I have now worked with LK Design twice, and it has been worth every penny both times. The first time my husband and I needed some help picking paint colors for our recently purchased home. Laura with LK Design listened and helped me pick paint colors that fit the "vibe" of our home, but she also made sure that our rooms fit into the same color pallet and therefore flowed from space to space. We have been incredibly happy with the neutral paint she helped us pick out, which lightened up our living space and is an easy color to match furniture and details to. It is surprisingly hard to pick paint color, as it changes with the light and space of a home/room. The second time, Laura helped with a kitchen renovation. We needed help coordinating color again. She took the counter sample we had already decided on, and offered several options for cabinet and back splash color schemes. She remains neutral with her personal opinion but is more than willing to share if you ask. She again listened to our goal, which was to freshen up the space but not do anything too weird for resale, and we are feeling confident and excited about our choice now. We can't wait to see the final transformation. Thanks to LK Design for the invaluable input, advice, and remarkable eye for color and design. read more

Laura Koshel of LK Design is simply phenomenal! Basically we asked her to start from scratch in our new home's open great room/dining room area, and from our very first meeting, we knew we were in great hands. Laura combines her gift for color and design with outstanding organizational skills, and the results are amazing! She began by asking for our thoughts and preferences and then hit the ground running. She was thorough and precise, quickly taking measurements to ensure all pieces were properly sized for the space, and then she helped us build the room piece by piece, always keeping our budget in mind. She researched and investigated, and then in every case, she gave us great choices as well as her input and guidance. Occasionally the choices would include one option that, in the past, would have been outside our comfort zone, and we're so grateful that Laura helped us broaden our horizons! We could not be more pleased with the outcome! Now we have asked Laura to help us with our master bedroom and small study, and we can't wait to see the magic she will work in these spaces. Without reservation, we highly recommend Laura Koshel and LK Design! read more

My husband and I love working on our house, constantly changing things up and we always have a million and one idea of what we want done and how it should look. I will admit I am quite set in my ways, and so is my husband. When we bought our beach house we decided to give an Interior Designer a try, just to see what would come of it. We are so glad we did! We renovated the house ourselves and wanted to keep some original elements. I had a ton of ideas, but all of them together did not make sense to me yet. At the end of our journey, we had a beautiful beach living room with modern, vintage and  some of original house pieces coming together in one eclectic, almost whimsical way. Laura is very knowledgeable and has a great taste, that goes without saying. All you need to do is look at her portfolio and you will definitely like what you see. She is very versatile and open minded. However, what impressed me the most is how easy it was to work with her, how non-intrusive her style and work ethic is. She listens, takes time to process and puts her whole self into the creative process. I would absolutely call her again! MV read more

It was finally time to put up the window treatments in our new house. I did some research and selected Laura Koshel of LK Design. We set up an initial meeting to look at the windows, discuss the type of window treatments she had in mind, fabric type, and price. We signed a contract and then she set out to look for the fabrics on her own. We had a second meeting to choose fabric. All fabrics were perfect choices but Laura helped us pick the perfect one for each window. We made a decision and they were installed a month later. We couldn't be happier with her service. She was with us every step of the way including installation. We had a glitch with measuring on one window blind and one valance. At our request, Laura came back to lower all valances and she was very happy to oblige. All of our concerns were resolved and we are very happy with the result. I would recommend Laura to anyone who needs quality custom window treatments. read more

My family recently purchased a home in Raleigh and undertook a major remodel of the downstairs. We were already working with a general contractor; however, we were in desperate need of an interior designer to help solidify our design decisions, pick light fixtures, and assist with a bathroom design. We reached out to Laura at the recommendation of a friend, and she did not disappoint! Laura helped us select all our downstairs lighting and paint colors and she helped us design the coolest half bath ever! She found the dramatic wallpaper we were looking for and even had a wallpaper installer. We worked with several people throughout our remodel and Laura was by far our favorite. She is responsive, efficient, organized, and fun! We plan to use Laura again for future renovations and would highly recommend her to anyone who may be undertaking a home project--big or small. Thank you, Laura, for helping to make our home beautiful! read more

