Lindye Galloway started her eponymous studio as a “solo passion project”. Now, her firm has grown into a talented team of designers who deliver the studio’s “effortless take on a California style” to projects all across the country. It’s easy to see why her style is so in-demand. With a knack for fusing elegant finishes with earthy hues and soothing textures, her schemes offer laid-back California comfort with a tailored, timeless sensibility. Now, she’s launched The Lindye Galloway Shop, where design enthusiasts can achieve the same luxe-but-laid-back look with a curated selection of Lindye’s favorite finds.
