Our designs always feature small details that bring, texture, interest and something unexpected to your room.   It may be modern chair or a one-of-a-kind piece of antiquity; but either way, you can be sure we employed the most efficient method to find it.  Some design firms pride themselves on trotting the globe to find the perfect furnishings.  But that comes at a hefty price.  In order to give you the best value, we ally ourselves with dependable vendors and highly skilled artisans.  Whether they are  abroad or right in our backyard, we realize you don’t have the time to find them so we make it our business to seek them out.  This equation results in exotic, unusual and cutting edge pieces that make for a well-designed home with distinctive details.  All this plus money to spend on your own trip to Europe instead of ours.

If you appreciate both the finer and simpler things in life and insist on exceptional customer service and results, Lorrie Browne Interiors is the choice for you, too.  Call us at 561.791.8585 today.

Smart technology has spread from phones to cars and into homes.  As a tech-savvy design firm, we help you keep up with all the latest advances that make your home not only beautiful but also highly sophisticated and well-engineered. I am sure you’ve heard of automating your lighting, temperature controls and music but another great and unexpected example is window coverings.  Florida homes have large windows and  and get lots of sun so this is key.

We have been installing remote control motorized window treatments for years. They are the perfect solution for grand-scaled windows and for opening up the draperies while you laze in bed.  Now we are taking that a step further by marrying motorization with automation.  By doing so, we can automate any type of window treatments to open and close when programmed.  This allows you to conserve energy, retain privacy and make your interior more comfortable at any time of day.  They can be programmed to operate in conjunction with your work schedule, your vacations or even the weather.  This includes draperies, natural blinds and solar shades. We make it look easy but it does require a well-coordinated team as we work with our window treatment installers and home automation professionals.  So if you’d like to tie your window coverings into your home automation scheme, give us a call and we’d be happy to explore the options with you.

Montreal in Metallic Gold

Thibaut is a company that I have long depended on a for lovely wallpapers that work beautifully with the color palettes our clients favor.  Bright corals, lively aquas and warm neutrals for every room in your home.  Just recently they teamed up with Alpha Workshops and the new Artisan collection is a wonderful new direction.  Many of the papers are hand-blocked  or have that effect with gives them a wonderful artisanal quality.  The colors are more muted and the papers are classic but with some modern updates. Forgot wallpapers that take over your room.  These papers offer texture, color and a lovely backdrop to solid or printed fabrics.  They will give your room a cohesive feel that still allows you to change fabrics in the future.

La Gioconda - White and Grey

Gingko is one of my favorites, available in 8 different colorways and features just what you would expect….beautifully styled Gingko Biloba leaves in metallic and matte finishes as well.  La Giocanda is a soft trellis pattern that would be soothing and lovely for a bedroom in Metallic and Plum.

Lastly Maryse features hand stamped medallions that would be equally at home in study or bedroom.  I have been designing homes a long time but every new collection energizes me and I am excited with by the possibilities.  Maybe these patterns will appear in your home soon!

Design is in the Details

March 3, 2011 by Lorrie | Leave a comment

When you experience a stunning interior, you may not know why it captures you.  Consciously, you love the the whole room but subconsciously you are picking up on all the little details.  And that’s what makes great interior design.  It’s the trim on the pillow, the curve on the sconce, the aged finishes that complement each other but don’t necessarily “match”.  These are the skills of a seasoned designer and what I can bring to your Wellington, Florida home because I’ve done this for years.  The recipe for a well-designed home is a combination of quality furnishings, stunning fabrics, complex color palettes and intriguing lighting that brings it all to life.  I have all the resources and contacts to make that happen.

It can be difficult to step back and look at your room objectively to figure out what’s missing so that’s where I come in.  As soon as I walk into a room I immediately know what needs to be done to bring balance and ease to the space. Take a look at my portfolio and you will quickly see I can achieve this in any style, including yours.  And that’s only half of it.  I bring with me the most skilled people in the area to get it done skillfully and dependably.

So if you are ready to upgrade, decorate or freshen up your Wellington, Florida home, give Lorrie Browne Interiors a call.  We are specialists in making your life easy and your surroundings magnificent!

We Decorate Your Home While You’re at the WEF

February 2, 2011 by Lorrie | Leave a comment

It take lots of practice and organization to move your life to the Wellington Equestrian Festival for 3  months.  I know because I have lots of clients who do it without skipping a beat.  Trucks, horses, tack, kids and dogs. You do it every year because it’s worth it! Once you are here,  you enjoy the sun, social life and equestrian events.  But at the end of the day, you want to return to a beautiful, comfortable home and that’s where you often run out of time. It would be nice to have friends over and entertain more but it seems the house is never done.   That’s why you need to give me a call.

Ask any of my clients and they will tell you, when you hire me, you don’t just get creative and beautiful designs, you get a whole team of experts too.

“We could not be happier with the finished product. Lorrie’s financial training (MBA) made the accounting on such a large project one of the easiest parts. We have complete records and were able to stay on budget. Another asset she brings to a project is a great collection of picture framers, drapery and upholstery people, faux painters, electricians, and handy-men who help her create her vision. Whether we were doing a ground up installation like we did or just re-doing a room, we would certainly use Lorrie Browne Interiors and recommend her without reservation to others.”

~Stephen & April Harris, Knoxville TN & Wellington, FL
