Living with Lolo Named to the 2026 Inc. 5000: America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies

The 2026 luxury design trends showing up in Scottsdale homes come down to a few clear moves: warm, moody tones like cocoa and burnished amber replacing years of cool gray, natural stone and sculptural lighting used as real focal points, soft curved forms that take the edge off hard desert architecture, and defined zones quietly replacing the wide-open plan. If you are renovating this year, those are the four shifts worth building in. Not every trend deserves your money, and part of my job is telling clients which ones will still look right in 2036. Here is where I land on 2026, and how these ideas actually play in the Arizona desert.

I am Lauren Lerner, founder of Living with Lolo. We design and build luxury homes across Scottsdale as a licensed Arizona general contractor, ROC #347577, so I look at trends through two lenses at once: does it look beautiful, and can we build it to last in a climate that punishes shortcuts. That combination changes which trends I recommend and which I gently talk people out of.

What the research shows about 2026 design

The trend reports and the spending data point the same direction this year.

• Homes and Gardens named “found luxury,” edible brown tones, statement stone, curved forms, and sculptural lighting among its defining 2026 trends, a clear turn away from cool, beige perfectionism toward warmth and personality.
• The 2026 U.S. Houzz and Home Study found that about 35 percent of renovating homeowners consciously chose higher-end materials, which is exactly the impulse behind statement stone and natural finishes.
• The same Houzz study reported half of homeowners planned to renovate in 2026, so these are not magazine fantasies. People are spending on them.
• Houzz trend research also points to “soft kitchens,” rustic and warm materials, antique brass, and wood cabinetry as a leading 2026 kitchen direction, which fits the broader move toward warmth.

Warm, moody color is finally replacing gray

The biggest shift is the easiest to see. After a long run of cool grays and safe greige, 2026 belongs to deep, warm color. Homes and Gardens calls it edible brown tones: cocoa, caramel, deep ochre, chocolate, rust, and burnished amber. In a Scottsdale home, these colors are not a risk. They are a homecoming. Our light is warm and golden most of the year, and these tones read richer here than they ever would under gray Northeastern skies.

My recommendation is to go deep in the rooms where you want intimacy, like a study, a powder room, or a primary bath, and let the main living spaces carry the warmth more quietly. A whole house painted chocolate is a trend. A study drenched in it is a design decision you will still love in a decade.

Natural stone as the focal point, not the backdrop

Statement stone is the trend I am most excited to build in 2026. Dramatically veined marble and colorful stones, used on a kitchen island, a fireplace surround, or a full primary bath wall, do more for a luxury room than almost any other single element. It is also where the design-build model matters, because a bookmatched slab wall is a fabrication and installation problem as much as a design choice. We plan the slab layout, the seams, and the structural support together, which is the kind of detail that separates a finished install from a beautiful idea that never quite worked out.

Pair the stone with sculptural lighting, another strong 2026 direction, and you have a focal point that photographs well and lives even better. Alabaster and cast-glass fixtures that read as art are worth the splurge in a room where you want one true statement. You can see how we handle these moments in our portfolio. For a deeper look at the materials behind these trends, and which ones actually hold up in Arizona’s climate, see our desert-ready building materials guide.

Curves are softening hard desert architecture

Scottsdale’s contemporary homes lean on straight lines, sharp corners, and a lot of stucco geometry. That is why the 2026 move toward curves and waves lands so well here. A curved sofa, an arched doorway, a rounded island, or softened millwork edges take the hard edge off desert-modern architecture without fighting it. The effect is warmer and more human, and it keeps a minimalist room from feeling like a showroom.

A word of caution from experience. Curves are expensive to build well. Custom radius cabinetry and arched openings cost meaningfully more than their straight-line versions, so I steer clients toward one or two deliberate curved moments rather than curving everything. Done sparingly, it looks intentional. Done everywhere, it looks like a budget that got away from someone.

Defined zones are replacing the fully open plan

The open-concept floor plan is not dead, but 2026 is refining it. Designers are calling the update “broken plan,” which means reintroducing defined zones, conversation corners, and partial partitions without going back to a house full of closed doors. Homeowners spent the last decade knocking down every wall and then discovered the house had no acoustic privacy and nowhere quiet to take a call.

