It's a journey that spans two decades, and it all began with a passion for real estate back in my college days. That spark of enthusiasm led me down a path I could have never imagined. You see, I didn't just fall into design; it was more like design found me through a series of experiences, including house flipping and diving into the world of furniture. Along the way, I leaned on the support of my dear friends and family. Each chapter added layers to my expertise, enriching my design sensibilities. What I've learned is that design is more than aesthetics; it's about connecting with people on a profound level. It's about understanding your dreams, aspirations, and crafting spaces that resonate with your unique essence. That's the core of what I do. Recently in May 2026, one of my new build projects was on the Newport Harbor Home Tour. Over the years, I've had the privilege of being recognized by publications like Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Real Simple, Business of Home, Ocean Home, Livingetc, Sunset, Mansion Global, Aspire Design & Home, House & Garden, Martha Stewart, The Spruce, Business of Home, Designers Today, NPR, Parade Home & Garden, Good Housekeeping, Elle Décor, House Beautiful, HGTV, and Riviera Magazine. Additionally, I've had the honor of working with wonderful clients right here in Orange County and beyond, crafting some of the world's most desirable homes. So, when you work with me, you're not just getting a designer. You're welcoming someone who genuinely cares about making your space a reflection of your personality and dreams. It's a journey we embark on together, where my experience blends with your vision to create something truly special. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Custom Cabinets - Lighting Design - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Custom Built-ins - Entry Design - Floor Plans - Playroom Design - Project Management - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Laundry Room Design - Mudroom Design - Nursery Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - House Plans - Custom Home Bars - Art Selection - Closet Design - Universal Design - 3D Rendering - Basement Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Walk-in Closets - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Rugs - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Home Theater Design - Sustainable Design - Custom Shelving - Home Staging - Drafting - Holiday Decorating - Decluttering - Interior Design Photography - Kitchen Remodeling - Bathroom Remodeling - Home Additions - Custom Cabinet Doors - Home Office Design - Tile Installation ### Areas Served - Costa Mesa - Newport Beach - Tustin - Laguna Beach - Corona del Mar ### Typical Job Cost $500,000 - 5 million $500,000 - 5 million ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Lulu Designs | | Address | 267 Magnolia Street, Costa Mesa, California 92627, United States | | Phone | (949) 370-7759 | | Website | http:// | | License Number | 23377 | | Followers on Houzz | 821 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — http://www.facebook.com/pages/lulu-designs/128330660546706 - X (Twitter) — http://twitter.com/lindsayespinoza - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/pub/lindsay-espinoza/39/733/a3b - Blog — https://www.luludesigns.com/blog/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Lulu Designs](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lulu-designs-pfvwus-pf~1417721673) - **Website:** http:// - **Phone:** (949) 370-7759 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Architectural Digest April '16 Featured Designer, Vanity Fair April '16 Featured Designer, House Crashers Sept '16, HGTV Showhouse Showdown, '13; The Register’s June '13; Decor Pad April '13; House of Turquoise March '13; HGTV’s website, May '12; Riviera Magazine, April '12: Hot Trends for '12 - **Best of Houzz:** 14 awards (2013–2025), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 72 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — irebecca, Dec. 2021** > Lulu Designs is a pro. She is fast and responsive to any questions and needs. Design is so intuitive for her. She's very talented and we feel very lucky to have found her through mutual friends. Don't hesitate to hire Lulu Designs! **★★★★★ — Motus Films, Sept. 2021** > We love photographing Lulu Designs' work. It makes our jobs as photographers a dream because her work is so good. We highly recommend Lulu Designs. **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > Thank you so much for the rave review! Looking forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — Matt Deller, Sept. 2021** > Working with Lindsay and her crack team of professionals (shout out to Nick the Painter!) at LuLu Designs was easily one of the best decisions (and investments) I’ve ever made. From the very start, I found her to be exceptionally attentive and responsive, as well as an excellent collaborator. If you’d prefer to just have an interior designer/builder rubber-stamp everything you say, I’d volunteer that she’s not the professional for you; but if you’re looking to mesh your creative wishes and ideas with someone who possesses not only the much-needed raw logistical mechanics, but who also has the heart of an artist, then Lindsay should absolutely be your first call. **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > Matt... you were a delight to work with and thank you for this rave review! I appreciate working with someone who lets me do my thing, and your house shows your personality, your needs and all of your wants. I am so happy you had the trust in me to bring it to reality. **★★★★★ — balboa406, Sept. 2021** > Lulu Designs was a dream to work with. Lindsay helped me design my dream kitchen and it is better than I ever imagined. A year later I still can't believe it's mine! **★★★★★ — aebright, Sept. 2021** > I highly recommend Lindsay! She helped us remodel our kitchen and family room. She is so easy to work with and brings years of experience and expertise to any project, big or small. There are many things that set her apart from other designers. 1. She thoughtfully works with YOUR style to renovate and refresh your project. 2. She is very considerate of your budget and will show you ways to save or where to "splurge". 3. She doesn't push trendy design for the sake building her portfolio for Instagram. 