“Classic design with a nod to current trends makes for a beautiful home, as seen in the 2023 Inspiration Home. To unify the look for this house, the directive for the designers was just soft, warm colors. Most people won’t realize that seven different designers worked on the main level.”
— Becky Umphrey, design liaison
