Jocelyn Chiappone, the creative force behind Digs Design Company, a full-service interior design firm based in Newport, Rhode Island, has earned a reputation for her distinctive and vibrant approach to interior design.
Known as the “Digs Mix,” her signature style artfully combines punchy patterns, bright pops of color, and playful design twists, all woven together into a cohesive and joyful scheme that redefinies classic design for contemporary living. In her recent project in Chapoquoit, Chiappone brings her signature style to life, creating a home that is equal parts inviting and visually dynamic.

At the heart of the “Digs Mix” is a thoughtful use of a cohesive color palette paired with a serene backdrop. This foundation allows Chiappone to experiment with bold patterns and textures without overwhelming the space. In this Chapoquoit home, the dining room serves as a perfect example: the dining chairs feature a punchy pattern on their backs, while the interiors are upholstered in a calming solid linen, creating balance and harmony. This clever interplay of boldness and restraint is a hallmark of Chiappone’s design philosophy.

In the living room, Chiappone continues to showcase her mastery of color and pattern. A striped ottoman in a rainbow of hues serves as a playful focal point, instantly drawing the eye and energizing the space. The sunny yellow stripe from the ottoman is echoed throughout the room in thoughtful details, such as pops of yellow in the bookshelves, throw pillows, and end tables. These vibrant touches are grounded by a serene blue backdrop, seen in the upholstered sectional and wall color, which anchors the room and creates a soothing atmosphere.

Chiappone’s ability to layer textures and hues ensures that every space feels dynamic yet cohesive. She skillfully redefines classic design elements for contemporary living, infusing her projects with a sense of freshness and joy. In this home, tactile elements such as soft linens, textured throws, and polished wood surfaces enhance the overall sensory experience, while bold design choices create moments of surprise and delight.

The "Digs Mix" is more than just a design aesthetic—it’s a celebration of creativity and individuality. Chiappone’s approach transforms homes into spaces that reflect the personality and lifestyle of their owners, all while maintaining a refined and polished look. Through her innovative use of color, pattern, and texture, Digs Design Company continues to breathe new life into homes, proving that bold design can still feel timeless and inviting.

Whether it’s a playful ottoman, a patterned chair back, or a pop of unexpected color, Chiappone’s work invites us to embrace the joy of design and discover the beauty of the unexpected. The Chapoquoit project is yet another testament to her skill in crafting spaces that are both artful and livable—a true reflection of the Digs Design Company ethos.
