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’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.
This early immersion evolved into designing for an elite clientele, including high-net-worth individuals, cultural icons, and globally recognized figures. Over time, her work has supported the lifestyles of some of the most discerning clients in the world, shaping spaces that reflect both legacy and individuality.
Following her tenure at this firm and other notable design studios, Lisa Merkle established her own practice with a distinct vision—seamlessly blending classical design principles with modern luxury. Her work is defined by a nuanced balance of timeless architecture and contemporary livability, tailored for a discerning clientele that includes both design-savvy homeowners within the Los Angeles real estate market and established estate clients. Each project reflects a thoughtful understanding of how refined interiors support both legacy and modern life.
We believe exceptional homes should inspire daily life while supporting long-term value. Our vision is to create timeless interiors that elevate both the experience of living in a home and the enduring quality of the property itself. Through thoughtful design, curated materials, and architectural sensitivity, we craft environments that remain relevant, beautiful, and valuable for decades.
Our mission is to deliver interiors that combine refined beauty with intelligent design decisions that strengthen home investment. We guide each project with experienced leadership—collaborating closely with architects, contractors, artisans, and specialty trades to ensure every detail is executed to the highest standard. The result is a home that is not only visually exceptional but also thoughtfully designed to support longevity, function, and lasting property value.
Our design philosophy blends classical European influence with the relaxed sophistication of California living. We focus on proportion, architectural integrity, natural light, and curated materials to create beautiful interiors that feel balanced, refined, and enduring. By prioritizing chic, fresh and timeless design, we help ensure that our clients’ homes remain elegant and valuable well into the future.
