I’m looking for quotes from US-based interior designers or kitchen designers about the rise of ‘Recency-core’ thanks to TV shows like Bridgerton and movies such as Wuthering Heights. How can you bring elements of this trend into the kitchen (along the lines of ornate mirrors, velvet bar stools, silver tea ware, even a chinoiserie pattern on the wall for example)? Are there any rules to follow about colors, pattern or material to use? How can you create a refined look that still feels fresh in the homes of today?

I’m looking for quotes from US-based designers, rug brands or textile experts about the rules for layering rugs in a living room. What sort of spaces can this look work in (traditional/modern/large/small)? What kind of aesthetic can this look achieve and does it serve a practical purpose - defining a seating area for example? What style/pattern/colors/materials of rugs work best for this look?
