In this episode of the Peer 2 Peer podcast, host Amandork interviews Larry Hill, an up-and-coming interior designer and owner of House of Hill Design Studio. Larry shares insights into his bold, eclectic design style, which is a refreshing contrast to the prevalent neutral and farmhouse aesthetics.⭐️
Larry discusses the importance of work-life balance and how he has been achieving it through various activities, such as taking cruises and attending Beyoncé's concert in Kansas City, Missouri. He emphasizes the value of stepping away from work to recharge and avoid burnout.🎧
When asked about design trends for 2024, Larry expresses excitement about the shift towards creating spaces that reflect the homeowner's personality, moving away from the ubiquitous beige and gray palettes. He believes this trend has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as people have spent more time at home and prioritized personalization.💫
Larry also shares his experience with the interior design bootcamp he attended, which helped him gain direction and discover his niche in the industry. The bootcamp focused on the business aspects of interior design, such as client onboarding, project planning, and marketing, which are often overlooked in traditional design education.🧨 The conversation highlights the importance of self-discovery and honing one's unique design style and target audience. Larry emphasizes that having a clear niche and consistent messaging is crucial for attracting the right clients and building a successful design business💡
I'm SOOO excited to share the deets on my recent project with the one and only Larry Hill from @houseofhilldesignstudio. This guy is seriously a design genius - his vibrant, luxe style is right up my alley!⚡️
The Backstory
As you know, I'm an AWARD-WINNING, accredited interior designer who specializes in creating bold, vibrant, and colorful spaces. I'm known for my out-of-the-box thinking and edgy designs, always working to bring my clients' FUN personalities to life.🙌
After OVER a decade in the industry, I've transitioned to mentoring and coaching other designers, helping them build their own SUCCESSFUL, profitable eDesign businesses. I'm also a total boss when it comes to brand strategy, elevating my peers' social media and websites 🖥
The Collab
So when I heard that my friend and fellow designer, Larry Hill, was building his dream home from scratch, I knew we HAD to team up. Larry had created a killer mood board to use as the jumping-off point, and we got to work.💥
I've always loved and admired Larry's ENERGETIC, VIBRANT, and LUXE design style. In fact, I was blown away by the show stopping piece he created for my Birthday Bedroom Challenge, where he participated alongside 77 other designers.🎂
Well, lightning has struck twice, because our latest collab is equally as impressive. Larry and I each put our own unique spin on the dining room concept, and the results are nothing short of SPECTACULAR.🎁
The Designs
As you can imagine, BOTH designs ooze all things Larry - they're fun, fully inspired, and showcase his signature style. But I also brought my own SASSY, witty touch to the mix, creating a delightfully different twist.
Larry's design is an absolute SHOWSTOPPER, bursting with vibrant colors and luxurious textures. It's the perfect reflection of his energetic personality. 🍾
And of course, my concept is equally as impressive, with my signature out-of-the-box thinking shining through.☀️
The Takeaway
I was THRILLED to have the chance to work with Larry one-on-one through my eDesign Bootcamp, where he shared that the program covered so much of what they don't teach you when you're out on your own.😜
Now, the dynamic duo is excited to share our collaborative MAGIC with the world. Be sure to head over to @houseofhilldesignstudio to get more bold and vibrant design inspo off his account. Trust me, you're going to love them! 🤯
I'm so GRATEFUL to have been able to share that knowledge with him, but above all, I just love Larry's unique style and approach to design.🎸
As a designer, I'm always encouraging my clients and peers to go bold, break the norm, and don't be scared to showcase their AUTHENTIC selves. That's why I was so excited to collaborate with Larry on a FUN dining design project.💣
We figured it would be the PERFECT way to blend our rebel-with-a-cause design aesthetics and create something truly one-of-a-kind. And who knows, maybe this is just the start of an EPIC design partnership. 🦖
I'd LOVE to get the chance to work on Larry's branding someday, because I truly believe that's where the magic happens – when you can take a designer's unique vision and translate it into a killer brand that commands attention.👽 So, my fellow design REBELS, keep an eye out for the big reveal of our dining design collab, and in the meantime, be sure to check out the full podcast episode where Larry and I dish on all the juicy details. 🤘 Let's keep PUSHING the boundaries and showing the world that design can be as bold and unapologetic as we are!✨