We have been building this for a while, and it is one of the more practical trends on this list. If you want the full argument, our post on hybrid layouts replacing open concept in Scottsdale covers how we zone a home so each space has a clear job. The trend is really just good space planning catching up to how families actually live.

The desert-specific trends worth your money

A few 2026 ideas earn their keep specifically because of where we live. Warm natural materials like limewash, clay plaster, and wood paneling, used in “at-home retreat” spaces, feel right in the desert and hold up better than trendier finishes. Indoor-outdoor living keeps growing, and it dovetails with the shift we wrote about in front yard living in Scottsdale. And soft, warm kitchens with wood cabinetry and antique brass suit our light beautifully, which is worth weighing before your next Scottsdale kitchen remodel.

My honest take: chase the trends that match the climate and the architecture, and skip the ones that only look right in a coastal magazine. Warmth, stone, curves, and zoning all fit Scottsdale. Some of this year’s cooler, fussier looks do not, and I will tell you so before you spend on them. If you have worked with a luxury interior designer Scottsdale homeowners trust, you already expect that kind of straight answer.

How we build 2026 trends to last

The difference between a trend that dates your home and one that ages into it is usually execution, not the idea. That is where holding the construction license changes things. Living with Lolo designs and builds under one contract, ROC #347577, so when a client wants a bookmatched stone wall or a curved island, the same firm that drew it is responsible for building it correctly. You can see how we run that process from concept to install on our design and build process page, and start a conversation through our contact page.

Frequently asked questions

A whole-home renovation in Scottsdale costs about $250,000 to $1.5 million or more, which works out to roughly $150 to $400 per square foot once you are into high-end finishes and structural work. Three things move that number more than anything else: how much of the layout you change, whether the project touches structure and mechanical systems, and the level of finish you choose. Furniture and paint sit at the bottom of the range. Opening walls, relocating plumbing, and rebuilding kitchens and baths push you toward the top. This guide breaks down what each tier actually buys in Scottsdale, and where the money really goes.

I am Lauren Lerner, founder of Living with Lolo. We are a luxury interior design studio and a licensed Arizona general contractor, ROC #347577, and we have priced and built enough whole-home projects across Scottsdale to tell you where budgets hold and where they blow up. If you want a broader view across furnishing-only, remodel, and full design-build engagements, our full-service interior designer cost guide covers those tiers in detail. This post zooms in on the whole-home renovation specifically. If your project is ground-up new construction rather than a renovation of an existing home, our custom home cost guide covers that math specifically.

What the research shows about whole-home renovation cost

The national data lines up with what we see on Scottsdale job sites.

• Luxury whole-home renovations commonly run between roughly $100 and $208 or more per square foot before premium finishes, per Angi’s 2026 luxury renovation cost data. In a market like Scottsdale, that per-foot figure is a floor, not a ceiling.
• Half of U.S. homeowners planned a renovation in 2026, and the 90th percentile of renovation budgets hit $150,000 in 2025, up 7 percent year over year, according to the 2026 U.S. Houzz and Home Study.
• About 35 percent of renovating homeowners consciously chose higher-end materials and 31 percent expanded scope mid-project, per that same Houzz study. Scope creep is the single most common reason a whole-home budget grows.
• Scottsdale home values continue to justify this level of investment, with luxury submarkets among the strongest in Arizona, per Zillow.

What counts as a whole-home renovation in Scottsdale

A whole-home renovation is not the same as redecorating, and it is not the same as a single-room remodel. It means you are touching most or all of the interior at once: kitchen, primary suite, secondary baths, flooring throughout, and usually the layout itself. In older Scottsdale communities, that almost always includes opening up a compartmentalized floor plan built in the 1980s or 1990s.

The reason this matters for your budget is simple. Once you cross from cosmetic work into moving walls, relocating plumbing, or upgrading electrical panels, you are in permitted construction territory. That is a different cost structure than swapping countertops. It is also the point where hiring a designer and a separate contractor starts to cost you real money in change orders and coordination gaps.

