This year's Pasadena Showcase House of Design is from April 17th to May 15th and Lamps Plus was very excited to provide lighting to LA-based L2 Interiors for their two spaces in the showcase's location in La Canada Flintridge, CA.
We were able to ask Jason Lai, one of the principals of L2 Interiors, some interior design questions, and here's what he said:
1. The best design advice I ever received is:
- Always hire a designer.
2. When decorating, you should splurge on:
- I always splurge on staple furniture, typically choosing traditional neutral pieces that will age timelessly while still moving with trends.
3. Favorite Four:
- Color: Grey
- Furniture Piece: Arm chair
- Lighting: Chandeliers and pendants, the arch light
- Accessory: Pillow
4. How important is lighting to your designs?
- Very important, it sets the mood for the entire space.
5. What is one “trick of the trade” that you implement in your designs?
- Accessories make the room; they are the finishing touch that spruce up any space.
