Interior Design for How You Actually Want to Live
Full-service residential interior design in Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, and across the Bay Area — from a single room to a whole-home transformation.
What Lasolo Design Brings to Your Home
Interior design at its best is not about imposing a style — it is about understanding how a person or family wants to live, then creating a space that makes that life feel effortless. At Lasolo Design, we begin every project with careful listening: what do you love, what isn't working, how do you use each room, and what does the home need to accomplish for your daily life?
Lana Solovieva, our principal designer, brings a global perspective honed by decades of travel — drawing on Scandinavian minimalism, the warmth of Mediterranean interiors, Japanese attention to material and light, and the artisan craft of Indonesian and Southeast Asian design. The result is interiors that feel curated rather than decorated, and personal rather than generic.
We serve homeowners across Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, Atherton, Redwood City, and the broader Peninsula. Whether you need a single focused room refresh or a complete renovation-to-install transformation, we offer the right level of service for your project.
What We Offer
Full-Service Design
From initial concept through final installation, we manage every detail — space planning, material and furniture sourcing, vendor coordination, and installation. You make the decisions; we manage the complexity.
Design Consultation
A focused session for homeowners who need expert direction on a specific challenge: a room that isn't working, a palette decision, or how to approach a renovation. You leave with an actionable plan.
Renovation Design
We lead the design process for remodels — selecting finishes, specifying cabinetry, tile, and lighting, and serving as the design liaison with your contractor. Bring us in early for the best results.
How a Project Unfolds
Discovery
We learn how you live, what you love, and what the space needs to accomplish.
Concept
Space plan, palette, material direction — a clear design vision before any purchases.
Sourcing
We select and procure furniture, lighting, art, and materials from our trade network.
Installation
We manage delivery, installation, and final styling — white-glove throughout.
Reveal
Your completed space, styled and photographed. We fine-tune until it is exactly right.
A Global Eye, Local Roots
Lana Solovieva's journey — from Moscow to Canada, then to California in 2013 — informs every design decision. Nearly two decades in residential real estate gave her an instinct for what buyers respond to. Formal design training, combined with extensive international travel, gave her a visual vocabulary that draws from the world's best interiors.
At Lasolo Design, we do not have a signature style we replicate across projects. We have a commitment to quality, proportion, and materials — and we design around your life, not a portfolio image.
Where We Design
Our interior design work is concentrated on the Peninsula and South Bay — Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, Atherton, Redwood City, San Carlos, Mountain View, and Los Altos. For exceptional projects, we consider other Bay Area and Northern California locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the interior design process work at Lasolo Design?
We begin with a discovery consultation to understand how you live, what you love, and what the space needs to accomplish. From there we develop a design concept — space plan, palette, material selections — before moving into sourcing, procurement, and installation. We manage the process end-to-end so you don't have to coordinate vendors, deliveries, or timelines.
What does a full-service interior design engagement cost in the Bay Area?
Project investment varies significantly by scope, home size, and finish level. A single-room refresh might start around $10,000–$20,000 in design fees and furnishings. A full home with custom selections, renovation coordination, and extensive sourcing is typically $50,000 and up. We are transparent about fees from the first conversation — we charge a design fee plus a markup on furnishings and materials we source on your behalf.
Can you help with a remodel or renovation, not just furnishings?
Yes. Lasolo Design can lead the design process for full renovations — selecting finishes, working with your contractor, specifying custom cabinetry, tile, countertops, and lighting. We do not do construction ourselves, but we serve as the design lead and liaison so the project is cohesive from start to finish.
What design styles does Lasolo Design specialize in?
Lana Solovieva's design perspective is informed by decades of international travel — Scandinavian minimalism, Mediterranean warmth, Japanese simplicity, and the warmth of Indonesian craft. In practice, our projects tend toward a sophisticated, globally-informed aesthetic: clean lines, natural materials, and carefully layered texture. We do not impose a signature style — we design to how you want to live.
Do you work on new construction or only existing homes?
Both. We work on existing homes — from a single room to a whole-house transformation — and on new construction where we are brought in during the build phase to specify finishes, fixtures, and built-ins before the walls close. Starting earlier always yields better results.
