My vision is to take your vision, who you are, what you love, and who you are becoming, and channel that into an environment that is welcoming, inspiring, and restorative. I seek clients who share my quest for what is real, true, and genuine. I am elated to share the magic my team has created — just for you. My purpose is fulfilled when I see the positive impact our work makes in our clients’ lives. In younger years I traveled to France and Italy, where I steeped myself in the worlds of art, food, and wine. I fell in love with the ways that design and culture intersect; how we weave the threads of our personal lives and our culture into a rich tapestry that makes up our environment. My first career was in restaurant management; during that time my appreciation for the connection between setting, food, and community deepened. These powerful experiences formed the foundation of my core values as an interior designer: creating welcoming havens of beauty, comfort and grace that call us to perform the rituals of home and community — connecting with others, cooking together, dining together, playing, and relaxing. I am wild about transformation. My greatest joy is when I create an environment that is even better than what the client had imagined for themselves. I design in every style: Modern, Contemporary, Traditional, Spanish, Mediterranean, Craftsman, and more. I bring a warm, classic, and timeless approach to the aesthetic style that matches your heart, your community, and your space. I started LMB Interiors in 2002 when I was pregnant with my first child. The one-woman firm that began in my dining room has grown to include a team of talented, dynamic, soulful designers who share my values of authenticity, warmth, and a livable approach to interior design; now located in an elegant urban-chic office in the historic White Building in downtown Oakland. As a group, we complement one another’s contributions to the whole with a deep appreciation for our individuality, while inspiring each other to thrive in a culture of collaboration and graciousness. We conceive beautiful environments where love, family, and community flourish. ### Services Provided - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Kids Bedroom Design - Custom Cabinets - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Lighting Design - Custom Built-ins - Floor Plans - Playroom Design - Custom Furniture - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Nursery Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - Custom Home Bars - House Plans - Universal Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Walk-in Closets - Sunroom Design & Construction - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Rugs - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Sustainable Design - Wine Cellar Design - Custom Shelving - Custom Pantries - Downsizing - Holiday Decorating - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Kitchen Remodeling - Remodeling ### Areas Served - San Francisco - Oakland - Berkeley - Lafayette - Orinda - Moraga - Mill Valley - Hillsborough - Piedmont - Crocker Highlands ### Typical Job Cost $20,000 - 1,250,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | LMB Interiors | | Address | 339 15th Street, Suite 301, Oakland, California 94612, United States | | Phone | (510) 531-8438 | | Website | http://lmbinteriors.com | | Followers on Houzz | 882 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://business.facebook.com/lmbinteriors?business\_id=860581320626498 - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/lmb-interiors/ - Blog — https://www.lmbinteriors.com/blog/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [LMB Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lmb-interiors-pfvwus-pf~939651863) - **Website:** http://lmbinteriors.com - **Phone:** (510) 531-8438 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 8 awards (2013–2025), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 32 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Brian, Dec. 2018** > I love thinking about home design, so I naturally thought I could furnish our new home on my own. I spent over a year mulling over the way I wanted our home to look and feel like (with little progress), and in that year I always found myself returning to LMB’s website for inspiration. What drew me in was not only the beauty of her designs, but the warmth. There are so many layers - she can make a room look classy and edgy, yet feel cozy and warm at the same time. I didn’t want comfort to be sacrificed for style. I want my home to be both eye-catching and inviting. Laura manages both better than any designer I’ve come across. She is able to weave different styles and different looks throughout the room in a way that somehow all fits together and captures your attention at the same time. I had high expectations when we finally hired her, and she definitely met them. Yes, hiring a designer will cost money, but as they say, “Buy nice or buy twice.” Coming home to a beautifully furnished home is an experience that we will get to enjoy and share with our family many times over. Hiring LMB was well worth it. **Comment from LMB Interiors:** > Thank you, Brian! Your words touched my heart. Your assessment of the experience, how it serves you and your family, is exactly the reason why we do what we do. > > Working with clients like you who are willing to trust the process and who are also clear about how they want the space to feel is a winning combination as well. **★★★★★ — Rene T., Nov. 2018** > Joey and Laura of LMB Interiors have been fantastic to work with from start to finish on our kitchen remodel. They went above and beyond to help get our project off the ground. Joey and Laura listened closely to our initial ideas and inspirations, and then came up with an innovative design that delivered everything we wanted (but could not have come up with ourselves). They worked well with our contractor, kept tabs on the progress, and were always available to answer questions or visit our home. On top of that, Joey and Laura made the project fun and were a pleasure to work with! **Comment from LMB Interiors:** > Rene, what a lovely review. Joey and I both thank you! You have been a pleasure with as well! We are thrilled with the results of this project, and happy to be continuing to work with you! **★★★★★ — Catherine Baldi, Jan. 2017** > Laura and her team of designers have the gift of transforming a house into a home that connects the homeowner's vision with beautiful, modern and classic textures, fixtures and furnishings. Laura often says that she helps her clients come home to themselves. I love the value she places not just on the parts of the project, but also the transformation the client goes through when they create a home to nurture family, friends and community. