KITCHEN INTERIOR DESIGN.

We curate a collection of high-quality, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing appliances that enhance your cooking experience. From state-of-the-art ovens to smart refrigerators, our kitchen designs offer convenience at your fingertips.
All of our kitchen interior designs emphasize the importance of proper task lighting for food preparation, ambient lighting to set the mood, and accent lighting to highlight architectural features.

For this Scottsdale interior design project, we worked closely with our clients to transform their builder-grade home from farmhouse to modern. From the large custom pieces to the smaller luxury interior design details, we can’t get enough of how this space turned out. Read on for a look inside!
Stools-https://rstyle.me/+mKp2nXgLgOpA9Zyl0X0xDg
They say the best things come in threes, so to complement the pre-existing hard finishes, we hung three large, black pendants above the island. We love the impact this detail added to this otherwise light and bright kitchen!
Balancing beauty and functionality, we added counter stools featuring a stunning texture made of performance fabric. This detail is crucial for family homes to ensure easy clean up and lasting durability.
Table-https://rstyle.me/+4vMfpZyKykZJT3C55B6C5Q
In the breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen, we added beautiful custom drapery and a custom rod to fit the space’s curved windows. No home is the same, so we love being able to lean on our connections with trusted vendors to incorporate unique pieces tailored to each of our clients’ needs.
To complement the black lighting from the kitchen, we also added a black, rattan pendant above the dining table. Surrounding the great oak dining table, we, of course, opted to include chairs made with performance fabric as well.
Coffee Table-https://rstyle.me/+7K_c3qp35fPA4alC0EVLww
Just beyond the kitchen is our clients’ family room. To fit the scale of the space, we added a custom sofa on top of a large, vintage-style rug. Further furnishing the space, we added a round coffee table. We’re swooning over the luxury interior design and organic feel that the natural pine wood brought into the space!
Check out our 6 Most Popular & Timeless Coffee Tables blog post for more pieces you’re sure to love!
Sideboard-https://rstyle.me/+Cy02jz8SKjqqO8oA_sQYrw
Wine and dine, anyone? Because our clients love wine, we knew we had to add statement wine shelving above the dining room’s custom sideboard to serve as the focal point of the interior when guests walk in.
Additionally, to suit our clients’ entertainment needs, we needed to comfortably seat 10 people in the space, so we added a large, modern dining table made of mixed materials: wood and brass. This beautifully mirrors the brass detailing on the back of the surrounding dining chairs. Like the seating in the kitchen and breakfast nook, we made it a priority to incorporate dining chairs made of performance fabric as well.
Bed- https://rstyle.me/+-105SIlndnsO6mHEfcsreQ
This project’s primary bedroom is one of our favorites! As a backdrop for the space, we added wooden detailing topped with deep blue paint on the back wall. Contrasting this statement color, we added an off-white custom rug that was large enough to fill up the space for an additional dash of coziness. Check out our Rug Style Trends We Love blog post for more pieces to elevate your interiors!
To draw the attention upward and highlight the home’s tall ceilings, we centered a canopy bed in between two wide nightstands. Who else loves the subtle pop of texture the bed’s herringbone pattern and lamps’ cement base add to the room?
To provide our client with an ample amount of working room in her office, we incorporated a large desk that was actually created to be a dining table! The table’s length allows for two guests to be comfortably seated side by side.
Next, we added beautiful shelving and sideboards for storage. We love how these cabinet designs balance form and function. Lastly, for the jewelry of the space, we added a black metal light with intricate glass detailing.