Whole-home renovation cost by scope

Here is how the ranges break down for a Scottsdale project. These are the tiers we quote against, not hypotheticals.

Most of our Scottsdale whole-home clients land in the standard-to-gut range, between $250,000 and $1 million. The jump to the top tier usually comes from three things: statement stone, custom cabinetry throughout, and a layout that requires moving load-bearing walls. Any one of those can add six figures on its own.

Why Scottsdale costs more than the national average

Scottsdale is not a national-average market, and pretending otherwise is how people end up underfunded halfway through. Labor here is in high demand, permit timelines with the City of Scottsdale can stretch a schedule, and the finish expectations in neighborhoods like Silverleaf and DC Ranch run well above what you would spec in most of the country. Desert construction also carries its own costs, from HVAC sized for 115-degree summers to materials that hold up to the sun and heat. Our guide to the materials that actually hold up here covers exactly which finishes are worth the premium and which ones fail early in this climate.

There is a good side to this. Scottsdale property values support the investment better than almost anywhere in Arizona, so a well-executed whole-home renovation is not just lifestyle spending. On the right home in the right community, it holds value. That is a judgment call worth making with real numbers in front of you, which is exactly what we put on the table before a contract is signed.

Where the money actually goes

People assume the kitchen is the biggest line item, and it often is, but the hidden costs are what surprise homeowners. Structural work and permits. Mechanical upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and HVAC that the finished home will never show off. Professional labor typically runs 40 to 50 percent of a renovation budget. And the finish level, which is the one lever fully in your control, swings the total more than square footage does.

This is where our model earns its keep. Because Living with Lolo holds ROC #347577 and manages design and construction under one contract, we price the invisible work honestly at the start instead of discovering it mid-project. You can see how we sequence a job on our design and build process page, and browse completed work in our portfolio. If you have already worked with a luxury interior designer Scottsdale homeowners trust, you know the estimate is only as good as the person standing behind the build.

How to budget for a whole-home renovation

My honest recommendation: set your all-in number, then hold back 15 to 20 percent of it as a contingency you do not touch unless the house forces you to. Older Scottsdale homes hide surprises behind the drywall, and the projects that stay on budget are the ones that planned for that from day one. Decide your finish level early, because that is the lever that moves the total most. And get a written scope with a real budget range before you sign anything.

The other budget protector is structural, not financial. One contract, one accountable firm. When the same team that designed your renovation is the one legally responsible for building it, the estimate and the reality stay close together. That is the entire argument for design-build, and it is why we built Living with Lolo the way we did.

A real example from a Scottsdale whole-home project

A couple in central Scottsdale bought a 1980s single-story with a closed kitchen, a dark primary bath, and four flooring materials across the main level. We reworked the plan to open the kitchen to the living space, expanded the primary bath into an adjacent room, and ran continuous wide-plank oak throughout. Because we hold the Arizona contractor license, our own team pulled permits and managed every trade. Nine months from signed contract to final styling. Total investment landed at $340,000, and the home appraised well above its pre-renovation value at the next refinance. A kitchen-only version of that project would have run far less, which is why our Scottsdale kitchen remodel cost guide exists as a separate resource.

In 2026 the front yard is becoming a place to live, not just a lawn you walk past on the way inside. If you are planning a renovation in Scottsdale, three decisions do most of the work: choose which part of the front should feel like a room, control the desert sun with shade before you spend a dollar on furniture, and trade thirsty grass for pavers and low-water planting that survive July. Get those right and the front of the house becomes a destination instead of a pass-through. Forbes named this shift the year of the front yard, and Living with Lolo founder Lauren Lerner was quoted throughout that feature on what it looks like in the Southwest. Here is how we approach it, and how to do it well in the Arizona desert.

What the research shows

The move toward front yard living is showing up in the numbers and in the reports designers actually read.

