Two friends. Two new homebuyers. One passion for design.
As we embarked on our new journey as homeowners, we noticed that velvet throw pillows became less of a want and more of a need! With the purchase of our new homes, we no longer had a huge desire to buy the latest bags or highest stilettos but we now had a craving for chandeliers and Venetian style Mirrors. When neighbors, friends and family started asking us to help them decorate, we realized it was more than a hobby but a passion; which eventually led us to establish 7 Lux Essentials.
