Designing tile for kitchens, bathrooms, indoor rooms, outdoor spaces—wherever you want to put it—is one of our favorite things. And we don’t just make up a nice little picture to show the tile installer, we go through a complete process with our client.
We design the whole area and make our tile suggestions that fit within the client’s budget, of course. Then we go through all the tile selections with the client, either at their residence, business or at the showroom, whichever is most appropriate for the client and the size and quantity of the tile.
Then we create a detailed CAD drawing that measures out every little thing, down to the millimeter, down to the space for the grout. We leave no room for chance at LRM Interior Design; we want that tile installer to know exactly what we want him to do. We even make up styleboards that show each type of tile that will go in a certain area. And yes, the contractors love working with us for just this kind of attention to detail, because we help them get the job done right the first time. (read the rest of this post…)

The neutral color palette is perfect for relaxing and unwinding.
We were captivated by the clean lines and organic materials at the Spa Cidade Jardim, a spa hidden on the fifth floor of the Shopping Cidade Jardim mall in Brazil’s bustling São Paulo. We’re not suggesting you get an entire spa installed into your home, nor jump on a plane to Brazil tomorrow to visit this delectable sanctum of relaxation, but we can help you take some of these beautiful ideas and incorporate them into your master bath at home.
The similarities we find between the hectic energy of Orange County life (busy parents with active, social kids to ferry around, the highest concentration of entrepreneurs in the country, great dining and lounging venues, stunning natural beauty) with the busting, expanding city of São Paulo is the need to escape once in a while. And not necessarily get out of town, but escape in your OWN town. Did you know that the traffic is so bad in Såo Paulo that the wealthy commute by helicopter? Doesn’t that make your crosstown journey sound a lot easier? (read the rest of this post…)

Bathroom in Aliso Viejo home
Kari Seydewitz, designer for LRM Interior Design, was inspired last week by one of LRMID’s previous projects. Lisa McDennon and her team remodeled this Aliso Viejo house with a Mediterranean feel, with a lot of decorative tile, rich colors, detailed cabinetry and unique lighting fixtures.
In the home’s guest bathroom, Kari’s eye was drawn to the ornate tile border above the stone wall tile that echoed the shape of the mirror’s frame. Both the hanging light fixtures and the studded cabinet doors give a Moorish feel to the bathroom. “This is a good example of how a room’s decor can set a mood,” says Kari. Rooms, especially ones like bedrooms and bathrooms, can be created as a calming retreat, and creating that feeling or mood is important. For complete satisfaction with the finished product, Lisa McDennon, principal of LRM Interior Design, suggests using a professional designer. (read the rest of this post…)

During a recession, many people are happy just to have a roof over their heads, and thoughts of moving to a new home can be put on hold. But that doesn’t mean that you should keep your home in a holding pattern; after all, a change can be as good as a new home.
If you are planning on moving when the recession recedes, that’s another reason to make a few home improvements – focus on adding value to your home before it’s time to sell. Besides, why not make your home more pleasant and up-to-date while you’re still living in it? And I’m not the only one who thinks so: Ed Del Grande, the Orange County Register’s home repair guru, recently told a reader the same thing. You can read the article online here, but read on for my top tips! (read the rest of this post…)
