Meet the 2026 Designers
Amid the excitement surrounding AJ Madison’s expansion into Texas and the opening of their stunning new state-of-the-art Houston showroom, 2026 unfolded as a defining moment for the Kitchen Design Collective.
The landmark launch spotlighted a ground-up new build in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood by Talbot Cooley of TC Interiors. The renowned designer and her team selected Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances that strike a refined balance between beauty and performance, capturing both the confident spirit of the Lone Star State and the elevated design ethos at the heart of the Kitchen Design Collective.
