This week we are bringing you two special bonus episodes recorded live at the third annual Fenimore Lane Design Summit, with the first welcoming listeners to a conversation exploring one of the most transformative elements of interior design: light.

Presented by The Shade Store, and moderated by Grace Beuley Hunt, Home & Design Editor at LUXE Interiors + Design, this discussion brings together three celebrated designers, to examine how window treatments shape the mood, comfort, and architecture of a home. Our guests are Victoria Hagan, Founder, Victoria Hagan Interiors, Jennifer Hunter, Founder, Jennifer Hunter Design, and Lee Ann Thornton, Founder, Lee Ann Thornton Interiors.

From balancing beauty and practicality to designing around natural light from the very beginning of a project, the panel explores how drapery, shades, texture, and proportion influence the way we experience a space. Along the way, the designers share their approaches to creating warmth, intimacy, and atmosphere, as well as the trends and innovations shaping the category today.

Whether you're renovating a home, designing a single room, or simply fascinated by the details that make great interiors feel effortless, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at the art of designing with light.
