Designs in a Box: Lily Z Interior Decor & Consultation

Lily Z wants you to fall madly in love with your home and she's created a DIY interiors package to help you do just that on a budget. The $650 Z Box takes the aesthetic guesswork out of your makeover by providing you with an in-home consultation followed by a scaled floor plan, fabric and paint samples, specific furniture needs and a shopping list. You're also given a presentation of what's needed at the end of the 2/3 week process, plus an optional round of edits if the look isn't exactly right. For Lily Z and her team, designing a room is like pulling together a painting, with all the elements coordinated and complementary. Her advice to clients is commit to a look, explore options and don't be afraid to include an element of surprise.