Recently on the blog, we shared a sneak peek inside our Bronco Project, a North Scottsdale interior design project that doubles as our CEO’s home and an office space for the Living With Lolo Team! Today, we’re finally unveiling the remainder of the home! Keep reading for a look inside this beautiful abode.
Chairs-https://rstyle.me/+usPo4wnHxncRJCh37qufPA
We extended a one-of-a-kind feel throughout the home with custom interior design elements that best fit the style and personality of our CEO.
Centering the primary bedroom, we added a custom upholstered bed with a fun abstract pattern painted across it! While we kept the surrounding fabrics neutral, we added a pop of color as the backdrop for this space with this gorgeous wallpaper from Quercus & Co. We love how it brought life into the room in a muted and sophisticated way.
At the foot of the bed, we added two elegant hardwood chairs to fill the remainder of the space with comfort and style. For finishing touches, we also styled a rug, custom nightstands, and custom Roman shades for an additional dash of cozy.
Bench-https://rstyle.me/+CODW-ucZ6Koo-dttFDzTRA
In the primary bathroom, we incorporated the same black-stained oak cabinetry with push-to-open mechanisms found in the kitchen. The push-to-open cabinetry allows for no visible hardware, creating an ultra-sleek, modern look. The white quartz countertops and marble flooring add a gorgeous shine and contrast to the space.
To warm up the space, we added an Annie Selke runner and natural elm bench. This detail sprinkled in some beauty and functionality into the bathroom. For some more inspiration on how to incorporate benches into your interiors, check out the 5 bench styles we love!
Lastly, our CEO obviously knows what interior dreams are made of! Because she envisioned a spa just outside the primary bathroom, we added a large slider to connect the two spaces and bring an indoor-outdoor feel into the bathroom.
This luxurious fixture on the ceiling has to be our favorite part of the master bathroom! Can you blame us?
Bed-https://rstyle.me/+PG7FqM7Kzcffx1hbOUvvZQ
This project’s guest bedroom is made to appeal to any visitor! This beautiful cane and wood bed creates a fun and modern feel. The pillows, Loloi rug, and gorgeous custom artwork tie it all together for a cozy overnight stay.
Coffee Table-https://rstyle.me/+9bLuIfw5GuVJgnx8CeAMBg
Our CEO wanted to create a gorgeous, yet inviting space where her family can unwind and watch movies. This chic hangout room is the perfect spot to sit back and relax! The custom olive sofa is to die for and was built for comfort.
Centering this room is a bold, minimalistic coffee table with an intricate texture. Large and spacious, it is the ideal spot for her son to hangout and build puzzles. For a vibrant pop of color and personality, we added fun artwork and custom drapery.
Explore more of our coffee table picks in our 6 Most Popular & Timeless Coffee Tables blog post.
Sideboard-https://www.chairish.com/product/4761312/yael-sideboard-in-sandy-ash?clickId=5115150524
At Living with Lolo, we are all about having functional, livable spaces that are full of beauty, life and character. The sandy ash sideboards make a show-stopping statement and add ample storage to the room.
Is this rug Loloi? If so, need to tag to fulfill partnership requirements
We value creating spaces that are unique and distinctive. This powder room room is the perfect example of fun, yet sophisticated and was so much fun for us to design.
The wallpaper is a unique, handpainted print with purple and moth tones. For consistency, we painted the same color on the baseboards and ceiling, and even used the same quartz from the kitchen on the 12-inch floating vanity.

After living in this beautiful Scottsdale home for several years, our clients wanted to bring a more unique, contemporary feel to their spaces through a complete remodel. Read on for a first glimpse inside our latest Scottsdale interior design project, Hidden Hills!
https://rstyle.me/+2f1aPUbbsspIiCB6Hb5mpQ– Console
To best serve the needs of this family, we added luxury vinyl flooring with a white oak finish throughout the home as it is extremely durable. Its resistance to stains, bacteria, water, and mold make it the perfect option for clients with pets or children.
To make the warm woods and furniture in the home really pop, we painted all of the walls and baseboards a beautiful white shade called Chantilly Lace. In the entryway, it’s a beautiful and bright contrast to the cane console table, ceramic lamp, and handmade art.
https://rstyle.me/+jGgZcZpVnfvgP4tPjtF3Dg– Chairs
In the family room, we added rift cut white oak cabinets and floating shelves styled with some of our favorite accessories. Adjacent to the shelves, we added a custom cement fluted fireplace as the focal point for the space. We love how this piece balances both statement and subtle!
We pride ourselves on creating designs that are personalized just for our clients. To fit the scale of their large family room, we added two custom sofas: one leather and one in a white performance, linen-like fabric.
The two sofa styles surround a black marble console table and two accent chairs. To draw the eye upward, we hung a beautiful brass chandelier, which is a metal found in various accents throughout the home.
To open the family room up to the backyard, we replaced windows with a 20-foot, sliding door. We love how this detail brought the sunlight and nearby mountain views in!
https://rstyle.me/+lvGscLjBmrF48lACTdkZmw– Mirror
We encourage clients to step out of their comfort zones by being brave and bold with their style, but in an approachable, fun, empowering way. In this project’s powder bathroom, we added a fun cement tile with an abstract graphic print.
Complementing the black and white tones found in the pattern, we added black mirror and a vanity made of black metal and a marble top. Lastly, for a pop of color, we added a beautiful sage green grass cloth wallpaper.

