What does luxury mean to you in 2026?
Luxury to us means creating spaces that are elevated, yet relaxed and serene, enhancing the experience of everyday living. Known for our use of calming color palettes, harmonious tones, rich textures, and layers of natural materials, we strive to create spaces that inspire, encourage gathering and sharing, while evoking a sense of tranquility.
What trends or shifts are most influencing your work right now?
We have never followed design trends. Since our inception, our firm has specialized in—and quickly become known for—creating restorative spaces. Our goal is to craft a calm escape, whether modern or transitional in style, always with an emphasis on ease of living. We believe good design is timeless, supports well-being, and reflects a client’s lifestyle.
How do you ensure every project feels personal and distinctive?
The goal with any project is to deliver a highly personalized experience, tailored to each client’s unique lifestyle, stage of life, and location of the home. We spend a lot of time with our clients in the discovery and development phases of our process, really getting to know them. That exploratory time informs our design, allowing us to incorporate unique elements. With projects spanning from Malibu to Scottsdale, Lake Geneva, and the North Shore lakefront, each project and client presents a unique opportunity to create spaces that feel personal to them.
Sarah Dippold Design is located at 906 Green Bay Road in Winnetka. For more information, call 847-867-0571, visit sarahdippold.com, and follow @sarahdippolddesign on Instagram.
