🎨 Interior Design in South Scottsdale

I recently purchased a loft style condo and needed to do a complete remodel. I used JL Coates Design to oversee my renovation. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and I cannot speak highly enough about her professionalism, responsiveness and timeliness, as well as her impeccable taste and vision for my space. She made the process seamless from beginning to end. She understood my style and preferences immediately and provided me with options that always delivered. The work was completed in a timely fashion and the people with whom she collaborated with to make my space beautiful were a delight as well. I highly recommend her and would rely on her for any design projects that might arise in the future.

We enjoyed our renovation experience with JL Coates Interior Design Studio. Jennifer was easily available to answer questions and concerns and put our minds at ease throughout the planning process. The virtual design review, coupled with the 3D renderings and drawings made plans clear and communication easy. I enjoyed the face-to-face meeting with the actual samples that were being proposed. With so many options to consider for a project of this size, Jennifer made it a smooth process by laying out the things we spoke of and the styles we liked. I would highly recommend JL Coates Interior Design Studio to anyone considering a home remodel.

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

I had the pleasure of working with Suzanne before relocating and knowing I would be leaving behind much of my old furnishings and décor. During this time of transition, I needed someone I could trust, as I simply wouldn't have the time to do it myself. Suzanne did a beautiful job and was not only skilled but also incredibly patient and understanding of my emotions during a time of crisis. As an artist, I wanted my space to reflect my creative aesthetics—timeless, whimsical, and subtly elegant. After researching several designers and reading fantastic reviews of Suzanne's work, I knew I had to reach out. And I’m so glad I did! Plus, she loves dogs (a must if you’re in my life), and my dog was included in many of our design choices! From our very first consultation, Suzanne took the time to understand my vision. She listened carefully to my ideas, preferences, and personal style, ensuring that every detail was considered. Her ability to blend practicality with creativity is truly impressive. She curated a space that feels uniquely mine—balancing artistic flair with serene elegance. Suzanne works with a talented team that helps bring your vision to life. The furniture, colors, and textures she selected were perfectly suited to my aesthetic. Her thoughtful design approach seamlessly integrates my artistic background with timeless elements that will remain beautiful for years. I’m beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. Our home now feels like a true reflection of who I am, both as an artist and a person. My husband and dog are also thrilled—we all now have our personal happy space! I highly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a talented, attentive, creative, and masterful designer. Her work has truly transformed our home into something special.

We have had an exceptional experience with Suzanne at S Interior Design. She is very approachable, listens to the needs of her clients and is responsive throughout the process. We would highly recommend working with Suzanne. Her staff and recommended vendors have been a pleasure to work with. Our finished living space is gorgeous!

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.
