Design of the Times

Sharron Lewis Design Central

You hung a sparkly light fixture. Filled a vase with beads and bamboo. Traded your pillowy sleeper sofa for something angular and white.

Still, you just can’t re-create the chic lounge at [insert hot hotel here].

Better leave the logistics to the expert. Interior designer Sharron Lewis has spiffed up decor at notable spots around town (like Sagamore’s Social Miami), but her new one-stop design shop will bring it all home.

The sprawling showroom has everything from stylish yet bum-friendly couches to timeless Italian flatware to fragrant grapefruit soap. Lewis designs all the furniture herself (custom made at her factory up the street) and has a whole library of catalogs on flooring, fixtures, and fabrics.

Peruse her offerings while sipping a cappuccino from the coffee bar — all the while knowing that everything is surprisingly affordable.

Which means you’ll still be able to hit [insert hot hotel here]. Not that you’d really want to.

Home, after all, is where the hip is.
