Quiet luxury dominated the conversation about elevated interiors throughout the early 2020s, but now, we're looking for something softer. As 2026 marches on, homeowners are embracing cozy, cocooning interiors that represent their families and convey their interests. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's Connecticut home is the perfect example.
A glimpse into their Westport living room is a masterclass in richly layered interiors – it centers on a stone fireplace with decor on the mantle, chairs and sofas layered with floral cushions, and a miniature gallery wall. Paul and Joanne have added a wicker basket of wood by the fireplace, and small stools piled with magazines and books. Every detail feels like a part of the couple's life, and every day routine.
