Designer Crush Q&A: Molly Luetkemeyer

By Rachel Greenberg / 05/21/13 at 10:00 am / Comments

When looking through projects completed by Molly Luetkemeyer of M. Design, the CH+D web team was oohing and aahing like crazy. How can you not get excited when you see such stunning rooms filled to the brink with color, texture and pattern? Since M. Design was founded in 2001, Molly has been bringing her signature "contemporary Bohemian style" to interiors, commercial spaces, and a few speciality projects (like our Small Space Big Style Showcases) and creating rooms with drama and whimsey that are still totally livable. We adore her appreciation for mixing patterns, her fresh take on bold colors, and how every room she creates seems to flourish with the addition of fresh flowers.

We are so inspired by the risks (that always seem to pay off) Molly takes with her design, and are so excited to bring you her answers to the Designer Crush Q&A!
