Lisa Mende Design
www.lisamende.com / @lisamendedesign
Lisa Mende loves all styles of interior design with the exception of Art Nouveau. She likes to create distinctive projects. Maybe you can add shocking details to the classic interior, and it will only benefit from this! Lisa Mende is often accused of being too harsh. In fact, this character trait is caused by the specifics of the work. The more adamant the interior designer is in her requirements, the more successful the project will be and the fewer mistakes everyone involved in creating the interior will make.
Lisa has more than a dozen interiors of cafes and restaurants, from modest to famous. Each of them has a unique character with an added zest: chandeliers, stucco molding, fireplace grate, stained-glass windows. The peculiarity of Lisa’s work is to put her soul into every object. Therefore, the interiors are unique and it is impossible to meet two similar ones. As a visitor to the restaurant, you will not be able to miss the situation either – the entourage remains in your memory for a long time.
Phoebe Howard
@phoebehoward_decorator
In the portfolio of Phoebe Howard, there are interiors from English classics to pop art, but she puts any style through the personal experience and needs of the client. Phoebe is well aware of the subtleties of historical styles, but in her projects she is engaged not so much in recreating them as in their stylization, often seasoning classical elements with unexpected coloristic solutions. Howard has both modern projects and interiors in restrained colors – in the end, everything depends on the space and the wishes of the customer. At the same time, Howard is one of those designers who personally lead all their projects and believe that it is in the dialogue between the client and the designer that a real author’s interior is born.
In her work, Phoebe Howard tries not to repeat herself – she takes on projects of all sizes, from tiny coffee shops and jewelry boutiques to estates and large retail spaces. Moreover, she can not only arrange them, but also develop a design concept that includes packaging and fonts. Howard works very subtly with color: her projects often turn out to be cheerful and sunny regardless of what is happening outside the window.
Mary T. Miller
www.abodehomedesign.com / @abodebymtm
The studio’s projects are logical and functional – with interesting planning solutions and designer furniture. Mary T. Miller makes modern interiors but works with pleasure preserving the original details to the maximum because she considers respect for the place and history a necessary condition for a successful project. She likes to communicate with the world through Instagram, in which she shows not only finished projects, but also the process of work, and also shares sources of inspiration.
The studio adheres to the principle of effective design. Behind each finished object is not only an interesting design idea, but also a sober calculation: the client will be shown a three-dimensional visualization, they will make an economic justification of all decisions, and they take environmental friendliness as seriously as comfort. Among the studio’s projects, there are many types of apartments: to find a balance between the interior and the wide panorama of the city outside the windows. They often use custom-made “carpentry” in projects, thanks to which a very warm feeling remains even from laconic modern spaces.