4. She is very respectful of your time. I found this very thoughtful as my project was billed by the hour. Most often she came over and we powered out what we had to do in an hour. Well worth the investment to avoid costly mistakes. I am looking forward to working with her again on my primary bath and bedroom. **★★★★★ — Heather Condon, Dec. 2017** > Lindsay at Lulu Designs did the most amazing job helping us entirely transform our kitchen. She was absolutely wonderful to work with in every aspect – professional, personable, responsive, detail-oriented, organized, and hardworking. She additionally has an amazing eye for detail and design, and used that to guide us in each decision that we made. We are not only extremely happy with the result – which is beyond what we imagined, but we also entirely enjoyed the process it took to get there – which was seamless, within budget, and on schedule. We look forward to working with Lindsay on future projects. **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > I'm so so happy that you have a brand new Kitchen and get to build and make new memories in this special place in your home. It was a dream to help you and work with you. It was truly my pleasure! I am touched by this rave review! Helping families make their house even better is always my goal and it looks amazing too!! Congratulations to you! **★★★★★ — 1588joe, Oct. 2017** > Lindsey was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her! I wasn't exactly sure how to describe what I was looking for in my living room but somehow she nailed it and it is the most dreamy and inviting room in our entire house... everyone that comes over comments about how beautiful it looks now that Lindsey got her hands on it. She was also able to help me style and organize a few other areas of our home with just things I already had on hand. I look forward to the next room she does for me!! **★★★★★ — Cari Andrews, Sept. 2017** > Linsday at Lulu Designs is AMAZING!!! She is incredibly talented, organized, impeccable in her taste, a tremendously hard worker and a complete professional. She worked miracles to transform our kitchen in 11 days while we were away on vacation. We came home to our dream kitchen which was turnkey perfect and we LOVE it - talk about an extreme makeover moment!!!! Her dedication to making sure everything happened on schedule, on budget, and smoothly was outstanding. I never worried about a thing while I was away. > > She also did an extraordinary job selecting the materials/fabrics which tied in perfectly with our existing decor. Selecting to use Lindsay was the best decision we made and it made the whole process seamless and we absolutely love the finished product!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Lulu Designs. **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > Thank you so much for this review. It was a pleasure helping you. I'm so excited for your new kitchen and all of the memories you'll make here. **★★★★★ — caramarlin, Sept. 2017** > Lindsay has been a joy to work with. I'm in a position where I have a very tight budget. Lindsay was more than gracious to work with me and within the parameters of my budget. She is incredibly talented, creative and flexible. She worked within my timeframe and has been incredibly patient with my need to do things on a project by project basis. She always listens to me and respects my ideas. She is the perfect designer for someone like me who has a difficult time make decisions as I felt most comfortable relinquishing control to her. Anyone who hires Lindsay will be beyond thrilled with her work and attention to detail. She and I aren't done yet and I can't wait to see what she has in store for me for the next project. **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > It has been such a joy working with you and making your house a home. I have loved every second of it and getting to know you and your family. Can't wait for the next phases!! **★★★★★ — Sarah Kasman, April 2017** > Lindsay from LuLu Designs came to my non-profit agency at the invitation of our board members. Lindsay graciously agreed to provide pro-bono design ideas and paint color selections for our mini-reorganization. Lindsay is professional, personable and has the > ability to zero in on our mission, needs and design directions. **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > Thank you so much Sarah! It was a pleasure meeting you and I was so happy to help with your space! **★★★★★ — Janet probst, Feb. 2017** > Lindsay Espinoza, Lulu Designs, was in charge of remodeling and decorating my home, from hardwood floors, some structural changes, baseboards throughout, resurfaced kitchen cabinets, drawers and pulls, along with selection of area rugs, furniture, and pictures. Lindsay's contractor and workmen are first rate. In addition, all furniture, rugs and decorator items were ordered by Lindsay and arrived at my home in a very timely manner. The entire remodel etc, a major project, was competed in about 4-5 weeks. I recommend Lulu Designs and Lindsay to anyone who wants to remodel or decorate their home. She is the best! **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > Thank you Jan... It was so fun to help you. **★★★★★ — HU-699880, Jan. 2017** > This competent, energetic woman came in with a breath of fresh air. She helped us update our draperies and some upholstery. We live overlooking wetlands with oceanview. Somehow the simplicity of the transformation caused the view to become "a beautiful picture". The illusion of the old heavy valances made it seem as though we were looking beneath them to our view. > Lindsay is not one to hold back on other ideas than what we hired her to do. Her expertise caused me to relax and just enjoy choosing only what my husband and I loved! We are now in the process of working on our living and dining rooms as well as a bedroom. What would have taken me months to do on my own with days lost and much uncertainties is done in a few hours. Lindsay's combination of expertise, competence and humility causes me to truly enjoy my times with her. husband and I enjoy our "new home" so much!! **Comment from Lulu Designs:** > Oh my goodness... this is the kindest, most sweet review! I can hear the happiness in your review with the few changes we have already made. I'm tickled pink that you are enjoying our progress and so happy to have met you two. This is very special to me. Thank you for the sincere review. There is a true and meaningful reason we met, I am certain!! ## Selected projects - [Modern Organic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-organic-pj-vj~7333468) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Classic