A Note from Carrissa

March felt quieter on the surface—but behind the scenes, it was a season of clearing.

Not just within our homes, but internally too, as I’ve been refining the vision for what Lavish Interiors & More is becoming.

As we step into April and the energy of the Pink Moon, I can feel that shift—from releasing what no longer serves us to nurturing what’s ready to grow. It’s the point where ideas start to take shape and things begin to come to life again.

At Lavish, that’s looked like stepping back, simplifying, and being really intentional about how we serve you—through design, inspiration, and creating spaces that truly support your everyday life.

If March was about creating space, April feels like choosing what to fill it with—intentionally, beautifully, and with what matters most.

Warmly,

Carrissa Hickey


Designing for the Season You’re In

Design isn’t just about how a space looks—it’s about how it feels and supports your life, day to day.

We recently designed a playroom within a grandparents’ home—a space where weekends unfold, creativity thrives, and both kids and adults feel at ease. Thoughtful storage, soft textures, and a flexible layout allow it to feel both elevated and effortlessly livable.

To bring this vision to life, we created a curated moodboard featuring the exact pieces used throughout the design.


Behind the Scenes: A Space in Progress

Not every space begins polished.

Right now, we’re in the early stages of designing a lower level—where ideas are still evolving and the vision is just beginning to take shape. This phase is where the most important work happens:

Where layout meets lifestyle
Where function is prioritized before aesthetics
Where every detail is considered with intention

I’ll be sharing more of this process as the space comes to life—step by step.

From framing to drywall - the early layers of a space coming to life.


What’s Unfolding at Lavish

This season feels like a turning point—in the best way.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been mapping out the next chapter for Lavish Interiors & More—refining our direction, expanding our offerings, and creating new ways to support you in your home.

From curated shopping experiences to fresh design inspiration, everything is evolving with intention.

There’s a lot unfolding, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.


A Simple Way to Get Started

If you’ve been feeling the pull to refresh a space, make more confident decisions, or finally bring a vision together—this is your moment to begin.

Designer Mini Sessions are designed to give you clarity, direction, and a plan you can actually move forward with—without the overwhelm.

Whether it’s one room or one decision you’ve been stuck on, sometimes a single conversation is all it takes to shift everything.

As we move into this new season, I just want to say thank you for being here.

Whether you’re building, refreshing, dreaming, or simply gathering inspiration—I’m so grateful to have you as part of this community.

With love,

Carrissa
