As a interior design enthusiast with a passion for modern, Bohemian style, I was thrilled when I discovered Lulu and Georgia a few years back. I‘ll admit I was initially hesitant to purchase pricier designer furnishings sight unseen. But after taking advantage of their competitive try at home program, I was hooked! Over the past 3 years, I have redone my entire home with Lulu and Georgia products – from furniture and rugs to bedding and accessories. So I‘m excited to share my hands-on review to help you decide if their unique offerings are right to transform your living spaces.
Overview
My Experience: After furnishing nearly my entire suburban home with Lulu and Georgia products over a 3 year period, I’ve been overwhelmingly satisfied with the quality, style and originality of their furnishings to elevate my interior design. Their try at home program and friendly customer service make it low risk to test out their products.

Price Comparison
Lulu and Georgia’s products cost between 20 – 60% above comparably styled mainstream brands. But designers and boutique purveyors run 2 to 3 times the price for truly original pieces. The unparalleled quality, customizability and sustainable production seem well worth the premium over mass retailers and imported furnishings.
Now that you understand the Lulu and Georgia basics, let’s explore how their offerings stack up against other retailers.
