If you ask Trinity Lightfoot what brings her the most joy, she’ll tell you it’s anything that has to do with interior design. It’s no wonder she created the winning rendering in our latest design challenge with Homebody. Her living room design was inspired by her and her husband’s personal styles — a blend of boho and mid-century modern.

We’re excited to introduce you to Trinity and share more about her background!

Hi, Trinity! We'd love to hear about your story and what led you into the design world.

I have always had a love for interior design. From watching HGTV at home to painting rooms in my house, if something involves interior design, I am about it. I’m a family and consumer science (FACS) teacher by day and a Kansas City realtor by night. One of the things that attracted me to become a FACS teacher was the idea of being able to teach interior design to my students. I have always wanted to become a real estate agent, and after I got married in July 2021, I decided to make the jump into real estate. I’m pursuing interior design on top of my other endeavors because it has always been a dream of mine, and having knowledge in interior design has been a tremendous help in real estate. I hope to one day have an interior design business alongside real estate and to help my clients maximize their homes' full potential.

If you had to choose, which 3 emojis would you pick to describe you?

Talk to us about your winning room mockup for this design challenge. What was the vision for this design?

For this design, I wanted to go moody while incorporating boho and midcentury modern elements. Also, it just so happens that while designing this room, my actual home was under reno, so that inspired some of my choices. I wanted this room to include the Homebody couch, all while incorporating designs that fit my husband and my interior style. My favorite interior design style is boho, and my husband's favorite style is midcentury modern! I also love rooms that mix muted colors with neutrals, which was another big part of what I did with this room.

Where do you find your inspiration?

My inspiration usually comes from an object, interior style, or color. I like the main focus to be one thing.

Tell us about a designer or artist you love. What about them and their work are you drawn to?

I LOVE Shea McGee from Studio McGee! She does a wonderful job of working with different colors, styles, and making overall timeless designs, while still being trendy. Out of all the designers out there, my style matches up with hers pretty well.

What do you do on your time off to recharge creatively?

My favorite way to spend my free time is to design. I love The Sims, so sometimes I will get on there and design homes for hours. I also love being able to explore Kansas City. Our city is starting to boom more and more, and I don't want to miss a thing!!

What's the best thing you've consumed recently?

An oat milk latte. I love iced coffee, and I love iced lattes. However, I had no idea how much better oat milk tastes in lattes.

I love these boots! They’re both affordable and so comfy.

These leather dresser knobs would add a nice soft touch to any cabinets.

This purse is just *chef's kiss* I mean, come on!

One thing about me is that if a water bottle is trending, I am going to get it! This is by far my favorite one.

Sherpa Blanket by Pendleton, $24.97

I should've posted this as first on my list: the Sherpa Pendleton blanket! I own two, and it is a struggle not to buy more. I love it because it’s lightweight but so warm.

JavaSok by Sok-It, $15.99

I love going out for iced coffee, but I hate when my iced coffee starts to get watered down. This has been a great item to have in my purse when I’m on the go.
