LK Design NC

Having moved here from out of state, one of the things we first discovered about our new condo was that street noise would not be our friend. Not knowing where to start, we reached out to our realtor and she referred us to LK Design to consider sound dampening drapes. We met Laura and immediately felt comfortable and confident in her style, professionalism, and work ethic. Although we ultimately decided against the full drape project, we walked away very impressed with Laura’s thoroughness, communication, and commitment to creating a satisfied customer. We did a smaller window project and some general consultation with her, but best of all, we now know who to call for any interior design projects. We highly recommend her.

Laura helped us as we renovated the kitchen, mud and laundry rooms and added a master bedroom and bathroom to our 1942 Carrboro mill house. She respected the original esthetic of the house, while bringing in modern elements that really made the space. She was responsive, provided great ideas, and was flexible when we wanted to go in a different direction. She met me all over the triangle to choose granite, cabinets, fixtures and tile. I really enjoyed working with her and would hire her again.

It was a pleasure to work with Laura of LK Design. She helped select window treatments throughout our home. She presented great creative ideas but was also ready to discuss alternative options. Laura was very pleasant to work with and understanding and patient. She is a real perfectionist and it is definitely apparent in the beautiful final product. I highly recommend her services.

Our family recently relocated to NC from MO during, and Laura and her team helped us transform our house into a home. Unlike most designers, Laura listened to us and was able to assemble a hodge podge of goals and wishes into a cohesive plan. Most importantly, LK Design NC gave us choices at multiple budget levels so that we felt empowered making decisions about how to spend our hard earned dollars. I am truly thrilled with the final results, and everything came in under budget!

We worked with Laura in 2019 to help us get out of a rut and introduce some new design thinking to our new home in Cary. Laura came, listened carefully, measured, scratched her head, sucked the end of her pencil pulled things up on her iPad, then a few days later came back to us with three broad concepts for how we could configure our space and introduce a little more excitement and design. We loved them all but with some diligent work and budgeting landed on a final concept which we then executed upon ourselves. Laura met with us periodically through the process with creative suggestions and guidance. We're thrilled with our end result; it's a little outside of our original comfort zone... which is exactly what we wanted! We have one more important thing to say about Laura... she's sensible and 'spends' your money like it was her own. It's pretty easy to get great results if you spend crazy money on crazy finishes, furniture and materials but Laura doesn't do that, she thinks about YOUR wallet and suggest sensible options; sometimes surprising and delighting us by saying "there's actually something really good from IKEA that would fit there perfectly". That's why we'll work with her again... a 'real persons' interior designer with an eye for making the best of things.

LK DESIGN accomplished an incredible job in designing and furnishing our office. Everything flows well together, and the colors and decorations look great. Laura was very quick responding to any requests and is super easy to work with! She has an excellent network of vendors and could help us in any area we needed some help. We highly would recommend Laura for any interior jobs we had an enjoyable experience with LK design

I contacted Laura to talk about window treatment options for my home. She was quick to respond, came over and took time explaining the different options to me. She was so observant and noticed my love of color. After we chose a design, she brought over fabrics (all of which I loved). We picked a fabric and we were both giddy with excitement! She was clear with timelines and communicated when things changed, which i really appreciated. The finished product is absolutely what I first envisioned when contacting Laura, but had no clue how to achieve it. Laura walked me through the process like a breeze. I so loved working with her. She took time to get to know me, was professional and did an excellent job. I will be contacting her again for any future needs and I highly recommend her. I had a wonderful experience and learned things too!

Working with Laura was a breeze! We needed new cellular shades in several areas of the house, and she provided a great product and great service. She was responsive to questions and quick with follow up. And she was able to creatively get the product quickly so we had just one night in our new home without shades in the bedroom. I really enjoyed working with Laura and appreciated her expertise and guidance.

