The Latest at LiLi

Earlier this year, our Head of Brand Lyssia Katan launched Room to Think, a podcast exploring how the spaces we live and work in shape how we think, feel, and function. Twenty-four episodes later, it's become a genuinely compelling listen for anyone who cares about their home, not just how it looks, but what it's actually doing to them. If you haven't tuned in yet, here are the episodes that hit closest to home for us.   Adam Trest - Foxes, Folk Art, and the Feel of Home Adam is an artist and designer whose work lives at the intersection of storytelling, pattern, and emotion — and someone we've had the privilege of collaborating with twice here at LiLi Tile, on the Adam Trest x LiLi Tile Collection and the Azul Collection. In this first episode of the podcast, he and Lyssia talk about why great design carries a story, and what it means to fill your home with things that actually mean something to you. If you've ever fallen for a pattern without being able to explain why, this one's for you. Harley Gusman - Confidence, Criticism, and the Fear of DIY Harley has been one of our favorite collaborators, she's used LiLi Zellige tiles across multiple projects and has a real eye for how to make handmade materials work in real homes. This episode digs into the psychology behind why people talk themselves out of starting a renovation, and how to get past it. Equal parts practical and motivating.   Amber Dunford - How Childhood Designs Your Home Amber is a mental health therapist and design psychology educator, and her episode is one of the most thought-provoking of the season. She unpacks why the home you grew up in still shapes the spaces you're drawn to today, and why your gut reactions to certain colors, textures, and layouts aren't random. Essential listening for anyone about to make a big design decision.   Dr. Kati Peditto - Designing for Neurodivergent Minds Dr. Peditto researches the intersection of human behavior, neuroscience, and the built environment, and her episode on neuroinclusive design was one of the most-shared of the season. The premise is straightforward but often overlooked: when you design a space that works for the full range of how human brains function, you end up with a better space for everyone. If you've ever felt like a room was working against you without being able to explain why, this episode is worth your time.   Dr. Esther Sternberg - The Spaces That Heal Us If you want the science behind why certain rooms feel restorative and others quietly drain you, this is the one. Dr. Sternberg is one of the world's leading researchers on healing environments, and she breaks down how light, texture, pattern, and natural materials send direct signals to the brain and immune system. It reframes every material choice you'll ever make. Kimberly Gallagher - Your Home Has A Personality One of the most listened-to episodes of the season, and it's easy to see why. Kimberly is the founder of The Feng Shui Flow and author of The Calm and Happy Home, and her conversation with Lyssia centers on an idea that's simple but surprisingly hard to act on: your home isn't just where you live, it's something you have a relationship with. If your space has ever felt off in a way you couldn't articulate, this episode will give you the language for it. At LiLi Tile, we've always believed that the materials you choose for your home are more than a finish, they're a reflection of how you want to feel in the space you live in. Room to Think is an extension of that belief, a place to explore the deeper conversation around what makes a home truly work. Whether you're mid-renovation, starting from scratch, or just trying to understand why one room always feels better than another, there's something in it for you. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Find Room to Think on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you listen.
