Creating Spaces
That Reflect You
Hello, my name is Loida Lafi, founder and principal designer at Loida Lafi Interiors.
I believe your home should be a reflection of you. I value the importance of living and working in an environment that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. I believe that by working and living in such surroundings, each of us enjoys a more productive, comfortable, and satisfying life.
Along with my education and experience, I bring to all of my projects a unique sense of design and an innate ability to carefully listen to all of my clients' needs.
My Journey
My career in the home fashion industry began more than two decades ago when I co-owned a small gift and home accessories shop in my hometown. In that 400-square-foot space, I showcased an eclectic mix of specialty furniture and home decor items. My customers would ask me to assist them in selecting everything from merchandise sold in the shop to wall, floor and window coverings. It was then that I learned that interior decorating was a true calling for me.
Education and Expertise
To hone my skills, I pursued coursework at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, earned an interior design degree from Berkeley College in Woodland Park, NJ and obtained my Real Estate Staging Certification from Home Staging Resource.
Today, I continue my education by participating and attending various business conferences, webinars and workshops. Additionally, I’m proud to be a member of several professional interior decorating and design organizations where I connect with other talented designers to test and share ideas that add to my repertoire of skills.
Approach to Design
With a blend of education, experience and a keen eye for design, I approach each project by carefully listening to my clients’ needs and seamlessly integrating their vision into a cohesive design concept.
We begin with a no obligation consultation to discuss the scope of the job as well as to get to know a little bit about one another. It is important that we both feel that we are a good fit for each other. As a home must be built on a good foundation, so do all relationships. Ours begins with trust and communication.
Whatever your next project needs are, it would give me great pleasure to guide you, and help make your space a more beautiful and functional place to live in.
Passion for Home Decor
My genuine passion for color, fabrics and all things home decor drives me to excel in home design.
If you’re looking to sell or enhance your living space, I’m here to guide you through the process. Whether it’s styling, staging or a complete home makeover, I invite you to schedule a no-obligation consultation.
