Our featured BOLD designers are all fabulous interior designers who are attending the Business of Luxury Design Summit this June, in Palm Springs. Liz Carroll of Liz Carroll Interiors is North Carolina has mastered the crisp, airy, coastal aesthetic with her clean, sophisticated designs.

Liz’s eagerness to stay up on the latest and greatest in the industry has her constantly using her own home as a testing ground to ensure her client projects are a great success. Being a mom and wife plays an important role in helping Liz create interiors that are both durable and chic.

It is her affinity to mixing periods and styles that helps Liz to create a signature look that is fresh and current but rooted in timeless tradition. The result… function married to style with a lot of longevity and a dash of fun.
