THE INSIDE LOOK by Susan Calabria Design

WINTER EDITION

The New Year feels like a clean slate—an invitation to refresh our spaces with intention and quiet confidence. This season’s color story is rich yet timeless: bordeaux for depth and warmth, midnight blue for drama, deep forest green for grounding calm, softened by ivory white and touches of silver for light and balance. These hues layer beautifully to create interiors that feel renewed and enduring. My hope is that they inspire a thoughtful start to the year—elegant, comforting, and uniquely yours.

Here’s What’s Trending Now:

New Year, Bold Beginnings.

Bordeaux is stepping into the spotlight as a sophisticated alternative to classic neutrals—rich, warm, and endlessly inviting. Whether layered with velvet pillows or as a dramatic wall moment, this hue adds depth and confidence without overwhelming the space.

Shades of Red

Ivory White

Ivory white brings a timeless, soft glow to living rooms, wrapping the space in warmth without ever overwhelming it. Its subtle elegance enhances natural light and creates a calm, cohesive backdrop for any style.

Midnight Blue

Midnight blue continues to shine as a standout color trend, bringing depth, drama, and timeless sophistication to interiors. In this space, the rich blue walls paired with warm brass accents and soft marble create a luxurious, jewel-box effect that feels both bold and elegant.

Deep Forest Green

Deep forest green adds a calm, grounding presence to any space. Inspired by nature, its rich depth brings a sense of ease and quiet sophistication, whether layered on walls, woven into upholstery, or used as a subtle accent. The result is an interior that feels serene, balanced, and effortlessly elevated.
