DeFrances & Associates is an award-winning interior design firm whose reputation over the past 18 years is built on delivering results that are classic in style and modern in context. We believe the most important question to ask when starting an interior design project is does the architectural backdrop support and enhance the interior furnishings? We believe the best interiors result from a marriage of these two design elements. If either one is undervalued, the whole design suffers. In all our design work, we seek to develop the often overlooked potential of a home whether through the use of properly-scaled furniture, seating arrangements that invite lingering conversation or creating character in a room through mill work detailing of walls or ceilings. Our team strength is a knowledge of proportion and scale, where and when to use highly-articulated design detailing that makes one person's home unique over another, and the ability to navigate clients through the myriad of selections and decisions required to achieve a successful outcome. Success defined in exceeding client expectations through design and service. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Floor Plans - Project Management - Custom Blinds & Shades - Kitchen Remodeling - Accessorization and Art Consultation - Cabinetry - Electrical Plan Review - Electrical Review - Fabric and Finish Selection - Furniture Floor Plans - Hardscape Material Finish and Selection - Interior Detailing - Millwork and Panel Detailing - Paint and Wall Covering Selection - Purchasing and Project Oversight - Window Treatment Design ### Areas Served - Jupiter - Palm City - Stuart - Vero Beach - Hobe Sound - Jensen Beach - Indian River Shores - Orchid - west palm ### Typical Job Cost $100,000 - 450,000 Project Costs are based on typical size and scope of projects ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | L K DeFrances & Associates | | Address | Vero Beach, Florida 32967, United States | | Phone | (772) 234-0078 | | Website | http://www.lkdefrancesandassociates.com | | License Number | FL 0000556 | | Followers on Houzz | 272 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — lkdefrancesandassociates.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [L K DeFrances & Associates](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/l-k-defrances-and-associates-pfvwus-pf~58766838) - **Website:** http://www.lkdefrancesandassociates.com - **Phone:** (772) 234-0078 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 1st Place- 2012 Design Award; ASID Fla North; Residence 5000 sq ft2nd Place 2012 Design Award, ASID, Fla North, Residence 5,000 sq ft2008 Southern Accents Magazine/ASID 1st Place Design Award:for a Living Room Professional Member ASID NCIDQ CertificationFlorida License \#0000556 - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2020–2021), for Design. **Affiliations** - [American Society of Interior Designers](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/american-society-of-interior-designers-pfvwus-pf~1510192642) - [National Kitchen & Bath Association](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-kitchen-and-bath-association-pfvwus-pf~1351084655) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 4 reviews** ### All 4 reviews **★★★★★ — terrynec, July 2014** > We worked with L K DeFrances and Associates at two different times after seeing her work in many model houses as we were searching for communities and homes in Vero Beach. We relied on Lisa for paint, wallpaper, lighting, furniture and accessories and we were not disappointed. She listened to our wish list, discussed our color and style preferences , gave us wonderful options within categories and delivered the casually elegant home that we dreamed of. About 6 years later we moved on to a larger house and again hired L K DeFrances to fit in our previous purchases and add furnishings for three plus rooms. This was done seamlessly and in a very timely fashion. And once again we couldn't have been more pleased with the results. We have used other decorators for many projects and they have not compared in creativity and professionalism . Lisa has a wonderful sense of color and proportion and she and her staff are a delight to work with. **★★★★★ — zjen, July 2014** > Lisa is a consummate design professional, integrating her technical and artistic prowess with her sensitivity to her clients and colleagues needs and wishes. She plans her projects using a finely honed process: first comes the client's requirements and dreams for their space, then comes the physical context of the geography, site, and spatial characteristics unique to each building. She is a 'design whisperer', enticing the client and the space to 'speak' to her as she weaves the story to link the people with the place through the magic of scale, proportion, texture, color, line, form, all while respecting the typical constraints construction brings (budget, schedule, function). And in the end, the fit is bespoke. All done with wit and grace. I highly recommend L.K. DeFrances and Associates for any project seeking a happy and successful place to live and work. **★★★★★ — Linda Lemmon, July 2014** > L K DeFrances did a terrific job for us! We moved into an empty 10 year old house and Lisa transformed it into a beautiful, comfortable space. She has a terrific sense of design and color with her choices of fabric, furniture, paint color, wall coverings, rugs and art work. Lisa is very easy to work with and she finished the job on time. I would recommend L K DeFrances to anyone. **★★★★★ — RCL Development, July 2014** > RCL Development has had the good fortune in engaging LK Defrances as an Interior Designer on numerous high-end projects as well as working with them on projects where they were employed directly by the client. Lisa Defrances, along with her staff, has always exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, creativity of design, thoroughness of presentations and excellent communication skills throughout the duration of these projects. ## Selected projects - [Courtyard Home on the Atlantic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/courtyard-home-on-the-atlantic-pj-vj~556228) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Interior renovation to a barrier island residence on the east coast of Florida.

Why then are you advertising on Houzz? A: @1sharong That's a fair question. We are an interior design firm. The photos posted on Houzz are intended to show our work to those shopping for interior design services and secondly to provide design inspiration for the DIY'er. In this particular photo, the cocktail belonged to our client so I have no idea where it came from--we just worked it in our design. The good news, Houzz now does offer product you can purchase through them. **Q: Love the wall mosaic tiles. Where are they from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Handypamela7@hotmail.com A: These are a custom blend from Oceanside. They are all placed by hand onto a mesh back so they have an irregular texture which keeps the feeling more casual than too formal in this bar. **Q: Love the bed! Where's it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Antique beds that were owned by our client! **Q: beautiful dining chairs** *(in Photo Questions)* Where are those fabulous dining chairs from? A: They are fabulous! They are from a company we found at Maison d'Objet in Paris several years ago. We liked the clean lines, add texture to the area and are sturdy for everyday use! **Q: What is the exterior house color please?** *(in Photo Questions)* Someone else asked question but no answer below. A: Sorry I don't know the answer, we didn't choose it. I imagine it's pretty white as in B Moore Atrium or Simply white are favorites of late --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
