Who else is tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter images flooding Pinterest and Instagram? Your interiors should capture your meaningful moments—not follow fleeting trends or copied-paste online designs. As we step into 2025 and beyond, our homes have the opportunity to tell stories that are richer, more personal, and deeply reflective of who we are. This is my why and the heart of my design brand, Poetic Modernism®. It’s time to lean into our individuality—to let go of the pressure to chase fleeting trends and instead focus on creating spaces that honor what feels right, what sparks awe, and what nurtures well-being.
Interiors need to evolve into more than just curated aesthetics—to become soulful reflections of the lives lived within them, the moments cherished, and the emotions felt. I’m excited to see this shift grow—where every space feels intentional, authentic, and deeply connected to the people it serves.
Poetic Modernism®, Michele Alfano Design’s design brand and style that celebrates individuality, crafting interiors that reflect who you are, while nurturing a sense of care, positivity, and emotional connection.
Our signature blend of serene minimalism with bold expression invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and pay attention to the moments that leave you in awe—those profound experiences sparked by a cherished vacation, a moving piece of art, or the calming simplicity of nature.
The above space embodies serene boldness, balancing dramatic charred wood wallpaper and an olive velvet sofa with soft, natural elements like warm textiles, greenery, and abundant natural light. Inspired by the feeling of being in a forest, it tells a story of individuality, and care—nurturing both the senses and the soul in a space designed to feel deeply personal and intentionally comforting.
When interior design engages your senses and mirrors these moments of awe in a tactile, visual, and visceral way, your space transforms. It becomes more than just a room—it becomes a reflection of you.
Let us help you create residential and commercial interiors that feel nurturing, positive, and uniquely yours.
