Welcome to On the Fringe- a newsletter for the design-obsessed, emotionally nuanced, holiday-table-setting, homebody-with-a-twist kind of reader. Think of this as part diary, part design memo, part "I can't believe she just said that." If you’ve ever rearranged your living room to cure an existential crisis or cried over a discontinued wallpaper, you’re in the right place.
I’m Hollis Loudon: maximalist interior designer, professional table-scapist, and reluctant minimalist only when my New York apartment demands it. I write about everything from the perfect patterned rug to grief, sobriety, and the absurdity of modern hustle culture- with candor, humor, and (ideally) good lighting.

This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a two-way conversation. I’d love to hear from you in the comments- especially if you have opinions about fringe, cheese boards, or whether we’re all just one seasonal tablescape away from inner peace.
It’s Time to Live-Out-Loudon
I built this space to be beautiful, honest, and maybe a little bit brave. If you’ve made it this far, I hope you’ll stick around.
P.S. Wondering how this newsletter magically exists? The answer: Substack.
