The “White Lotus” aesthetic has influenced interiordesignaccents such as jade andlatticeworkonfurniture
Timeless vs.Trendy: Howto Renovate
Lasting Style
FROM ‘WHITE LOTUS’CHIC TO ORGANIC MODERNISM
BY RICHARDA.MARINI
Homeremodelsare expensiveand surprisingly time-consuming.Not somethingyou want to do often. And certainlynot somethingyou want to have to redo becausethe furnishings, fixtures,colors or textures that youselectedagedquickly and poorly
Canyou sayslidingbarndoorsand Edison lightbulbs?
To styleyourplace so theresultistimelesslyfashionable andnot passingly faddish,it canpay to call in an expert.Aninteriordesigner,experienced builder or architectcan ensure your renovatedhomecomfortably fits your lifestyle andyourbudget.
So we calledsomeofSan Antonio’sbestto tell us theirfavoritehomedesigntrendsthat will bringyou joyfor years.
‘Lotus’ Seeds
Hollywood hasalwaysinfluencedfashion,and that,inturn, affectshomedesigntrends. Carla Royder says that Season 3of“TheWhite Lotus,”the hitHBO series aboutrichpeople
behaving poorly,will no doubtalsobea ratingshit forthe interior design industry
“The whiteinteriors we’veseen over the past fewyears,withboucles andeucalyptus trees,will be replaced with lavish silks, jewel tonesand palm trees,” said theowner of CarlaRoyderDesign. “We’ll also seejade andmalachite in accessories,latticework on furnituredetails,wallmuralsdepicting chinoiserieand trimsonour drapes.”
Thegood news is that Season 4of“The WhiteLotus”has alreadybeen greenlit (there’s that jade andmalachite)byHBO anditwill probably airsometimein2026— just in time to redo your livingroom again.
Moody hues
Afteryears of beingPinterest Nation’s go-to colorchoice, gray,inall itsboringlyneutral glory, is finally on theway out. Instead, we’ll be seeing richer,moodiercolorsfor owners whoyearn to create cozy,intimateand personal spaces in theirhomes
Julie Risman,owner andleaddesigner of TheInsideStory Design,saidshe’s using colors that arebolder, even nervy, such as
deep teal blues, muddy greens, earthy terracottasand chocolatybrowns.
To getthe best of thesecolors, sheoften chooses theclay-basedpaint Farrow& Ball of England. Amongher favorites: Inchyra Blue,Treron, Pigeon,Setting Plasterand Down Pipe
“Their paints aresosaturated andbeautiful,”she said.“Unfortunately, they arenot inexpensive.”
Hownot inexpensive? Accordingtothe companywebsite,a gallonofpaint sellsfor well over $100. Toorich? Risman also suggestspaintsfromBenjaminMoore(she likesthe company’sHaleNavy) andSherwin-Williams (IronOre andUrbaneBronze)
Kitchen mixers
While homeowners arecraving more color, they also seem more willingtobreak hoary kitchendecoratingrules,accordingtoShea Pumarejo,CEO of Younique Designs.
“Mostofuswouldn’tgoout andbuy a matching suiteoflivingroomfurniture,” shesaid. “Eclecticismuchmoreinteresting than when everything’s coordinated.”

