CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - If your home feels a bit too much like a sterile showroom, you aren’t alone. Colleen Bute Bennett, Founder and Principal Designer at CBB Design Firm joins QC Life to talk about how the design world is officially moving away from the cold, overly coordinated, all-white and gray interiors of the last decade. Instead, homeowners are embracing warmer, more personal, and layered spaces that reflect the actual people who live there.
As you look to refresh your space, Bennett shares five key shifts defining this new era of home design:
1. Brown Is the New Gray
2. White Isn’t Out; Cold White Is
3. Color Is Back, But It’s Grown Up

4. Stop Matching Everything
5. Personality Is the New Luxury
