BellaLu Home & Design (9595 E. County Line Rd., Englewood), an interior design showroom and studio, announced today that Erin Constantine and Laura Cromer have joined its team of designers.

“Erin and Laura are valuable additions to our talented team and are a perfect fit for us, as we employ some of the top interior designers in the region,” said Owner Jodi Zippo.

Cromer, a graduate of the University of Colorado, spent the last four years with Pottery Barn, honing her design skills in both a customer service and management capacity.

“I joined BellaLu because of the store’s appreciation for great design. There is so much creative freedom and areas to grow,” said Cromer. “I consider it an opportunity of a lifetime to work at such a fantastic design showroom.”

Constantine, recently with West Elm, holds an Interior Design degree from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising-San Francisco, as well as a BA from the University of Wisconsin. She has been in the industry for two years.

“It feels like I’ve been in design my entire life. I was one of those kids that was always rearranging my room, painting the walls, and giving my parents decorating advice,” stated Constantine. “It is the design process that makes BellaLu so unique and different from our competitors; we listen and build a relationship to give clients a space they really love.”
