Design In A Box from LRM Interior Design
Lisa McDennon introduces LRM Interior Design’s new concept: Design In A Box.
“This is a design package that we created for the client that needs our help, but can’t afford a full contract,” explains Lisa McDennon, principal of LRM Interior Design.
All the elements a client needs to redesign a room literally come in a beautifully wrapped presentation box, and includes:
- Colorboard
- Space Plan
- Furniture selection
- Architectural details (for instance, a fireplace or built-in cabinetry)
- Window treatments
- Lighting
The box will also contain paint color swatches in two folders: one that provides a color palette for the room and another to serve as a quick reference guide for furniture and accessories.“We also include a complete shopping list of furniture and accessories,” says Lisa. “Plus, we catalog all the stores where the client can purchase the items on their own – all retail!! There aren’t any “trade only” stores.”
One of the most important parts of Design In A Box is the hour-long client meeting. Lisa explains: “We send a form ahead of time for them to fill out. It’s a place for the client to share their thoughts, goals and interests so that the LRMID team is prepared to meet the client and get the most out of the hour.”
What if they want more than one room done? “That’s the greatest thing about Design In A Box,” Lisa says. “The client can build on it, and if they want to do more than one room, they just add another box.”
“We feel that Design In A Box gives a new client a taste of what LRM Interior Design can do,” comments Lisa. “Design In A Box is affordable, so they haven’t spent a lot of money, plus they’ve got something that they can walk away with. And, we’re always here for them if they feel that they can’t do it on their own, or don’t feel comfortable. They can always come back and hire LRMID to help complete the room design.”
“It’s a way that people can test the waters without making a huge financial commitment,” Lisa explains.
Also, this way clients are involved in their home decor and feel connected. With Design In A Box, LRM Interior Design gives people a “map” and the means to achieve the look, but the client is the one who ultimately puts it together.
Don’t feel left out if you’re not a Southern California resident. “We can design remotely,” says Lisa. “All we need are some photos of the room and its dimensions sent to us. We can then do the meeting over the phone.” LRM Interior Design would then pop the beautifully wrapped Design In A Box in the post, and the client could be anywhere in the world!
Design In A Box is priced at $750 a room. (Kitchens and master baths are priced separately.) Call LRM Interior Design today for details.

Seems like a great tool to help someone that would like to begin a project of their own, but may not have the experience to create a plan that results in the desired effect.
I think this is a great idea. The biggest problem many people have with design and putting all the elements together or creating something that looks good within the context of their tastes. With the design in a box, it allows the designer to clarify and create their vision, and the homeowner to save money by doing the work themselves and shopping around for pieces that fit the design idea. Also great gift for those with a new home.
I love this!! We just got a new place and have to gut the entire kitchen, so we wouldn’t be in a great spot to splurge for full design work, but this is great. Gotta talk to Jan once we move in. Love LRM!
