Emily LaMarque Design Studio

Coastal Chic Perfection — Thank You, Emily! Working with Emily was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for our home. She brought our dream of a coastal, chic, and effortlessly bright space to life with such ease, creativity, and care. From our very first meeting, Emily had an incredible ability to understand our style and elevate it into something truly special. She masterfully blended soft neutrals, natural textures, and thoughtful pops of color, creating a home that feels both fresh and timeless. What we love most is that every room feels light, airy, and incredibly livable—it’s stylish without ever feeling staged or overly done. It’s the kind of space that instantly makes you exhale and feel at home. Emily was organized, communicative, and truly attentive to both the big picture and the smallest details. She respected our budget, kept the project moving smoothly, and made the entire experience fun and exciting.

We have worked with Emily on a few projects and it has been a wonderful experience. She is a very motivated and highly dedicated person. She has a great vision and her attention to detail is admirable. To accomplish a great design communication is key and this is one of the best parts of working with her. She is never beyond reach, and her understanding of the construction site makes everything easier. I look forward to working with her in many more projects.

Emily is an excellent design partner and I would work with her again! Mine was a long distance project – east coast owner of west coast house, not an easy task. Emily made it work with ease and pragmatism, streamlining what could have been cumbersome and time consuming. She is calm, patient, listens, doesn’t judge and really helped me make good decisions about the design, colors, where to spend the money and where not to. Emily was a gift to a complicated project!

Emily LaMarque is a truly talented and professional designer in every way. I have worked with her for over 15 years and done many renovation projects with her. Every client has been pleased with her designs and ability to oversee a construction project from conception to completion. She works with responsible contractors who do exceptional work. I also can say that she is a wonderful person to work with and I can’t recommend her more highly. I am a retired designer and I refer all of my work to her. I know quality when I see it and she produces excellent results. I also know her on a personal level and she is a wonderful person. She is truly kind and caring in other aspects of her life. All the best, David Goldberg, Pasadena California.

I have worked on a couple complete home renovation projects as the general contractor with Emily LaMarque and her skills and design talents are fist tier. Having worked with several other designers in the past I can tell you that she is the best at the services she provides to her clients. The material selections are amazing and she has a true gift in helping clients accomplish taking a vision into a finished product. All of the design components and finish details were selected before the project started which facilitates a streamlined and cost efficient build, and Emily and her team always made themselves available during the build process to clarify any details or questions my team had during the project duration. When I meet new clients looking for a designer I always recommend they reach out to Emily to consider her for their project. I have full confidence that you will be thrilled with the finished product if you work with Emily and her team.

Emily is thorough creative hardworking and helpful in every step her work. She’s sweet and kind but will also go to bat for you with contractors and manufacturers. She has a great team of specialists and loves to problem solve in a timely way. The best

Emily did great work at my house. From start to finish, she was great to work with and my home looks awesome. She was professional and hands on during the project. I would recommend anyone looking for a designer to hire Emily.

We have worked with Emily Lamarque Design Studio on 5 projects over the last 8 years. We have been extremely pleased with the outcome of each of the 5 projects. The first step in the design process was meeting with Emily. In that first meeting Emily asks lots of questions to determine what our wants and needs are. She makes the design process very easy and time efficient. She puts together a design board with her vision based on our feedback and then we tell her what we like and don't like and then she keeps narrowing down the design process until it's exactly what we want. She is a very creative and talented designer. All 5 projects have been unique and she truly brought the design boards to life.

Emily LaMarque is an incredible talent. A super strong asset to any project. She is highly skilled in all aspects of design and has a full understanding of construction. We have done several projects together and I find her to have amazing sensibilities when it comes to both the function and the esthetic. (Emily’s sense of color and light are a true gift) Just as critical she understands your needs, while providing prompt communication and the necessary coordination between trades to finish. The best part of The Emily LaMarque Design firm is getting to work with Emily. High Energy, Competent, punctual and a genuinely happy spirit to be around. Her projects reflect this energy: sophisticated, elegant and dynamic; while also fully reflective of the occupant. She makes building a new space what it should be.. Fun. Emily is one of the most creatively talented and sincere people you will ever meet, I highly recommend her.

We hired Emily LaMarque Design Studio to do the interior design of our newly renovated home. We started with nothing (not even a couch to sit on!) and now we have a beautiful home for our family of 4 that we find aesthetically pleasing and that also fits our family's lifestyle. I have already recommended ELDS to several friends and colleagues for their own design projects. When people visit our home their first question is "did you do all of this yourself?" to which I am tempted to reply "yes" but honesty won't allow it. Working with Emily was a pleasure. She was very flexible in terms of scheduling in-person visits and check-ins. She was also readily available by phone and email. The project was delivered on-time and at the expected budget. For the few instances where a particular material was not available or cost-prohibitive I was quickly notified and alternatives were offered. She is a true professional. I would describe my style as Palm Beach modern maximalist and my husband has a mid-century modern aesthetic. Emily was able to blend our tastes to produce an effect that we both find enjoyable. She has a huge breadth of resources available from which to draw not only for design ideas but also to make those ideas reality. In addition to helping us find furniture, she designed and had manufactured built-in furniture for our breakfast nook and a completely custom office. Her drapery production team did top-notch work and the wallpaper hanger was excellent. In summary, I can't recommend Emily LaMarque Design Studio enough. I will definitely be using the service again!

Emily LaMarque is completely fantastic to work with. She helped us in many areas ranging from exterior design to interior design and furniture selection in our massive house remodel. We essentially rebuilt our home from scratch which felt like a very daunting task, for me. Emily was there with us from start to finish. Emily came to meetings we had with our contractor and vendors and often felt like an advocate, for me, when I was unsure about the many choices that had to be made in our home construction. Emily really paid attention to our style choices and really listened to what it was we wanted to accomplish. She surpassed all of our expectations. She is diplomatic, knowledgeable in her choice of vendors, extremely professional and has a beautiful eye for design. My husband and I are in love with our new home and all of the personal touches Emily helped make possible. We couldn't have done it without her and I will forever be grateful for her help.

We used Emily as our designer for a smallish project (powder room redesign). She drew up the plans so we didn't need an architect, which was great, because we already kind of knew how we wanted things to be laid out. She was very intuitive, and she was good at picking up on our style preferences. She was able to create a plan and help us pick materials and finishes that really complemented our old house but still looked up to date.
