Great design consists of layered illumination. As you begin your next seasonal home refresh, aim to incorporate a mix of lighting sources. Lamps not only serve as statement pieces, but they also provide dimension and can set the mood of a room entirely! Read on for a look at a few lamps we’ve styled in recent interior design projects.

 

Desk Lamps Can Be Stylish and Functional

The first lamp we always recommend sourcing is a desk lamp. In the corner of our Fairway project’s primary bedroom, we added a small desk area for our client to get work done from home. We styled a beautifully arched desk lamp to not only tie in the other brass elements found throughout the room but also provide a light source to ensure productivity.

 

Brighten Your Bedside with a Stylish Nightstand Lamp

Sometimes lamps can be artwork themselves! In our Scottsdale interior design project, The Estates, we styled a modern, ceramic lamp on top of the two nightstands flanking the upholstered bed. Balancing both beautiful and practical, nightstand lamps are a great source of light on dimmer days. In bedroom areas, aim to find a lamp with shades that can help contain the light to avoid disturbing any nearby nappers.

 

Make a Statement with a Floor Lamp

Floor lamps can serve as beautiful statement pieces in any interior. We love that this brass floor lamp from our Marshall Ave interior design project is adjustable and can be molded to fit into nearly any space. This versatility will allow the piece to live in our client’s home for years to come. One of the top tips we share with clients is to not be afraid of investing in quality pieces like this that they love!

 

Beautiful Entryway Lamp

Have you ever laid eyes on a more beautifully intricate lamp? We can’t get over how the color of this lamp from our Cave Creek interior design project, Calle De Pompas, complements the adjacent artwork and accent wall. It’s the perfect touch to make guests feel right at home as soon as they enter.

 

Don’t Forget about Hallway Lamps

Last but not least, lamps always sit pretty on cabinets or console tables. Inside this cutout in our 83rd Place project, we opted to maximize space by styling a ceramic table lamp, artwork, and various accessories. We kept all of these details neutral to avoid overwhelming the space, and we love the subtle yet striking effect it had on the overall setup!

5 Unique Wall Art Ideas from Scottsdale Luxury Interior Designer

Few things make a home feel as complete as wall art does. It adds an undeniable dynamic, vibrancy, and texture to any space it’s styled in. Keep reading to discover a few unique pieces that have taken our clients’ walls to the next level!

 

Tapestry Wall Hangings

Upscale tapestry, anyone? We believe in strategically layering bold patterns, colors, and textures with quieter elements to create an interior that is interesting and easy to live with. This tapestry beautifully balances both subtle and show-stopping in our Fanfol Project. Despite being neutral and relaxed in color, the texture on this piece still demands the attention of all it encounters and we’re here for it!

 

Carved Concrete Wall Art

It’s time to bolden-up your neutrals! In our Montevista Project, we leveraged the power of neutrals to experiment with bolder textures. The intricate curves of this concrete wall art are carved in all the right places, adding just the right amount of intrigue to this home’s entryway. Doesn’t it draw you in?

 

Paper Shadow Box Wall Art

Part of our design expertise is knowing how to mix and layer bold elements into a space to make it interesting and stylish. We were able to do just that in our Marshall Ave project. To avoid going over the top or creating too much of a good thing, we styled this neutral paper shadow box above this beautifully styled console table. We love how the wall pieces’ height elongated the look of the walls too!

 

Volcanic Ash 3 Dimensional Art

There’s nothing better than helping clients step into their bravest, boldest selves through home design. To do this, we aim to introduce color, pattern, and texture in an approachable way. This volcanic ash, three-dimensional wall art is subtle in color, but don’t be fooled… its corners and curves create a unique statement piece that simultaneously catches and restricts light in a captivating way. We loved playing with shadows by styling this artwork next to a nearby window in our Fanfol Project.

 

Wall Planters

One of our favorite ways to bring life into a home is through greenery. This hexagon wall planter is a great solution for adding small plants to your interiors without taking up counter or shelf space. Style it solo or pair with matching planters for a mirrored, cohesive look.

If you’ve been keeping up with Living With Lolo for a while, you’d know how much we love balancing beauty and function. Keep reading to discover a few of our top cabinet designs!

