Mint is soft, but it doesn’t have to be timid.

I’ve been thinking about why this particular blue-green can feel glamorous and a little strange in one room, and clinical or juvenile in another. My conclusion: mint needs commitment.

The latest Color Considered is about going all in—color drenching, rich woods, burnished brass, raw silk, moiré, and enough contrast to give mint a little backbone.

We spend so much time with every decision and every construction detail that seeing it all finished never really gets old. There’s still a little bit of magic in finally standing in the room we’ve been thinking about for so long.

A good before, during, and after! This builder grade condo kitchen was in need of a refresh in quality and personality. We love and appreciate our clients willing to take these risks in their space with us!⁠

Very excited to be included in Forbes talking about a subject I have plenty of thoughts on: color.

I love thinking about why we’re drawn to certain colors, watching them come in and out of fashion, and seeing what color forecasting says about where we are culturally. Do I think we all need to redecorate because someone declared a new Color of the Year? Probably not.

Trends are information, not instructions, and I’m much more interested in why a color is resonating than whether it’s officially “in.”

Curious where everyone else lands on this. Do you pay attention to Color of the Year announcements, or have we officially reached Color of the Year fatigue?

Thanks to R. Daniel Foster for including me in your piece - https://www.forbes.com/sites/rdaniel-foster/2026/09/15/color-of-the-year-fatigue-is-real/

As much as I love finding a textile I’ve never seen before, there’s something interesting about patterns that have remained relevant for hundreds of years. Toile de Jouy became wildly popular in the late 18th century, traditionally with monochromatic scenes printed on a light background.

It’s storytelling through pattern, which is probably why it has had such staying power. And here we are, still putting toile on the walls, just in a modern way.

Knowing what you don’t like can be just as useful as knowing what you do.

We ask clients a lot of questions at the beginning of a project, and some of the most helpful answers are the immediate no’s. A color you’ve never liked, a material that feels too precious, a room you love but would never want to live in. Those reactions tell us something.

You don’t need to come to us with a perfectly defined style or a folder of inspiration that all makes sense together. Part of our job is figuring out the through line between what you’re drawn to, what you avoid, and how you actually want your home to feel. The specifics are usually where things start to get interesting.

A room without friction is a room without feeling. The balance is what⁠ makes it livable. The tension is what makes it memorable.⁠
⁠
This primary suite really shows that. The bedroom stays soft and quiet. A canopy bed, layered bedding, a little moody but still calm. The bathroom leans all the way in. Pink and iridescent tile, marble floors, an oxblood vanity. More is more, in the best way.⁠

They’re sisters, not twins. And they get along just fine.⁠

There's a new Interior Motives Substack out tomorrow. This one is about how I build a design concept, and how a client’s tastes, needs, and sometimes conflicting ideas start to form a story for their home.

These three rooms from our Lakeshore project are at the front of the unit and all face the lake, but each has its own personality. I don’t think a home needs one overarching theme and we love to assign a specific purpose and vibe to each room.

There’s also a peek at some of the moods and themes taking shape in our latest projects. Subscribe on Substack if you aren’t already!

The best results come when we’re able to think about the home as a whole. A floor plan affects the cabinetry, the cabinetry affects the lighting, and all of it eventually affects the furniture, color, art, and details that make the house feel like you.

That’s why most of our work is comprehensive, whether we’re renovating an existing home, starting from the ground up, or furnishing a home in its entirety. We work alongside the architects, builders, and craftspeople involved so we can follow those decisions all the way through.

If you have a home project on the horizon, you can start the conversation through our inquiry form- https://www.sarah-montgomery.com/contact

Still very into this pink bathroom. The iridescent pink tile, marbled floor, burgundy vanity with oversized white hardware... there’s a lot going on, but it all works together.

Our client is a self-proclaimed bath person, so we gave the tub its own tiled arch and added French shower doors, which I’m now convinced every shower needs. We also refinished their vintage dental chest for a little patina and some very necessary storage.

Very thankful for clients who trust us enough to really go for it.
