Lakesha Rose, founder and principal at L Rose Interiors, explains how Chicago's inclement weather affects the interior design of a home.
Haute Design: How much should the interior design of a space change depending on the seasons?
Lakesha Rose: Very little because if the overall design has been thoughtfully curated, you won’t want to change much. That said, I would like to suggest, seasonal flowers, candles, seasonal pillows that were curated with the original design to be able to change during the season(s) of your choice.
HD: Is there any climate for which it is more difficult to design?
LR: No, there are countless possibilities for designing in accordance with any and every season.

HD: What is the main criterion for a home in Chicago that is designed to endure the harsh winter months?
LR: Texture during the winter months provides a cozy home feel. I burn candles all the time and during dinner at home often dim the lights and light a candelabra at the dinner table during the winter.
HD: What are three easy ways to warm up an interior?
LR: Cozy texture, candles and dim lighting.