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone who wants to tap into a larger vision of beauty and transformation and for anyone who wants a design and furnishings that are locally sourced and provide the longest possible value. Salud! **★★★★★ — Stonewood Kitchen and Bath, Jan. 2017** > We are a kitchen and bath showroom that works closely with many designers, architects, and contractors on renovation projects. We often work closely with Laura Martin Bovard and team on projects and everyone that works there is extremely organized, detailed oriented, and have beautiful design ideas. LMB Interiors create spaces that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and unique to each client. We always enjoy working with Laura and her team. If you are looking for an interior designer that is going to listen to you and give you a space that you absolutely love, we would highly recommend working with LMB Interiors. **★★★★★ — Interior Archaeology, Dec. 2016** > As a principal of an interior design firm myself, I can honestly say the the work that Laura and her firm do is top notch. I have long admired Laura's design sensibility as well as the quality of her work. She approaches every project with careful consideration and the spaces that she creates are superbly smart, functional and stunning. Laura knows her stuff and is a leader in the design community as well as the greater community. You are in good hands if you're lucky enough to find yourself in hers. **★★★★★ — Eric Rorer, Dec. 2016** > As an architectural photographer, I've had the honor to work closely with Laura and her awesome staff, shooting many of their projects. What always comes across most clearly to me during these shoots is that design is much more than work, much more than business for Laura and her team. It's passion, it's art, it's very human and profound. She cares very deeply for her clients, for all the people who work for her, and for creating homes that are not only beautiful, but warm and welcoming. I can't recommend her highly enough. **★★★★★ — Mark Jenkins, Dec. 2016** > We had a great experience with Laura and Joey on our living room project. They took the time to get to know us, our aesthetic and tailored the look and feel to meet what was important to us. The end result was a sophisticated space that matched us perfectly. **★★★★★ — nklotsche, Sept. 2016** > We had an amazing experience with Laura, Joey and the LMBI team. Our project scope started with designing our kitchen and three bathrooms -- but the impact of LMBI extended far beyond just those rooms. Laura and her team helped to channel our ideas into a cohesive, beautiful house that far exceeded our imaginations. This team has incredible experience -- they know what will look good, and they share opinions and options that are in the best interest of the final outcome. They listened closely and got to know us; and as a result, were the major force behind designing a home that is authentic and completely us. LMBI exudes class, creativity, style, and impeccable taste drawn from their years of design and life experience. Equally important, Laura and her team are down to earth, approachable, and fun! **Comment from LMB Interiors:** > Natalie, Thank you! It's been beyond wonderful serving you and your family. Such a fantastic project with warm, kind, realistic clients is a dream come true for any designer and we feel so lucky you chose to partner with us. **★★★★★ — lauragrigsbysf, June 2016** > Laura Martin Bovard has a capable, down to earth and personable manner as well as terrific interior design experience. She puts everyone at ease. She recognizes the contributions everyone makes to a project while giving knowledgeable opinions and incorporating the input of others (clients, vendors, consultants). She has a can do attitude and a sense of humor. She relates easily to her clients, encourages them and looks out for their best interest. In working with LMB and her clients, I've seen this result in beautiful well designed homes that suit each family. **★★★★★ — SLATE Art Consulting & SLATE Contemporary Gallery, April 2016** > I have had the honor of working with LMB interiors on several proposals, and placed art in a home that she designed last year. She has wonderful taste, great attention to detail, a powerful and positive team, and is a joy to work with. **Comment from LMB Interiors:** > Thank you Danielle! I just voted for you for Oakland Magazine's Best of the Bay because you deserve to be acknowledged for your fabulousness. **★★★★★ — Ragna Larusdottir, April 2016** > From the first time I met Laura I was impressed by her authenticity and honesty and of course her intense love for her job. She is easy to talk to, easy to be blunt with, accommodating and her visuals will enhance by far what you are able to imagine for you home. I´m so grateful to have found her and have the perfect home. > > Thank you Laura and team! > > Ragna **Comment from LMB Interiors:** > Ragna you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for seeing in me what I love about you! Working on your project is a walk in the park. So enjoyable and easy and who doesn't love a classic mid century project? **★★★★★ — hmarchesotti, April 2016** > Laura is always present for her clients and a great listener. She works hard to make the home reflect the personality of the inhabitants' sense of style rather than just focusing on what she likes. Many happy clients have used her. I will continue to recommend her. ## Selected projects - [Super Eichler Reimagined](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/super-eichler-reimagined-pj-vj~7575287) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Family-Friendly Craftsman in Berkeley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-friendly-craftsman-in-berkeley-pj-vj~7583530) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 10 - [Globally-Inspired Rockridge Tudor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/globally-inspired-rockridge-tudor-pj-vj~7583548) - Location: Oakland, CA - Photos: 16 - [Artful Oakland Bayview Redesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artful-oakland-bayview-redesign-pj-vj~7584504) - Location: Oakland, CA - Photos: 10 - [Tasteful and Timeless Piedmont Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tasteful-and-timeless-piedmont-family-home-pj-vj~6883038) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 23 - [Luxury and Grace in Mill Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-and-grace-in-mill-valley-pj-vj~6929700) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 28 - Description: Referred to this whole-house project by the architect Debbi Peterson in the very beginning stages, LMB Interiors created the interior design for a just-purchased 5-bedroom 4-bath home in Marin County that had been remodeled many times over the previous decades.

(Assuming we are talking about kids young enough that we are still in charge of the design.) When we put them to bed, when they wake up, when they sit down to play, our goal as parents is for them to feel safe, loved, focused on; environments that support our hope to nurture and grow good humans.
