Paradise Valley, Arizona
Arizona's Most Extraordinary Estates Deserve This Level of Design
Paradise Valley is not a neighborhood. It is its own municipality and one of the wealthiest communities in the United States, home to sprawling estates set against Camelback and Mummy Mountain, where acre-plus lots and architectural landmark homes define a standard that most designers simply cannot meet. Living with Lolo works with Paradise Valley homeowners who are undertaking the most ambitious residential projects in Arizona.
Named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine three consecutive years and licensed as an Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577), we are one of the only firms in the state equipped to manage both the design vision and the construction execution at this scale, under one contract, with one team.
Who We Work With Here
Designed for the Paradise Valley Client
Our Paradise Valley clients are among the most accomplished individuals in the state: founders who built and exited, athletes who made careers out of discipline and performance, executives who have spent decades making high-stakes decisions and have zero interest in managing another project. They want a partner who takes complete ownership, not a vendor who needs managing.
Discretion is not a nicety in Paradise Valley. It is a requirement. Living with Lolo operates with complete confidentiality. We do not post in-progress work without permission. We do not discuss client projects. We show up, do extraordinary work, and deliver homes that speak for themselves.

Our Differentiator
One Firm. Design, Construction, and Installation. One Contract.
Paradise Valley projects are rarely just decorating. They involve structural additions, new construction fit-outs, reconfigured floor plans, wine rooms, home theaters, resort pools, and outdoor living spaces that require a licensed contractor working in close coordination with a designer who holds the same vision from day one. Separating those two roles is where most projects go wrong.
Living with Lolo is licensed as an Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577) in addition to being a full-service interior design firm. This means we can pull permits with the Town of Paradise Valley, manage licensed trades, and build exactly what was designed: no translation loss, no miscommunication between a GC and a separate designer, and no one to blame but us if something falls short.
Design Only
Separate contractor required. Two contracts, two teams, two communication chains. No single accountability for timeline, budget, or outcome.
Living with Lolo
Design and construction under one contract. Licensed GC ROC #347577. One point of contact. Full accountability from the first call to the final install.
What We Can Do That Others Cannot
Pull permits with the Town of Paradise Valley. Manage structural work. Hire and oversee licensed trades. Collaborate with architects from the drawing stage forward.
The Client Experience
You focus on your life. We manage every detail of your estate transformation. You return to a home that exceeds what you imagined, completed on time.

Living with Lolo is a luxury interior design and licensed general contracting firm serving Paradise Valley, AZ. We are the only full-service interior design firm in the area that is also a licensed Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577), which means one contract, one team, and complete accountability from first design concept through final white-glove installation.
Most Paradise Valley homeowners are not just decorating. They are undertaking significant structural renovations: kitchen expansions, primary suite additions, full-home reconfiguration, and resort-style outdoor living spaces. That kind of project requires a licensed contractor, not just a designer with a vision. Living with Lolo manages both under one roof.
Named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine three consecutive years (2024, 2025, and 2026), our team has completed projects throughout Paradise Valley ranging from $400,000 in targeted renovations to over $1 million for full estate transformations. Clients work with us because they want one trusted partner to manage everything, and they do not want to be on the phone between a designer and a contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions: Luxury Interior Design in Paradise Valley
Who is the best luxury interior designer in Paradise Valley, AZ?
Living with Lolo is an award-winning luxury interior design and licensed design-build firm serving Paradise Valley. Lauren Lerner and her team have been named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine three consecutive years (2024, 2025, 2026) and have been featured in Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and Vogue. The firm is the only luxury interior designer in the area that is also a licensed Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577), allowing clients to manage their entire project under one contract.
What makes Living with Lolo different from other Paradise Valley interior designers?
The General Contractor license. Most interior designers in Paradise Valley can select furniture and finishes, but they cannot pull permits, manage structural work, or oversee licensed trades. Living with Lolo holds an active Arizona GC license (ROC #347577) and manages design and construction as one integrated team. There is no handoff between your designer and a separate contractor, no communication gap, and no finger-pointing when something needs to be resolved. For the scale and complexity of most Paradise Valley projects, this matters enormously.
How much does a luxury interior design project cost in Paradise Valley?
Projects in Paradise Valley typically range from $400,000 to over $1 million, depending on the size of the home, the scope of renovation, and whether construction is included alongside design and furnishings. A furnishing-only project for a 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft home typically starts at $150,000 to $450,000. A full design-build renovation for the same home runs $700,000 to $1,500,000 or more. We are transparent about costs from the first conversation and provide a detailed investment guide before any work begins.
Can you manage my Paradise Valley project if I travel frequently?
Yes, and many of our clients choose Living with Lolo specifically for this reason. We are structured to function as a fully autonomous partner. You share your vision, approve key decisions remotely, and return to a completed home. We handle every trade, every delivery, every site visit, and every installation in between. You do not need to be in Paradise Valley, or even in Arizona, while the project is underway.
What types of projects does Living with Lolo handle in Paradise Valley?
We handle full-home renovations, kitchen and primary suite remodels, new construction interior fit-outs, and furnishing-only projects for homes that do not need structural work. Because we hold a General Contractor license, we can also manage projects that require permitting, structural changes, or significant mechanical work. Our Paradise Valley projects range from 3,000 sq ft remodels to 10,000+ sq ft estate renovations.
Does Living with Lolo work in specific Paradise Valley communities?
We have worked throughout Paradise Valley, including guard-gated communities and custom estate neighborhoods. We are familiar with HOA review processes, permit timelines with the Town of Paradise Valley, and the lead times involved in working with luxury builders and trade partners in this market. If you are planning a project in Paradise Valley, we are worth a conversation regardless of which neighborhood you are in.