• Forbes reported in July 2026 that 2026 may be the year of the front yard, with homeowners turning front porches and yards into outdoor living rooms.
• The Deckorators 2026 Outdoor Living Report, cited in that Forbes feature, points to layered lounge seating, covered porches, integrated heating, and richer materials as the moves defining front yard rooms this year.
• Thumbtack named 2025 the Year of the Backyard two years running, so a pivot to the front of the house is a genuine change in where homeowners put their money.
• Deckorators executive Ryan Kemp told Forbes that higher interest rates have pushed many homeowners to improve the home they already own instead of moving, which is part of why the underused front yard is getting attention.
• The National Academies has reported that nearly half of Americans felt loneliness before the pandemic, and designers tie the front porch revival to a renewed appetite for neighborhood connection.

What front yard living actually means in Scottsdale

For years the front yard was about curb appeal and little else. That is changing fast. As Lauren Lerner put it to Forbes, especially in the Southwest there is a shift from the front being purely about how the house looks to being a space for the people who actually live there. In her Arizona projects that means seating walls, shade structures, and drought-tolerant landscaping that frames a livable room rather than a lawn. The front becomes an extension of how a family moves through the day: morning coffee outside, a place to talk with neighbors in the evening, a spot to sit before heading indoors.

This is not a small tweak to landscaping. Done right, it is interior design thinking applied to the outdoors, which is exactly how our team at Living with Lolo treats it. If you have worked with a luxury interior designer Scottsdale homeowners trust, you already know the process starts with how you want to live in a space, not with a furniture catalog. The front yard is no different.

Why it works in the desert

Here is the honest truth about outdoor rooms in Arizona: shade is the whole ballgame. A gorgeous front patio that bakes at 108 degrees goes unused, and an unused space is wasted money. So we design for the sun first. A pergola or ramada anchors the zone and makes the space usable across more of the year. Concrete or large-format pavers replace grass and hold up to the heat far better than a lawn that needs constant water and still browns out.

Planting matters just as much. Low-water choices like agave, desert willow, and native grasses add texture and structure without demanding a sprinkler running every morning. This is where design and construction have to talk to each other, which is why our high-end home remodel work in Scottsdale plans the hardscape, shade, and irrigation together instead of bolting them on later.

How we design a front yard room at Living with Lolo

Lauren Lerner gave Forbes the same framework we use on every project: define the space, control the sun, and make it feel intentional. Define the space with a pergola, ramada, or a change in grade so the room has edges. Control the sun with orientation and shade structures sized for the actual exposure. Make it intentional by choosing materials and planting that look considered, not accidental.

The part that sets this work apart is who manages it. Living with Lolo is a licensed general contractor under ROC #347577, so design and construction happen under one contract. That means the shade structure, the pavers, the seating walls, and the planting are engineered as one system by one team. Our general contractor in Scottsdale and design studio sit in the same office, and you can see how that plays out in our design and build process. It is also why we were named Phoenix Magazine’s Best Interior Design Firm three years running in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

The mistake most homeowners make

The most common error, Lauren told Forbes, is treating the front yard like a smaller version of the backyard. The scale is different, the sightlines are different, and privacy has to be designed in rather than assumed. A backyard is private by default. A front yard sits on the street, so enclosure has to be created on purpose, usually with landscaping and grade changes that give a sense of shelter without walling the space off from the neighborhood. It is the same zoning logic we use indoors when we plan hybrid layouts that give each space a clear purpose, just applied to the front of the house.

Is a front yard room right for your home?

It depends on your lot, your orientation, and your HOA. A north-facing entry in Paradise Valley is a different problem than a west-facing lot in North Scottsdale that takes the full afternoon sun. Some homes have the frontage for a genuine outdoor room; others are better served by a smaller, shaded landing that still pulls the family outside. Our interior designers in Paradise Valley walk the site before recommending anything, because the front yard has to work with the architecture, not fight it. If you want a sense of budget for a project of this scope, our Scottsdale cost guides are a useful place to calibrate.

When the pieces come together, the front yard stops being a transition space and starts being a destination. That is the whole point of the trend, and it is why we think front yard living is one of the more interesting shifts in Arizona residential design right now. It is one of several shifts we cover in our 2026 luxury home design trends guide, alongside warmer color and defined zones indoors.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn my front yard into an outdoor living space in Scottsdale?

