FAQ'S

1What is the difference between Full Interior Design & E-design Services?
Full interior design includes Lara & her team traveling to your home to measure and gather all info for designs. Meetings & design presentations are in-person. Construction work & all installations are personally overseen by Lara & her team. We provide estimating, budgeting & scheduling of entire project. All purchases are handled by our firm. We’ll manage every detail from start of design creation to final installation. Full design is best for large renovations, additions, & customizing new home builds. In contrast, E-Design services entail you measuring and filling out a detailed questionnaire. For budgets under $50k, you handle the purchasing your design selections. All work is done virtually through video meetings and email, enabling you to receive our expert designs at a much lower cost with shortened time frames. E-Service Custom designs are implemented by your contractors.

  2. Furnishings & décor only

4What will I receive in my design package?
We’re proud that the quality of your designs and quantity of services you’ll receive is so much higher than our competitors!  The deliverables are listed under each package on our packages page.  For all full room designs you will receive a customized floor plan, furniture layout, a hyper realistic 3D Color rendering showing your finished room, 1 design revision, colors, materials & finishes selections, a shop-able mood board to purchase all your items, 4 video meetings with Lara & her team, email support throughout the process, and your sample box mailed to you.
5What are Shop-able Mood Boards?
They contain all the furniture, fixtures, and other items in your room designs shown together in an elegant, organized way. You can simply click & purchase them at your leisure.
6Why doesn't the Kitchen package come with cabinetry design?
Because kitchens vary greatly in size and are tailored to each client's individual needs, the cost can't be predetermined. If you need custom cabinetry designs, select the "Custom Quote E-Design" package below and we'll craft your estimate for the perfect customs designs tailored specifically to your needs. Perfect for any custom cabinetry you may need such as TV built-ins, fireplace mantels, bookshelves, bathroom vanities, bars, etc.…you name it, we can design it!
7How will you know my style?
By reviewing your questionnaire answers, inspiration photos, or Pinterest boards you upload. Don’t be shy sharing, the more we know about your likes and dislikes, the better we’ll be at creating your perfect spaces! Everything is reviewed during our KICK-OFF! meeting to ensure we get it right.
8What should I do if I’m having trouble measuring?
Have someone help you to keep the tape measure straight on long walls, and use a tape measure at least 20 feet long. Keep your sketch basic, it just needs to be readable and accurate. Review our guide in the Questionnaire and if you still need help, email us at info@laramichelle.com. If after reviewing your uploaded measurements we see something off, we’ll email you to make sure we get it right!
9What is your return/refund policy?
Once we receive your completed questionnaire(s) and begin working on your designs, we unfortunately can’t issue any refunds. Before then, a refund can be issued less a $25 processing fee.
10Are the purchases I make through my shop-able mood board returnable?
Many of the purchases made through the mood board links are non-returnable (except for damage or wrong item sent). If an item arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact the seller directly to start a claim within 7 days. You can also email us to get their contact information.

    We worked with Lara Michelle as we embarked on an extensive remodel (6 month project) on our home in Westchester and I recommend her with zero reservations. Lara was a consummate professional. A few key strengths: 1) Lara clearly is an expert in her field and always came to us with creative and beautiful options 2) Organized with great communication and project management skills: We always knew where we were with our project; what was done and what was left to be done 3) Lara was great about being respectful of our budgets and more importantly explaining tradeoffs between decisions 4) Great customer service oriented personality: Lara was so easy to work with... She was responsive, flexible and just a genuinely good person.

    Lara worked with us as we gutted our entire house. She project managed on a weekly basis because we lived in the city and I was pregnant with our 2nd. We were very dependent on her being onsite, handling every detail and making real-time decisions. She did an exceptional job understanding our style, family needs and thinking out of the box when we had to find solutions/workarounds. Our home has since been featured in magazines, home catalogs, websites, etc. all thanks to Lara's brilliant design skills.

    I interviewed several designers and decided on Lara. Lara's expertise encompassed everything I was looking for in an interior designer. She was professional from our first meeting throughout the process, staying on task and sticking to a timeline. Her talents in every area of design made the process exciting and fun! She remained calm, reassuring and solution-oriented throughout, especially when we experienced unexpected hiccups along the way. Lara is extremely talented, dependable, confident, respectful and listens to her clients. I highly recommend her!

    We have recently completed a large renovation which included our kitchen, foyer with new stairs, 3 bathrooms, laundry room, mudroom, and our master suite under the watchful eye of Lara Michelle, and we are thrilled with the professional and efficient way that every detail was handled. We were abroad for much of the project and any issues were very quickly resolved, with the whole process running smoothly and on time. Lara has excellent relationships with her contractors and suppliers, and holds them to extremely high standards. We would not hesitate to recommend Lara Michelle for any renovation or design project.

    I had a very dated, 80s, contemporary home that needed a total facelift. From the initial consultation with Lara, I felt completely comfortable and confident that she would be perfect for our renovation. I worked closely with Lara on many of the details of the renovation, and couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Lara transformed my entire house into a modern, sleek, comfortable home that is constantly receiving compliments from those that see it. She has impeccable taste and was wonderful at managing the contractors. I highly recommend her for any of your home renovation and design needs!
