Lauren Li's approach to accessible interior design makes her trend guides and interiors pieces some of the most popular stories on The Design Files, so if you hang out for her monthly column you'll love this in-depth conversation between Lauren and host, Lucy Feagins!
Before she was the founder of Sisällä Interior Design studio, Lauren worked in big commercial interior design firms locally and overseas, acquiring the skills and knowledge (and some deft software skills!) that formed the foundations to set up her own small business. Here, she talks about her creative career, the secrets to creating a personal interior specific to you, and her predictions for future trends.
Alongside her design and columnist skills, sign-ups for Lauren's new project - an online community and learning hub for designers named The Design Society - are open now!

Pip Newell was still at university when she accidentally started Curated Spaces after re-selling some dining chairs to a local Facebook group with great success. While she was getting by on a mish-mash of nannying and hospitality jobs on the side of a photography degree, the online world had quietly heralded a new age for vintage furniture. With a natural flair for styling and a sincere joy for hunting the internet for new finds, Pip would go on to completely redefine the vintage furniture selling space with the power of social media.Now, her platform is a nation-wide dealership with over 120,000 followers (including Ariana Grande!) and a network of sellers all around the country. In this episode, Pip talks with TDF’s managing editor (and her old housemate!) Sally Tabart about the past, present and future of the Curated Spaces universe.Country Road’s Managing Director On The Stickiness Of Sustainable Fashion, On TDF Talks
