I’M ZENDY

The creative mind behind Lumi + Co. Interiors, a NYC-based studio where laid-back luxury and intentional spaces are kind of my thing. As a Taurus, I have a serious soft spot for beautiful details, cozy textures, and anything that feels luxurious (not necessarily expensive!). I believe great design should feel like home: elevated, intentional, and unmistakably you.

Why I Started My Blogging Journey

I created Sort of Chic as an extension of the work I do with clients: helping people live beautifully, with style that feels both elevated and personal. Here, I translate high-end design principles into real-life inspiration you can actually use: whether you’re styling a rental, furnishing your first home, or just dreaming up your next corner refresh.

You’ll find design breakdowns of celebrity homes, film sets, boutique hotels, and architectural gems alongside budget-friendly Room RecipesTM, curated product swaps, and behind-the-scenes insights from my own design studio.

Because great design doesn’t have to be exclusive. It doesn’t have to be expensive. And it definitely doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sort of Chic is for you if…
* You love high-end design but need budget-friendly alternatives
* You believe a space should tell a story…yours
* You’re endlessly curious about how and why beautiful spaces work
* You’re not afraid of a little personality in your paint color, quirky details, or statement decor

Whether you’re here for creative inspiration or clever solutions, I hope you’ll find something that makes your everyday feel just a little more chic.