Thoughtfully selecting show-stopping luxury pieces that embody our clients’ personality is one of our favorite parts of the design process. One interior design trend that we always feature in our projects is statement modern pendants.
Pendants provide functional lighting and increase the uniqueness of a room by enhancing complementary finishes, textures, and colors featured in nearby accents. Read on to discover various pendants we’ve incorporated into recent client projects!
https://rstyle.me/+cAi9YjysJf9yuq0Jlrbc_g
While most can only imagine concrete lighting in an industrial style home, they actually pair well with a modern setting. Cement pendants add a subtle touch of texture and rawness to your space, creating a focal point for the room.
In our Scottsdale interior design project, Ironwood Drive, we added this elegant gray pendant to make the most of this gorgeous nook in the kitchen. The effervescence, neutral hue of this cement pendant is a welcome tone to any modern and traditional home.
https://rstyle.me/+iVhzOA0H_A0dR4I5Q_2NTQ
If you long for statement lighting, this is the pendant for you! These show-stopping brass pendants incorporated in our Scottsdale interior design project, Trailside View, bring a show-stopping appeal to the space.
The pendants’ bold brass detailing creates subtle hues throughout the kitchen. We love how the modern, linear lines balance with banding across the diameter of the light. Caged in the center are six candelabra sockets to offset lots of light into the kitchen.
https://rstyle.me/+vderFSCKErlClQ4RnBV_0w
For a subtle pop of texture, consider adding linen pendants to your space. In our Scottsdale interior design project, Hidden Hills, we added white linen Heloise Pendants to create a balance between modern and traditional elements. The iron detail on the bottom of the shade creates a beautiful lightscape that elevates the kitchen. The balance between neutrals and quieter elements in this space keeps things classy and elegant!
https://rstyle.me/+e99aWoE1ShwnPIci5IH6tw
We can’t get over this elegant glass pendant! This light fixture creates a warm glow and a satisfying blend of form and function in this gorgeous bathroom. This glass pendant has a minimalistic, smooth, and cylindrical shape, and the beautiful smoke glass complements a variety of environments. This magnificent pendant doubles as a work of art!
https://rstyle.me/+pRsDGVXtx6Gaypl08lt2CA
Mixing metals creates a gorgeous outcome when done with a sense of purpose. Mixing warm metals with both cool and warm undertones can provide any space with a balanced feel.
In our Scottsdale interior design project, Fairway Drive, we added these mixed metal pendants to add a mid-century modern flair to the space. The black and brass pendants tied the space together gorgeously and added a unique element to elevate the kitchen.
https://rstyle.me/+Onb687LTrgFPi1HON5x7RQ
Mini pendant lights add a sleek and clean appearance to just about any modern home. These pendant lights are ideal for modern homes because they combine elegance with simple design. Align these mini pendants in multiples across a table, island, counter, or bar to make a dramatic design statement.
We hope this blog post helped you gain some inspiration on which pendants you may want to style in your home! For more design trends, tips, and project reveals, subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram.

Looking to find your footing when it comes to home design? Rugs are one of our go-to pieces to ground and define an interior. Whether you’re wanting to connect or divide a space, rugs are great for adding intention and warmth to your home. Keep reading for a look at five rugs we recently styled in our interior design projects!
An entryway is where first impressions are made, so it’s important that it sets the tone for the rest of the home. Combining modern and Moroccan, this geometric rug’s pop of pattern is the perfect way to draw guests into our Montevista Project.
We know how intimidating prints can be for homeowners, but oftentimes pattern is just what the interior needs to make a memorable statement. Featuring the same black and ivory tones found in nearby details, this geometric rug added a beautiful and balanced feel to our project’s entryway.
Bonus: the durable weave made it an ideal piece for a high-traffic space like this one!
We’re all about incorporating color and pattern in an approachable way, like we did in our 83rd Place project. In a neutral interior like this one, a rug with a pop of color is great to style alongside quieter elements as it keeps the design interesting and eclectic without going over the top. The over-tufted dot design also adds a subtle and intriguing texture to the space. Who said solids have to be boring?
When it came to adding sophistication and comfort to our Calle de Pompas Project, we looked no further than this cowhide rug. Its organic shape was a beautiful complement to the dining space’s small circular table. The rug’s natural texture and dark tones also added a warm and masculine touch to the interior.
High-contrast and high-impact color palettes are our love language, so it’s no wonder why this black and white rug was love at first sight for us. Its sleek and elegant colorway is just what our Silverleaf project’s entryway needed to draw guests in.
We love combining chic, contemporary style with relaxed, approachable comfort. That’s why in our Ironwood Project’s primary bathroom, our goal was to create a serene, organic feel with touches of glam throughout. This textured jute rug gave us the best of both worlds! Its high contrast made a statement, while its natural texture kept the space feeling simple and grounded.

