What’s the secret to creating fresh and functional mountain-home interiors? For Rumor Design + Redesign, it’s all about blending Steamboat’s rich design tradition with what’s new and next.
How does your team collaborate with clients to create truly personalized spaces?
We have an amazing team of 10 designers, each with a unique style, vision, and creative streak. We begin each project by asking clients to create vision boards highlighting design details that inspire them. After adding our own creative twists, we guide clients through furniture layouts, design boards, 3-D layouts, and illustrations that help them see our combined vision before we bring it to life.
What’s new this season in your retail showroom?
We are showing more furniture with contemporary lines, which we mix with touches of leather, plaid, and shearling. The combination is a great way to put a fresh touch on the mountain look. Customers are also loving our throw blankets from Cozy Nomad Designs, which have a textured, mudcloth vibe, come in a variety of prints, and are great to snuggle up with.
If you could get your hands on one iconic Steamboat spot, how would you redesign it?
We would love to revive the Tugboat, an old dive bar at the base of the ski mountain. We would definitely keep the laid-back vibe and dark, cozy atmosphere, but we’d add a modern twist— and a dance floor where you might find yourself dancing in your ski boots at 4 p.m.!
