Remodeling in Chapel Hill while living in California can be stressful but Laura Koshel of LK Design created a space we love and with little stress. She coordinated with our contractor resolving contractor and designer conflicts with ease. The project included new cabinetry, flooring and tile for our kitchen, two baths and other living spaces. When it came to finishes and furnishings she listened to us and guided us into choices we love, melding pieces we moved with new furnishings that best fit our space. Her trained eye helped us find the best placements for our many paintings. LK Design brought professionalism to our remodeling job that exceeded our expectations.

We had a great experience working with Laura and Alya. As first-time clients of an interior designer, we were very impressed. They were both professional, and I particularly appreciated Laura's straightforward approach. She was tremendously helpful in guiding me/us through decisions when feeling indecisive. I would highly recommend LK Design. Laure W. Durham NC

After completing major interior renovations, we turned our attention to creating a cohesive design plan for our home. I initially assumed I could manage the process myself, perhaps with some help from friends. It quickly became overwhelming: I knew what I wanted, but I lacked the experience and expertise to bring it to life. That was when I realized I needed a designer. My research led me to Laura, whose reviews and portfolio immediately made me hope she would have the time and interest to work with us. Laura began the design process during our very first call, asking broad yet thoughtful questions about our interests. She then gave us homework: gather a finite number of photos that captured our ideas and inspiration. The exercise was brilliant because it pushed us to clarify and refine our vision. Laura also outlined her process from the start. As someone who values structure, I was impressed by the clearly defined design phases and her consistent communication. Our first meeting focused on the project’s scope, and I was delighted by how quickly she translated our interests into a design direction shaped by her talent and expertise. The selection process was seamless, exceptionally well organized, and expertly executed. The delivery-day logistics were equally impressive. Most importantly, the result is a home we genuinely love and cherish. Laura stayed with the project until every detail was resolved. She is an excellent problem solver and a highly effective communicator. She removed the stress and uncertainty from the entire experience, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

LK Design helped transform our home through a large addition and renovation. Laura designed a spacious new kitchen and living room, reimagined our old living room as a ground-level primary suite with a closet and full bathroom, updated our powder room, and created a custom entry bench that makes the entry feel finished and functional. Her design work brought together beauty, function, and flow, and the finished spaces feel cohesive with the rest of our home. We highly recommend LK Design for kitchen design, bathroom design, custom millwork, and whole-home remodel projects.

We moved from California to NC after living in our previous home there for 25 years. We decided against moving all our dated “stuff” cross country. We moved into a new one story build, which was perfect for our retirement, but lacked any uniqueness. Laura and her team had a daunting task of designing nearly our entire home at once. She did an amazing job— better than we could have ever imagined. She listened to us, asked the right questions to unearth our styles and wants, making our new house a warm and cozy home. She honored our needs/wants throughout the process and she did it all within our available budget. She and her team followed up on any issues we did have and followed through timely. It was difficult to pick out furnishings without ever touching and trying them out, but her knowledge and experience put us ant ease and we loved all the pieces we picked. She made it so easy and we felt so comfortable in trusting her with the entire process.

Working with Laura and her team at LK Design was such a pleasure! Laura has an incredible vision for creating spaces that feel both beautiful and inviting. It was exciting to see everything come together, and the end result is more than I could have hoped for. I truly walk in my home and it feels like a big hug! I can’t recommend Laura and LK Design enough!

My first experience working with a designer, and so appreciated how Laura laid out the entire process, timetable, and budget expectations. It's a leap to buy a room full of furniture sight unseen, but really, Laura and her team know what they are doing and we couldn't be happier with the result. They took our likes and dislikes seriously, and really transformed the space with the right color, lighting and a couple of small suggestions that brought it all together. I am delighted every time I walk into our very cool living room.

When I reached out to Laura, I was a little nervous as I'd never used the services of an interior designer before. We moved into an open-concept new build, and there were just too many blank spaces that were keeping the house from feeling like a warm home. I wanted functional design and textiles that could stand up to cat claws and I didn't want to spend a fortune on any of it. Laura came up with so many creative options and was completely up-front about pricing, delivery time for materials, and what I could expect on installation day. She helped us find custom chairs for our dining table (which are comfortable and easy to clean), created a lovely powder room, suggested we use wallpaper to soften the somewhat stark white living room shelves, and more. My photos don't do these changes justice, but we would highly recommend Laura and her team. She will design based on your needs, tastes, and budget. She's never pushy. And her communication is excellent.

This design professional has a stylish solution for everything. Laura is bold, confident, and has a winning process that will create the home interior of your dreams. My situation was not ideal for Laura in that I already had a partially furnished space and my house is a log home - somewhat out of the main stream. However, she gained enthusiasm and momentum as she guided me through the design phase. Laura's execution of our plan for my space was flawless. She transformed a capacious 2-story great room into a cozy, warmly functional, and visually appealing living space that I now love. Thank you Laura!

Laura did an amazing job helping us in our design project. We needed new window treatments for three rooms in our home as well as new upholstery. She is organized, has great follow through. She is able to ask questions and determine what your style and goals are for a project. She came back to our home with numerous design options that were well thought out. We love the results and will definitely work with her in the future.
