Intentional Space

A Home With Personality: Lori’s Colorful Take on Intentional Design

When interior designer Lori Savio steps into a room—especially her own—she isn’t thinking about trends, rules, or what’s “in” at the moment. She’s thinking about personality. About meaning. About creating a space that feels alive, warm, and unmistakably you.

“Intentional design is all about choosing pieces that tell your story, not someone else’s,” Lori says. “When you fill your home with what you love, the whole space begins to feel like you.”

In her own home, that philosophy shines through in every room. Soft, modern upholstery mixes effortlessly with bold artwork and unexpected textures, creating spaces that balance comfort with creativity. A custom floral mural adds a beautiful artistic touch to the bathroom. Curated seating, including vintage modern wingback chairs and a comfortable sofa from her private label collection, brings color and softness to the living room. Every vignette is layered with thoughtful choices—from sculptural lighting to playful pillows—that echo Lori’s love for art and self-expression.

The kitchen highlights her intentional approach even further. Dark, dramatic tile paired with sleek granite creates a stunning backdrop, while unique lighting, local art, and mixed materials add a personal twist. The goal? A space that works beautifully, lives comfortably, and looks like no one else’s.

Around every corner, Lori’s home celebrates individuality—proof that intentional interiors can be both functional and full of personality. Because for Lori, a home isn’t complete when it’s perfect. It’s complete when it feels like you. Reach out to schedule your complimentary call or design center appointment today.
