What’s Trending Today?…One-of-a-kind Interiors

By Emily Anderson, Allied Member ASID
What's new in design? What are the hot trends? What colors are big this season? These tend to be the first questions I get asked when a new acquaintance discovers I'm an interior designer. It makes sense; it's part of my job as a designer to know.
Following trends is fun and interesting and inspirational, but the designers at LiLu Interiors help our clients avoid short-lived trends and incorporate lasting trends that are appropriate for their space and aesthetic. LiLu prides itself on creating one-of-a-kind interiors that look and feel like the specific client it was designed for - not just a passing trend.
I'd like to argue that what's trending today is creating a home that is all about you and the things that are important to you. We credit our amazing clients with being our favorite trend-setters. They trust us to create interiors that they have never seen in a magazine. The result is a never-before-seen interior that is perfect for them.
Here are a few interiors that I have the pleasure to work on. None look like "LiLu," instead each space reflects the client they were designed for. Also, all of these projects incorporate aspects of current trends that I'll be highlighting this week.
