Under the umbrella of Lucy Rose Design, Lucy works as an Interior Designer and imports her curated collection of fabrics and wallpapers from her native Britain.

 

After graduating high school she trekked through the hills and temples of India with her grandmother; Lucy’s eyes were opened to an old world of colour, pattern and authentic architecture which set the stage for a career in design. She spent the next 7 years working with John Stefanidis and then David Mlinaric, two of England’s most highly esteemed interior designers, assisting on some of the world’s most desirable houses: she travelled to Turkey to oversee the making of rugs for West Dean College; mixed paints by hand in Mick Jagger’s chateau on the Loire; hung paintings in many a grand Hall across England and arranged furniture in Lord Rothschild’s London homes.

 

Lucy’s projects are about getting the bones right first: the use of the space and the flow of the rooms and then embellishing them with color and texture.  Lucy takes inspiration from the architecture of Sir Edwin Lutyens and Frank Lloyd Wright and creates places for people to sit, work and entertain on a familial scale. She has an empathy and understanding of the people who live in them and creates rooms that are comfortable, practical and above all, where one wants to spend time.  Layering ofcolor, texture and pattern make a home that feels collected and authentic; this is Lucy’s signature style.

 

The Lucy Rose Design Collection is a mix of British boutique lines of fabric and wallpaper that Lucy has brought to the American shores.  It is British design at its best and most inspiring; the patterns are whimsical, organic and gardenesque. They are naturalistic, sometimes stylized, graphic and always colorful.  Designs from the 1930’s and Bloomsbury recreated meets 1950’s retro cool, and always with that English charm. The fabrics and wallpapers are designed by artists and printed in Britain and are available in showrooms across the United States.

 

As David Mlinaric so aptly said, “A store of visual references and the ability to conjure them up when needed are crucial for a decorator”: this is Lucy’s forte and it is what she brings to the table in her interior design projects and in the choosing of fabrics and wallpapers to be included in her collection.
