Top Designer Lori Miller Shares Her Creative Process

For the ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME Spring issue, designer Lori Miller articulated what goes into her creative process.

“I would say that most often I lean toward a traditional design style. Traditional design incorporates the use of multiple textures, patterns and colors. Growing up in the 60s, everything was overly simplified with white or mauve mica and black-and- white walls. There was even a collection of wallpaper books called black-and- white handprints. For me, ornate furniture has beauty and craftsmanship in its designs. When combining florals and cane with crown molding and dark, rich woods, it makes an elegant statement. Versailles has history and what is old is always new again. To make a creative statement I feel that traditional design allows this process to occur.”