Laura Koshel of LK Design is simply phenomenal! Basically we asked her to start from scratch in our new home’s open great room/dining room area, and from our first meeting, we knew we were in great hands! Laura combines her gift for color and design with great organizational skills, and the results are amazing. She began by asking for our thoughts and preferences, and then hit the ground running. She was thorough and precise, quickly taking measurements to ensure all pieces were properly sized for the space, and then she helped us build the room piece by piece, always keeping our budget in mind. She researched and investigated, and then in every case, she presented us great choices as well as her input and guidance when requested. Occasionally the choices would include one option that, in the past, would have been outside my comfort zone, and I’m so great full that Laura helped me broaden my horizons! We could not be more pleased with the outcome! Now we have asked Laura to help us with our master bedroom and small study, and we can’t wait to see what magic she works in these spaces. It has been and is a pleasure working with Laura, and, without reservation, we highly recommend LK Design and Laura Koshel!

Laura was a super awesome designer! She was hopeful and then final result was amazing. She helped me design my cafe/boba shop and everything came out the way I imagined. If you are looking for a commercial space being designed look for her!! Super professional and very knowledgeable, also she has many connections in the area.

I actually won the initial consultation through a school fund raiser/auction. But many beautiful things came about as a result of the consult. Laura helped picked colors for a couple bedroom walls, and picked gorgeous fabrics for window coverings for 3 bedrooms. Our master bedroom feels much warmer - in a “feeling good” kind of way cause we don’t need anymore “heat” here in North Carolina! And the other 2 bedrooms feel “complete” now. I have a few other projects I plan to have Laura help me with. She has excellent taste!

It was finally time to put up the window treatments in our new house. I did some research and selected Laura Koshel of LK Design. We set up an initial meeting to look at the windows, discuss the type of window treatments she had in mind, fabric type, and price. We signed a contract and then she set out to look for the fabrics on her own. We had a second meeting to choose fabric. All fabrics were perfect choices but Laura helped us pick the perfect one of each window. We made a decision and they were installed a month later. We couldn’t be happier with her service. She was with us every step of the way including installation. We had a glitch with measuring on one window blind and one valance. At our request, Laura came back to lower all valances and she was very happy to oblige. All of our concerns were resolved and we are very happy with the result. I would recommend Laura to anyone who needs quality custom window treatments.

I have now worked with LK Design twice, and it has been worth every penny both times. The first time my husband and I needed some help picking paint colors for our recently purchased home. Laura with LK Design listened and helped me pick paint colors that fit the "vibe" of our home, but she also made sure that our rooms fit into the same color pallet and therefore flowed from space to space. We have been incredibly happy with the neutral paint she helped us pick out, which lightened up our living space and is an easy color to match furniture and details to. It is surprisingly hard to pick paint color, as it changes with the light and space of a home/room. The second time, Laura helped with a kitchen renovation. We needed help coordinating color again. She took the counter sample we had already decided on, and offered several options for cabinet and back splash color schemes. She remains neutral with her personal opinion but is more than willing to share if you ask. She again listened to our goal, which was to freshen up the space but not do anything too weird for resale, and we are feeling confident and excited about our choice now. We can't wait to see the final transformation. Thanks to LK Design for the invaluable input, advice, and remarkable eye for color and design.

Laura is great to work with. She has both design and organizational skills. She listened and asked questions until she understood what we wanted. Then she came up with a plan, a timeline, and a budget, in writing. She stuck to all three beautifully, keeping us posted on progress as things went along. Expect her to arrive to the minute when she said she would come, with everything she said she would bring for you, and to followup when she promises to do something. Plus -- the results are fun and awesome looking!

After a flood of our entire downstairs we hired Laura to provide us with a fresh start. She was excellent in all aspects of design. Her expertise not only covered one room such as the kitchen, but a multitude of rooms as our entire downstairs needed redesign. She was excellent at pulling all rooms together to create one canvas of color and style. In addition, she was very easy to work with, easily accessible, and I felt went out of her way to assist us when we fell under various time constraints. She was also able to smoothly guide my wife and I to mutual choices when we were not in agreement. Finally, as this was our first major redesign, Laura made us feel comfortable with the process, asked lots of questions to understand our preferences, listened to our wants, needs and concerns and in general worked with us on a very individualized level. It made us feel like we were the most important redesign client she had. Finally, she gave us options from turn key renovation ideas to options that allowed us to redesign at our own pace. I can say , that she offered detail and customer service rarely found in today’s market place.

