About this episode

This episode discusses how to thoughtfully mix materials in interior design to create depth and personality in a home.

Thoughtfully mixing materials is what gives an interior depth, warmth, and personality. In this episode of the Dear Alice Interior Design Podcast, we're sharing how we mix flooring, cabinetry, stone, wallpaper, paint, lighting, and hardware to create layered and cohesive interiors. From choosing wood versus stone flooring to mixing cabinet finishes, adding warmth at eye level, and combining lighting and hardware finishes, we break down the design decisions that make a home feel collected rather than overly matched. Whether you're building, remodeling, or simply looking for better ways to finish your home, this episode is full of practical interior design advice.
