2026 Annual

2026 opens with a shift we’ve been noticing for some time: homeowners know what they want, and designers are meeting them with smarter, more thoughtful solutions. Innovation is accelerating, materials are improving, and products once considered out of reach are now part of everyday renovations. With so many possibilities, the world of interiors feels more open than ever — a space for experimentation, preference and personality.

Uncommon

This issue, we shine a spotlight on creativity and individuality, celebrating spaces that tell stories, evoke emotions, and reflect what makes us unique. “Uncommon,” is a simple yet powerful question: How do we continue to innovate, to stay true to our vision while reimagining the familiar and exploring new possibilities? From seasoned designers to emerging talents, we uncover bold ideas and strategies that challenge conventions and inspire fresh perspectives. Beyond design, this issue also explores the journey from passion to purpose across industries, showcasing five local businesses that have turned their visions into meaningful, memorable experiences.
