The Case Against Cookie-Cutter Design
The Case Against Cookie-Cutter Design
In a world saturated with Pinterest boards, fast furniture, and fleeting design trends, it’s easy to see how homes are starting to all look the same. Perfectly styled, perfectly trendy… but often missing the individuality that makes a space belong to the people who live there. We believe your home should tell your story, not mimic somebody else’s. The spaces you live in every day are too important, too personal, and too full of potential to be reduced to a trend cycle.
Cookie-cutter design may be convenient, but it lacks soul. The story of your life—the milestones, travels, collections, and memories—deserves to be reflected in the spaces you inhabit. That’s why we steer away from formulaic interiors in favor of homes that feel deeply layered and personal.
We believe in the idea that a house should evolve with you. Whether it’s commissioning a custom piece of art, layering textiles collected from your travels, or weaving in heirlooms with new furnishings, these are the details that transform four walls into a home. Designing in this way requires more intention and care, but it’s also what makes the process so rewarding. Instead of chasing trends that quickly fade, we focus on creating spaces that stand the test of time. Forever homes reflect the individuality of the people who live in them.
Trends will always come and go, but a home that reflects who you are holds lasting significance. That’s the difference between a space that looks good today and one that still feels meaningful years from now. At LMI, our goal is always to craft forever homes that are as unique as the lives lived within them.
