How much does high-end interior design cost in Los Angeles?

Every project is scoped individually. The fee reflects the size of the home, how much of it I am designing, whether construction is involved, and how much custom work the design calls for. I do not publish pricing. After the first conversation and a look at the property, I send a proposal that sets out the scope, the timeline, and the investment in writing, and I walk you through it before anything is signed.

How long does a full-service interior design project take?

A full home typically runs 12 to 24 months from first concept to final installation. Design takes three to five months. Custom fabrication and procurement add four to eight. Renovation or new construction extends the schedule because the house has to be ready before the interiors can go in. I set the schedule with you at the start and keep it updated as the project moves.

What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?

A decorator works inside an existing room: furniture, fabric, finish. I work on the room itself. Layout, ceiling height, where the light comes from, how the millwork meets the floor, how one room hands off to the next. I read construction drawings and I grew up on job sites, so the architecture and the interior are designed together instead of one being fitted around the other.

When should I hire an interior designer?

Before construction starts, and ideally before the architectural drawings are final. Ceiling heights, window placement, lighting rough-ins, and millwork locations are structural decisions that decide how the finished room feels. If I am in the room when they are made, they are designed in. If I arrive after, they are constraints.

Where does Joelle Uzyel work?

The studio is in Beverly Hills. Most of my work is in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu. I also run projects in Miami and Miami Beach, New York, and the markets listed on the Locations page. Out-of-market projects are directed from the studio with site visits at the milestones that matter. Clients with more than one home often keep me on across all of them so the houses read as one hand.

What makes Joelle Uzyel different from other interior designers in Los Angeles?

I came to interior design through real estate development. I read construction documents, I understand what a contractor needs from a drawing, and I know what a decision costs before it is made. That is why the design holds through construction instead of getting lost between the designer and the builder. You work with me directly; drafting and production support sits behind me, the design decisions and the relationship are mine. The second difference is the work itself: French Modern, heritage materials built into contemporary architecture, so the house reads as if it has always been there. Fifteen years, a portfolio past $250M, and features in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and The Wall Street Journal.

What does full-service interior design include?

Four phases. Design development: concept, space planning, material direction. Documentation: the drawings and specifications a contractor and a cabinetmaker can build from. Procurement: I source, purchase, track, and receive everything on your behalf. Installation: I am on site when it goes in, and I style the finished house. Throughout, I coordinate with your architect and contractor so the design arrives intact.

Do you purchase the furniture and materials, or do I?

I do, on your behalf. I source at every level, present the options, and nothing is ordered until you have approved it in writing. You see the full picture before you commit. The terms are set out in the proposal.

What is French Modern?

New world rooms with an old world mood. The architecture is contemporary: clean lines, open plans, real volume. The materials carry history: French plaster, herringbone stone, hand-carved profiles, stone selected at the slab. I build those details into the structure before the furniture arrives. The result reads modern and feels like it has been there for a hundred years.

Do I need an interior designer for new construction?

Yes, and earlier than most people think. The right moment is after the architect is engaged and before the plans lock. That is when the interior can still shape the structure instead of being fitted into it. I work directly with the project architect through that window. The new construction page covers how that engagement runs.
