The living room is anchored by a dramatic double-height bookcase that transforms the space into a personal library and architectural focal point. Reaching toward the soaring ceiling, the custom shelving is accessed by a rolling ladder that adds both function and timeless character. Curated books, collected objects, and artwork fill the shelves, creating a layered display that reflects the homeowner's story and passions. Comfortable seating, warm textures, and thoughtful lighting balance the scale of the room, making it equally suited for quiet reading, intimate conversation, and entertaining. The result is a living space that feels grand yet inviting, where every detail contributes to a sense of warmth, personality, and discovery.

Inspired by the tranquility of a lush woodland, this bathroom immerses you in a rich, nature-inspired palette. A dramatic Schumacher forest mural wallpaper wraps the space in layers of depth and atmosphere, setting the tone for a bold yet serene retreat. Black marble introduces striking contrast and timeless sophistication, while richly textured mosaic tile adds craftsmanship and visual rhythm. Custom moss-green cabinetry grounds the composition, echoing the colors of the surrounding landscape and providing warmth against the darker finishes. Together, these elements create an intimate, immersive space where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.

We completely reworked the pantry to include more storage (see Before pictures).

Custom locally built dining table designed by For a family wanting a dramatic entry and dining room, but with requirements that it be an indestructible venue for weekly brunches with guest lists including small children! Our first solution was to create a contrasting border integral to the hardwood floor, in lieu of an area rug. From there, we introduced furniture in resilient materials such as fiberglass chairs and a locally made custom table of Heather's design in reclaimed hardwood, steel and acrylic. Luxurious drapes, dramatic accessories and a chandelier with glimmer added the required panache.

Evolved in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, this Colorado Contemporary home features a blend of materials to complement the surrounding landscape. This home triggered a blast into a quartz geode vein which inspired a classy chic style interior and clever use of exterior materials. These include flat rusted siding to bring out the copper veins, Cedar Creek Cascade thin stone veneer speaks to the surrounding cliffs, Stucco with a finish of Moondust, and rough cedar fine line shiplap for a natural yet minimal siding accent. Its dramatic yet tasteful interiors, of exposed raw structural steel, Calacatta Classique Quartz waterfall countertops, hexagon tile designs, gold trim accents all the way down to the gold tile grout, reflects the Chic Colorado while providing cozy and intimate spaces throughout.

With adjacent neighbors within a fairly dense section of Paradise Valley, Arizona, C.P. Drewett sought to provide a tranquil retreat for a new-to-the-Valley surgeon and his family who were seeking the modernism they loved though had never lived in. With a goal of consuming all possible site lines and views while maintaining autonomy, a portion of the house — including the entry, office, and master bedroom wing — is subterranean. This subterranean nature of the home provides interior grandeur for guests but offers a welcoming and humble approach, fully satisfying the clients requests.
While the lot has an east-west orientation, the home was designed to capture mainly north and south light which is more desirable and soothing. The architecture’s interior loftiness is created with overlapping, undulating planes of plaster, glass, and steel. The woven nature of horizontal planes throughout the living spaces provides an uplifting sense, inviting a symphony of light to enter the space. The more voluminous public spaces are comprised of stone-clad massing elements which convert into a desert pavilion embracing the outdoor spaces. Every room opens to exterior spaces providing a dramatic embrace of home to natural environment.

The material palette began with a rich, tonal, large-format Quartzite stone cladding. The stone’s tones gaveforth the rest of the material palette including a champagne-colored metal fascia, a tonal stucco system, and ceilings clad with hemlock, a tight-grained but softer wood that was tonally perfect with the rest of the materials. The interior case goods and wood-wrapped openings further contribute to the tonal harmony of architecture and materials.

We juxtaposed bold colors and contemporary furnishings with the early twentieth-century interior architecture for this four-level Pacific Heights Edwardian. The home's showpiece is the living room, where the walls received a rich coat of blackened teal blue paint with a high gloss finish, while the high ceiling is painted off-white with violet undertones. Against this dramatic backdrop, we placed a streamlined sofa upholstered in an opulent navy velour and companioned it with a pair of modern lounge chairs covered in raspberry mohair. An artisanal wool and silk rug in indigo, wine, and smoke ties the space together.

This vibrant sitting area layers color and form to create a bold yet balanced retreat. A blush velvet sofa introduces warmth and softness, while sculptural navy lounge chairs add depth and contrast. The dramatic abstract artwork anchors the room, drawing the eye upward and reinforcing the curated, gallery-like feel.
A rich marble coffee table grounds the seating arrangement, complemented by subtle patterned textiles and tonal drapery that frame expansive glass doors. Natural light pours in from the adjacent outdoor space, blurring the line between interior and garden and enhancing the room’s inviting atmosphere. The coral-toned ceiling adds an unexpected design moment, elevating the space with personality and confidence.
The result is a thoughtfully layered interior that feels artistic, modern, and effortlessly sophisticated.

This dramatic primary bathroom remodel was designed to feel bold, timeless, and luxurious—balancing high-contrast elegance with warm brass details. We reimagined the space with a new layout featuring a freestanding soaking tub as the focal point, framed by custom cabinetry and oversized mirrors for a symmetrical, elevated look.
The design blends crisp white walls with rich dark finishes, creating a striking black-and-white palette with a touch of glamour. Brushed brass plumbing fixtures, statement lighting, and custom millwork add warmth and sophistication, while large-format marble flooring keeps the space bright and refined.
Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the curated decorative wall moment to the sleek, modern shower—resulting in a bathroom that feels both dramatic and serene, perfect for everyday comfort and luxury living.

Designed for a luxury Santa Barbara residence, this contemporary kitchen blends striking architecture with effortless livability. A sculptural waterfall island, custom cabinetry, illuminated display shelving, and expansive open-concept planning create a space that is both functional and visually dramatic. Thoughtfully layered materials and refined detailing reflect Andrea Schumacher Interiors' signature approach to modern California luxury.

Their search took more than 1½ years, but once Susie and Matt saw the expansive view of the Stone Arch Bridge reaching across the Mississippi River, they knew they had found their new home. Life had changed dramatically for these homeowners since becoming empty nesters and grandparents. And they felt a vibrant city life was calling them downtown. These avid travelers appreciated the convenience of condo living. At the same time their love of entertaining required a space where they could comfortably host large gatherings of family and friends. This condo offered a blank canvas. LiLu Interiors was called in to design a custom space that fit their lifestyle. Every square inch of the condo was remodeled to be modern, grand-kid friendly and take advantage of the stunning view of the Mississippi.
