We had a great experience working with LMK interiors team, they were always attentive, kind and super professional, the communication was easy even though we are new to the US lifestyle. We had a great time decorating our new home along with them. The team took our house design and transformed it into our home. The principle designer Leslie read us, understood our needs and captured our style with unbelievable professionalism. They are able to connect with the client as a human being, no matter in different culture background or personal life journey. we feel each detail in our new home says something about us as a family. We keep rediscovering it as time passes by. Best decision ever!

Although undergoing a home renovation is a challenging process, I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with LMK. Their guidance, professionalism, integrity and charm buoyed us through a long and very involved addition and renovation. The end result is a complete upgrade to the way we live within our home. All the beautiful choices are ours and authentically represent our taste but would never have been a figured out without their expertise and trade relationships. We do not miss the construction process, but we miss Leslie and Haley and the team!

Leslie, Gayle and the rest of their team at LMK Interiors are the best! In hiring LMK for remodel project, we were fortunate to have TWO professional designers, Leslie and Gayle, working hand in hand, each bringing their own expertise and years of experience to the creative effort. It was reassuring to know we had so much talent with both designers, bouncing ideas back and forth with each other and then us, making sure the end result exceeded our expectations.

In the most recent project, we took both our kitchen and laundry room down to the studs, with structural wall changes being required. Leslie and Gayle’s attention to detail is unparalleled and appreciated. From the initial design that included vision, creativity, functionality and so many renderings, to the eventual successful conclusion. The visualization was made much easier with their use of 3D CAD software that allowed us to see options in real time. Their talent is showcased with the selection of all materials, colors, finishings, fixtures and appliances. Leslie has ability to work hand in hand with our choice of contractor, and kept the lines of communication very open. She handled some difficult situations brilliantly. We loved being able to tap into their creativity, as ours leaves something to be desired. Leslie and Gayle are both great at listening to our wants, needs and must haves, yet offering their honest, direct opinions from their years of experience. Our kitchen and laundry are now not only beautiful, but user friendly and comfortable.

We have worked together with LMK for multiple projects over the past several years at our home in Alamo, and each one has been completed to our total satisfaction. They have earned our complete trust and we will absolutely use them again in the near future.

Leslie Kalish came in and saved the day. I had been working with another designer who left my job abruptly and unfinished. A friend recommended LMK Interiors and when they took over my job I knew I had won the lottery. Leslie and her team stepped in and completed my remodel and their level of expertise and knowledge elevated my home to a level I had not thought possible. The final finishes they chose were elegant, rich and made my home stunning, warm and very inviting. Her sub contractors were professional and did excellent work. My house was completed on time and I feel so lucky that LMK finished the job!!! They are the best.

We have very happily worked with LMK for 8 years. Initially, we had a smaller budget and they were able to help us identify how we could get the most impact out of our dollar. Most recently, Leslie designed a guest suite addition that has greatly enhanced our home and life. Additionally, both Leslie and Gayle designed and oversaw our full house renovation, coordinating with our general contractor and working tirelessly to ensure that every detail was perfect throughout the entire process.

I have worked with LMK since 2017 on multiple projects. They are amazing and I trust them completely. My projects where large in scope with one being a total rebuild of my home. Their design choices and colors always captured my vibe. My contractors have always worked seamlessly with LMK and because of how well they were organized my projects always finished on time. I would highly recommend them.

Leslie & Gayle and the LMK team are absolutely terrific -- professional, reliable, efficient, timely, fun, and talented. They provided exceptional quality in resourcing materials, providing excellent selections, guiding color and design layout for a newly built home project. They are honest & direct. Their fee structure is reasonable and they deliver a tremendous amount in return. I recommend them highly.

We undertook an ambitious whole-house remodel, and needed a lot of help with functional and visual design, as well as selecting furniture for several rooms whose dimensions would change. We had pre-existing architectural plans and a contractor hired when we brought LMK on board. We also had a firm budget, which was strained by surprise construction costs.

Leslie and Haley navigated all of these factors in a smooth and even-keeled way, and helped our project on so many fronts. They improved on the architectural plans for the kitchen and bathrooms to give us more storage and better flow to the rooms. Their CAD software helped show the spaces in 3 dimensions, which is a godsend if you have spatial reasoning challenges like I do! They found the zone of agreement between mine and my husband's tastes to come up with a color palette and textures that he and I both love. When we had analysis paralysis, they were decisive. When we needed to shave costs in certain areas, they came up with quality alternatives. When one of the kitchen cabinets was made incorrectly, Leslie stayed on the cabinetmaker to make sure the mistake was fixed. They are so meticulous about color, you can rest assured that the colors and textures in your home will be harmonious and look perfect in your home's light. Above all, LMK's staff is kind and unpretentious, and worked well with us and our contractor. They stayed engaged in the project until the very end.

Our remodeled space is beautiful, comfortable, and well-suited to the traffic that comes with 2 small children and a dog. I had (happy!) tears in my eyes when I saw the completed spaces. Our only regret is that we didn't hire LMK before we hired the architect!
