Lisa is a wonderfully experienced and expert designer whose creative input, aesthetic vision and professional contacts were instrumental for the success of our home remodeling project. We consulted Lisa once we had already embarked on the project although I wish we had done it sooner. From the beginning, Lisa made us feel welcome and comfortable even though this was not a million dollar project. We appreciated her positive attitude and generous spirit. She provided key input on layout, design and materials as well as expert vendor recommendations for window treatments, closet solutions, lighting, tiles, fixtures, wall coverings, furniture and decor. Her rates were fair and she was always mindful of our budget and time constraints when recommending ideas and solutions. Lisa took time to understand our aesthetic preferences. She worked tirelessly to make sure that the contractor/ vendors delivered high quality results and on time. When we had a small issue with the closet vendor, she immediately escalated it and made sure that the work was completed to our satisfaction. Her thoughtful recommendations and painstaking attention to detail were critical in delivering results which are beautiful, functional, and harmonize well with the rest of the house. Special kudos to her for the kids bedroom, bathroom and powder room- they are stunning thanks to her vision and selection of paint colors, wallpaper and / materials. Finally, we had a lot of fun working with Lisa. Her high energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor took a lot of the stress out of remodeling and made us feel good throughout the process. We really appreciated the opportunity to work with Lisa and hope we get to collaborate again with her in the future read more

I was introduced to Lisa Merkle Design through an old and trusted business associate. After many years of working with interior designers and contractors directly- I can say without a doubt that Lisa Merkle provided me with the most satisfying experience- Incredible Seamless and elevated, beautiful results and budget spent wisely with increased property value. Also, she watched for details and was able to get prices and secure resources I could never accomplish on my own. Lisa is an extremely talented designer with so many incredibly valuable industry connections to assist with whatever we needed, and assist with any glitches that might arise. She worked with me directly, and really listened to me and helped me develop ideas and vision. I am beyond thrilled with the project in my West Hollywood home. Her relaxed and friendly demeanor as well as her sense of style, made her seem like someone I would enjoy working with. I am absolutely in LOVE with everything. Her imagination, creativity and attention to detail was a very big help. She is professional, resourceful, trustworthy, and easy to work with. Her customer service and record keeping skills are first-rate. Also, she always had an eye on the contractor and workmanship details. I never would have known to watch for these things. Everything came in on time, on budget, and exceeded my expectations. The painters and assorted trades and workers she recommended were timely, considerate, and professional. The quality of all the design and construction work is excellent, and we saved on budget with beautiful results. I absolutely could not be more thrilled. read more

Lisa is a high-level, experienced interior designer who embodies customer service and excellent design. I own a couple of investment properties in Los Angeles, and her services and creativity have been instrumental in increasing their values. One of the projects began as an untouched 1920s Hollywood property that needed a great deal of work. Lisa and her team transformed this building to reflect a modern and luxurious look while maintaining the 1920s character and charm. Her recommended vendors, craftsmen and contractors are excellent- received beyond excellent work and service with her established vendors and trades. Not only has Lisa worked on my investment properties, she has also consulted on my personal residence. I have recommended her to friends, clients, business associates, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking excellent interior design services. read more

I am thrilled to have found Lisa Merkle Design on yelp! Lisa is absolutely fabulous! I scheduled an appointment with her, after seeing her extensive and impressive portfolio, and fell in love with her energy and work immediately. I was sick of making costly purchases and mistakes, and the number of decisions, options, and vendors was mind numbing, and I didn't know where to start. Lisa has managed design projects at several celebrity design firms in Los Angeles for over 10 years, and is incredibly experienced in the field of interior decorating. I felt confident that she could easily and happily accommodate anything and everything that I might throw her way, and I was proven right. Her taste and vision is exactly on-point. One of my favorite things I did with Lisa was picking out wonderful paint colors that really opened up and accented the space. The colors and accent wall colors she chose make my space look very clean, modern and architectural. I love it! Definitely a major improvement to my living space. Before deciding to hire Lisa, I kept messing up and painting the walls over and over again, which was expensive, costly and annoying. Lisa helped hone in on the style, and we also picked out the perfect furniture, accessories, lighting items, and floor coverings. I am 100% convinced that I got superior design and quality pieces, moreso than I could have picked myself. Lisa thought of numerous elements that I didn't even consider and she really knows where to get the best items at the best prices. She is professional and courteous, as well as efficient and surprisingly very fair on the pricing. She took my opinions into consideration, and went above and beyond to make fantastic design choices. Everything turned out great! My house is now modern, luxurious and looks like a 5 star resort! Everyone who walks in comments on how incredible my place looks. I am also very comfortable and happy with the outcomes. I cannot wait to work with her again! I love everything! I have already recommended her to family and friends. Everyone is thrilled. Thank you, Lisa. read more

