Behind the Design Ivy Podcast | Lucie Ayres of 22 INTERIORS


Ivy Podcast Guest: Lucie Ayres of 22 INTERIORS


Ivy Co-Founders Alexandra Schinasi and Lee A. Rotenberg, speak to Ivy Designer Lucie Ayres of 22 INTERIORS. Listen to our entire podcast series on iTunes here.

Ivy Designer Lucie Ayres, founder of 22 INTERIORS, combines her European sensibility (she is Czech born) with her love of the American West (she has lived in LA for 12 years) to create the perfect mix of modern and classic interiors.

After graduating from the Interior Design program at Cornell University, Lucie started her career in Westchester County, New York, working for the luxury custom home builder Figaro. She made her West Coast design debut in 2009 with a re-model of a historic 1927 Spanish home that combined antiques and classic details with modern touches. The project was featured in Angeleno Magazine.

Today, 22 INTERIORS has a wide range of clients from high-profile entertainment figures to first-time home buyers, with projects that vary in size from one or two rooms to ground-up renovations.

In this Podcast, you’ll learn:

  • How Lucie established her career on the West Coast when she had her network in NY
  • Her tips on managing client communication
  • How Lucie learned from one of her biggest mistakes that’s shaped how she runs her business
