This week, Elyse and Laurent sit down with LA Design legend Robert Steloff to talk Romance.

In a world dominated by online shopping and digital renderings, what happens when we slow down and truly engage with interior design? In this episode of Clutter Bravado, we sit down with renowned designer Robert Steloff to explore the lost art of experiencing design in person—what we’re calling the romance of interior design.

From the tactile pleasure of running your hand across a handcrafted wood table to the personal connection formed when meeting skilled furniture makers, Robert shares why in-person experiences, sensory design, and artisanal craftsmanship are essential to creating meaningful interiors. We discuss the importance of high-quality materials, custom furniture, and intentional home design, as well as why a space can’t be fully appreciated through a screen.

If you’re a design enthusiast, homeowner, or interior professional looking to reconnect with authentic, timeless, and experiential interior design, this conversation will change the way you see—and feel—your home.
