Intentional Design

Designing with Love: Intentional Design for Everyday Living

Creating a home that feels like a love letter to its owners is no small feat, but it’s a hallmark of Lori Savio’s approach to interior design. As the creative mind behind Home, Heart & Soul, Lori believes design is more than just making a space look beautiful—it’s about creating a thoughtful space where life unfolds seamlessly.

Lori begins every project with a collaborative, in-depth conversation. “At the heart of every project is your story,” she explains. “Intentional design starts with understanding how you need the room to function, what inspires you, and how we can make your space feel more personal.”

Then, she brings these valuable insights to life through purposeful choices: carefully curated color palettes that evoke emotion, layouts that maximize flow and function, and versatile furniture that stands the test of time. Whether it’s a guest bedroom for family visits, a kitchen that balances connection and culinary efficiency, or a retreat for relaxation, every detail is customized to support your lifestyle.

Another hallmark of Lori’s work is her collaboration with local artists. Bespoke elements like custom murals or one-of-a-kind artwork add depth and individuality to every design. “The romance is in the details,” Lori says. “It’s the feeling you get when you walk into a space that truly represents who you are.

Through her genuine passion for intentional design, Lori can help you live comfortably and authentically in spaces you love. Have a design project in mind?