We often call our style eclectic because we love mixing various styles! Our goal is always to create a space that is cohesive where you cannot tell you are blending different styles.
Here are our top tips for successfully mixing different décor styles together.
Pick a few colors + focus on them
Even if you are decorating with one style, we prefer to keep colors simple! Pick one or 2 colors only per space and use them in different ways and with different textures. Layer the colors and textures to achieve an effortless look. If you are using a coffee table that has a modern feel, pick your occasional chairs in a more contemporary feel in a similar or coordinating color. Always start with neutrals and layer your color on top.
Start with one item you love and repeat an element in the item but by incorporating a different style. For example, If you find a sofa you love with curved legs, incorporate more curves in the lighting, coffee table, art, etc but feel free to mix up the styles. The repetition of the element will bring it all together. Focus on about 80% of your decor being from one style and 20% being from another.
Adding art in a contrasting style is a great way to effortlessly start blending styles in a space and to make it look cohesive. If you have a traditional space, don’t be afraid to add a more abstract contemporary piece and visa versa.
Don’t be overly concerned with being matchy! In fact, we prefer not to be! If you are using a marble table, incorporate some vintage rattan chairs or another piece with great vintage feel and texture. Just make sure that everything repeats at least once! If you incorporate marble make sure something else in the room is marble- it can even be an accessory!
Don’t buy coordinating furniture sets
Don’t assume that you can only design your house in the style of the architecture of the home
Don’t use the same color, fabric, pattern or finish in the various pieces you chose
Don’t be afraid to take risks and think outside the box when designing your home!

A powder room can often be a forgotten space, however, it is
a great opportunity to have some fun with design, adding a low commitment,
whimsical or bold touch.
Here are some easy and creative ways to spruce up your
powder room:
Wallpaper: Because a powder room is generally a smaller space, an investment in beautiful wallpaper is cost-effective, so splurging is a must. For example:
Our ‘Fresh, Fantastic and Fun on 1st Street’ powder room, golden-patterned wallpaper by Hygge and West adds a Hollywood Glam / Art Deco feel to a pint-sized powder room, complemented by brass accents in the light fixture and oversized, round mirror by Anthropologie.
Have fun with tiles! A fully tiled backsplash in unexpected colors and patterns adds a breath of fresh air to what could be an otherwise bland space. We absolutely love this Complementto bathroom with a delightful, large lilac scale pattern accented by sharp black hardware and a clean, light wood countertop.
Brightly colored bathroom hardware adds a quirky, retro, touch – such as these multi-colored, 1970s style faucets in a bathroom by Freunden von Freunden.
For additional colored bathroom faucet inspiration, check out this article by Apartment Therapy.
The most important thing to remember when designing or
renovating a powder room is that it’s a perfect opportunity to branch out of
your comfort zone, in a low stake but super impactful way! So GO FOR IT!

We can’t get enough of the remodel we did in Grayhawk and neither can you based on the responses we have has on our Instagram posts from this project! 
This client is an avid baker and has a small bakery business out of her home so the kitchen was the biggest priority in the space and the rest was designed around that. She wanted to refinish her cabinets but didn’t want white so we picked a beautiful neutral gray. The backsplash + her island lighting were picked out at the very start of the project when she fell in love with them. The cement tile backsplash gives her kitchen a pop and is a strong focal point. The oversized pendant lights give the kitchen some height and interest as your eyes move up.
We chose to use a quartz countertop for its durability. You get the look of marble without the hassle of taking care of marble. It holds up to heat well + it takes the luxury feel of this kitchen up a notch.
Our client had a built-in desk and wanted to make it more unique and space she truly loved for her cookbooks and for recipe research. We added some floating shelves to display her cookbooks and we all just love how it turned out!

Location: Cave Creek, Arizona
This project was so fun for us! We loved working with this family to transform an unused formal living room into a game room that they all love. We had several requirements: To make this the coolest game room around but also a space that the mom was proud to have at the front of her home that didn’t scream game room.
The home was beautiful but it had the typical Arizona brown finishes + travertine floors. Before we started on the furniture design, we gave the space a facelift with a fresh coat of paint and custom drapery. The high ceilings begged for beautiful panels all the way to the ceiling and boy did they make the space!
We created two main areas of the room, a seating area to watch games and play shuffleboard and a place to hang out and play some pool. The seating area features some updated modern traditional chairs that look as cool as they are comfy and also a Samsung picture frame tv. How cool is it that you can display art on your tv when it is not being used!?
We finished off the space by also updating and designing the entryway. We wanted to be sure to set the tone for the home when you first walk in + we love how it turned out.
