Lively & Liveable

Lygia Harkins Interiors serves clients across Arizona and the U.S. in a range of capacities, from full-scale new construction, renovations, and home decoration, down to smaller decoration and remodeling projects. We specialize in crafting one-of-a-kind spaces with soul, balancing style and comfort to make everyday life at home easier and more elegant.

Lygia Harkins

Founder and principal

Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Lygia cultivated a thriving career in sales—but after ten years, she left the corporate world to pursue her true calling: interior design. She earned her interior design degree and worked at two design firms before launching her own company in 2011. 

Lygia has since built a reputation for creating exceptional homes that reflect the real lives of her clients. No fabric is ever too precious to touch, no surface too dear to sink into or enjoy with abandon. Arizona is her greatest inspiration, but she also loves traveling to New York and Los Angeles in search of artisan crafts and vintage treasures. Along with her great eye for design, Lygia brings deep empathy, rigorous attention to detail, and a sense of fun—all honed during her years in sales—to every project, executing with seamless precision (and sharp wit) from start to finish.

In 2019, Lygia expanded her services to include Design Assistant®, a design toolkit that empowers clients to execute their own projects with Lygia’s professional guidance.

 Kind Words from Clients

Testimonials
Laura

“We hired Lygia to do a full-service remodel in our home because she had designed spaces for several of my friends, and they were all thrilled. She was able to push me out of my traditional box while still honoring my style—the way it turned out has made me so happy, just seeing my house transformed. Lygia is literally our lifesaver. She managed every aspect of our project so we didn’t have to lift a finger. Instead, we were able to spend our summer traveling as a family.”

Ashley

We’ve worked with Lygia on three Design Assistant projects now, including remodels and room decorations. We originally chose Lygia because her designs are amazing, but we’ve continued to stick with her because she truly cares about her clients, customizes everything to fit our style and needs, and makes the overall experience comfortable and fun. She’s incredible at what she does and I couldn’t have asked for better results!

James

Lygia listens carefully and has a tremendous design eye. While efficiently managing our full interior and exterior remodel, she was always willing to go the extra mile and was there for us 24-7. Not only did Lygia make the design process easy and enjoyable, but she was also able to balance my wife’s and my preferences, creating the perfect blend of styles we had always hoped for.

Lauren Narciso

Senior Designer, aka “The Woman Behind the Curtain”

Fellow Phoenix native Lauren first crossed paths with Lygia at design school, where they bonded over their mutual love for classic, cohesive interiors filled with character and color. In 2014, Lauren joined Lygia Harkins Interiors, bringing her technical expertise in AutoCAD and 3D software to the firm. Her role has since grown to encompass furnishings, creating client presentations, and much more. Interior design is Lauren’s passion both in and out of work. When not crafting meticulous technical drawings or wrangling spreadsheets, she enjoys doing DIY projects at home with her husband, and son Ford, including woodworking and furniture design.
