Nashville-based designer named one of House Beautiful's Next Wave Class of 2024

Nashville-based designer Brad Ramsey was recently announced as a member of House Beautiful's Next Wave Class of 2024 .

Why it matters: The list highlights the big up-and-coming names in interiors across the U.S. There are only 13 spots nationwide, and Nashville received a nod.

Ramsey's fresh approach to design is all about feeling at ease in your space — whether you prefer minimalist, function-forward design or crave an endless buffet of home decor eye candy.

Zoom in: We caught up with this designer you're about to see everywhere and asked him a few questions about his work.

Describe your design style in three words.

"Thoughtful, collaborative, imaginative."

What's one home design trend you're loving right now?

"Small and large curves are in. Whether they are on a furniture silhouette or in the actual architecture, they are back in a big way and softening our living experiences."

What's one trend past its prime?

"Unless it's a vintage find, I would say that impulse buying of immediately available furniture is out. Even retail furniture stores are trending toward custom selections. Too many impulse purchases end up being tossed because it doesn't retain its value."

Best local spot for home decor or furniture?

"We love shopping one-of-a-kind finds from Patina & Co. and we drop into Providence Interiors for those last-minute coffee table books and accessories needed for an install."

Where do you find inspiration?

"I find inspiration everywhere: in other designers' work, Instagram posts, travel and experiencing new architecture, and of course nature. I love soaking up as much as I can and as often as I can to inform my own create voice."
