In this episode of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire, I’m joined by award-winning interior designer Debbe Daley for a rich, eye-opening conversation about design trends, the return of vintage, and how to use it with intention in both home staging and interior design.
We dive into what’s actually happening in design right now—from wall color shifts to the vintage décor making a powerful comeback—and how to blend old and new in a way that feels elevated, curated, and market-smart.
Debbe also shares where she sources her favorite vintage finds, and how she repurposes pieces that might have sentimental value
If you’re a stager or designer who wants to stay ahead of trends while creating spaces that feel soulful, layered, and special—this episode is for you.
