In this episode of the ROCC Pod, we welcome Lindsey Collins, the founder of LMC Interiors, as we explore her journey in the interior design industry and her insights on emerging trends. Lindsey shares how her business began in 2005 after encouragement from her first job to launch a side business. With a degree in interior design from Kendall College of Art and Design and a background in graphic design and art history, Lindsey built a referral-based business specializing in kitchen and bath design.

We discuss the significance of kitchens as the heart of the home. Lindsey explains how open concepts, larger islands, and furniture-like cabinetry are revolutionizing kitchen design. She also highlights current trends, including bold colors like deep greens and burgundies, natural materials such as rift-cut white oak and walnut, and combinations of metal, glass, and stone. Lindsey shares her preference for using advanced software like Chief Architect, SketchUp, and 2020 to create 3D renderings that help clients visualize their designs.

Lindsey describes her client-focused approach, starting with consultations to understand needs, timelines, and budgets. While she doesn’t maintain a showroom, she partners with the Michigan Design Center and other resources to provide access to the latest materials and trends.

On a personal note, Lindsey reveals her love for travel, boating on Lake St. Clair, and her new Shichon puppies, Sydney and Sophie. She emphasizes the importance of blending lifestyle, materials, and creativity in her designs, as reflected in her business name, LMC Interiors.
