I met Ty Larkins through a mutual friend and we talked about his work and some of the design concepts I envisioned for the space. It was very important for me to find someone I could collaborate with and build a level of trust to help create the home I wanted. After a few meetings, I knew Ty was the right person. He is not only creatively talented in his work and approach to design but I appreciated the open dialogue as he tested my own creative limits which ultimately forced me to step outside my comfort zone in terms of how I envisioned the apartment. You have to learn to truly trust in your designer and what makes working with Ty so special is his ability to reshape how you think about design while creating a space that is unique to you. After all, it’s your home and should be a reflection of your style and individuality. Ty did an amazing job and it was both educational and inspiring to see his creative talent at work! I love the home he helped create and cannot recommend him highly enough. It was truly a pleasure working with him and look forward to collaborating again on my next project. **Comment from TY LARKINS INTERIORS:** > Thank you so much David for giving me the opportunity to work with you on your home. The results from our collaboration on the design of your apartment far exceeded my normally high expectations! Your space is truly a reflection of your passion, personality and vision. I would like to think I only served as the filter and catalyst for your dreams to come to fruition. **★★★★★ — BEVOLO GAS & ELECTRIC LIGHTS, March 2016** > We have done many residential projects with Ty. We love to see his unique and interesting placement of our fixtures. He is a taste-maker with a great understanding of color. Ty's work always incorporates just the right amount of the unexpected. We enjoy doing business with you. -The Bevolo Team **★★★★★ — qmchen, Jan. 2016** > Ty Larkins has rescued two of my 25-year-old paintings in the foyer and dining room which I was about to give up into a new phenomenon. Even when the artist revisited her works after 25 years later, she was so marveled of what a beautiful composition Ty had created. By redesigning the whole new settings he gave these art works a new life which I can continue to appreciate for the years to come. > > He has the incredible ability to work with people. He knows who I am and what I want. Every trip to his showroom is like a kid goes to a candy store. Every piece of furniture/accessory is hand picked by his unique taste. And his remarkable talent will transform them into a beautiful space yet very comfortable to live in. **Comment from TY LARKINS INTERIORS:** > Thanks so much Rachel! You are such a pleasure to work with and I appreciate the opportunity to enhance the design of your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — sylviamelancon, Jan. 2016** > Ty Larkins is an amazing talent with impeccable taste. My husband and I invested a lot into renovating our 1930's house, but we were tapped out of ideas when it came to decor. Thanks to Ty's expertise, we now have a home that reflects our personal style and rivals homes featured in the most popular interior design publications. Not only did he design a beautiful space, he gave us a design that will hold up nicely with our two active 7-year-olds. We look forward to working with Ty on every room in the house! **★★★★★ — caillouetm, Aug. 2015** > I fell in love with Ty's work years ago when I saw him in a magazine! We hired him to help us with a very difficult space. He came up with a design that blew us away! Ty included us in the entire design process. He is extremely talented and is filled with knowledge about design and architecture. After finishing the first room, he transformed our dining room! He is now working with us on a major renovation, which we would be lost without his help. We cannot wait for it to be done so we can enjoy the rest of our home as much as the other two spaces that he completed for us! **★★★★★ — Ashley Pere, June 2015** > My husband and I worked with Ty on our formal living room of which he delivered EXACTLY what we had in mind. Ty listened to our ideas and implemented everything we wanted! Ty was a pleasure to work with and we have since hired him to complete our dining room, bedroom and office! **★★★★★ — Lance Bennett, May 2015** > Ty Larkins has done so much for us with his amazing architectural and design skills over the last several years. It is hard to describe every little wonderful detail he has helped us with, but he has assisted us on a total of 6 investment homes in Historic Spanish Town that were going to be demolished, as well as our personal home. He assisted us with many details of the kitchen and baths and paint colors on the six investment homes resulting in Lance and I receiving the 2013 Phoenix Preservation Award given by the Foundation For Historical Louisiana. Next, Ty Larkins, took our 76 year old personal home that was falling into the ground when we purchased it and turned it into our most amazing home ever. Inside and out, Ty’s talent is outstanding. Our only regrets are a few things he wanted us to do and we did not. We are so happy with Ty and his talent that we feel like we live in a palace every day. We cannot say enough about how happy we are and how talented Ty is. Ty was there holding our hand and walking us through a very hard time restoring and preserving these homes that mean so much to Baton Rouge’s oldest neighborhood downtown. **★★★★★ — Rande Leaman Interior Design, Jan. 2015** > I had long admired Ty Larkins' work when I had