Thoughtful Interior Design for Lake Orion Homes
Every home and every client is different. Our approach begins with understanding your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences and goals for the space. We then develop a design that balances beauty, comfort and function while feeling distinctive to you.
Homes in Lake Orion range from charming lakefront cottages to expansive custom homes on wooded acreage.. We help homeowners thoughtfully update these spaces while respecting the character of the home and creating a finished interior that feels fresh, cohesive and built to last.
Lake Orion offers a diverse mix of charming historic homes near the Village, lakefront cottages, traditional ranch and colonial homes, newer subdivisions, townhomes and expansive custom residences on wooded properties. The community’s established neighborhoods, historic downtown and abundant waterfront create opportunities ranging from thoughtful updates to complete home transformations.
We work with Lake Orion homeowners who are renovating existing homes, building new custom residences or creating a cohesive design through complete-home furnishings. Projects may include kitchens, primary suites and main-level renovations, as well as finish selections, custom cabinetry, lighting, furniture, artwork and final styling.
Based in Lake Orion, Spaces Interior Design works with clients throughout Orion Township and nearby communities including Oakland Township, Rochester, Rochester Hills and the greater Oakland County area.
Lake Orion homes often require creative solutions for maximizing lake views, improving storage, opening up compartmentalized layouts and connecting older additions with the original home. Lakefront cottages and historic homes may have smaller footprints or unique architectural details, while newer and custom homes require careful coordination of finishes, cabinetry, lighting and furnishings to ensure the entire home feels cohesive. This reflects the area’s mix of historic neighborhoods, waterfront properties and newer construction.
Our Indian Ridge Main Level project is a great example of our work in the Lake Orion area. We redesigned the kitchen and adjoining living spaces to improve the flow and functionality of the home while creating a fresh, cohesive interior tailored to the homeowners’ everyday lifestyle.
