They took my ideas, helped me refine them, and created a kitchen that we absolutley LOVE. Every detail was thoughtfully considered (serveral times, lol) and they were patient and helpful throughout the entire process. They made my DREAM kitchen come true!!! **★★★★★ — HU-900649696, Aug. 2026** > I was in the process of building my first custom build house and was feeling extremely overwhelmed! I started searching designers and came across Ourso Design. I didn’t want to spend an outrageous amount but I needed help to pick out tiles, backsplash, and paint colors for my kitchen and master bathroom. I wanted to make sure I got help beforehand, so I didn’t hate what I did myself after. I met Kat with Ourso and the rest was history! She made everything seamless, easy, and stress free! Everyone loves both rooms when they see them! I love them as well, so if you’re in the same boat as me - CALL OURSO and ask for KAT! You won’t regret it!! **★★★★★ — E. Hurst, Nov. 2025** > Outstanding experience from start to finish! From exceptional design ideas and creative concepts to help with solving even the smallest detail decisions, Ourso Designs went above and beyond in making our kitchen renovation come to life. **★★★★★ — Jordan R, Oct. 2024** > Richard and his team are first class and have a wealth of knowledge about home renovation and re-designing an existing layout. They were able to help reconfigure my older ranch style house built in 1969 with basic layout into a truly custom home design. Ourso Designs was both reliable and affordable! I definitely recommend to anyone taking on a kitchen/bath or whole house remodel! **★★★★★ — Terry Hebert, Feb. 2019** > Ourso Design has designed two kitchen remodels for us and we have been extremely happy with both designs. Richard provided us with floor plans we had never considered, but ultimately worked the best for us. Richard and his entire staff were very professional and helpful in all aspects of the projects. We would highly recommend Ourso Design. **★★★★ — Valerie Schluter, Dec. 2018** > Ourso design was very professional. Logan advised me throughout the bathroom remodel with great fresh ideas. I would definitely recommend Ourso design and Logan for your remodel projects. **★★★★★ — Lisa Adamek, April 2018** > I worked with Ourso Designs to remodel my kitchen and design a wine cellar. Their team is outstanding. They listen carefully to your needs & wishes, are creative in their approach, work well with all suppliers to source the perfect materials and stay involved in the project to ensure complete satisfaction and execution of the vision. **★★★★★ — Sandy Brown, July 2017** > We hired Richard to draw up some designs for our kitchen renovation. Richard listened carefully to what we wanted and needed, but made some great suggestions that we had not considered either. And that is why we hired someone with his expertise! He came out twice to view our current kitchen design / layout, and took very precise measurements. We found Richard very easy to work with, and we appreciated that he listened to our needs, and did not try to make us do things that we neither wanted or needed. **★★★★★ — richard miller, June 2017** > Richard has helped us with several kitchen and bath remodels. His work is always thorough and on time - he is a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — tfirmin, June 2017** > We hired Ourso designs for a complete renovation of our kitchen and master bathroom. His work was AMAZING!!! We were beyond pleased with our renovation thanks to his hard work! He is such a pleasure to work with and such a true professional! We took out walls..demolished closets...etc! The amount of storage and rooms he turned in from small choppy rooms and a 1980's bathroom is simply a reno miracle! We would use Ourso designs again and have recommend him already time and time again!!!!!!! **★★★★★ — Pamela Monroe, June 2017** > We used Ourso Designs for a major project in Spring 2015. Probably 40% of the total sqft of our home was gutted and remodeled, including kitchen, dining, and family room. It was a big job and required some creativity both to envision the remodel and work out the engineering of it as load bearing walls were removed, ceiling heights were blended, etc. I also had been remodeling the space in my head for a very long time, so I had a good idea of what I wanted but definitely needed help to work it all out on paper. We had an excellent experience with Ourso Designs - they proposed ideas, were flexible in making changes, and worked very quickly to come up with the final design. In our case we had a contractor we'd used several times before and did not need on-site supervision but Ourso would have provided this. They did check in on the job and answered questions throughout the process. What I liked best was that they did not impose their ideas on us, rather listened carefully and then used their experience and creativity to arrive at a great design. All this was accomplished at a highly competitive and fair price. I definitely would recommend them. **★★★★ — Monique Ravey, June 2017** > Richard Ourso did a wonderful job transforming our wishes and a flooded home into a design much better than we had envisioned. With his help, we turned lemons into lemonade!! I highly recommend his services. ## Selected projects - [Rustic Modern Hearth](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-modern-hearth-pj-vj~7732550) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: This expansive kitchen, pantry, and laundry combination is the ultimate example of functional design fused with rustic charm.