the pleasure of meeting him this past year at his Baton Rouge showroom. As a fellow Interior Designer and colleague, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was eager to assist with my design projects and offers a multitude of beautiful custom furnishings and unique antique pieces. His sense of color, design aesthetic and overall professionalism sets him apart in our field. His work is truly inspiring. > Rande Leaman > Rande Leaman Interior Design, Studio City, Ca. ## Selected projects - [MONASTIC MODERN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/monastic-modern-pj-vj~2641198) - Location: Port Allen, LA - Photos: 12 - Description: "Ty Larkins was specifically sought out by a young couple with two school-aged children about helping them create a very specific interior architectural style most closely resembling an approach exercised in newer high-end Belgium architect-designed residential buildings. The basic DNA of this "Belgium style” embraces spareness and natural light, judiciously excludes superfluous details, but retains the use of honest yet substantial building materials, some re-salvaged, seemingly to provide warm… - [CLEAN TRADITIONAL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clean-traditional-pj-vj~542531) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 25 - Description: Inspired by city houses, this detached Greek Revival Townhouse was designed and built in an established leafy neighborhood by Ty Larkins Interiors. Every effort was taken to make it convincingly "period" suggesting it had been built a century earlier. The traditional and formal interior architecture is juxtaposed against a young and modern decor, creating a beautiful and unexpected tension. - [UPDATED CLASSIC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-classic-pj-vj~543804) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 15 - Description: This traditional 1940's era Cape Cod style was picture perfect from the street when our clients, a young couple with two small kids, purchased it. Unfortunately, its perfection ended once you entered its dated interior and left much to be desired. Nevertheless, our clients moved forward with the idea that they would eventually paint a few walls and perhaps add a master bedroom suite. Instead, what ensued was a 14 month long gut renovation "down to the studs" of the entire home where every surfac… - [CLASSICISM REFRESHED](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classicism-refreshed-pj-vj~542288) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 18 - Description: Built in 1939 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Ty Larkins Interiors guided the complete renovation of this Colonial Revival home. The clients' extensive collection of fine European antiques is juxtaposed with clean-lined modern furnishings in an effort to freshen this old relic to 21st century comfort and sophistication. - [French Quarter Bachelor's Lair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-quarter-bachelor-s-lair-pj-vj~542406) - Location: New Orleans, LA - Photos: 20 - Description: This grand apartment is located in the heart of the New Orleans French Quarter in the Pontabla, the oldest apartment building in the United States. The client, a well traveled young lawyer and self described traditionalist, initially asked us to decorate his apartment with antiques and pieces with history. Admittedly, we could have easily complied with our client's request. The apartment's grand architecture and historic feel was certainly suitable to be decorated in a traditional sort of cliche… - [THE ITALIAN JOB](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-italian-job-pj-vj~1430275) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 4 - Description: This grand 1930's home, which originally served as the Italian Country club, had been converted into a private home many years prior to our client's purchasing it. The homeowners, a young jet setting couple with young kids, asked us to create a home featuring both sophisticated public spaces suitable for grand entertaining and durable livable spaces for the private areas of the home which would be used primarily by the family where the kids activities would take place, pets could roam freely and… - [MODERN COUNTRY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-country-pj-vj~2317139) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 2 - [MODERNIZED HISTORIC LANDMARK](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modernized-historic-landmark-pj-vj~543607) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 19 - Description: Built at the turn of the century, this Queen Anne Victorian had great bones and a lot of potential but was otherwise dark, drab and outdated when the firm was approached by the clients about transforming it. Ty Larkins Interiors was directed to create an urban "Upper East Side" aesthetic but with a more modern sensibility. The walls and ceilings were covered in stark white paint coupled with dark espresso stained floors to better show off the owners' extensive modern art collection. Elegant mode… - [RHAPSODY IN BLUE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rhapsody-in-blue-pj-vj~1159528) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This late 80's southern vernacular style home was starting to show its age when the homeowners approached Ty Larkins Interiors about updating the interior architecture and decor of the main living spaces and bathrooms throughout. The home's original rustic unfinished wood beamed surfaces and exposed bare brick were painted