with host artist Miriam Schulman
As interior design evolves, so does the psychology behind why people buy art. In this solo episode, Miriam gives an insider’s look at the eight biggest décor trends shaping 2026 and how to align your art with them without selling your soul. From rich, moody color palettes to art-as-sanctuary spaces, you’ll learn how to anticipate what buyers crave and position your creative vision at the forefront of what’s next in design and culture.
“Real artists are always in conversation about what is happening with the world at large, and the ones that are successful are tuned in.” -Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Why moody color palettes are replacing neutrals in collector homes
- How to create narrative-rich artwork that connects with cultural identity
- Why statement-scale pieces are outselling smaller works
“2026 is the Year of Integration… People are craving grounding, rootedness, ancestral wisdom.” -Miriam Schulman

I loved listening to your book, the humor, the understanding/recognition, the sheer human-ness of it etc. Would like to audiolearn the stuff now and not have to watch video. I fell in love with my new pod right away.
