Deep Dive with Dara & Alexa Hampton

What started out as interior designer Alexa Hampton’s first apartment as a single twentysomething has grown into a five-bedroom family home that she may never, ever leave. Schumacher’s Creative Director and Frederic's Editor-in-Chief, Dara Caponigro sits down with Hampton to discuss its decades-long evolution. Think: embracing color and turning what she says became a “palace of doors” into a cohesive floor plan. The renowned designer also has recommendations for viewers thinking about combining apartments or wondering how to stage a renovation.

I hate it when I don't get notified. Huge admirer of both these women and their careers. These interviews are great because they appear to be chats between not just peers but friends.

Beautiful apartment, elegant yet simple and restful 👏

OMG what a great treasure of information. I particularly appreciated the conversation regarding the beginning of a renovation project. Furniture placement it is. And the offset pivot hinge! Who knew?

[@bettylowdermilk4296]

Very informative. Loved her home and decorating

[@sosoutherncustomequestrian4598]

Very interesting interview.

Questions about your rugs - is that sisal that you have anchoring your living and dining rooms? I love the idea of this natural fiber, but I have read that it can shed and be “dusty”. Thoughts? Thank you!

I have studied and studied the floor plan and cannot find a kitchen.

[@janices6370]

Alexa Hampton is my choice for interior designer- unfortunately, only in my dreams.

Never say never.

I just know Alexa would be a great fun friend if only she lived out here in TO. 🎉
