Fresh Finds & Rustic Vibes at Flower Child
Hi roomies, it’s Roma! You know I love bringing you along on my design adventures, and today we’re doing something a little different. Instead of starting with a fabric swatch or a Pinterest board, I’m heading straight into one of my favorite restaurants in Summerlin — Flower Child.
Now, before we go any further, let me just clear the air — this isn’t sponsored. Nope, Flower Child has no clue I’m even writing this. It’s just a spot my daughter and I adore, and honestly, every time we go, I leave not just with a happy tummy but also with a notebook full of ideas. Because here’s the secret: design inspiration is everywhere if you’re paying attention.
And yes, I dragged my camera along so you can see exactly what I mean. If you haven’t watched yet, here’s the video: Design Inspiration at Flower Child.
So, what did I find this time? Buckle up, because we’re about to mix kale salad with rustic charm.
Greens & Natural Tones: Restaurants like this thrive on freshness, and not just on the plate. Bringing in natural tones and greenery makes everything feel alive and balanced. Imagine your home with just a few extra pops of leafy green — it’s like an instant mood booster.
Layered Lighting & Textures: One overhead light is never enough, friends. Flower Child nails that cozy-yet-sophisticated vibe by layering warm lights, mixing textures, and creating depth. In your home, think lamps, sconces, candles… all playing together like the dream team they are.
Plants, Plants, Plants (even fiddle leaf figs!): Plants aren’t just décor, they’re therapy. Even the dramatic fiddle leaf fig (you know, the one that dies if you look at it sideways) can transform the entire mood of a room.
Styling Tricks That Matter: Painted tile walls? Rustic book bundles? Art that doesn’t just sit there but says something? Yes, yes, and yes. It’s these small touches that create personality. Your home should feel like you live there, not like it was pulled from a cookie-cutter catalog.
Open Kitchens = Open Hearts: My personal favorite. Restaurants with open kitchens invite you in, making you feel part of the action. At home, an open kitchen becomes the heartbeat of family and friends gathering. Food and design? Always better shared.
Here’s the big takeaway: design isn’t just about paint colors and furniture. It’s about the atmosphere you create, the way a space makes you feel, and the little moments that happen inside it. That’s why I love exploring restaurants, hotels, and public spaces — they’re like free masterclasses in creating spaces people never want to leave.
So, roomies, if you’re stuck on a design dilemma — maybe you can’t decide on the right shade of white (yes, there are fifty), or you’re wrestling with the eternal rug-size debate, or maybe your layout just feels… off — I’d love to help. Book a consultation with me at roomsbyroma.com and let’s create a space that feels like home, but elevated, personal, and totally you.
Until next time, keep your hearts open, your homes full of life, and when in doubt… add plants.
