Redefine

"Redefine" is not just a style; it's a journey through time. Imagine a space where the glamour of Art Deco meets the functionality of Mid-Century Modern, the vibrancy of the 1960s, the comfort of the 1970s and the innovation of the 21st century - all seamlessly blended into one. This trend is about creating interiors that are a rich tapestry of the past yet fully grounded in the present.

Homeowners and designers are now empowered to mix and match elements from different eras to craft nostalgic and forward-thinking spaces. "Redefine" is about paying homage to the rich history of design while embracing the convenience and aesthetics of today. Join Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery in celebrating this eclectic and transformative approach to interior design, where every space tells a story of a century.

At the heart of my design philosophy is redefining clients’ homes beyond transient trends, crafting spaces that endure in both quality and purpose.I embrace the principle of ‘less is more’, honing in on what truly matters. The caliber of materials is paramount; they aren’t just functional but are celebrated as distinct features that imbue each space with a unique character. Everyday elements like plumbing fixtures, hardware, and appliances are more than mere details – they are daily interactions.By choosing materials like solid brass, and designs that delight the touch, we redefine not just the space but the entire user experience. In essence, redefining a home is about redefining the quality of everyday life. –Brian Brown, Principal Designer, Brian Brown Studio, on Redefine

Curate

"Curate" isn't just about selecting elements; it's about creating a personalized narrative through one's choices. This trend pushes the boundaries of customization, focusing on meticulously chosen details that uniquely make a homeowner's kitchen and bath theirs.

Envision a kitchen where every utensil, piece of cookware and appliance is handpicked to align with a homeowner's culinary style or a bathroom where the tiles, fixtures and linens come together to create a personal retreat. "Curate" in kitchen and bath spaces is about more than functionality; it's about crafting an environment that resonates with a homeowner's taste and lifestyle.

This trend encourages homeowners to work closely with designers to achieve a truly bespoke space. Whether it's a kitchen that seamlessly integrates cooking and socializing, or a bathroom that feels like a personal spa, "Curate" offers endless possibilities to personalize these essential spaces.

Curating is the art of distilling the chaos of creativity into a refined and meaningful experience. It’s about selecting the gems from the clutter, revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary. For me, it’s not just a trend; it’s a guiding principle. We find beauty in the details and purpose in the selection and tell stories through our creations. 'Curate,' to me, is a testament to the power of thoughtful design to make the owner have a sense of exclusivity and sense of accomplishment. –Dorothy Alon, Principal of Sophea Interior Design, on Curate

Elevate

"Elevate" is a philosophy that champions the art of selective luxury. This trend focuses on enhancing what homeowners value most: glamour, comfort, brand prestige or a unique style signature.

Envision kitchens and bathrooms where every detail reflects personal indulgence and sophistication. "Elevate" is about making deliberate, conscious choices to transform these spaces into bespoke havens. It's not about chasing the latest fads or embracing dramatic designs; it's about understated, conscious luxury.

It encourages homeowners to focus on what luxury means to them and to manifest it in every aspect of their kitchen and bathroom spaces. Embrace "Elevate" to transform a home into an upscale, personalized retreat, where every detail is a testament to a homeowner's taste and lifestyle.

In the realm of design, the concept of 'Elevate' embodies a philosophy rooted in purposeful living. Every space in a home design becomes a canvas reflecting individual priorities and a steadfast dedication to excellence. 'Elevate' is not just a word; it encapsulates an unwavering commitment to transcending the ordinary. We must strive to go beyond mere aesthetics, shaping spaces that encapsulate the true essence of luxury and intentional design. Within our craft, growth and elevation are intertwined with a constant challenge to the status quo. Our aim is clear — each home we conceive is more than a mere structure; it stands as a testament to the art of refined living. –Matt Connolly, Pike Properties on Elevate

Reclaim

"Reclaim" is about embracing designs and accessories perennially in vogue, focusing on longevity in form and function. Anchored in the use of eco-friendly materials, classic furnishings and lasting décor choices, the "Reclaim" trend is not just about beauty; it's about sustainability and practicality.

Think of using sustainable resources that benefit both the kitchen and bath environment. Incorporate biophilic elements to bring the tranquility of nature indoors. Invest in durable, energy-efficient appliances, smart home technologies that adapt to a homeowner's needs, and water-saving fixtures. These choices aren't just eco-conscious; they're smart, long-term investments.

And "Reclaim" isn't just about functionality. It's also about style. Emphasize clean lines and subtle details in lighting, hardware and décor to capture the essence of this trend. By choosing elements that embody the "Reclaim" philosophy, homeowners can create kitchen and bath spaces that are both environmentally responsible and timelessly elegant.

Reclaiming the past to redefine the future.... In the world of interior design, 'Reclaim' isn’t just a trend; it’s a powerful ethos, a celebration of heritage and a conscious effort toward sustainable living. It’s about cherishing vintage pieces, repurposing forgotten treasures, and breathing new life into spaces. As a designer, I find it crucial to help guide my clients in this journey of rediscovery. By embracing 'Reclaim,' we not only create unique, narrative-driven, character-rich interiors but also contribute to a more eco-conscious world. It’s not just about design; it’s a commitment to telling stories, preserving memories, and crafting spaces that resonate with the soul. –Rydhima Brar, Luxury Interior Designer and Owner R/terior Studio on Reclaim