BY SALLIELEWIS
You mightknowSan Antonio-based interiorsguruKim Wolfeasthe Host andDesignerofHGTV’s“Whythe Heck DidI BuyThisHouse?” or herdominanceon“Survivor.” Or perhapsyou’ve been amongthe droves of fans perusing the AfricanKubaCloths, Italianpaper notebooksand otherworldly treasuresonview at thedesigner’sFirst Friday pop-ups.
Themotherofthree andfounder of WolfeHomehas accomplisheda lotinher career,embracing change,creativechallenges andnow anew chapterofprofessional growth
Forstarters, in February Wolfesurprised fans with theannouncement shewouldn’t be continuing herhit show fora third season.Thissummer, she’salsoshuttering thedoorstoher belovedOlmos Park shop aftera multiyearrun at retail.
Asecond living area became acozyoffice and lounge when Kim Wolfe transformed a“bad, split-level house” into her family’s home.
In the family room, the wall color is DownpipebyFarrowand Ball, the sectional is custom from Hooker, and thelighted white oakcabinetsare also Hooker.
“Lifemoves in seasons, andthishas been areally funone,but it feelsliketime,”she said,admiringthe airy venue, with its gleaming garage doorsand soaringceilings “I thinka lotinterms of browserwindows, andfor me,thisspace is ahandful of open browserwindows that Ican’t manage well. My kids are9,10and 11 rightnow,solifeis very,veryfull.”
Locals andvisitorswho experienced oneofher FirstFridaygatheringsinrecent yearsmight’vefelttransported to the ruggedrealmsofRound Top, with its relaxedyet inviting curation of thedesigner’s collected wares.

“I likethingstobeunfussy,comfortable andlived in,” shesaid. “I thinkthat’skindof theRound Topway.”
Growingup, Wolfeand herfamily movedoften,following herfather’scareer as afootballcoach.Their transientbackground,relocatingfromhouse to houseand town to town foreachjob,taughther valuable lessons.
“Homeisnot abuildingora particular structurebut somethingyou cantakewith youand create anywhere It’s about making thebestofwhatyou have,” she said.“We were always on ashoestring budget,but it wassoimportant to my mom that we allhad roomsand it felt specialto us That’s abig part of howI endedup doingwhatI do.”
By moving awasher-dryer, Wolfe added space to the small kitchen. Thewhite oakisland is both functional and astatementpiece.
Theensuite bathroom addition includes greenmarble from Triton, Julian Chichester mirrors,matte whiteplumbing fixturesfromJaclo,and all fireclay tile
The exterior of the 2,000-square-foot house in the Northwood neighborhood “that no one wanted” is softened with Confederate Jasmine. “I’m abig outdoors girl and feel best when I’m in nature,” Wolfe says.
Lookingback, shecan still remember hermotherstaple-gunning cowhiderugs onto thewalls of theirhomes and, in one instance,hanging drop cloths from Michaels inside herchildhood bedroomto coverthe unsightlydinosaurmuralsleftby aprevioustenant.
“Itfeltlikea tent camp in Botswana,” sherememberedofthe cozy,reimagined space, with itsdramatically draped fabric “Thatwas my childhood —everythingwas green carpet or Formica— nothingwas neworhighend,soI love helpingwith spaces likethat.”

“Withthe show,I wasdoing sevenor eighthousesatoncein24weeks, so you’re lookingat16to20bathrooms, eightkitchens, eightfamily rooms, eightentryways, anditwas just drinking througha fire hose,” shesaidofthe experience.“It wasso much fun, butI felt spread thin creatively.”
Aftertwo seasons, Wolfeand herhusband,Bryan,had renovated15houses, only to return home to an uninspiringhomeof theirown
“I felt likeI haddonehomes foreveryoneelse, andour family wasina badrental
—nobodyhad aspecial space, andnobody wanted to be there,”she said.“It wasthe opposite of what Iwas preaching.”
To remedy thesituation,the couple went to work renovating aroughly 2,000square-foot residenceinSan Antonio’s Northwood neighborhood
“Itwas abad,split-level housethatno onewantedand very much likethe houses from theshow,”she said of theproperty. “It’ssuper tiny forour family of five,but it’s really efficient.”
Outside, Wolfesoftenedthe split-level’s unappealingconcretestaircase by planting fragrant,fast-growingConfederate Jasmine alongthe side walls
“I’m abig outdoors girl andfeel best when I’minnature, so I’malwayslooking forwaystomakemyinteriors feel more connected to theoutside,” shesaid. “I love skylightsand suntunnels Naturallight is such abig deal to me.”