Originally, their master bath was not the most efficient. There was a large linen cabinet that took up a lot of valuable space. The counter space was minimal, and there was a small tub with an oversized deck. Also, the shower was very small and all of the materials and finishes were dark. Moving forward with our design, we decided to remove the large deck around the tub and replace… - [Classic on Classique](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-on-classique-pj-vj~7638258) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 14 - Description: The space centers around a magnificent, richly textured white oak kitchen island. This warm, natural wood provides a grounding counterpoint to the crisp, bright white perimeter cabinetry, which features a prominent custom hood and a classic apron sink.

The redesign centers around the sage-green island, custom wood cabinetry, and a statement range hood that brings character without overpowering the room. Slate floors anchor the space with rich texture, while the marble-look backsplash and oversized black pendants add a clean, contemporary touch. Natural light pours in through the wall of windows connecting the kitchen to t… - [Colorful Kitchen Addition in Bocage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-kitchen-addition-in-bocage-pj-vj~6290804) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 22 - Description: This gorgeous Bocage home was originally too compartmentalized for entertaining guests. The kitchen itself and the opening between the kitchen and family area were both small, making the space feel closed in and cut off from the rest of the house. Our goal was to open the space as much as possible and give the clients everything they needed to entertain. Early in the design process, we decided it was necessary to add square footage to give these clients their dream kitchen. Adding this space all… - [The Culinary Corner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-culinary-corner-pj-vj~7733114) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: This bright, airy transitional kitchen blends timeless style with modern functionality.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into a stylish home bar area, designed for effortless entertaining. With dedicated storage, beautiful glass-… - [Timeless Bocage Bathroom Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-bocage-bathroom-addition-pj-vj~6323135) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 14 - Description: These clients found their forever home but now that they are getting older, they needed some help transforming their space into one that is mindful of aging in place practices. Originally, the master suite was located upstairs, so we decided to bring it downstairs closer to their day to day activities. We were able to take the existing guest room, turn that into the master bedroom and added on the master bathroom and closets. We added a beautiful curbless shower and a separate decked tub which t… - [Bocage Bath Beauty](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bocage-bath-beauty-pj-vj~5898890) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 12 - Description: Located in a beautiful home in Bocage, this exquisite master bathroom was in need of rejuvenation. Before the renovation, this space was divided and disconnected. The bathroom, coming off a common vestibule area, was separated. His and her vanities, the bathtub, and the shower were located in two different rooms. We joined the two rooms into one luxurious bathroom for both clients to enjoy. The shower provides not only an ordinary shower head, but a handheld sprayer, a rain head, and body spraye… - [Just Around The Riverbend](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/just-around-the-riverbend-pj-vj~6679758) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 27 - Description: These clients came to us for help with remodeling their kitchen which was not big enough to accommodate a decent size island. The adjacent dining room was very large so we moved the wall separating the kitchen and the dining back by two feet, giving us the extra room we needed for a nice size island in the kitchen while still leaving plenty of dining space. We expanded the window over the kitchen sink to bring in more daylight. We removed the wall between the kitchen and living and framed the op… - [Azure Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/azure-oasis-pj-vj~7732548) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This master bathroom, designed by Ourso Designs, is a breathtaking blend of vibrant color, luxurious texture, and intelligent space planning.

