LA MAISON OTTO
INTERIOR DESIGN
01 About
La Maison (read "Home" in French) Otto seek to create balance in our lives, the space that is most significant is the one where we spend the most time: home.
Growing up in a family of real estate entrepreneurs, she realised that every house or apartment lacked that extra touch of soul, that inexplicable " coup de coeur" that we are looking for. Inspired by her travels, she decided to renovate her own apartment in Paris, married a multi business entrepreneur, and after graduating in Interior Design from City & Guilds in London and from the Designers Studio in Dubai, she changed my life when she moved to the UAE. She now offers a wide range of interior services.
As a mother, her designs marry functional but aesthetically pleasing interiors with timeless style to reflect her clients' personalities and lifestyles. As an investor's wife, she also has expertise in optimising spaces and rentability for her clients who seek to rent or flip their property. Laurene's French touch will bring novelty to your interior.
She serves clients internationally through e-design services. Her expertise will save you time and make the process easy and stress-free for you.

03 What is E-Design & how it works
E-Design is virtual interior design. You get the same level of expertise, the same one-on-one interaction, the same concentrated focus on creating a unique and personalized space, but with much more convenience....
Virtual interior design doesn’t require taking time off work to meet with a designer in person. You get to avoid designer’s travel costs, it's also more affordable, a quick turnaround without pressure timelines, and no hidden costs as we have flat fees.

Once you submit this information, we will contact you within 1-2 business days to schedule a 30-40 minute conference call where we can discuss your decorating needs further.
3. Provide measurements
Once we have touched base, we will ask you to send measurements of the space using our convenient Measuring Guide Template as well as any furniture items, including accessories you would like to keep in the final design.
4. Take photos of the space
To help us get a better understanding of the architectural nature of the space and a visual of the room, we will ask that you send over between 3-4 photos to help with planning. (ie: Windows & Walls; Fireplace Walls; Ceilings; flat, sloped, etc).
5. Payment due
Once you have submitted all the information we will collect payment via the Paypal Shopping Cart and we can begin. Design Services Fees will be required up front prior to commencing any Design Project.