I am very impressed with my designer Lisa Merkle. Her work is solid and she is a passionate and well intentioned person who knows her business. In the beginning we wrestled with certain aspects of my vision, but Lisa was easy to work with. She helped me pull together a great dining room project. The upholsterer, window treatment fabricator and painter she recommended all did wonderful work at reasonable prices. Lisa listened to my needs and desires and was very attentive, but not pushy. She was very budget oriented and always prompt. We redid the dining area in my small 900 sq. foot apartment. What she created was exactly what I had envisioned. She listened to my ideas, interpreted my sketches and left me with a space that is now useful and enjoyable to be in. The entire space seems much bigger. The scale and colors are correct for the space. It was too cramped and dark before. Now it's light, airy, fresh and modern, but still masculine. It's basically updated. She brought my 175 foot space to life with light fresh updated architectural colors that allow light to radiate and a feature wall in a taupe color, which makes my eclectic artwork pop. My ancient lighting fixtures were upgraded to a more modern style that give more light and update the entire look. I swore I didn't want a round table, but Lisa convinced me that with a leaf, I would have enough table space for dinners with the family. I feel better and enjoy the space much more. It's like a breath of fresh air that is in some way improving every aspect of my life. I love being there. My girlfriend refuses to eat anywhere else but at the table now. I've already gotten many compliments from everyone who walks in. Lisa, thank you immensely. We still have a lot of work to do. read more

My family and I have worked with Lisa and we are THRILLED! Lisa is an incredibly talented, amazing interior designer! I love my beach condo, and my family's Beverly Hills House look incredible. Modern, fresh and luxurious-5 stars! Absolutely everyone that walks in the spaces immediately comments how fantastic everything looks. She has exquisite taste and years of experience, which made us feel extremely comfortable at all stages. Lisa helped us pick everything out-furniture, accessories, paint colors and all surface materials. We re-did the cabinetry in kitchen and bathroom. It was such a stress free experience for everyone. Every presentation she showed us was impeccable & thoroughly thought out. Lisa went above and beyond, and the results show. She is incredibly well organized, and worked very hard to find us the best items at competitive prices. The installations and deliveries were handled seamlessly. Lisa is very passionate about a job well done. She kept all lines of communication open from emailing to phone conferences. Best decision we ever made was hiring her. Our homes are now beautiful to come home to. We have already referred to her to more friends of the family. Book her already! You will have no regrets! read more

Lisa Merkle is hands down, the BEST. I tried her first for a color consult, and that turned into doing a fabulous job on my living room, dining room, and kitchen. She has an incredible eye and understood how to make my condo look more cohesive. I had moved into my place, but it was largely furnished with old apartment furniture. For her years of industry experience and high net worth projects, she is fairly priced and works with you on the level of involvement your would (or not) like to take on. She also has creative ideas for lighting, cabinetry, color of paint, and making sure the furniture didn't weigh down the room. I tried putting my place together, but wasted more time and money doing it on my own. Also, I tried those free design services that furniture stores offer, but the problem is they are ultimately pushing their products and selection is limited. She is highly responsible, fun to work with, and now I enjoy coming home! Give her a call or email, it will be worth your time. read more

My wife and I needed help with a transformation/remodel of our newly purchased but very dated 3 story early 2000's West LA 2000+ sf condo into a modern luxury home. We happened upon Lisa Merkle on Yelp, who immediately responded to us and discussed with us our vision and how she could help transform the property. Not only is Lisa Merkle is an excellent Designer who helped guide us; Lisa picked all surface materials, gorgeous paint palette throughout, bathroom remodel/materials, plumbing fixtures for bathrooms and kitchens, beautiful wood flooring, lighting. She and her team drew up great looking floorplans and picked awesome modern luxe style furniture and accessory items for interiors and upper deck. She was extremely responsive via text, email or the phone. We are thrilled with her beautiful design choices, and she kept in mind spending wisely, durability, comfort, and what would work for the long term resale of the property. We appreciate she watched contractor details closely for superior results. We are loving and enjoying our new home and would highly recommend Lisa for any type of home remodel or interior design work one would need. We will definitely be using her for any future projects we have. read more

