It’s a tremendous opportunity in life to help make something right that had been very wrong. That was the opportunity for St. Louis-based designer Gigi Lombrano, ASID, NICDQ, in helping restore a client’s Florida home to the architect’s original intent.

Layering, texture and a nod to organic shapes drive the look of modern lighting. These traits stem from an innovative use of pendant lights to create simple accents or complex clustered chandeliers. We most often see these statement pieces mounted above bathtubs, kitchen islands, dining tables and in grand living rooms, designed to be the crown jewels of the space.

Originally a space structured to be entirely for office use, this dull and angular interior was turned into a soft and inspiring home space. With the goal of completely transforming the space’s form and function, architects and designers at SPACEGRAM knew exactly how to grasp that hidden potential hiding within its empty, gray corridors.

“Boucle style fabric has been around for decades (think Chanel tweeds!), but we’ve seen it become a bit of a craze in the interior space,” says Erin Fleher of Liston Design Build. 

Despite being around since the 40’s, boucle had its comeback in 2025 as a textural addition to living rooms and bedrooms. “They are now being used primarily in smaller doses for accent items such as pillows or ottomans where durability isn't a concern for the long run,” says Gigi Lombrano of Gigi Lombrano Interiors.
