Arches, whether in the form of windows or doorways, are architectural details often associated with elegance—and they’re currently trending. They’re timeless when they align with the home’s bones, according to Tracy Kurc, founder of Tracy Kurc Interiors. However, she warns against retrofitting them into every doorway.
“Trend-forward design without restraint doesn’t make a home feel luxurious; it makes it feel overworked,” she says.

"The best outdoor kitchens aren't just about cooking-they're about living," says Tracy Kurc of Tracy Kurc Interiors. "A truly great outdoor space flexes effortlessly: morning coffee, weeknight BBQs, latenight dinner parties under the stars. It's beyond the grill. It's about hosting, lounging, and encouraging you to live outside."

“According to Kurc, choosing a palette should be more about serving the space rather than chasing trends. “The most timeless interiors aren’t frozen in time; they evolve slowly and thoughtfully.” The designer advises considering whether the color will elevate the architecture and mood of the space.”