Coastal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-coastal-pj-vj~7333492) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [California - Inspired Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-inspired-residence-pj-vj~7333486) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Eclectic Tradition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-tradition-pj-vj~7333502) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Organically Transitional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organically-transitional-pj-vj~7333445) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [Skate and Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/skate-and-work-pj-vj~7309853) - Location: Costa Mesa, CA - Photos: 26 - [Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-pj-vj~7333507) - Location: Costa Mesa, CA - Photos: 5 - [European Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/european-modern-pj-vj~7872767) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Tradition on the Bay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tradition-on-the-bay-pj-vj~7333498) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 4 - [Bayshore Bungala](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bayshore-bungala-pj-vj~7872716) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Eclectic Manor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-manor-pj-vj~7872733) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Contemporary Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-modern-pj-vj~7309861) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 60 - [Coastal Tradition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-tradition-pj-vj~7333490) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Modern Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-contemporary-pj-vj~7872728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - [Organically Transitional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organically-transitional-pj-vj~7872764) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [Japandi MCM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/japandi-mcm-pj-vj~7872708) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: Japandi Style - [Traditional Bay Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-bay-living-pj-vj~7872772) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 44 - [Beach Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-estate-pj-vj~7872773) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Organic Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organic-modern-pj-vj~7872770) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [A Collectic Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-collectic-farmhouse-pj-vj~7872779) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 [See all 23 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lulu-designs-pfvwus-pf~1417721673) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75883521/list/wish-list) — 11 ideas - [Moss Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/41794973/list/moss-dining-room) — 2 ideas - [Moss Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/41793064/list/moss-kitchen) — 3 ideas - [Moss Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/41797365/list/moss-powder-room) — 1 idea - [sides of island only](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/41793551/list/sides-of-island-only) — 1 idea - [Jocelyne](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35076835/list/jocelyne) — 8 ideas - [Miller Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34445961/list/miller-residence) — 1 idea - [Magnolia Office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31995414/list/magnolia-office) — 6 ideas - [Magnolia St.](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19219281/list/magnolia-st) — 7 ideas - [Jarvis Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30913268/list/jarvis-residence) — 3 ideas - [Rossi Master Bathroom Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30664305/list/rossi-master-bathroom-lighting) — 2 ideas - [Miller Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30186693/list/miller-backyard) — 18 ideas - [Gorman](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22997510/list/gorman) — 7 ideas - [Summer Landscape Plan](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22827678/list/summer-landscape-plan) — 18 ideas - [Quinlan Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19182135/list/quinlan-residence) — 8 ideas - [McTigue Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19218834/list/mctigue-residence) — 13 ideas - [Palmer Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15463370/list/palmer-residence) — 22 ideas [See all 17 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/luludesignsonline) ## Community Q&A **Q: what is paint color??** *(in Photo Questions)* please and thanks!! I love it A: Hi, I designed this house almost 10 years ago. I don't keep my files for that long. Good luck! **Q: How to attach** *(in Photo Questions)* How are these attached to the wall? A: Any good contractor can help you out!! Good luck! **Q: color of door and siding of outside** *(in Photo Questions)* please could you tell me the paint color of front door and the siding? thank you so much A: Hi, Thank you for your interest in Lulu Designs and for your question. I selected these colors specifically for this client and so the selections are completely dependent on the light and space. Plus, monitors and photography changes so I'm not sure it would look like this in your space wherever you are using it. Good luck! **Q: where can I order a door like this?** *(in Photo Questions)* I need a 32x80 door like this one and I can’t seem to find one. Can I order these online? A: Ganahl sells a door like this! Good luck! **Q: Confused About Feature** *(in Photo Questions)* What's the purpose of this feature if you don't list where we can buy items in this room? A: Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the items in the photo and where you can purchase them if they aren't custom pieces. Please note that this was designed 8 years ago so items might not be readily available at this time. **Q: I love the curtains.** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you know who the curtain fabric manufacturer is? Name of print? A: Hi, Thank you for your interest. It is a Kravet sample that is only sold To The Trade. I can get you a sample if you'd like. Please let me know.
