In a recent edition of the Haute Design Webinar series, Elizabeth Cinquini took a moment from her demanding schedule to speak with Haute Living Co-Founder Seth Semilof. Their engaging discussion delves into Elizabeth's impressive journey as an interior designer, tracing her path from her early days in New York to becoming the founder of Elizabeth Cinquini Interiors in Naples, Florida. Today, Elizabeth stands as a pioneer in the field, offering a unique blend of creativity, inspiration, and outstanding success to her clients, distinguishing her from the average interior designer.
Seth Semilof: If someone asked you what your style is, how would you explain your style? Elizabeth Cinquini : My style is a bit more eclectic. It's timeless, it mixes in a few different styles. So it's a little bit mid century modern.
It's a little bit contemporary. It's a little bit vintage, but I design around the client so I get to know them. And then I figure out what their style is, because a lot of the time they don't know.
But I'm never gonna do anything that's just modern, or that's just contemporary, because to me I need to layer in other elements to make it interesting and feel curated and special. I never want to design something that looks like it could be anywhere else. It's always gonna a wow.
Seth Semilof: Can you walk us through a typical project, from initial concept to completion? What are some of the key steps and considerations that you do as an interior designer for your clients. .