Start by deciding which part of the front should feel like a room, then design for shade before anything else. A pergola or ramada anchors the zone, large-format pavers replace grass, and low-water planting frames the space. Because our climate is unforgiving, the order matters: shade and hardscape first, furniture last. Living with Lolo plans all of it under one contract so the structure and planting are engineered together.

What plants work for a low-water front yard in the Arizona desert?

Agave, desert willow, and native grasses are reliable choices that add texture and structure without heavy irrigation. The goal is planting that looks intentional and survives a Scottsdale summer, not a lawn that browns out and drinks water all season. We pair drought-tolerant planting with pavers and shade so the whole front reads as one considered space.

Is front yard living a good investment in Scottsdale?

It can be, because a usable front yard adds daily quality of life and can support long-term property value. Deckorators noted in Forbes that homeowners facing higher interest rates are investing in the homes they already own rather than moving, and the front yard is often the most underused space on the lot. A well-designed front room turns wasted square footage into space you actually use.

How do I get shade in a front yard that faces the sun?

Use a shade structure sized for the exposure, such as a ramada or pergola oriented to block the worst of the afternoon sun. In Arizona, a west-facing front takes brutal heat, so the shade strategy drives the whole design. We size and place the structure based on the actual sun path for your lot rather than a generic template.

Who designs front yard outdoor rooms in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley?

Living with Lolo designs and builds front yard outdoor rooms across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the surrounding Phoenix metro. Because the firm is a licensed general contractor under ROC #347577, design and construction happen under one roof, which is what keeps the shade structure, hardscape, and planting working as one system. Founder Lauren Lerner leads the design direction on these projects.

How is a front yard room different from a backyard patio?

A backyard is private by default, but a front yard sits on the street, so privacy and enclosure have to be designed in on purpose. The scale and sightlines are different too. The fix is usually landscaping and grade changes that create shelter without closing the space off from the neighborhood, which is part of the appeal of front yard living in the first place.

The open-concept floor plan is not dead in Scottsdale, but it is being replaced by something smarter: the hybrid layout. A hybrid layout keeps the light and flow of an open plan while giving each space a clear purpose, using interior architecture like archways, glass doors, half walls, and changes in flooring or ceiling height. If you are planning a renovation or a new build, the practical move in 2026 is to decide which zones need separation and which should stay open, then design the transitions between them with intention. That single decision is what makes a home feel calm instead of chaotic.

What the research shows

Open layouts are still the default, but the sentiment is shifting. The Houzz 2025 U.S. Kitchen Trends coverage in Forbes reported open-concept kitchens rebounding to 43 percent of renovations in 2023 from 38 percent in 2021, with 64 percent of those homeowners choosing a completely open plan. At the same time, builder data from the NAHB features homebuyers want most, via Pro Builder, shows roughly 86 percent of buyers still want the kitchen and dining either fully or partially open. Partially is the word doing the heavy lifting. The National Association of Realtors’ look at whether open floor plans are still popular points to buyers rethinking wide-open plans after years of working, schooling, and entertaining in one shared room. And in a recent Good Housekeeping feature on what is replacing open-concept homes, I told their editors the same thing I tell clients here: most people do not want to lose the openness, they want more control over it.

What a hybrid layout actually is

A hybrid layout sits between a wide-open plan and a house chopped into small closed rooms. Think of it as zones instead of walls. The kitchen, dining, and living areas can still read as one connected space, but each one has a defined edge, a reason to exist, and a sense of arrival when you move into it. You get the airy sightlines people love and the quiet corners people actually need.

The tools are architectural, not decorative. A wide cased opening or an arch signals a change of room without closing it off. Steel-and-glass doors let you shut a room for a call or a dinner party, then open it back up. A half wall or a run of millwork separates a kitchen from a living room while keeping the conversation going. Even a subtle shift, a tray ceiling in the dining zone or a switch from wood to tile at a threshold, tells your eye that one room has ended and another has begun.

