How Editorial and Interior Design Influence Our Floral Work
At Lavish Leaf, floral design has always been shaped by disciplines beyond floristry itself.
Interiors.
Fashion.
Editorial styling.
Architecture.
Beauty.
Experiential design.
Each continues to influence the way we approach atmosphere, composition, texture, and visual storytelling.
Before flowers became our Founder/Creative Director primary medium, years were spent working within highly visual creative industries where every detail contributed to emotional experience. That background continues to inform how we design today — not simply creating arrangements, but building environments that feel intentional and immersive.
Editorial influence appears strongly within our approach to composition.
Adama is drawn to florals that feel cinematic rather than overly traditional. Movement is often prioritized over symmetry. Negative space becomes as important as abundance. Arrangements are designed to feel natural yet highly considered, much like an editorial image where every visual element carries purpose.
Interior design influences her understanding of space itself.
Flowers should not exist separately from architecture or furnishings. They should respond to them.
This means considering:
scale relationships
lighting
materiality
texture
spatial rhythm
color balance
emotional atmosphere
A floral composition inside a modern hospitality environment should feel different than one created for a historic interior or private residence. The visual language shifts depending on the architecture and emotional tone of the environment.
Adama is also deeply inspired by fashion houses and ateliers that understand restraint, craftsmanship, and refinement. Some of the strongest luxury experiences are built through subtle details rather than excess — a philosophy that continues to shape our floral perspective profoundly.
Ultimately, these influences allow Lavish Leaf to approach florals through a multidisciplinary lens.
Not simply as arrangements.
But as part of a larger conversation surrounding art, interiors, atmosphere, and experience.
