5th Element Interiors

Jules, LV local and new mama, started 5th Element Interiors with a goal of spreading her love of beautifully decorated, functional, and organized spaces. She believes our surroundings affect our mood and how we interact with the world and others. In her opinion, Interior styling should be available to all, not just the elite, which is reflected in her pricing. Last year, Jules added wallpaper installation to her many services and hands down is the best in Las Vegas! She’s worked wonders in my home!
