Welp! I jumped into the deep end and joined this cycle of the One Room Challenge® at the very last minute.😲

Welcome to "Lakay."
Lakay is Haitian Creole word for home.

After two years of renovating my Queen Anne Victorian in Boston, it's finally starting to feel like the home this labor of love has been building toward.
For the Fall 2026 One Room Challenge®, I'm designing my open living and dining room, and my bedroom (allegedly!). So if you see me going bald by the end of the year, you already know why. 😅

These rooms will hold all of me. My Haitian roots. The 42 countries I've traveled to. The singer in me, the dancer in me, the competitive game night host. And of course, the year in India that shaped my eye and changed my life!

Deep peach, teal and oxblood velvets. Animal prints. Burnished brass. A gallery of art collected from my travels. Wild and bold, but always elevated.
For nearly seven years I've designed homes that tell my clients' stories. This time, it's mine.

Looking at the mood board, you're probably thinking, this is a lot. Well, it is. But it's ALL OF ME, at my core. And if you're wondering how she's going to pull all of this together, stick around. You'll soon find out.

Lakay: Mask Off. Coming home to myself.

Stay tune for the rest of the story and the before.

Which color are you most excited to see come to life?

I've been in a bit of a rut lately. With everything going on in the world (and it keeps getting worse), I feel like I've lost a bit of my spark. I've been unmotivated and uninspired, even in my design work. It feels like we keep losing our humanity. Lately, I've just wanted to run away to a remote island and just LIVE!

Then I came across this video I took of my client the other day. Granted, this wasn't her original reaction since she's been living there a while, but it reminded me of why I do this work and brought some of my joy back.

Dear clients: thank you for trusting us with your most prized and intimate possession, your home. 🤍

Toss, Toss! 😝

.... AND WE DELIVERTT!!! 🌅

When your dining room doubles as the best seat in the city, you take it up a notch from a view to an experience. Every detail in this space was intentional, from the warm textures, to the barely-there light fixture, to the table setting, all curated to let that view be the star. ✨️

This is what it means to design a home that works with your life, not against it.

How is your sunset looking right now?

How to make your builder-grade penthouse bathroom feel like a boutique hotel. Hint: no full renovation required. Swipe to last slide to see all the changes.

Most people think transformation means tearing everything out. It doesn't. We didn't touch the tile, the plumbing, or the layout.

Here's exactly what we changed:

→ Paint or plaster your walls. We used a limewash paint in a deep, moody slate. Color alone changes everything.
→ Lean into your architectural details. That curved column? It was already there and was one of the most hated feature of the penthouse. Not anymore!
→ Swap your vanity cabinet. Fluted doors and custom hardware instantly elevate a basic unit.
→ Upgrade your mirror. An arched mirror does what a builder rectangle never can.
→ Add intentional lighting. A brass and matte black sconce over the mirror creates warmth and drama.
→ Invest in your countertop. Dark veined and natural quartzite stone changed the entire mood of this space. Am I the drama!?
→ Style with purpose. A boucle ottoman, sculptural botanicals, and matte black fixtures are the finishing details that make it feel curated, not decorated.

Your builder gives you beige. We give you a space worthy of you.

This is what we do at Vannie Paradis | Boston Interior Designer we don't just decorate spaces, we reveal who you are inside them. Our clients travel abd stay in some of the world's most exquisite hotels. It's about time they experience the same at home

I believe it's time for a reintroduction. ✨

Come on in! I'm Vannie, and I design homes that feel like you. Not a trend. Not a showroom. You. Culturally-rooted, deeply personal, and unapologetically beautiful.

Seven years in business. Fourteen years before that in corporate finance. I wore the mask. I code-switched. And when I finally designed a home that was truly mine... it changed everything.

That's what we do here. Culturally-rooted, personalized interiors for people who are ready to stop settling and finally come home to themselves. 🤎

I'm a proud Haitian woman, built in Boston, inspired by 40+ countries of beauty, culture, and texture. I love Latin dancing, sensational food, and a good argument. I once took a college course called "The Art of the Argument." My family was convinced I'd become a lawyer. 🤭

If that's you, I'd love to create together.
If you're new to my background, tell me one thing about yourself.

If you're an OG. Say hello!

Are your outdoor spaces ready for summer? Our clients are! ☀️

​There’s a French expression, "Qui veut juin prépare octobre," which essentially means if you want a great harvest in June, you have to prepare in October. Or in today's social media language "summer bodies are built in the winter." (We also heard this a lot growing up whenever our final report cards were looking a little questionable... 😅)

​Anyway, these clients understood the assignment. They planned ahead, and now they have a brand-new deck, custom stairs, and a fully overhauled backyard aling with a new bike shed.
All that’s left is a little zhuzhing, and they’ll be spending their weekends grilling and sipping.

​Time is ticking for this summer, but we can still consult with you to make some magic happen just in the nick of time. Link in bio to get started!

We always talk about the different roles we play as designers, but we often forget one of the most important one: The Educator.

​Getting clients to the finish line of a design they love abd deserve, requires guiding them through the why behind our choices. For example, our projects typically involve heavy home renovation. But on the project, the brief was simply furnishing. ​However, good design doesn't compromise. We couldn't let an ill-floating TV disrupt the harmony of the room. We educated our client on the impact of a tailored solution, and now the TV looks beautifully integrated and built-in.

​✨ Pro Tip: Paint your media niche black. It creates an illusion of depth and hides all the ugly wires and brackets behind the screen.

Let us know what you think of this small but mighty transformation.

They did not know they were designing this for me. But they were. 😍

This vignette at the showroom stopped me cold at . This is exactly why I show up here every year; to find the pieces that speak before you even ask them a question.

Already thinking about which client this belongs in. You know who you are.
