099 Perla Lichi_Rev - The Perfect Home Book Series

PERLA LICHI DESIGN
fort lauderdale, florida
Award-winning interior designer Perla Lichi has been in
business in Fort Lauderdale for more than fifteen years,
operating on the philosophy that “for some people ‘less
is more’ but for others ‘more is better.’” She can provide
complete turnkey interior design including built-ins,
ceiling design, floor design, wall finishes and window
treatments—whatever it takes to complete each project
within aesthetic and practical guidelines. During a
recent television appearance, Lichi described her firm as
providing the A-to-Z interior design experience, “from
the surfaces to the last little pillow on the sofa.” Under
her nom de plume “The Décor Diva,” Lichi authors a
syndicated Q&A newspaper column about decorating,
and, in 2001, she introduced her first book, You Deserve
Beautiful Rooms. Her second book, You Too Deserve
Beautiful Rooms, was released in September 2005. Lichi
has created award-winning interiors for private clients,
among them many professional athletes, and for
builders and developers to use in their model homes and
public spaces. Her firm works locally, nationally and
internationally and, over the years, has won more than
two hundred prestigious awards for excellence in
interior design.
The master suite in this Florida villa, with its gold and silver leaf, upholstered headboard and hand-painted murals, resembles a Venetian palazzo.
