What our business bio doesn’t tell you:) \n<\/p>\n
Luisa Maringola, co-owner of Lumar Interiors shares some of her personal ‘favourite things’.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Guilty Pleasure:<\/strong> \u00a0Good quality chocolate and a delicious cappuccino with a plain cookie to dunk.<\/p>\n
People are surprised to know: \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>That my educational background is in psychology.<\/p>\n
Favourite Quote:<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My Inspiration to be the best:<\/strong> \u00a0A few years ago I redecorated a family room for a new client that had been referred to me. \u00a0They loved their new family room so much that they told me it was their ‘oasis’. \u00a0That has inspired me over the years to create spaces that people love and want to spend time in.<\/p>\n
Favourite Book:<\/strong> \u00a0I have many…one of my favourites is “I Don’t Know How She Does It” by Allison Pearson – a must-read for any working mother.<\/p>\n
Favourite Restaurant:<\/strong> \u00a0There are many restaurants I love…Tutto Bene in Thornhill, The Purple Pig in Chicago and Eataly in New York.<\/p>\n
Favourite Shop:<\/strong> \u00a0Any beautiful home decor shop that carries table linens…Serendipity in Niagara on the Lake is on of them. \u00a0I can’t get enough of table cloths and tea towels.<\/p>\n
Favourite Perfume<\/strong>: \u00a0Organza by Givenchy.<\/p>\n
Favourite artist<\/strong> : Behrens. \u00a0Love the bold and bright colours of his paintings, not to mention the Italian landscapes.!<\/p>\n
Favourite city I have visited: <\/strong>\u00a0Florence, Italy. \u00a0The architecture, the history, the florentine trays, the jewellery: \u00a0I love it!<\/p>\n
Person of interest whose style I admire<\/strong>: \u00a0Jackie O – her classic style: always so coiffed and tailored.<\/p>\n
Secret to Success:<\/strong> \u00a0I listen to what our clients are saying and NOT saying. \u00a0Our clients’ vision is the goal we work towards achieving.<\/p>\n
Favourite item in our Studio Shop:<\/strong> \u00a0a white gourd shaped lamp made classic with a gold ‘collar’ around its neck – a Jackie-O kind of look!<\/p>\n
