LiLu Interiors, Matchmakers

by Ally Evander, Allied Member ASID
This Valentine’s Day, forget about the flowers and chocolates and ask yourself…. Are you in love with your interior?

We at LiLu consider ourselves matchmakers for our clients. We take care to match each unique individual or family with furniture and fabrics, space plans and finishes that will bring them joy for years to come. We do this by getting to know them and their values. We listen and pride ourselves on being able to hear even the things they aren’t saying.

We matched our client, Kate with this fabric:

Kate is one of those zen people we all strive to be like. She sees the beauty in the details and always takes the time to appreciate it. When I saw this fabric, it whispered, “Kate.” I knew I had the perfect match. It became what she dubbed her “Destination Pillow.” It’s a big, cozy back pillow that sits on a sunny window seat, the perfect spot to curl up and read a book.

We matched Diane with this fabric:

Diane has a very sophisticated home, featuring antiques and art collected over the years. She also collects something a little less spohisticated and quirky- Penguins! When we stumbled across this fabric, Tuxedo by Donghia, we knew it had to end up in her home somewhere. Now it's a cute little bench in the entry way to welcome you into the home. It's the perfect balance of sophistication and playfulness. Needless to say, she loves it!

We matched our client Stephanie with this accessory:

Steph is a vibrant, easy-going mom who really understands how your home can change your life. She instantly fell in love with this carved dragon when we brought him into her home. The family loved him so much, they named him Lennie. Steph says if there was a fire in her house, she would save her family… and then Lennie!
