Custom Home Interior Design Scottsdale

Building a custom home in Scottsdale or Paradise Valley is one of the most significant investments you will make. It is also one of the most complex. When the foundation is poured, every finish decision, every ceiling height, every built-in and lighting plan needs to be made in the right sequence or it costs you time and money. Living with Lolo brings a licensed general contractor and a full interior design team to your project from day one, so those decisions happen correctly the first time.

Lauren Lerner has worked on custom home builds throughout Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the North Scottsdale foothills. She partners with architects and builders at the pre-construction phase, which means the design is not retrofitted to the structure. The structure is built around the design. The result is a home that looks intentional because it was.

You might be building a custom home with Living with Lolo if you are…

• Working with an architect and need a design-build partner who speaks both languages: architecture and interiors
• Building in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, North Scottsdale, or the surrounding area and want a firm with established local relationships
• Done with the spec-home look and ready for a home that reflects how you actually live
• Coordinating a build timeline and need someone who can manage design decisions, procurement, and GC oversight in one place
• Investing $1.5M or more in a ground-up build and cannot afford to course-correct expensive mistakes mid-construction
• Looking for a single point of contact who handles design, procurement, and licensed general contracting under one roof

What custom home interior design with Living with Lolo looks like

Every custom home engagement begins before the permits are pulled. Lauren reviews the architectural plans, identifies design-critical decisions that need to be made early, and builds a phased project roadmap so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Pre-construction design planning – Floor plan review, ceiling height input, window placement recommendations, and kitchen layout consultation during the architectural phase
• Full interior specification – Every finish, fixture, cabinet, countertop, tile, floor, and hardware selection documented with trade-source pricing
• Custom millwork and built-ins – Design and sourcing of custom cabinetry, shelving, entertainment centers, and closet systems coordinated with your builder
• Lighting design – Full lighting plan including can placement, architectural lighting, fixtures, and controls, designed before the electrician rough-ins
• Procurement and logistics – All furnishings, fixtures, and materials sourced, ordered, tracked, and installed through Living with Lolo
• GC coordination and oversight – Lauren holds ROC license #347577 and can serve as your licensed general contractor, or coordinate directly with your GC as a licensed design-build partner

Living with Lolo is one of the only interior design firms in Scottsdale that holds both a design practice and a licensed general contractor designation. For custom home clients, this eliminates the gap between what the designer wants and what the contractor builds.
