Sleek Simplicity

Clean lines and streamlined aesthetics are important in contemporary interior design. Like spaces designed by a modern interior designer, these spaces exude an understated sophistication that eliminates clutter and focuses on only the essential elements.

Neutral Palettes with a Pop of Color

This design style begins with a neutral color palette that sets the stage for visual interest and creativity. Soft hues like whites, grays, and beige create a canvas for your personal style. We integrate bold accents and colors to bring life and energy into the space.

Fusion of Materials and Textures

Adding textures and mixed materials are key in contemporary designs. We combines elements like glass, metal, wood, stone, and textiles to add depth and dimension to your home. The combination of textures enhances both the visual and tactile experience, elevating the overall home. See these 6 popular interior design pendants you’ll want to light up your space with.

Embracing Light and Air

Contemporary interior design celebrates openness and light. We create spaces that feel spacious and bright, allowing natural light to flow freely through large windows and open floor plans.

Form Meets Function

While contemporary interior design embraces modern aesthetics, we never compromise on functionality and comfort. We select furniture and decor pieces that not only elevate the style of your home but also cater to your practical needs. We believe your space should be a reflection of your lifestyle, where beauty and usability coexist seamlessly. These Dining Tables are a great example of this.

Your picture-perfect dream home is so much closer than you think. We are your modern interior designer and our designs are as unique as you are, capturing the spirit of modern elegance while ensuring comfort and functionality. Whether you are looking for a contemporary or modern interior designed space, we will create a home that is perfect for you.

What the Data Shows About Luxury Home Investment in Scottsdale

The 2026 Houzz & Home Study reports that homeowners who work with 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. For luxury homes in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, that investment premium reflects the complexity of the projects and the finish level the market expects.

For context: Zillow data puts the average Paradise Valley home value at $3.45 million as of early 2026, up 13.5% year over year. At that price point, renovation and design decisions have material consequences at resale. Work done at a luxury standard retains and builds value. Work done below market standard does the opposite.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maximalist Interior Design

What is maximalist interior design?

Maximalism is a design philosophy that leans into abundance: layered pattern, rich color, collected objects, and spaces filled with personality. Done well, it feels intentional and vibrant. Done poorly, it reads as clutter. The difference is curation at the level of color theory, spatial hierarchy, and material consistency.

How do you make a maximalist interior feel intentional rather than chaotic?

Lauren Lerner and the Living with Lolo team approach maximalism through strong underlying structure: a clear color logic that ties disparate elements together, focal points that anchor each room, and a deliberate editing process that removes the pieces that fight rather than add to the composition. More is intentional when every element earns its place.

Can maximalism work in a smaller home?

Yes. Scale is adjusted, not the philosophy. In smaller spaces, Living with Lolo focuses the maximalist energy on one or two rooms rather than distributing it throughout, and chooses pattern and color at proportions that suit the square footage. A dramatic dining room or a fully realized primary bedroom can carry the maximalist intent of an entire home.

How do I find a maximalist interior designer in Scottsdale or Phoenix?

Look for a portfolio that shows range within boldness: a designer who can execute different maximalist visions rather than one signature look applied to every project. Living with Lolo has designed maximalist interiors across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Phoenix and has been recognized by Phoenix Magazine for design excellence in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
