Lauren Debellis Wrote About How Analog May Be The New Luxury

For her Substack newsletter, Lauren Debellis wrote about how she “started designing an analog room and it changed how I think about home.” Debellis told Study Hall, “I’ve spent most of my career as a home and lifestyle editor thinking about how the things we bring into our homes shape the way we feel and move through the day.” She added. “Lately, I’ve been noticing a quiet shift away from constant optimization and toward slower, more tactile rituals that invite presence instead of productivity. In this piece, I explore what I’m calling the ‘Analog Room,’ not as a design trend, but as a cultural signal emerging across home, wellness, and consumer behavior.”
