Summary
If you’ve ever saved a home photo on Instagram and thought, “Love this…but why doesn’t it work in my house?”... this episode explains exactly why. On this week’s Springs and Things, we sit down with Elisha Niebuhr, CEO of Modern Interior Company , to unpack what actually works in Colorado Springs homes, and what we should probably stop copying from New York, Austin, and Pinterest altogether. Elisha shares her unexpected path from professional ballerina to luxury interior designer, then gets very real about the most common design mistakes she sees across the Springs. She explains how our light, landscape, and lifestyle completely change how trends show up here, and why homes should feel lived-in, layered, and personal instead of themed. We also cover the easiest upgrades with the biggest payoff (paint, lighting, and furniture that actually finishes a space), underrated neighborhoods with serious design potential, and what a true Colorado-inspired color palette looks like heading into 2026. Fair warning: you may finish this episode looking around your house thinking, “Okay…we need to talk about this wall.” PICKS OF THE WEEK Prime25 Boonzaaijer's Dutch Bakery Modern Interior Co Design Day and Furniture Sale WE LOVE OUR SPONSORS Vanguard Aesthetics Vanguard Aesthetics helps clients discover their most radiant selves by blending expert care with individualized beauty.
