My Philosophy
Beauty changes the way we live.
I believe the most beautiful interiors are collected, deeply personal, and created to tell the story of the people who live in them.
To me, luxury isn’t necessarily about expense. It’s about editing, intention, and surrounding yourself with things that make you feel something.

Learn the Art of Designing a Beautiful Home
The Lori Brunner Interior Design Academy
I created the Academy to teach you the principles, process, and decision-making tools professional designers use to create beautiful, cohesive rooms—and how to apply them with confidence in your own home.
As a former professor of Interior Design, I’m bringing years of teaching and professional design experience together in one place, so you can learn not just what looks beautiful, but why it works—and how to create this in YOUR home.
Interiors
Collected, Not Decorated
Rooms should tell the story of the people who live in them.
I believe the most compelling interiors feel collected over time rather than decorated all at once. I layer art, color, pattern, texture, and pieces with history to create rooms that are personal, sophisticated, and a little unexpected. The goal is never simply a beautiful room—it’s a home that tells your story.
Art
Art to Live With
I believe art should be lived with—not simply displayed. My paintings are inspired by color, place, memory, and the beauty found in everyday life. From my Love Letter to La Jolla collection to the works that fill my own home, each piece is created to bring something personal, expressive, and a little unexpected to the rooms we live in.
