Lh Design Questionnaire with Candice Quinn of London Pierce
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
To me, perfect happiness is a mindset rooted in gratitude and appreciation for life’s everyday moments. I believe happiness is a choice. I wake up each day feeling blessed and embrace even the smallest things with gratitude. My natural positivity and choice to focus on the good in life help me cultivate a sense of perfect happiness.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement is undoubtedly my two sons, London and Pierce, who inspired the name of my brand. Professionally, I’m proud of how I’ve developed my design firm over the past nine years into a thriving business that positively impacts others, culminating in the launch of London Pierce Home, our flagship showroom.

What profession does your alter ego have?
My alter ego would definitely be a therapist. I have always had a passion for helping others and often find myself naturally working through challenges with people helping support and guide them.
The project you will never forget.
The project I’ll never forget is the launch of London Pierce Home, our 10,000-square-foot flagship showroom in Scottsdale, Arizona. We had a tight timeline to build out the space, and the process was a whirlwind of design, shopping, and travel. Despite the chaos, it was incredibly fun and rewarding.
Your favorite business tool or resource.
I often get teased for carrying multiple MacBooks and always having a MacBook and iPad in my bag. However, I love how they keep me connected and provide access to everything I need. They are essential to my workflow and greatly enhance my productivity.
The most timeless design.
To me, timeless design is defined by clean lines and the thoughtful layering of textures. I believe that timeless design combines elements that are both old and new, which results in a style that endures.

The biggest design faux pas.
Being too trendy.
Your design motto.
Design is beauty, harmony, and soul. Design is an exploration of our individual stories. Design has the power to change our thoughts, feelings, and moods. Design matters.

Our publisher, KOKET, makes statement décor. If you were to design a room around one of their pieces, which would it be, and why?
I love the Rita Sahara Noir marble coffee table. This is such a sexy piece and is sure to elevate any space with its sophisticated allure.
Love Happens when…
You appreciate the ups and downs, celebrate achievements and navigate through failures, learn to open your heart, love yourself, and recognize true beauty in both yourself and others.
