Luxury Interior Design Across the Valley

Phoenix is one of the most architecturally varied luxury markets in the country. The Biltmore corridor, Arcadia, Camelback East, and North Phoenix each have their own character, and good design honors that context rather than working against it.

We have worked on projects across Phoenix ranging from full gut renovations to new construction furnishing.

Phoenix clients often come to us after working with designers who treated the desert as a limitation rather than an asset. See our Paradise Valley and Arcadia work for examples of how we approach the region.

The Biltmore corridor is one of our most active Phoenix markets. The mid-century ranch homes in that neighborhood have a specific character that rewards restraint and material depth. See our recent Biltmore interior design project for a detailed look at how we approach that architecture.

One look at Lolo designs and you will fall in love with every single project. First class business. Stunning designs and furnishings. Exceeded my expectations on recent remodel. Every home project should have award winning Lolo on board.

The team understood our style and created a vision that felt cohesive, elevated, and true to how we wanted our home to feel. When we walked into the completed space, it was truly a wow moment. We are so happy with how our home turned out and would highly recommend Living With Lolo to anyone looking for a team that can bring a vision to life in a beautiful and seamless way.

Laura M.

Scottsdale Luxury Interior Design + Furnishing Client

Living with Lolo did an outstanding job on our remodel. The attention to detail was next to none. All their subs that did the work were phenomenal. The furniture pieces and accessories they chose were so unique and different and really gave our home a high-end look. There were a couple of things they suggested that I wasn't sure about, but I trusted them and the finished product was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them and trust their experience and eye for detail.

Are you a licensed general contractor in Arizona?

Yes. Living with Lolo holds Arizona general contractor license ROC #347577. We manage both the design and construction phases under one contract, giving clients a single point of accountability from concept through completed installation.

Design fees are separate and not included in these ranges. Our Scottsdale interior design cost guide covers typical investment ranges in detail.

How do I start a project with Living with Lolo?

The first step is a discovery call. We learn about your home, your goals, and your timeline, and confirm whether we are the right fit. From there we present a complete design concept, move through procurement and construction, and finish with white-glove installation. We take on a limited number of projects each year.

Do you only work in Scottsdale, or do you serve Phoenix as well?

We work throughout the greater Phoenix area and beyond. Phoenix is an active market for us. Other areas we regularly serve include Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Phoenix, Cave Creek, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Sedona, Flagstaff, and Tucson.

What makes Living with Lolo different from other Phoenix interior designers?

Living with Lolo is a full-service interior design firm and a licensed Arizona general contractor (ROC #347577) in one company, so the same team handles design, permitting, procurement, and construction rather than handing the project off to a separate contractor. That single point of accountability means fewer delays and miscommunications on whole-home remodels and new construction in the Phoenix area, from first concept through white-glove installation.

What the Data Shows About Interior Design Investment in Phoenix

The 2026 Houzz & Home Study found that homeowners who hire a professional interior designer spend a median of 43% more on their projects than those who manage design independently, and report significantly higher satisfaction with the outcome. (Source: Houzz & Home Study, 2026)

For context, Zillow puts the average Phoenix, AZ home value at $410,222, essentially flat over the past year. (Source: Zillow, 2026) Living with Lolo's Phoenix clientele in the Biltmore corridor, Arcadia, and North Phoenix consistently operate well above that citywide figure, and design decisions at that price point carry more weight at resale.