Why Scottsdale homeowners are moving toward hybrid layouts

Scottsdale homes have a specific challenge. The indoor-outdoor lifestyle here rewards big glass and long sightlines to the mountains and the pool, so nobody wants to wall everything off. But these are also working households with home offices, teenagers, guests, and real entertaining. One giant echoing room does not serve that. A hybrid layout lets a Paradise Valley great room stay open to the patio while a nearby scullery, study, or listening lounge gives everyone a place to land.

There is also a resale and longevity argument. Fully open plans locked a lot of homes into all-white, single-material interiors because there was nowhere for a wall color or a wallpaper to start and stop. Zoned layouts give you those moments back. As a luxury interior designer Scottsdale homeowners bring in for exactly this kind of problem, my honest recommendation is this: do not knock down every wall just because the last decade told you to. Keep the openness where it earns its keep, and buy yourself some separation where daily life demands it.

How we plan a hybrid layout at Living with Lolo

We start with how you actually live, room by room, before we touch a single wall. That is the heart of our design process. Do you work from home and need a door that closes? Do you cook daily and want the range out of the main sightline? Do you host large family dinners that deserve their own room? The answers decide which zones stay open and which get a boundary.

Because Living with Lolo is both a design studio and a licensed general contractor under ROC #347577, we can move or frame those boundaries under one contract instead of coordinating a separate builder. That matters for a hybrid layout, where the magic lives in the construction details: the header over a new arch, the pocket for a glass door, the flush transition where two floors meet. You can see how this plays out across our portfolio, and it shapes everything from a full high-end home remodel in Scottsdale to a focused Scottsdale kitchen remodel. If you want a sense of budget before you start, our guide to what a kitchen remodel costs in Scottsdale is a good place to begin.

Our clients across Paradise Valley and the Silverleaf and DC Ranch enclaves increasingly ask for this middle path, and it is now a core part of our interior design services.

Is a hybrid layout right for your home?

If you have ever felt like your open-concept home is beautiful in photos but exhausting to live in, the answer is probably yes. The fix is rarely more walls. It is smarter walls, placed with intention, and transitions that are designed rather than accidental. That is the work, and it is worth doing before you spend on finishes. It is also the kind of decision worth making alongside the rest of your material and layout choices, which is why we cover it in our 2026 luxury home design trends guide.

Frequently asked questions

What is a hybrid layout in a house?

A hybrid layout keeps the open feel of a great room while giving each area a defined purpose and edge. Instead of one undivided space, you get connected zones separated by soft boundaries like archways, glass doors, half walls, or a change in flooring or ceiling height. It is the middle ground between fully open and fully closed.

Is open concept going out of style in 2026?

Open concept is not going away, but pure wide-open plans are being rethought. Industry data still shows most buyers want the kitchen and dining at least partially open, yet more homeowners are asking for zones and quiet rooms after years of living in one shared space. The trend is toward openness with structure, not a return to small closed rooms.

How do I break up an open floor plan without building walls?

Use architectural cues that separate without closing off. Wide cased openings, steel-and-glass doors, half walls, millwork, a change in ceiling height, or a shift in flooring material all signal a new zone while keeping sightlines and light. A partition screen is a no-renovation option if you want separation you can move.

How much does it cost to reconfigure a floor plan in Scottsdale?

It depends on whether you are moving structural walls, adding doors, or simply redefining zones with finishes. Cosmetic zoning is far less than structural work that requires new headers and permits. Our Scottsdale kitchen remodel cost guide gives realistic ranges, and a walkthrough is the fastest way to get a number for your specific home.

Should the kitchen stay open in a hybrid layout?

Usually the kitchen stays visually connected but gets a clear edge, like an island, a half wall, or a cased opening, so noise and cooking mess stay contained. Many Scottsdale clients keep the kitchen open to the living area and the patio while adding a separate scullery or prep pantry out of the main sightline.

Who designs hybrid layouts in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley?

Living with Lolo, a luxury interior design and design-build firm founded by Lauren Lerner in Scottsdale, plans and builds hybrid layouts across Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Because the firm is also a licensed general contractor under ROC #347577, design and construction happen under one contract, which is what makes the architectural transitions in a hybrid layout come out right.

If your renovation extends outdoors, the same zoning logic applies to the front of the house. See our guide to front yard living in Scottsdale.
