I decided to catch up with my friend Genevieve Gorder a few months ago when the pandemic had just started to learn about how was she surviving quarantine life in Manhattan, and talk about how she doing interior design work when NOTHING is business as usual. Listen, laugh, and get inspired about Gen’s thoughts on 5 design trends from 2020.
Genevieve Gorder’s soulful style and genuine enthusiasm have made her one of America’s favorite interior designers for many years. She is the founder and director of the Genevieve Gorder brand, a television host and producer, a home product designer, contributing author, and global ambassador for home and human rights.
Gorder has appeared and been featured in over 20 lifestyle shows around the world. Currently, you can find Genevieve on Netflix, HGTV, Sony Channel Asia, The Design Network and as a regular contributor on The Rachael Ray Show. A two time Emmy nominee and regular design host at the White House, Genevieve has built multiple lifestyle collections for home. From rugs, textiles, wallpaper and stationary to a full line of furniture and decor for children debuting July 2017 with partner The Land of Nod.
Off Air and internet, Genevieve designs for a diverse group of clients and companies. She has guided many hotels, restaurants, cruise lines, cities and private clients towards their design fantasies. She travels the world with Oxfam as a Sister on the Planet, using her influence to fight global poverty, hunger and injustice with a particular focus on home and empowering women and girls worldwide.
Gorder’s work has been featured in numerous publications both nationally and internationally. Currently you can find her on the cover and featured in the NYT best seller “In the Company of Women”.
Genevieve resides with her husband, daughter and their very adorable puppy in Manhattan.

In our interview, I selected five design trends from Elle Decor’s List of Design Trends that are IN and OUT for 2020 written by Lucia Tonelli and Kelley Carter. I designed a mood board based on our conversation of trends that Genevieve loves, and just some fun takeaways from our conversation that you can also take home. I hope this board gives you some inspiration for your next design project or that the bundt cake at least helps your grumbling belly.
