the bold choice, but it's one that can completely change the feel of a room if it’s styled properly. Most people choose neutral sofas because they feel safer, but a warmer statement color can actually make a space feel more welcoming, layered and full of personality,' comments Blanca Sanchez, the director of Halo Design Interiors.

'Gold and yellow tones bring warmth into a room and can stop a space from feeling flat, particularly in homes that rely heavily on whites, grays or cooler colors. You just need to choose the right shade. A bright, lemon-yellow sofa can feel overwhelming in some rooms, but deeper shades such as mustard, ochre or antique gold are much easier to live with and have a more timeless quality, plus they work well with a range of interior styles.'

Far from limiting the rest of the room, the sofa's golden tone actually opens up a host of styling possibilities. As Blanca explains, the secret is to treat the piece as the living room's starting point rather than something every other element has to match.

'I’d avoid treating a gold or yellow sofa as a piece that needs to be matched perfectly. Instead, use it as the starting point and build around it with complementary tones,' she explains.

'Deep greens, navy, charcoal, cream and warm browns all work beautifully with gold because they create contrast without competing for attention. Adding cushions or throws in different textures can also help the sofa feel integrated into the room.'

If you've been hesitant to move beyond neutral upholstery, George's living room makes a case for reconsidering. A gold sofa may feel like a bold investment, but when treated as the foundation of a layered scheme (rather than an accent to match), it becomes surprisingly easy to style.

New England gardens are the blueprint for subdued elegance in a greenspace. They are private and manicured, yet with a touch of wildness that blends effortlessly into the surrounding world – and Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's Connecticut planting is an exceptional specimen.

A 2001 photoshoot of the actors' home captured the gorgeous privacy planting surrounding their brick red Westport escape. Littered with evergreen shrubs of different heights, it is functional for blocking the windows yet incredibly charming. From a large viburnum bush to tiny conifers, the planting feels pleasantly unplanned. It is complemented perfectly by stone edging and a pea gravel walkway.

It's a reminder that privacy shrubs don't have to look like a fortress; instead, they can create seclusion while still welcoming wanted guests into the home.

To unpack the multitude of lessons embedded in Paul and Joanne's Connecticut garden, Homes & Gardens consulted with the experts for their top unstructured privacy planting tips. We also curated an edit of the plants and tools you need to recreate the couple's stylish look, no matter where you live. Let's dive in.

Recreate Paul's Look at Home

As opposed to just being about the plants you choose, creating a green wall that is as effective as Paul and Joanne's requires close attention to the cottage garden layout. Will Etheridge, Founder & Owner at Raleigh Tree Service states: 'The biggest piece of advice I can give your readers is: Do not plant in a straight line. If you plant trees in a single, tight row and one tree gets sick or dies, it leaves a "missing tooth" in your privacy wall that is almost impossible to replace symmetrically.'

Layering your shrubs and trees is essential to replicating their look. 'Stagger your planting in a zigzag or multi-layered matrix,' advises Will. 'For example, place a row of taller evergreens (like Green Giants) in the back, and offset a second row of smaller, ornamental trees (like Little Gem Magnolias or native Dogwoods) or dense evergreen shrubs in front of the gaps.'

He explains: 'This creates a more natural woodland look rather than a rigid green wall. It also provides airflow between the plants, which reduces fungal diseases and gives you room to replace a single plant down the road without ruining the entire design.'

Rather than planning carefully, think of planting like Paul and Joanne is more like creating a collage of greenery rather than a strict layout. Mirela Bajic, Senior Garden Designer at House Designer, tells Homes & Gardens: 'Designing with privacy plants is straightforward. I always think in layers, not just a single row. I mix evergreens with flowering shrubs so there is always something happening. In privacy planting, height matters a lot, but so does width.'

Gorgeous, layered New England-style privacy planting is the perfect idea to take your home to the next level. For inspiration, you can always turn to Paul and Joanne's house.

Great interior design does not always need to be groundbreaking or avant-garde; often, simplicity reigns supreme. This is beautifully illustrated in Eva Mendes's neutral living room. By embracing the timeless elegance of greige, she has created a stunning space that feels particularly breezy and inviting for the warm summer months of 2026.

The actor – famous for her roles in The Place Beyond the Pines and Hitch – shared an Instagram video showing off her sun-drenched space. The room centers around a greige living room sofa layered with neutral accent pillows and light, summer-friendly throw blankets.

Greige – a clever portmanteau of 'gray' and 'beige' – describes a color that sits right between these two classic neutral shades. In Mendes's home, darker greige curtains offer a sophisticated contrast to the crisp, white-painted walls, while a small potted tree introduces a refreshing splash of summer greenery.

While decorating with greige is a popular choice, it remains a favorite for a reason. This soft blend beautifully unites warm and cool tones, making it an incredibly versatile base that pairs effortlessly with vibrant seasonal colors or other muted shades.

'Neutrals are incredibly versatile, harmonizing with a wide range of styles from modern and minimalist to traditional and rustic,' says designer Nina Lichtenstein, commenting on the palette's enduring appeal. 'They serve as a perfect backdrop for any personal touches or bold statement pieces you might want to incorporate.'

Another standout feature in the room is the lush potted tree positioned behind Mendes, which perfectly complements the summer season and grounds the neutral palette in nature.

Lichtenstein notes that bringing the outdoors inside is one of the most effective ways to elevate a neutral space. 'Bring in elements from nature to add organic beauty and texture,' she states.

'Potted indoor plants, wooden furniture, and stone accessories can create a harmonious and balanced look. Greenery, in particular, adds a fresh and lively touch to a neutral setting.'

Although often overlooked, thoughtful lighting is essential for making a neutral palette feel dynamic rather than flat. 'Thoughtful living room lighting design can transform everything,' Lichtenstein says.

'Use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Consider lamps, wall sconces, and pendant lights to add both function and style.'

She continues, 'We can see that Mendes has utilized natural light to give the space an airy feel, with big windows featuring half-open curtains.' This abundance of natural sunshine is ideal for capturing that bright, carefree summer aesthetic.

To recreate this airy aesthetic in your own home, consider introducing reflective surfaces to maximize both light and style. 'Incorporate mirrors and other reflective surfaces to enhance the sense of space and light,'

Lichtenstein suggests. 'A strategically placed mirror can make a room feel larger and more open while also adding an elegant touch.' Ultimately, neutrals remain a timeless design choice for any room, and as Mendes demonstrates, they look exceptionally elegant in a living area. For an extra touch of seasonal comfort, try layering lightweight, textured pieces – such as a woven cotton blanket or a tactile boucle cushion – to keep the space feeling cozy yet light and breezy all summer long.
