The Tommy Edit: A Curated Guide to our Founder & Creative Director’s Favorite Picks Right Now
Every season, Lola Founder & Creative Director Tommy Higham edits his world down to the essentials, and this season, he's letting us in. From decor picks to styling approaches, here's how Tommy is refreshing his homes. From Utah to New York City.
But First, Blankets
Blankets play an integral role in the way our space shows up for us, from their color to their texture to their touch. If you're someone who isn't sure where to start when it comes to revitalizing your space, chances are your blankets are a solid place to start. Consider them the base. Rich, dark textures ground while light, airy textures brighten. Begin with a neutral then play with color. When refreshing my space, I like to switch out my neutrals to keep things feeling fresh and revitalized. At my place in Utah, the space is minimal by design; lots of windows, lots of light. Antique Ivory feels right there. It adds just enough warmth without disrupting the quiet of it. Seasonally swapping your neutrals is an easy, risk-free way to switch up the energy of your space.
Just Add Color
To bring energy and life into your home, I like to play with color in intentional ways — layering it in without letting it take over. Pillows are a simple way to do this through smaller pops of texture and color. Lately, I've been styling our pillows in the Greenhouse color to genuinely bring the feeling of the outside in.
In my apartment in the West Village, I've also been reaching for our Rainy Night print. It brings a cool yet versatile energy into the space. New York has its own energy: layered, dynamic, always something happening, and this print matches that. The kind of piece that looks intentional whether you're layering it on a couch or draping it across a bed, it brings a cool, moody tone into a space without ever overpowering it.
Don't Forget Your Pets
Our pets deserve the same level of comfort we curate for ourselves. Just as I refresh my space each season, I make a point to do the same for them. The Lola Pet Pad from our Pet Collection brings that same life-changing softness to your pet's everyday routine — a simple upgrade that makes a real difference. My cat Matilda cannot get enough of hers. She lives on it. The neutral colors help in keeping the space feeling grounded and clean.
Intentionality is everything. Choosing what stays, what goes, and what gets refreshed. Whether it's swapping in a new neutral, adding a pop of color through a pillow, or upgrading your pet's everyday; the smallest shifts can completely transform the energy of a space. That's the edit.
