“Pretty is assumed. Let’s create an experience you can feel.”

Lori Paranjape

Many stars have been born in Nashville, Tennessee. On an old hardwood stage, the audience might recognize an artist for having “it.” For Nashville design star Lori Paranjape, the “it” is more experiential than magical. On designing her personal residence, Lori said, “It’s a culmination of every lesson I’ve learned before this, and it will have an impact on every project going forward.”

One staple from Lori’s playbook: take the time to experience your design choices in person. Case in point, the One faucet by KALLISTA that Lori first experienced at her local KOHLER® Store. The textured, intuitive, single lever of the faucet was perfect. She selected the One faucet line in a variety of finishes for use throughout her kitchen and bathrooms.

Lori created a clean and coordinated look with Matte Black finish throughout this guest bathroom featuring our Purist bathroom faucet with cross handles.

The sleek, modern KOHLER Eir smart toilet with Sunrise Gold accent band pairs perfectly with Lori’s one-of-a-kind illuminated vanilla onyx vanity.

A Ceric® freestanding bathroom in her primary bathroom makes wellness and relaxation a priority in Lori’s routine.

“I was looking for hand-feel, tactile quality. It’s a piece you might interact with 30 times a day for the next decade. It matters.”

According to Lori, one of the most remarkable spaces in her new home is the showstopping powder room, featuring a one-of-a-kind illuminated vanilla onyx vanity and wall-mount faucet in Unlacquered Brass. But that isn’t the only star in the space. Lori says that the sleek, modern smart toilet with bidet functionality is a discussion point for guests. “It’s luxurious functionally and aesthetically.” The KOHLER Eir® smart toilet with Sunrise Gold accent band complements the vanity and stays tidy without any visible plumbing.

Within your entire home, there are moments to be made. Inspired by Lori’s depth of experience and attention to detail, you too can balance thoughtfully placed magic and practical points of differentiation. Lori concludes, “Every touchpoint is an opportunity to create beauty you can feel.”

Lori mixes metals to create standout design moments, like framing the shower with brass details while selecting Matte Black for the KOHLER Purist Showerhead, controls, and accessories.