This "wet room" approach not only creates a clean, modern aesthetic but als… - [Country Club Home Set To Entertain](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-club-home-set-to-entertain-pj-vj~6922984) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 40 - Description: This beautiful home built in the 1980s/1990s had the traditional segmented home with the kitchen separated away from the living room. Due to the load of the existing loadbearing wall, structural beams were added for support. These beams are not usually the prettiest, so we decided to wrap these with engineered beams. All of the appliances were upgraded to modern day standards to accommodate their new, functional kitchen. The cooking surface was moved into a larger island with more prep space aro… - [Louisiana Life on the River](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/louisiana-life-on-the-river-pj-vj~370373) - Location: New Roads, LA - Photos: 35 - Description: This beautiful home is situated on the waters of the False River located in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. The homeowner's main goal was to update the design, layout, finishes and fixtures and to bring the view and feel of the river indoors. We re-worked the floorplan to create a space that truly reflect the life of living on the water. - [Traditional Kitchen Renovation in Woodgate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-renovation-in-woodgate-pj-vj~6649275) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 22 - Description: This client’s house had great bones to work with, but also had a few things that made their kitchen less functional. Their main issue with the space was that their cooktop was located on the island, and since the island wasn’t very big, it limited the amount of usable counterspace. Also, they had a microwave oven stack that was housed in a massive brick enclosure that also took up a lot of valuable space. In our design, we decided to replace the cooktop and oven with a gas range and relocated it… - [Grand Master Bath Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-master-bath-oasis-pj-vj~6387988) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 12 - Description: These clients came to us with a pretty clear idea of what they wanted their master bathroom to look like. At the top of their wishlist was separate his and her vanities with plenty of cabinet storage and a large walk-in shower. We decided to take up some of an adjacent guest bedroom to expand the bathroom and the remainder of that bedroom was used for a new closet. Adding this extra space gave us the room needed to check all the items off their wishlist. We added more windows that look out to th… - [Highland Southern Charm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-southern-charm-pj-vj~6348983) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 19 - Description: This client came to us with a kitchen that wasn’t the most functional. The cooktop and the sink were across a small island from each other and a double stack oven took up much needed counter space. Our goal was to create an overall more functional layout of the kitchen and maximize the counter space. We increased the size of the island and decided to add a new wall of cabinets. To make room for these cabinets, we had to shift the pantry door over slightly. We reworked the pantry as well, adding… - [Contemporary Modern Townhouse With A Touch of Louisiana Flair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-modern-townhouse-with-a-touch-of-louisiana-flair-pj-vj~5497979) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 9 - Description: Almost two years ago, a client contacted us about remodeling a home near LSU's campus. They wanted to turn the home into a tailgater's paradise, the perfect spot for friends and family to gather each Saturday ahead of kickoff. We teamed up with Frank McArdle at Big River Construction to make this client's tailgate dreams a reality. The renovation involved a huge facelift for the ground floor, starting with the kitchen. A huge center island was added, giving the clients the perfect place to lay o… - [Fashionable and Efficient Home Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fashionable-and-efficient-home-office-pj-vj~6548203) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: This client was in need of her own efficient home office. Her husband works from home, and she has plans to retire and continue to work from home as well. She already had an office but it lacked the storage that she needed. She came to us with an inspiration photo that we were able to recreate for her. She wanted space for display as well as closed storage and filing drawers. We also included 2 spaces for printers with sliding drawers for easy access. The client also wanted the center to house a… - [Relaxing, Spa-Like Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/relaxing-spa-like-renovation-pj-vj~3140266) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 15 - Description: We worked with our clients to create the perfect getaway, somewhere they could go to relax, inside their own home. The culmination of their imagination and our creativity is this dreamy, spa-like bathroom. Venetian plaster walls set the stage. From there, white countertops, white floating cabinets, and a white freestanding tub enhance the rooms refined, Grecian-bath feel. The floating shelves and sliding barn door add just a touch of warmth and natural energy. And a zero-drop shower makes it eas… - [Transitional At Its Best in Mid-City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-at-its-best-in-mid-city-pj-vj~5456016) - Location: Baton Rouge, LA - Photos: 7 - Description: Sleek, white cabinets meet vibrant pops of color and a butcher block counter tops. The blue paint color provides a contrast with the wood on both the floor and the island counter top. Together the clean, white cabinets and the large, gold pendant lights highlight the island as the focal point of the kitchen. This space combines elements of bohemian and traditional design to present transitional at its best!
