🎨 Interior Design in Paradise Valley

Stephanie Larsen and her team are a rare combination of artistry, attention to detail, responsiveness/professionalism and excellent customer service. We worked with Stephanie and her team on a large remodel of our home including flooring throughout our house, updated lighting throughout, and a complete remodel/redesign of 4 bathrooms, the primary walk-in closet, and a basement kitchenette. We also replaced the furniture in the front entry, living room, dining room, primary bedroom and guest bedroom. The design phase of the project began in early 2025. The majority of construction occurred over the summer, of 2025 finishing with new furniture delivery in fall 2025. Stephanie was a great partner in the design phase, taking our personalities into account, working through several design iterations to make sure we were completely happy, and reusing some of our existing pieces (lighting, bathroom sink, etc) in the remodel. She was always available and responded quickly to comments and questions. Stephanie recommended using her husband Paul Aguirre and his company QC Quality Construction as general contractor overseeing the renovations. The quality of the construction workmanship of Paul’s company and in supervising the various subcontractors was outstanding. He did a great job of phasing them (electricians, plumbers, drywallers, painters, etc) to minimize down-time and keep everything moving forward as quickly as possible. We had good communication throughout the project with both Paul and Stephanie. They worked really hard to minimize delays and disruptions that are inevitable in a large project like this. Prior to the remodel, our house had a beautiful Tuscan theme that was not consistent with our personalities. I very much appreciate Stephanie’s design efforts to update our house, focusing on natural fibers and woods, as well as her belief in promoting health and wellness throughout the house. In addition to the furnishings, Stephanie recommended accessories that resonate with us. Post-remodel, we have a home that promotes relaxation and connects with us at the soul level. We love, love, love the updated house. I cannot list my favorite thing, as everything is beautiful, serene and comfortable. Stephanie exceeded all expectations, and we are thrilled beyond words. My friends have commented that we finally have a home that seems like us.

If you're the kind of person who wants only the best, then the more you explore working with Stephanie the more obvious it will become that she is your absolute best choice. In 2019 Stephanie designed my first Sedona home, see the attached images...a picture is worth a 1000 words. In 2021 I bought a new, yet to be built home. I used a designer other than Stephanie, for no reason related to Stephanie. This other "recognized and award winning" designer delivered work *NO WHERE* close to the quality of Stephanie's work and I didn't get the "dream home" I paid for. I had to re engage Stephanie to clean up the contractor's and other designers mess and failings. Stephanie is a consummate professional: She'll exceed your expectations in project over sight/management, fighting for the exact final outcome you want (If your contractor/subcontractors fall short), sourced materials (cabinetry, flooring, furniture, rugs, lighting, etc) and she'll deliver excellence in the final product. On a personal note, I'm not someone who "needs the best," but quality is paramount to me. If you want one of the best designers available anywhere and quality matters, then hire Stephanie, you'll be glad that you did. She's wonderful to work with. And, she's a nice person with a good heart. If you have any questions, google my name, Jim Fortin, you'll find me online. Reach out and I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have about her skills, service or commitment to excellence! Work with Stephanie and get ready for the home of your dreams. Thanks, Jim Fortin

From the moment we reached out, we were instantly impressed with Ashley's professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Ashley made an incredible effort to understand our tastes, preferences, and vision for our new home. She was always punctual and prepared for meetings, making the entire design process a breeze. Communication was smooth and consistent, as Ashley kept us informed and updated throughout every stage. She showed tremendous respect for our ideas and opinions, while also providing expert advice when we needed it. The design choices Ashley made for our home truly exceeded our expectations. Her amazing taste, eye for color and texture, and knack for blending functionality with aesthetics transformed our house into a stunning, personalized living space. We were particularly impressed with how she incorporated unique and eye-catching elements without compromising on the overall harmony and warmth of our home. Armando and Liz Encinas

Working with Ashley has been such a great experience. She is professional and open to hearing what the client wants. She has designed 2 offices spaces for us now and we love them both. She works great with our team and we look forward to working with her on our next projects. Final results are beautiful.
