CHRISTOPHER LOWELL ENTERPRISES
Corporate Overview
As one of America's most established designers and trusted lifestyle authorities, Christopher Lowell brings his hip, engaging "you can do it" decorating mantra to a whole new generation of "hyper-taskers" in the FLN (Fine Living Network) interior design series Work That Room with Christopher Lowell.
Dubbed the "Doctor of Design" by U.S. News & World Report, Christopher believes that interior design is a form of empowerment therapy: "Our mental interior always matches our physical interior for good and bad. My job is to help people get the two interiors to sync up accurately," he says.
He spreads this message through his many best-selling books-including his newest, One of a Kind Decorating Projects, and his ever popular Seven Layers of Design - as well as his branded consumer products retailing in some 3,000 stores nationwide. He also hosts a weekly syndicated radio show, pens a weekly syndicated newspaper column (Q&A), Ask Christopher, with Publications Services of America, and heads Christopher Lowell Enterprises with partners that include many of America's most respected retailers and manufacturers - DirectBuy, JoAnn Craft & Fabric Stores, Office Depot and 3-Day Blinds.
Christopher examines a popular design trend through a person, couple or family facing a design dilemma by being psychologist, marriage counselor, efficiency expert and motivator. While he works the design magic that has garnered him legions of fans, he also addresses today's growing social trends and how they translate into new home design. Trends such as:

- The Last Resort: How taking a once-a-year family vacation is becoming impossible and expensive, and how the "resort effect" is now being plugged into people's own backyards.
- Global Merge: With an increasing number of interracial marriages, how to blend two distinct cultures into one American lifestyle.
- The Transcendental Home: How the Zen iconography from leading public spaces is igniting a nationwide home décor craze. What do these symbols mean to a new culture?
