Interior designer Laura Kirar likes to describe her interiors as curated rather than designed. Her work is always tailored to her clients, incorporating their tastes and functional needs with her own vision to create spaces that are thoroughly modern yet utterly timeless. In each of her projects, attention to detail is paramount and the use of luxurious materials and elegant furnishings reflect her refined eye which has been cultivated through her love of collecting, her passion for art and her extensive travels. This holiday season, Kirar’s travel plans include heading home to Chicago to visit family and then to Mexico with friends. Here, she shares her carefully curated list of stylish gifts that she plans to give and hopes to receive for the holidays…

My favorite gifts to give others are…

“I love giving something useful and luxurious like a personalized scent from Le Labo or a monogrammed passport cover from Smythson of Bond Street.”

This year I’m hoping to receive…

“A Ruby Helmet by Karl Lagerfeld for my Vespa…because it’s fabulous!”

“A truly warm and chic coat that’s not “puffy” nor fur. It’s a challenge to find something that meets that criteria. I have a closet of coats that are all just a bit too light for NY winter weather!”

“Custom 3 strap riding boots from Vogel. They are gorgeous and there is nothing like a custom leather last for comfort.”
