DID YOU KNOW?
INTERIOR DESIGN PROFESSION FOUNDED BY LESBIAN ELSIE de WOLFE
The interior design profession is a relatively new career profession that is closely associated with the LGBTQ community. This is not surprising given that the founder of the profession is generally recognized as New York lesbian socialite Elsie de Wolfe in the 1920s.
The profession has grown rapidly since that time and now envelopes the developed world's lifestyle. Many of the contemporary LGBTQ interior designers are well known to the public through their television shows, books, and magazines. Others have extensive stores and an online presence for their uniquely designed home furnishings and design services.
We have identified a large number of global LGBTQ interior designers. These individuals hail from Ireland, France, Great Britain, Norway, Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Australia, and Brazil. To see the complete list, CLICK HERE
