Whether a custom build or full home renovation, Lorla Studio’s Full Service Interior Design offering provides start-to-finish attention to detail that will leave you with a stunning space that you love everyday. This service is particularly valuable for those lacking the time to manage various trades and the numerous moving parts of a large project, and who value meticulous execution. Lorla Studio serves multiple roles in executing full service projects, from ideation of a design, identification of appropriate partners– including architects and trades– to representing clients’ interests in engaging with the various partners to implement all the details for a custom build or full home renovation.

What to Expect with Full Service Interior Design
Full service design includes everything you need to fully renovate a home or create a new custom build. As your trusted interior design studio in Washington, DC, we seek to be one of your first hires, helping you navigate the process from start to finish. We’ll work with you to identify the scope of work, set realistic expectations around your timeline and budget, and identify the team needed to complete your project. We conceptualize the design of your home, provide all required drawings and documentation, and source and procure all furniture, finishes and decor.
Our Design Approach
We work closely with your architect and contractor, and are on site frequently during construction to ensure the design is implemented as intended and completed on time. This is a white-glove offering with the option to receive move-in ready concierge services and finishing touches, such as professional organizing services and stocking the kitchen pantry to your liking! Taking excellent care of our clients is at the core of what we do. The spaces we design spark a new joy and excitement in the place our clients call home. We deliver a beautiful and livable space through our trusted design process, and we pride ourselves in bringing creativity, leadership, experience, and a sharp eye for detail to every project. We excel in leading our clients, and the team they hire, through the design, renovation and build process. We love designing unique spaces that reflect each client’s specific lifestyle and taste. We manage trades, consult with contractors, and streamline communication so that our clients can focus on their personal priorities, and not worry about the day to day of the project—that’s our job!
Our clients feel at peace in the spaces we design, and often cannot believe it is the same space, sharing that they wished they had worked with us sooner.
We work closely with you to understand the basic functional needs of your home, your lifestyle and to determine your desired aesthetic. Once we have a good feel for these fundamental parameters, we work within your budget to deliver a space that is specific to your needs and values, and one that reflects the existing architecture and geographical location.
We source materials, furniture and decor from all over the world, and have fostered relationships with artists, vendors and craftsmen to ensure quality and the highest quality finishes.
We prioritize working with smaller businesses, local companies and other vendors who prioritize social and environmental sustainability, rather than the big box stores. That said, most of our projects are a mix of high and low pieces, high value solutions mixed with one-off finds, and some items from large retailers. We love incorporating vintage elements into our projects, and if we can’t find what we’re looking for locally, we have a wealth of online vintage retailers we utilize.
We also love designing bespoke elements for your space, and regularly do so. We have customized everything from furniture, to millwork, to art and more. Often, the full potential of a space is only realized through a custom solution, tailored to the exact parameters of your home. We welcome any and all ideas you have, and there is no design or architectural challenge that we are not ready to tackle!

Our Process for Full Service Interior Design
At Lorla Studio, our process unfolds with three distinct phases.
Phase I: Discovery & Planning
First, we gain a full understanding of the client’s vision, lifestyle, and goals, and work to define the feel, function and scope of work for the project. This starts with an initial Design Consultation, which is followed by a questionnaire, and a discovery meeting to map out a way forward. Next, we conduct a site survey, and meet with various trades to identify key partners for the project. This first phase of the project generally takes 2-4 weeks.
Phase II: Design Development
In Phase II, we spend two to three months to formulate and finalize a design for your project. This includes sourcing project materials, creating project drawings, developing a project budget, and presenting the design to the client.
Phase III: Implementation & Installation
Phase III is where the rubber meets the road, and we work to implement the design by working closely with builders/trades/architects to make the vision a reality. We spend significant time on-site and in engaging the various partners to ensure that the project unfolds as expected. This final phase includes preparing for construction, procurement of various finishes, hardware, and other materials, finalizing project drawings, design implementation, and then the final installation, styling and project wrap-up.
