What Sets the Best Interior Designers in Arizona Apart
Arizona is home to some of the most demanding luxury residential design projects in the country, concentrated in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and North Scottsdale's guard-gated communities. The homes are large, the clients are sophisticated, and the expectations are uncompromising. Not every design firm is equipped to operate at this level.
The best interior designers in Arizona combine exceptional design vision with the operational discipline to deliver it: on-time installation, transparent budgets, and the ability to manage every phase from first concept through final white-glove install. For any project involving structural renovation, they also hold the contractor license that makes it legal and practical to manage that work under one roof.
Living with Lolo is a full-service luxury interior design and licensed general contracting firm based in Scottsdale, founded by Lauren Lerner. The firm has built a reputation across Arizona as the only luxury design firm that manages design, construction, procurement, and installation entirely in-house under one contract. Voted Interior Design winner in PHOENIX magazine's Best of the Valley Readers' Choice awards four consecutive years: 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Arizona General Contractor License: ROC #347577. Recognized by Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Vogue Living (Australia), The Wall Street Journal, and Martha Stewart.
Designed for Arizona's Most Discerning Homeowners
Lauren Lerner and the Living with Lolo team work with homeowners across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, and the greater Phoenix metro who are undertaking significant residential projects: whole-home renovations, full furnishing packages, and new construction interior fit-outs where design and construction both need to be managed at the highest level.
Our clients are high-net-worth professionals, many of whom travel extensively and are not in Arizona full-time. They are not looking for someone to show them mood boards. They are looking for a partner who takes complete ownership of the project and returns their home transformed, without requiring a single vendor call from them.

- Full-time and part-time Arizona residents across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Arcadia
- Projects ranging from $75,000 to $2,000,000+ across design, construction, and furnishings

Interior Design + Licensed General Contractor, Under One Roof
Most Arizona homeowners undertaking a significant renovation discover too late that their designer and their contractor are two separate parties with two separate contracts. That gap is where most delays and budget overruns happen. Living with Lolo eliminates it completely.
Design Only
Separate contractor required. Multiple contracts. Communication gap between designer and general contractor. No single accountability for timeline or budget.
Living with Lolo
Design and construction under one contract. One point of contact. Licensed GC ROC #347577. Full accountability from concept through completion.
What We Can Do That Others Cannot
Pull permits. Manage structural work. Hire and oversee licensed trades. Manage new construction fit-outs from the architectural drawing stage.
The Client Experience
You leave town. We manage everything. You return to a completely finished, fully furnished home: exactly as you imagined it, on time.

Do I need a separate general contractor if I hire an interior designer in Arizona?
If your designer is not a licensed general contractor, yes. In Arizona, an interior designer without a GC license cannot pull permits, manage structural work, or oversee licensed trades. Most design firms require you to hire a separate contractor for any construction scope. Living with Lolo holds Arizona General Contractor license ROC #347577, so you sign one contract and work with one team from first concept through final installation.
How much does luxury interior design cost in Arizona?
Full-service luxury interior design cost in Arizona depends on the scope of design fees, construction, furnishings, and installation. Design fees for a whole-home project start at $3,500 per room depending on scope. For a detailed breakdown, see our guide: How Much Does Luxury Interior Design Cost in Scottsdale?
What areas of Arizona does Living with Lolo serve?

Furnishing projects take 4 to 6 months, remodels take 6 to 8 months, and new builds take 12 to 24 months from the initial discovery call through final styling and installation, with furnishings included in every remodel and new build. The timeline depends on the complexity of the construction scope, permit timelines, and lead times on custom furnishings and materials.