My wife and I consulted with Lisa to help us with hardscaping our outdoor space. We had to replace our deck and replaster our pool. We brought her out and she came up with innovative ideas that make our yard look absolutely gorgeous. She is a wiz and gets you connected with the right vendors. Also, since she is so well connected, a lot of the stuff we needed came at a better discount than had we gone in there independently. She worked diligently and thoroughly. She kept us within our budget as promised and she was well worth the investment. read more

I have worked with several designers and the trades people they recommended, with outcomes often ranging from acceptable to nightmarish. Lisa was a breath of fresh air! She has taken responsibility for the work from start to finish, and the quality and outcome is wonderful. My space has been transformed into a beautiful and calming oasis. Lisa is able to provide superb attention to detail without ever losing sight of the big picture and how all the pieces fit together. She has been a terrific partner throughout the process, extremely responsive to my vision, preferences and budget, while providing clarity, expertise and guidance about what the aesthetic parameters and requirements are. Nowadays it's very rare to fine this level of competency, professionalism and true pride of workmanship, and it's been much appreciated. read more

I first used Lisa Merkle about 6 years ago. It was to help me with a few pieces of furniture. I came to see what a great eye she had for style, so I slowly had her redo one room at a time until she helped beautify my entire home!! Lisa would choose the furniture, paint and accessories and each time I saw an incredible transformation. A couple of years ago I had her redesign and oversee construction of my bathroom. I told her I had stayed at a beautiful, stylish hotel in Greenwich Village and was extremely impressed with their bathroom, never thinking that she could create the same incredible look. But she did! My bathroom is gorgeous and the complements are still coming. What I love about Lisa is not only her taste, but the fact that she is a perfectionist. Her follow up and pride in her work has always impressed me. As she worked with the construction people she would check every single detail! Last year Lisa redid my Master Bathroom, and again, it is also absolutely beautiful. What Lisa did with my garage, is really telling of her talent. I told her I wanted my garage to be more inviting so that I would love using it to workout and relax, but I wanted to keep the cost down. Lisa created the most unbelievable tile floor design with 2 different sizes and designs of tile. She added some paint, a beautiful light fixture, and 2 pieces of furniture, and created a masterpiece! I never thought a garage could be transformed so quickly. I don't know what I would have done without Lisa. My house now feels so complete, I just love it!! As one business owner to another, I thank you Lisa for your talent and professionalism!! read more

I had a more old fashioned style reception area office that was very outdated and needed a burst of freshness and Lisa provided just that. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and had that fresh inspiration that I had been lacking and also worked well with with a few of my own ideas to give it a more personal touch to create a more exciting modern, fresh, updated look. Luv it! I now love my new reception office and this in turn has brought me more business. I get complimented on my new decor all the time. Thank you Lisa! read more

Having to shelter at home in Los Angeles during COVID-19 is made much easier because of the beautiful, peaceful, restorative living room you created for us. Whether we are relaxing or working in the space, we are grateful to you, Lisa. The basic foundational items are gorgeous and comfortable. You paired them perfectly with both modern and vintage accents, rich yet soft textiles, and you even incorporated our antique rug in a re-imagined, fresh way. We never thought we'd spend so much time in this room and we haven't tired of it yet... okay maybe a little but that's not your fault! We remain thrilled with and impressed by your professionalism, work ethic, craftsmanship and design aesthetic... so much so that you designed the entire interior of our other home in Hawaii. Again, you knocked it out of the park: casual, comfortable, functional, beachy in a serene, sophisticated, warm way. We could not be more happy with the results you produced for us. We can't wait to return to our beloved Hawaiian home - a big part of our ache for the place is because of the environment you created for our family. We cannot thank you enough. We've worked with a lot of people over the years and nobody tops Lisa Merkle. read more
