Our Process

Our Seven-Step Process in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley

1

Discovery Call

A 15-minute call to understand your scope, budget, and timeline, and confirm we are the right fit before either party invests further time.

2

Virtual Home Consultation

A one-hour virtual meeting where we walk through your spaces together, discuss your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and investment budget. After this call, you receive a custom proposal with your design fee, investment estimate, and projected timeline.

3

Design Agreement & Scoping

We define the full scope, establish a budget range, and execute a design agreement. No work begins until both sides are clear on the vision and investment.

4

Space Planning & Concept

Lauren and the team develop space plans, material palettes, and concept boards. All selections are presented and approved before any orders are placed.

5

Procurement & Permitting

We order all specified materials and, where required, submit permits as the licensed general contractor (ROC #347577). Our procurement system tracks every order in real time.

6

Construction & Project Management

Our licensed construction team manages all trade contractors, coordinating schedules and quality control through the build. One point of contact, zero handoffs.

7

Installation & Final Reveal

Furnishings are installed, every surface is styled, and you see the completed space for the first time. You walk in - it's done.

Full-home renovations in Scottsdale typically complete in 5-6 months. A discovery call will give you a realistic timeline for your specific project.

Our clients love working with us because we handle every single detail with white glove service. Just walk into your custom designed home, we’ll handle everything else.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY.

We Challenge The rules, Intentionally.

We don’t design by the book, we design for impact. At Living with Lolo, we believe that extraordinary homes begin where the rules end. Our philosophy is rooted in bold moves, unexpected details, and intuitive choices that align with your lifestyle, not trends.

We challenge what’s typical to uncover what’s timeless. Because when design is done with intention, your space becomes more than beautiful, it becomes magnetic.

We specialize in white glove, automated design services ideal for busy professionals who want high-touch results without daily involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to expect when working with Living With Lolo — from first call to final installation.

How long does the interior design process take?
A furnishing-only project typically takes 3–6 months from design concept to final installation. A full design-build remodel generally runs 6–18 months depending on scope, permitting, and construction complexity. We provide a detailed project timeline during your consultation.
What happens at the first design consultation?
We start with a virtual consultation where we discuss your project, lifestyle, how you use each space, your aesthetic preferences, and your investment budget. After the consultation, you receive a custom proposal with your design fee, investment estimate, and a projected project timeline.
How involved do I need to be during the project?
As involved as you want to be. Most of our clients are busy professionals who prefer to be presented with curated choices rather than managing every decision. We handle all vendor communication, order tracking, scheduling, and logistics. Your main role is approving designs and selections — we manage everything else.
What is the difference between working with a designer-only firm versus a design-build firm?
With a designer-only firm, you manage a separate general contractor who has never seen your design drawings. At Living With Lolo, we are both your interior designer and licensed general contractor (ROC #347577). Design and construction move as one integrated effort under a single contract — no handoff, no miscommunication.
Do you offer 3D renderings or virtual walkthroughs?
Yes. We offer highly detailed 3D renderings and virtual walkthroughs when needed. These tools help you visualize the full design and make confident decisions before any orders are placed — especially helpful for remote clients or large-scale remodels.
How does Living With Lolo handle procurement and ordering?
We use a proprietary procurement system that tracks every order in real time, manages vendor communication, flags delays proactively, and synchronizes all deliveries with your installation date.
Can you work with my existing contractor or builder?
Yes. For new builds we frequently collaborate with your builder. For remodels, we can work alongside your GC or take over construction management entirely — whichever serves your project best.
What does white-glove installation mean?
Our team handles every step of move-in day — receiving deliveries, unpacking, placing furniture, hanging artwork, installing window treatments, and styling every surface. You walk into a completely finished home.
