For the past 15 years Lisa Newman Paratore has been a leading interior designer featured in Better Homes and Gardens, the Boston Globe Magazine and even This Old House. She “is best known for eclectic and inviting designs, reflecting her fashion and art background. Upon completion of each project, Lisa believes the space should be a reflection of her client’s personal style, as well as a comfortable and functional space that is a pleasure for the homeowner.”

Lisa has now opened Homestyle. With Homestyle the “homeowner” is the design savvy residents of Providence, RI – home of the Rhode Island School of Design.

Lisa says, “Homestyle combines fine art, home furnishings and gifts for a uniquely enjoyable shopping experience.  The overall aesthetic is modern and artful without being stark.  Vintage and organic pieces are sprinkled among the clean lines of classic contemporary and whimsical items.  Art is an integral part of the environment.  A black and white photograph may hang in the same vignette as an antique impressionist painting, a vintage Asian trunk and a mid-century modern sofa, creating space that is both personal and interesting… not a traditional “furniture store” display.You will always find a tremendous selection of extraordinary gifts in many categories.”

Ink Dish’s tattoo inspired porcelain dinnerware adds another category to the already wonderful selection at Homestyle.
