My Sunday plans? Put down my phone and pick up a puzzle and paint brush—though, not at the same time. Perhaps I’ll even dip into one of the soon-to-be everywhere colors on our recent guest editors’ radar… —Lindsey DeSimone, senior editor, content strategy

Forward Thinking

We asked guest editors Amanda Knorr, Benjamin Reynaert, Mimi Shin, Molly Kidd, Nick Spain, and Sam Klemick: What’s the next…

Color you expect to see everywhere?

Greens and blues are my absolute favorites. I love a good pop of yellow too, especially against said blues and greens. —Amanda Knorr, founder Knosen Antiques

Purple. It’s polarizing yet lovely. —Benjamin Reynaert, stylist

I’m really ready to stop seeing earth tones and start seeing more wines and reds. I’d like to see primary colors like blue, red, and yellow, too. See the Loewe FW 2026 show by our American boys from Proenza Schouler and Prada. —Mimi Shin, interior designer

Dusty blue feels like a neutral in disguise: atmospheric, slightly nostalgic, and endlessly livable. It brings color into a space without disrupting it. —Molly Kidd, interior designer

Royal purple has been feeling fresh to me lately in a way I never would’ve anticipated. —Nick Spain, interior and garden designer

Aqua, like Tiffany blue. It’s a slightly off shade that is neither green nor blue, and it reminds me of a beautiful sky. —Sam Klemick, furniture designer

Material or pattern to get its moment?

Wallpaper is back with a vengeance, and I’m basking in it. —Amanda

Porphyry—it’s a type of rock similar to granite that has crystals embedded within it. Miles Redd has brought it back in his collection for The Lacquer Company. —Ben

Classical patterns that evoke the old world, like damask and vintage tapestries—think castles. —Mimi

Mohair has that rare balance of durability and indulgence. It catches light in a way that feels almost alive—subtle, shifting, tactile. As interiors lean more sensory and less purely visual, materials that invite touch are leading. Mohair adds warmth and dimension without feeling heavy or overly formal. —Molly

I’ve been longing for more paisley in the world. I love how it lives somewhere between kookiness and formality, casualness and elegance. It’s a quality I strive for in my own work. —Nick Spain

Pearls have been having a huge moment. I think people are ready to feel like they are living in a shell. —Sam

Small detail that deserves big attention?

Hardware, pulls, and knobs. Upgrading them changes everything. —Amanda

Pillow corners. There are many types and styles of pillow corners—knife edge, piped, flange, or even Turkish (my favorite!). Have fun with them and try something different. —Ben...