We purchased a new home two years ago, but given that my husband and I have differing styles and strong opinions, we had a hard time coming to an agreement on how to decorate our house. We asked for a consultation with LK Designs to discuss our living room area. Laura was oh so very patient with us, and helped us agree on window treatments and colors for our open concept first floor. She shared several concepts with us, took our feedback, and helped us find the right fabric for the valances. She oversaw every detail of the installation and the result is gorgeous! Based on our first experience, we also asked Laura to help us tackle a "floating bar" wall in our dining room. We had a general idea that we wanted floating shelves for liquor bottles and glassware. We shared our initial thoughts with Laura and she was able to provide several options and diagrams for what might work in our space. She made it easy for us, providing suggestions for mirrored shelves, an accent mirror, and other pieces. She also helped oversee installation and staging the bar for photos. The final result is amazing and we've received so many compliments on each piece. We love the product and look forward to working with Laura on future projects in our home!

We initially contacted Laura for a color consultation, but were so impressed with her that we asked her to develop a design plan. She made the whole process so easy; not only is she fun to work with, but she is incredibly organized! She sets clear expectations and deliverables every step of the way, so there are no surprises. We gave her a tough task – to design a sophisticated family room that could withstand kids, one dog, and a cat – and she did not disappoint. She worked to find us fabrics that not only looked good, but could handle our rambunctious bunch. The end result was beautiful! Sometimes we still walk in and ask ourselves, “is this really our house?” We highly recommend Laura, and will definitely contact her for future projects.

We have been in our home for several years but decided to take our time with finishing certain rooms because we had young children. In working with Laura at LK Design, we have been able to complete a few rooms in a way that we will enjoy for a long time to come while being resilient growing kids. Laura has been thoughtful, considerate of our style preferences while developing a creative look for our space. We could not be happier with the outcome and it has been a pleasure to work with Laura. We look forward to working with Laura on future interior design projects. Highly recommend LK Design!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Laura. First and foremost, she's an absolute delight to be around. She is incredibly perceptive and was able to bring our vision to life. When all was finished, our master bedroom exceeded our expectations we had at the beginning of the process. Laura is a great artist as well as very organized. Not once we thought she was not handling timelines or contractors, as artsy people can be a little bit more relaxed in business. Laura was on the top of everything. Have we not moved cross country, Laura would be doing another project in our home.

My husband and I love working on our house, constantly changing things up and we always have a million and one idea of what we want done and how it should look. I will admit I am quite set in my ways, and so is my husband. When we bought our beach house we decided to give an Interior Designer a try, just to see what would come of it. We are so glad we did! We renovated the house ourselves and wanted to keep some original elements. I had a ton of ideas, but all of them together did not make sense to me yet. At the end of our journey, we had a beautiful beach living room with modern, vintage and some of original house pieces coming together in one eclectic, almost whimsical way. Laura is very knowledgeable and has a great taste, that goes without saying. All you need to do is look at her portfolio and you will definitely like what you see. She is very versatile and open minded. However, what impressed me the most is how easy it was to work with her, how non-intrusive her style and work ethic is. She listens, takes time to process and puts her whole self into the creative process. I would absolutely call her again! MV

I am honored to endorse Laura Koshel of LK Design! We began working with Laura prior to moving to The Hills at Southpoint. She visited our previous home to familiarize herself with our home decor style as well as the rugs and furnishings we planned to incorporate into our new home. Laura has a talent for visualizing possibilities. With her help we chose paint colors, wall paper and gorgeous window treatments. She was always respectful of our ideas, personal preferences and budget, while encouraging us to consider additional styles. The beauty of my home speaks for itself. Laura conducts herself with honesty and integrity. It is a pleasure to work with her.
