LITTLE CROWN INTERIORS Los Angeles Interior design is filled with riddles and challenges to overcome. They say a bolt of lightning never strikes twice on the same spot, and we can surely adapt that metaphor t o i n t e r i o r d e s i g n .

N a o m i ’s c r e a t i v e m o d e r n b o h e m i a n i n t e r i o r s allow children to pursue their most creative thoughts while maintaining a stylish and calm environment. One of the things that attracts Naomi the most to her work is the availability to work with her and the client’s imagination. Working in nurseries and children’s bedrooms allow a bolder use of colour and, as Naomi says, ”patterns and décor that wouldn’t otherwise show up in the main areas of the home. That sense of whimsy really makes my work fun!” For Naomi, the most challenging part of her career was in 2007, when she was launching Little Crown Interiors. The designer said that there weren’t many specialized nursery and children’s furniture brands and manufacturers, which meant it was hard to source some pieces for her designs. That, aligned with the fact that social media weren’t as powerful as they are today, created the biggest challenges in the designer’s then recently-born studio, ” We had to rely on more traditional marketing to get our name out there.“ Regarding the Future and what goals are left to achieve, Naomi has her hands full of plans for what is yet to come. “My goals are constantly changing, and I always see new things on the horizon. I would love to have a product line someday. Designing products is very different from designing rooms, but it’s something I would love to explore.” - Naomi Alon Coe What fulfills Naomi is the unique ability and privilege she has to design interiors that truly delight her clients in a unique way – the joy of creating a space for a new family member. The look on their face when they see the finished room is always so wonderful! says Naomi, and we can take her word on it.