My husband and I recently purchased our first home knowing that it was going to need some design rehab and wanted to start with paint. My husband nor I are design savvy and really wanted to get a professional opinion before we committed to a large paint job. I reached out to a few different local designers and design firms but none of them were ready to just get to our house and get down to business like Laura was. I spoke with her on a Wednesday or Thursday and she was able to meet us at our new house that Sunday with tons of ideas. She was efficient and listened to all of our questions and concerns and was able to help us make some great decisions. Thanks to Laura, our home got a much needed lift and now feels like ours. I would highly recommend working with LK on your next design project. read more

We initially contacted Laura for a color consultation, but were so impressed with her that we asked her to develop a design plan for us. She made the whole process so easy; not only is she fun to work with, but she is incredibly organized! She sets clear expectations and deliverables every step of the way, so there are no surprises. We gave her a tough task - to design a sophisticated family room that could withstand kids, one dog, and a cat - and she did not disappoint. She worked to find us fabrics that not only looked good, but could handle our rambunctious bunch. The end result was beautiful! Sometimes we still walk in and ask ourselves, "is this really our house?" We highly recommend Laura, and will definitely contact her for future projects. read more

Laura helped to realize our vision or our new house, which was a big shift from contemporary modern to a hybrid Craftsman/ mid century modern style. We even consulted her before we bought the house to decide what existing furniture would work and we wanted to replace. She is so much fun to work with and is very intuitive, getting you to what you want rather than what you ask for. She was a tremendous resource for picking out new furniture and selecting fabrics, and did a great job getting our blinds installed. Laura's fee is very fair and she didn't try to sell us on stuff we didn't need. Highly recommend LK Design! read more

We have been in our home for several years but decided to take our time with finishing certain rooms because we had young children. In working with Laura at LK Design, we have been able to complete a few rooms in a way that we will enjoy for a long time to come while being resilient growing kids. Laura has been thoughtful, considerate of our style preferences while developing a creative look for our space. We could not be happier with the outcome and it has been a pleasure to work with Laura. We look forward to working with Laura on future interior design projects. Highly recommend LK Design! read more

I actually won the initial consultation through a school fund raiser/auction. But many beautiful things came about as a result of the consult. Laura helped picked colors for a couple bedroom walls, and picked gorgeous fabrics for window coverings for 3 bedrooms. Our master bedroom feels much warmer - in a "feeling good" kind of way cause we don't need anymore "heat" here in North Carolina! And the other 2 bedrooms feel "complete" now. I have a few other projects I plan to have Laura help me with. She has excellent taste! Highly recommend her! read more

It was my first experience working with a designer, and so I appreciated how Laura laid out the entire process, timetable, and budget expectations. It's a leap to buy a room full of furniture sight unseen, but really, Laura and her team know what they are doing and we couldn't be happier with the result. They took our likes and dislikes seriously, and really transformed the space with the right color, lighting and a couple of small suggestions that brought it all together. I am delighted every time I walk into our very cool living room. read more

Laura is great to work with. She has both design and organizational skills. She listened and asked questions until she understood what we wanted. Then she came up with a plan, a timeline, and a budget, in writing. She stuck to all three beautifully, keeping us posted on progress as things went along. Expect her to arrive to the minute when she said she would come, with everything she said she would bring for you, and to followup when she promises to do something. Plus -- the results are fun and awesome looking! read more

LK DESIGN accomplished an incredible job in designing and furnishing our office. Everything flows well together, and the colors and decorations look great. Laura was very quick responding to any requests and is super easy to work with! She has an excellent network of vendors and could help us in any area we needed some help. We highly would recommend Laura for any interior jobs we had an enjoyable experience with LK design! read more

LK design is the best... We have worked with Laura on numerous projects and she always comes through with great designs and vendors. We can't overemphasize the advantage of an interior designer that so deftly combines beauty and functionality. She is by far the best interior designer we have worked with in the Triangle, North Carolina and probably anywhere else. read more

Working with Laura and her team at LK Design was such a pleasure! Laura has an incredible vision for creating spaces that feel both beautiful and inviting. It was exciting to see everything come together, and the end result is more than I could have hoped for. I truly walk in my home and it feels like a big hug! I can't recommend Laura and LK Design enough! read more
