HOW WE WORK

​​

 
We tailor our working agreements to our clients the way that we tailor their interiors.  With open discussion and transparency, we work together to put together an agreement that is fitting to the client and the project. Our portfolio features residential interiors, restaurants, commercial spaces, and exterior gardens, reflecting our mission to create timeless and unique environments. We collaborate closely with clients, contractors, and architects on remodels and new constructions, offering expertise on finishes, decorative lighting, flooring, and other aesthetic choices. By managing these details alongside our design and furniture selection, we ensure a cohesive and visually harmonious final result.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING​
 

"Working with Laura Stokes has been an incredible experience. Laura listened to our  goals and preferences, and provided us with both functional and beautiful designs. 

She was invaluable at problem solving space/installation issues and communicating with contractors throughout the process.  Laura was very supportive and has such a lovely personality. We would love to work with Laura again and recommend her without hesitation!"

"Three years ago we had the good fortune of hiring Laura Stokes Interior Design as our kitchen/family room designer and project director. She collaborated with our contractor. She guided me through every aspect of our renovation by taking me to various vendors including kitchen countertop venues, flooring, tile, light fixtures and appliance stores. She helped find the perfect wallpaper for our dining room and bathroom. She recommended the architect who designed a lovely addition to our kitchen. She also found a painter who spray painted my family room the perfect color blue! I loved the hardware she found for our gorgeous cabinets, made by her cabinet maker.
Most of all, she listened to our requests and was patient with us as we changed our minds numerous times throughout! She answered endless texts and calls, even on weekends and holidays. Her attention to detail is exactly what one would hope for when remodeling a home.
In the years since we completed our renovation, I have received numerous compliments    from people visiting our home. Every morning as I sit and eat my breakfast in this beautiful room full of natural light, I smile! I could not be more pleased with the way it turned out. Family functions here are that much more special!
I highly recommend Laura Stokes Interior Design and would be happy to answer any questions when selecting a kitchen designer. Her sophistication and attention to detail is superb!

"Laura Stokes has designed several projects for me that have had magazine quality results.  Laura collaborates with builders, electricians, plumbers and homeowner to ensure that everything and everyone are in sync throughout the process.  During the project Laura identified an error in the plans, made recommendations to the builder and as a result some significant design changes were made.  Only someone with a background in construction (raised by generations of builders) and a keen sense of the customers style would be able to spot. What I didn't expect was that she would show up while construction was happening to ensure everything was on track and make some tweaks along the way. That attention to detail, as well as her design expertise will ensure that you are getting more than you expected."
