At Lagnappe Custom Interiors, design is about capturing the essence of how you want to live. With over three decades of experience designing primary residences and vacation properties in the U.S. Virgin Islands and beyond, we’ve learned that the most successful spaces are the ones that reflect the confidence and individuality of our clients.
Designing fearlessly isn’t about being loud or maximalist for the sake of trend. It’s about leaning into bold ideas when they speak to you and knowing when your heart wants something a little bit more. Whether it’s a high-drama palette, a sculptural lighting fixture, or a soft but mighty palette of pale neutrals—fearless design starts with trusting your interior designer and your instincts.
Embracing the Power of Fearless Design
As your design advocate, we help you uncover the vision that is already part of your life. Our role is not to impose a style or prescribe a look, but to act as your collaborator and to bring clarity, creativity, and strategy to your design journey. If you’re drawn to the rich patina of hand-finished wood, the layering of collected textiles, or the statement of a single piece of natural stone, we help translate your personal style into a cohesive, meaningful home. One that is not afraid of what others think or what is trending. Think of us as your design therapists, we help you find the confidence to embrace what you love without second-guessing yourself.
Designing fearlessly also means stepping beyond your comfort zone. While Pinterest boards and social media are full of inspiration, your home should reflect the essence of you. We’re jumping for joy to see a shift away from griege and minimalism and a resurgence of warmth, personality, and permanence. Think jewel tones, curated collections, nostalgic mementos, and layered materials that remind you that the little moments are just as beautiful as the big ones.
Fearless Doesn’t Mean Flashy—It Means Intentional
Fearlessness isn’t always loud. In fact, some of the most courageous interiors we’ve designed have been grounded in quiet luxury: spaces that reflect deep restraint, thoughtfulness, and clarity of purpose. No matter if your heart smiles at the sight of sun-washed tones or moody charcoals, fearless design is about honoring what feels honest and good to you. Oftentimes editing the options is the real courage of design.
For some, that means enveloping a room in deep navy walls and plush velvet upholstery. For others, it’s clean-lined cabinetry paired with softly veined marble and the organic texture of coral stone. The key is choosing what resonates and doing so with conviction. If you’re not sure how to bring that vision to life? That’s where we come in.
The Transformative Impact of Fearless Choices
We often hear from clients that working with a designer can feel intimidating. They’re worried that they’ll be handed a look instead of discovering their own. But that’s never the case with our team. The reason we love what we do so much is because we’re invited into your world. We study your lifestyle, truly listen to your needs, and take a walk in your shoes so that we can distill the very best parts of you into your home’s interiors.
Each design decision is made with intention. Everything from layout planning to layers of elements and materials can and should be curated fearlessly. With the background of your life as our guide and our industry knowledge, we know which details will make the biggest impact on the way you want to live and enrich the way you see and engage with your home.