and whitewashed white transforming it from dark and gloomy to light, airy and ethereal! Decor wise, the clients requested that differing shades of blue be employed throughout… - [Sophisticated Serenity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sophisticated-serenity-pj-vj~542480) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Designed in close collaboration with the clients, this bright and airy 1930s French Regency home is arguably one of the firm's most refined projects. Walls, trim and floors were painted in varying shades of white to great effect thereby serving as a blank canvas for clean-lined comfortable furnishings, continental antiques and custom designed rugs. The results are ethereal and soothing, creating a calming effect of absolute serenity. - [Ty Larkins Interiors Showroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ty-larkins-interiors-showroom-pj-vj~1006701) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The building which serves as the design showroom and retail home furnishings shop for Ty Larkins Interiors, was originally an Arts and Crafts home built in 1918. Decades later, it had been rezoned as a commercial space and was being used as an insurance agency but oddly, still retained the floor plan of a three bedroom, two bath residence when it was purchased for the firm's designer studio. Because the structure was in grave disrepair and was not suitable for the intended use as a designer show… - [Breaux Bridge Cosmopolitan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/breaux-bridge-cosmopolitan-pj-vj~1126594) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: This newly constructed home's interior architecture and decor was guided by senior designer Michelle Camalo from conception to completion. This young family requested a light and sophisticated scheme which was accomplished through the use of color and texture. Durable fabrics and finishes were also incorporated into the design to create a comfortable, yet livable space. - [Lafayette Townhouse Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lafayette-townhouse-project-pj-vj~1126549) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This dated early 90’s townhouse was totally redesigned for a newly married couple in Lafayette, LA. Formerly the husband's bachelor pad, senior designer Michelle Camalo was tasked with completely overhauling the kitchen and bathrooms. In addition, the clients asked her to edit and merge their individual existing pieces while incorporating new furniture and lighting fixtures into one cohesive design. The resulting lofty urban aesthetic was accomplished through the mix of vintage and modern pieces… - [HAYS TOWN MAKEOVER](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hays-town-makeover-pj-vj~543522) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: The architecture of this home, inspired by the legendary Louisiana architect, A. Hays Town, was originally dark and rustic. Brick floors, wood beamed ceilings, and furnishings upholstered in Chintz were no longer in keeping with the clients' evolved taste. The couple, who had resided in the residence some 20 years before approaching Ty Larkins Interiors, asked the firm to come up with a solution to modernize the home. A 12-month renovation ensued, whereby existing brick floors were painted white… - [Elegant Pied-a-terre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-pied-a-terre-pj-vj~997868) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Our client, a very successful young lobbyist, asked us to design this house to serve as both her office/headquarters for her staff to work in during business hours and as a sophisticated space she could entertain her clients in while doing business in the State's Capitol. Because this space was not the client's primary residence, the home's design needed to look like a sophisticated private home while functioning like a productive workplace. - [Her's Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/her-s-master-suite-pj-vj~997860) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The client, an old college classmate of Ty's, asked him to do a complete overall and redesign of her late 80's master bedroom suite which had become aesthetically and functionally dated. Because the master bedroom lacked any significant architectural details, a paneled wall lacquered in blue paint was devised to create a focal point and to serve as the space's headboard wall. A custom designed white painted four poster bed was juxtaposed with 50's style chests in dark walnut and flanked by a pai… - [Designer Show House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/designer-show-house-pj-vj~543795) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: In an effort to raise money for charitable causes, Ty Larkins Interiors has participated in several Designer Showhouses over the years. The firm's goal is to create spaces of striking design and fantasy perhaps too bold and ambitious to offer to real life clients. Showhouses allow designers to tread into new design territory, and because there is no client involved, unlimited freedom becomes the greatest tool. - [LOFTY AMBITIONS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lofty-ambitions-pj-vj~543500) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Situated in a new building located in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, this apartment's design embraces its lofty urban aesthetic where comfortable clean-lined furnishings deliberately play second fiddle to the owners' extensive collection of modern artwork.
