A VIEW INTO RECENT PRESS
"The key to durability, longevity, and dependability is natural products," says interior designer Joe Waroquier. "I consistently depend on stone, brick, and other products that are stable and provide a solid structure while also providing a timeless aesthetic and outliving trends."
'In coastal New England, and Nantucket in particular, there’s a strong affinity for soft, weathered tones that reflect the island’s natural palette – think driftwood grays, dune beiges, crisp whites, and classic Nantucket blues,' adds interior designer, Joe Waroquier. 'These colors echo the shingled architecture, seagrass-dotted landscapes, and misty Atlantic light that define the region.'
“When creating a fall-infused interior, I focus on layering colors and textures that evoke the season’s warmth without feeling literal,” Waroquier said. By pairing earthy tones with natural materials, including wool, linen, leather, and raw wood, a homeowner can “create a space that feels cozy, grounded, and inviting, perfectly aligned with the mood people often want in fall: comfort, intimacy, and a subtle connection to nature.”
Harvest-inspired decor, when it contains natural elements, is majorly back in style this season, explains Joe Waroquier, the founder of Joe Waroquier HOME. He recommends using gourds, branches, and dried florals and making sure that they are styled with "restraint and artistry, moving away from kitschy displays toward arrangements that feel organic and sculptural."
Designer Joe Waroquier also highlighted a lamp as his best bedroom purchase – two matching antique chinoiserie lamps, in fact. 'Bedside lamps are an absolute must, and why not let them make a statement,' Joe tells me. 'They have elevated the room and have given the room a fresh 'New Romantic' feeling for the changes of seasons ahead.'
