Interior Designers & House Decorators Near Edina

Tucked into an established neighborhood, this new build brings a modern-day spin to traditional design. Inspired by the airiness and tranquility of California style, our clients asked Fika to bring our design expertise to the entire home, creating spaces that feel both refined and relaxed. With two young children and busy professional lives, they wanted a place to exhale at the end of the day while still reflecting their personal style. The expansive main level opens to the outdoors, establishing a seamless flow that feels fresh, light, and welcoming, perfectly capturing the essence of casual California living right here in Minnesota.

After living in their 1936 five-bedroom home for decades, our clients decided it was time to downsize. With their children having moved out of state and the couple spending more time there themselves, they needed a home that required less upkeep and allowed for extended travel without worry. They found the perfect solution in a townhouse at 50th & France in Edina and turned to Lilu to transform it into their new dream home. Lilu developed a comprehensive remodeling plan that focused on the main bathrooms, incorporating fresh traditional elements while preserving the townhouse's layout. To recreate the style of their beloved 1930s home, which was full of happy colors and a classic traditional yet slightly preppy tone, we crafted a color palette featuring yellow, pink, and green in different proportions and tones. This approach allowed for the seamless integration of their cherished furnishings from the previous home into the new space. One of the significant challenges of this project was transforming a townhouse with a mashup of modern elements and traditional Mediterranean style, characterized by dark wood, into a fresh traditional townhome that better aligned with our clients' vision. To achieve this, we reworked architectural elements and finishes and installed wing walls to create a cohesive design that reflected their desire for a timeless yet lively living environment.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Edina, this larger home was appointed in a very traditional style. When our client's family moved to Minnesota from California, they brought with them a more modern and functional sensibility. The home had great spaces and an efficient layout but felt fussy and lacked being a family friendly backdrop to this active family of five. Throughout the main level finishes and lighting were changed to convey a cleaner, more neutral, and modern feeling. Wood shutters were removed to let the light sine in. All new furnishings were purchased for dining and eat-in kitchen spaces, and the spacious family/living room. Items selected kept resiliency and durability in mind while not loosing warmth and touch. A newly shaped island and counter tops made for a more timeless kitchen in general. A heavy traditional fireplace with flanking built-ins was the focal point of the open spaces. This entire wall was reimagines with a streamlined fireplace made of reclaimed limestone from France. The existing gas fireplace was repurposed but in a much simpler way. This sun filled main level is not only, brighter and lighter, but much more comfortable...making a perfect homebase for this lovely family!
