(Transcript Snippet) Home Design Trends for 2024: Organic, Moody, and Personalized
Caroline Broderick: Kerrie Kelly, thank you so much for joining me, please introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Kerrie Kelly: Hi Caroline, it's great to be here. I'm an interior designer, and I've owned my firm for 28 years. And I came up through the ranks of Ralph Lauren home collection, as well as Del Webb Corporation, always really remaining closely tied to our organizations like the National Kitchen and Bath Association, as well as the American Society of Interior Designers. And today, my work has really moved more toward a brand consultant, and an interior design partner.

Every space can benefit from organic design from bedrooms, two bathrooms to kitchens, and especially our outdoor spaces. So it's a great thing to include.
Broderick: And an element that I've heard designers talk about as well, when it comes to organic things is texture. Designers are loving texture. And obviously stone provides this lovely texture. Can you maybe talk a little bit about that to us?
