Howard Lorton Furniture & Design opened the doors to its downtown Denver showroom in 1927 and has since become one of Colorado’s leaders in luxury home and patio furnishings, as well as interior design.

For the showhouse, bedroom two was designed by Howard Lorton designer Rob Osgard, highlighting the brand’s ability to blend refined style with everyday livability. While the showroom offers furniture available off the floor, Howard Lorton specializes in special orders, custom-designed furniture, and interior design services to ensure each piece reflects a client’s personal style and lifestyle goals.

Fine furniture styles have evolved dramatically over the years, and the company’s buying team works diligently to bring the best of the industry to Denver. Its approach to helping clients find the right pieces, however, has remained the same. Whether your style is traditional or modern, rustic or formal, you’ll find a vast selection of furniture and accessories from more than 200 of the world’s leading suppliers. Howard Lorton offers an expansive range of options in style, design, color, texture, and size—all at competitive prices with free delivery.

How would you describe your design style and point of view? 

I can work in almost any style, but I do love doing very creative, updated traditional, and fun and warm contemporary looks very much. I like looking at the space and letting it talk to me about what will work best. The angles on the ceiling called to me to color-drench the space and add even more dimensions to it. Go with what the room gives you, as opposed to fighting it

What drew you to this space, and what excited you most about designing it?

It is a departure for me to do a little girl’s room, since we generally do very adult projects. The challenge of doing something a little more fun, a little more clever, that’s just a bit over the top, is always a great challenge.

How did you balance beauty with real-life functionality?

In a space like this, it’s not hard. There’s only so much room in a small girl’s bedroom, so having a place to sit, a place to sleep, and adding beautiful and interesting things to the space so you have both functionality and real character of the space is super important, mostly because of the limited amount of space there is.
