WELCOME TO A WORLD OF REFINED, ELEVATED LIVING

Lisa Merkle Design is a full-service interior design studio specializing in modern-classic luxury residences in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and across the United States.

We are known for delivering thoughtfully executed remodels and custom interiors that balance sophistication with livability. Each project is approached with a highly curated perspective—where materiality, proportion, and light are carefully considered to create spaces that feel cohesive, timeless, and deeply personal.

With decades of experience and formal training rooted in classical European design principles, our studio brings a level of depth and precision that elevates every project. From concept and spatial planning through final installation, we guide the entire process with clarity, discretion, and attention to detail.

LISA MERKLE, FOUNDER

Lisa Merkle’s foundation in design began at the age of 19, where she trained within a prestigious, celebrity-caliber design firm. There, she developed a deep understanding of classical architecture and interiors, with a focus on 18th-century French and Italian design, as well as modern principles. In parallel with her studies and affiliations through UCLA, she gained early exposure to high-level design collaboration, working alongside respected industry associations and liaisons.

THE STUDIO

A beautiful home requires more than good taste.

A successful renovation needs a clear creative vision—and the intelligence to carry it through construction.

Lisa brings together creative direction, construction knowledge, client advocacy, and high-level decision-making. From spatial planning and architectural finishes to cabinetry, lighting, stone, furnishings, and final styling, every choice is considered in relation to the whole home.

We are known for warm, sophisticated interiors with a sense of permanence: classic proportions, beautiful materials, understated luxury, and a distinctly California ease. The result feels personal and elevated—not overdone, trend-driven, or designed for a moment.

THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE

Considered today.
Enduring tomorrow.

A home renovation is a meaningful investment. The right decisions protect its beauty, functionality, resale value, and long-term enjoyment.

We help clients invest wisely: identifying where to spend, where to simplify, what must be resolved early, and how every detail connects to the larger vision.

I.

Creative vision

Warm, sophisticated interiors with classic proportions and distinctly California ease.

II.

Practical intelligence

Anticipating real-world construction decisions before they become costly changes.

III.

Beauty, functionality, and quality considered in every investment decision.

THE PHILOSOPHY

Elegance without excess.
Confidence in every detail.

Lisa brings together creative direction, construction knowledge, client advocacy, and high-level decision-making. From spatial planning and architectural finishes to cabinetry, lighting, stone, furnishings, and final styling, every choice is considered in relation to the whole home.

REFINED. PERSONAL. ENDURING.

We are known for warm, sophisticated interiors with a sense of permanence: classic proportions, beautiful materials, understated luxury, and a distinctly California ease. The result feels personal and elevated—not overdone, trend-driven, or designed for a moment.

THE EXPERIENCE

The Lisa Merkle
Design approach.

Every project begins with understanding how you live now, what the home needs to become, and which decisions will have the greatest impact.

We then build a cohesive vision and guide the many practical decisions required to bring it to life. Our role is not simply to select finishes. It is to create clarity, maintain quality, anticipate issues before they become expensive, and help keep the project aligned with the intended result.

For clients undertaking a significant remodel or furnishing project, that guidance is invaluable. The most costly mistakes are rarely decorative—they happen when decisions are made too late, scope is unclear, or no one is protecting the overall vision.

“Every choice is considered in relation to the whole home.”

Lisa is far more than a talented designer, she is a trusted home strategist, creative director and exceptionally capable client advocate. Her years of luxury residential experience and outstanding industry relationships were invaluable in protecting our investment and elevating every detail. She and her team approached every challenge with integrity and warmth, and we could not be happier with the beautiful results at multiple residences we have worked on with her and team in Los Angeles, Century City, Hollywood Hills and our Laguna Beach home.

We understand why Lisa Merkle Design is so highly regarded. Lisa is a UCLA-trained designer and home strategist who began her career with a renowned celebrity design firm and her experience truly shows.
