For two consecutive years, Living With Lolo has been named Best of the Valley Interior Design Firm by Phoenix Magazine, a testament to our community-driven approach, desert modern expertise, and unwavering commitment to creating personalized, luxury spaces across Arizona.
This recognition is a reflection of our clients' trust, our team's consistency, and our role as a leading force in the Phoenix and Scottsdale interior design scene.

Why Phoenix Magazine's Award Matters

Unlike editorial or panel-selected honors, Phoenix Magazine's Best of the Valley winners are chosen directly by the people: residents who have experienced our work firsthand. That is what makes this back-to-back award so meaningful. It is a genuine vote of confidence from the community we are proud to serve.

2024: Establishing Design Authority

In 2024, Living With Lolo earned our first Best of the Valley recognition. At that point, we had built a reputation for being undeniably luxurious. That win celebrated a growing portfolio across Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, a design process rooted in function and not just flair, rapid brand recognition thanks to referral-based growth, and Arizona-specific problem-solving built into every design decision.

2025: Proving It Was Not a Fluke

Winning again in 2025 solidified what our clients already know: this is not a trend, it is a standard. The second win proved scalable service without sacrificing quality, a refined repeatable process that works for large-scale builds and small-space updates alike, a team built to serve more clients while maintaining a boutique-level touch, and continued leadership in Arizona's evolving interior design market.

Why Phoenix Chooses Living With Lolo

Authentic, Client-First Design

We do not design showpieces. We design homes. Our work is built around how real people live, entertain, relax, and grow in the Arizona desert. That means functional luxury that supports everyday living, personalized aesthetics rooted in our clients' lives rather than cookie-cutter trends, and smart material selections designed for durability, beauty, and low-maintenance performance in extreme climates.

Arizona Expertise That Makes a Difference

From UV-resistant materials and cool-touch surfaces to HOA compliance and desert-adapted design decisions, we know what works here and what does not. That expertise is part of every project from day one.

What Clients Love the Most

Clients consistently point to hands-on creative leadership from Lauren throughout the entire process, proactive communication so clients always know where things stand, design education and empowerment so every decision feels informed rather than rushed, and flexible service offerings ranging from full-home builds to room refreshes.

Phoenix Magazine's Best of the Valley award reflects real community recognition, not industry self-promotion. The fact that readers in this market keep coming back to Living with Lolo as the answer to who does this best here is what I am most proud of. This is a city where the standards are high and the clients know the difference. — Lauren Lerner
