Lilu Interiors and The Emily Program

When The Emily Program acquired the existing, institutional St. Paul building, it presented a designer’s challenge with its brick walls and sharp angles. Working on a tight budget required the design team to use basic materials and furnishings creatively to form a nurturing, supportive environment for Emily Program clients, residents, and staff. LiLu Interior’s design allows the building to support the diverse daily activities of The Emily Program – everything from sleeping and studying to participating in therapy sessions and preparing food. Designers employed a colorful concept that used bright, bold color blocks and large-scale patterns to warm and coordinate the more institutional elements of the existing structure.

The Emily Program’s Adolescent and Family Services facility is truly a gem and helps bring families together throughout their eating disorder treatment and recovery.

Congratulations and thank you to LiLu Interiors!
