Apartment Therapy taps GTM Principal Luke Olson to unpack how Craftsman design translates to today’s homes, with material honesty, human-scale rooms, and custom detailing.
In Apartment Therapy’s feature on Craftsman interiors, Principal Luke Olson explains why the style still resonates today. After years of austere, gray-on-gray minimalism, homeowners are gravitating back to stained wood, natural materials, and earthy palettes that feel inviting and warm. Olson points to a broader shift toward handmade finishes and custom built-ins, and the enduring appeal of visible structure, clean lines, and fireplace-anchored living rooms—characteristics of the original movement that continue to foster comfort and connection.
