Thoughtfully selecting show-stopping luxury pieces that embody the personality of our clients is one of our favorite parts of the design process. One interior design trend that we always feature in our projects is statement pendants. See some of our favorite pendant lighting ideas below.

While most can only imagine concrete lighting in an industrial-style home, they actually pair well with a modern setting. Cement pendants add a subtle touch of texture and rawness to your space, creating a focal point for the room.

If you long for statement lighting, this is the pendant for you! These show-stopping brass pendants incorporated in our Scottsdale interior design project, Trailside View, bring a show-stopping appeal to the space.

The pendants’ bold brass detailing create subtle hues throughout the kitchen. We love how the modern, linear lines balances with banding across the diameter of the light. Caged in the center are six candelabra sockets to offset lots of light into the kitchen.

Minton Circle Project

by Lauren Lerner | Feb 22, 2023 | Interior Design Tips, Modern Interior Design Ideas, Uncategorized

For this Scottsdale interior design project, we worked closely with our clients to transform their builder-grade home from farmhouse to modern. From the large custom pieces to the smaller luxury interior design details, we can’t get enough of how this space turned out. Read on for a look inside!

Stools-https://rstyle.me/+mKp2nXgLgOpA9Zyl0X0xDg

They say the best things come in threes, so to complement the pre-existing hard finishes, we hung three large, black pendants above the island. We love the impact this detail added to this otherwise light and bright kitchen!

Balancing beauty and functionality, we added counter stools featuring a stunning texture made of performance fabric. This detail is crucial for family homes to ensure easy clean up and lasting durability.

Table-https://rstyle.me/+4vMfpZyKykZJT3C55B6C5Q

In the breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen, we added beautiful custom drapery and a custom rod to fit the space’s curved windows. No home is the same, so we love being able to lean on our connections with trusted vendors to incorporate unique pieces tailored to each of our clients’ needs.

To complement the black lighting from the kitchen, we also added a black, rattan pendant above the dining table. Surrounding the great oak dining table, we, of course, opted to include chairs made with performance fabric as well.

Coffee Table-https://rstyle.me/+7K_c3qp35fPA4alC0EVLww

Just beyond the kitchen is our clients’ family room. To fit the scale of the space, we added a custom sofa on top of a large, vintage-style rug. Further furnishing the space, we added a round coffee table. We’re swooning over the luxury interior design and organic feel that the natural pine wood brought into the space!

Sideboard-https://rstyle.me/+Cy02jz8SKjqqO8oA_sQYrw

Wine and dine, anyone? Because our clients love wine, we knew we had to add statement wine shelving above the dining room’s custom sideboard to serve as the focal point of the interior when guests walk in.

Additionally, to suit our clients’ entertainment needs, we needed to comfortably seat 10 people in the space, so we added a large, modern dining table made of mixed materials: wood and brass. This beautifully mirrors the brass detailing on the back of the surrounding dining chairs. Like the seating in the kitchen and breakfast nook, we made it a priority to incorporate dining chairs made of performance fabric as well.

Bed- https://rstyle.me/+-105SIlndnsO6mHEfcsreQ

This project’s primary bedroom is one of our favorites! As a backdrop for the space, we added wooden detailing topped with deep blue paint on the back wall. Contrasting this statement color, we added an off-white custom rug that was large enough to fill up the space for an additional dash of coziness. Check out our Rug Style Trends We Love blog post for more pieces to elevate your interiors!

To draw the attention upward and highlight the home’s tall ceilings, we centered a canopy bed in between two wide nightstands. Who else loves the subtle pop of texture the bed’s herringbone pattern and lamps’ cement base add to the room?

To provide our client with an ample amount of working room in her office, we incorporated a large desk that was actually created to be a dining table! The table’s length allows for two guests to be comfortably seated side by side.

Next, we added beautiful shelving and sideboards for storage. We love how these cabinet designs balance form and function. Lastly, for the jewelry of the space, we added a black metal light with intricate glass detailing.

Bronco Part 2

by Lauren Lerner | Feb 22, 2023 | Modern Interior Design Ideas, Scottsdale Interior Design Projects, Uncategorized

Recently on the blog, we shared a sneak peek inside our Bronco Project, a North Scottsdale interior design project that doubles as our CEO’s home and an office space for the Living With Lolo Team! Today, we’re finally unveiling the remainder of the home! Keep reading for a look inside this beautiful abode.

Chairs-https://rstyle.me/+usPo4wnHxncRJCh37qufPA

We extended a one-of-a-kind feel throughout the home with custom interior design elements that best fit the style and personality of our CEO.

Centering the primary bedroom, we added a custom upholstered bed with a fun abstract pattern painted across it! While we kept the surrounding fabrics neutral, we added a pop of color as the backdrop for this space with this gorgeous wallpaper from Quercus & Co. We love how it brought life into the room in a muted and sophisticated way.

At the foot of the bed, we added two elegant hardwood chairs to fill the remainder of the space with comfort and style. For finishing touches, we also styled a rug, custom nightstands, and custom Roman shades for an additional dash of cozy.

Bench-https://rstyle.me/+CODW-ucZ6Koo-dttFDzTRA

In the primary bathroom, we incorporated the same black-stained oak cabinetry with push-to-open mechanisms found in the kitchen. The push-to-open cabinetry allows for no visible hardware, creating an ultra-sleek, modern look. The white quartz countertops and marble flooring add a gorgeous shine and contrast to the space.

To warm up the space, we added an Annie Selke runner and natural elm bench. This detail sprinkled in some beauty and functionality into the bathroom. For some more inspiration on how to incorporate benches into your interiors, check out the 5 bench styles we love!

Lastly, our CEO obviously knows what interior dreams are made of! Because she envisioned a spa just outside the primary bathroom, we added a large slider to connect the two spaces and bring an indoor-outdoor feel into the bathroom.

This luxurious fixture on the ceiling has to be our favorite part of the master bathroom! Can you blame us?

Bed-https://rstyle.me/+PG7FqM7Kzcffx1hbOUvvZQ

This project’s guest bedroom is made to appeal to any visitor! This beautiful cane and wood bed creates a fun and modern feel. The pillows, Loloi rug, and gorgeous custom artwork tie it all together for a cozy overnight stay.

Coffee Table-https://rstyle.me/+9bLuIfw5GuVJgnx8CeAMBg

Our CEO wanted to create a gorgeous, yet inviting space where her family can unwind and watch movies. This chic hangout room is the perfect spot to sit back and relax! The custom olive sofa is to die for and was built for comfort.

Centering this room is a bold, minimalistic coffee table with an intricate texture. Large and spacious, it is the ideal spot for her son to hangout and build puzzles. For a vibrant pop of color and personality, we added fun artwork and custom drapery.

Explore more of our coffee table picks in our 6 Most Popular & Timeless Coffee Tables blog post.

Sideboard-https://www.chairish.com/product/4761312/yael-sideboard-in-sandy-ash?clickId=5115150524

At Living with Lolo, we are all about having functional, livable spaces that are full of beauty, life and character. The sandy ash sideboards make a show-stopping statement and add ample storage to the room.

Is this rug Loloi? If so, need to tag to fulfill partnership requirements

We value creating spaces that are unique and distinctive. This powder room room is the perfect example of fun, yet sophisticated and was so much fun for us to design.

The wallpaper is a unique, handpainted print with purple and moth tones. For consistency, we painted the same color on the baseboards and ceiling, and even used the same quartz from the kitchen on the 12-inch floating vanity.