 

Stylish Decorative Office Cabinet Designs

As the owner of a local real estate brokerage, the client from our Monte Lindo Project needed a dedicated space to dive into his craft in the comfort of his own home. Because we recognize how important it is to be inspired by the interiors around you, we filled the home office with masculine elements like this stunning iron cabinet with an antique gunmetal finish. The glass doors made it perfect for displaying timeless home decor and treasured items.

Functional Arched Metal Cabinet

We love incorporating unique shapes into our clients’ interior design projects for added interest. This metal cabinet’s arched structure and stark contrast was the perfect design statement to include in our Fanfol Project’s mid-century modern home.

 

Rattan Cabinets are Perfect for Storage and Staging

Here’s a statement piece you’re going to want to weave into your interiors ASAP! In our Montevista Project, we incorporated a large rattan cabinet to serve as the focal point for this room. The near-opaque cabinet doors made it the perfect space for hiding not-so-glamourous household goods. Plus, our clients couldn’t get enough of the soft, textural twist this modern piece added to the room!

In our previous post, we revealed the common spaces of our recent Marshall Ave project, a creative job for a female client who was ready to step out of the box with her home’s interior design. 

In this post, we’ll cover the master bedroom and bathrooms, all of which are funky and sophisticated and total head-turners!

Starting in the master bedroom, a really playful wallpaper became the backdrop to the entire space. The client knew she wanted a bright pop of color for her bed as well, so those were our jumping-off points. Don’t you love this turquoise upholstered bed frame that we settled on?

The master is a big space, so beyond the statement bed, we wanted to find some chests that were really large. Our team landed on these dark wood ones that have great texture and details, like the juxtaposing clear and gold knobs. We love how eclectic yet elegant this room turned out to be.

In the master bathroom, we wanted to continue the unique and playful vibe we created in the bedroom while creating a feminine and spa-like oasis. A custom gray soaking tub made for something different and totally sets the space off. The wallpaper on the back wall behind the tub provides texture and a high-design detail. Custom cabinets under the vanity have an interesting cut-out handle, another upscale aspect that sets the space apart.

In the home’s powder room, the client had a specific look she was going for — “moody” — with dark tile and wood. The “wood” we used here is actually tile, making for a durable solution in the space. An unexpected, sparkly pendant light adds a bit of interest and juxtaposition to the otherwise very neutral and textured design elements.

We’ll leave you with this shot of a vignette in the entryway, featuring a piece of art that’s the perfect representation of this home’s design — organic, neutral with a pop of color, and an eclectic sensibility. We loved envisioning and bringing to life this creative space for our client, and we love getting to share it with you!

Designing this unique and sophisticated, yet playful, home for one of our mature female clients was a highlight of our 2020. It was a creative project and the client really trusted us to create the perfect space for her. She allowed herself to step outside of the box, which we love and ran with!

Stepping into the entryway, we set the scene for the entire home. While the art steals the show here, the sideboard and accessories complement the look, creating a vignette full of texture and earthiness. Our client absolutely loved this scene and we used it as inspiration for the rest of the design.

 

Moving into the dining room, eclectic pieces merge together to create a design full of conversation starters. The piece of art on the wall is something that the client already owned and wanted to incorporate into her space. With the addition of the glamorous gold and crystal light fixtures, plus a more neutral rug, dining chairs, and table, the whole look came together beautifully.

The living room centers around this comfortable custom sectional, which just begs people to come and sit down. Shots of blue throughout the space bring a freshness but still creates a serene vibe. The client requested swivel chairs positioned by the fireplace so she could sit and look out of the window. Luckily, these chairs — which feature a blue dot pattern — were our favorite, so they inspired the rest of the room’s design.

In the beautiful, bright kitchen, we installed updated cabinets and countertops, rich, warm wood floors, and statement lighting. The client was unsure about the light fixture above the dining table at first but ended up trusting us and it worked out perfectly! The unique round dining table with a mixed material base, plus the upholstered chairs with the gold frame, help make this space sophisticated yet totally hip.

Love this home as much as we do? Watch for part 2 of this project reveal coming soon, where we’ll cover the bedrooms and bathrooms.
