American imprint Design Within [Reach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldyourown-horse) has tapped the help of British fashion designer Paul Smith to furnish the [Miles C Bates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loyal-stricklin-miles-wallet) house. It is a notable mid-century home located in Palm Desert and now, it can be rented out by guests. The Miles C Bates home is also known as the Wave House due to its recognizable roof. It was designed as a sculptor's studio for Bates, originally who then turned it into a communal hub for other artists.

[DWR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-house-1) senior vice president creative director Omar Nobil speaks about the design, "We chose to launch the experiential aspect of the collection in the Wave House because of the home's original and bold design that parallels the collection. The property stands out amongst the many iconic mid-century homes in the community due to the eccentric gesture of the roof design, which is set amongst the dramatic landscape of the low desert."

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Fashion-infused Home Design:** The integration of fashion design elements into interior spaces presents a fusion of style disciplines that could lead to bespoke and culturally rich décor solutions.
- **Experiential Property Rentals:** Bringing unique designs into rental properties transforms guest experiences, offering travelers a distinctive stay through curated, designer-driven environments.
- **Collaborative Artistic Spaces:** Reviving historical properties as communal hubs for artists fosters innovation and creativity, blending historical architectural significance with modern artistic expression.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Hospitality and Tourism:** Innovative design collaborations in rental properties enhance guest experiences by merging art and lodging in striking visual settings.
- **Interior Design:** The blend of high-fashion aesthetics with architectural interiors creates opportunities for unique and personalized home environments.
- **Cultural Heritage Preservation:** Restoring and reimagining mid-century homes with contemporary design elements bridges the past with the present, preserving history while offering modern appeal.
