TBT: FLA Design on the Fly with Maria Failla, Part I
In this episode of The Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I had the joy of reconnecting with my friend Maria Failla from Growing Joy, who recently moved from New York City to Florida and is navigating the design of her new family home. We discussed her journey of transitioning from a small apartment filled with houseplants to a larger space, and how she's struggling to define her personal interior design style apart from her brand. Together, we explored the concept of biophilic design and how it can complement her love for natural elements, ultimately landing on the idea of combining mid-century modern with earthy tones. We also tackled practical design questions, like choosing the right rug size and creating distinct zones in her open living space, all while ensuring her existing furniture and decor fit seamlessly into her new aesthetic. Join us as we continue to explore Maria's design journey and share insights that can inspire your own home transformation!
