Based in Des Moines, Iowa, Morris Lare Interior Design is a full-service residential interior design firm specializing in architectural renovations, new custom homes, and fully furnished interiors.
We work with discerning clients across Iowa and beyond, guiding projects from early planning through the finishing touches with clear communication and thoughtful oversight.
Led by Alicia Held-Morris and Jillian Lare, our team brings experience, structure, and creativity to complex residential projects.
We design homes with depth, character, and intention. Here’s a glimpse at a few recent projects that reflect our layered style and thoughtful process.
We lead residential design projects from early planning through final installation. Our role is to simplify complex decisions, manage the details, and help create homes that feel complete, functional, and personal.
We often join projects early to help shape the overall direction and assemble the right team, including the architect, builder, and landscaper. We lead with clear communication and practical guidance, so decisions feel informed and the process stays manageable.
We design spaces with attention to proportion, materiality, and detail. Through custom cabinetry, architectural elements, and carefully selected furnishings, we create interiors that feel personal, cohesive, and enduring.
We manage finish selections, furnishings, and installation from start to finish. You’ll review the key decisions, while we handle the many details required to bring everything together, reducing your overwhelm and ensuring the final result feels complete.
Jillian, Alicia, and their team were a joy to work with and made the build a fun, exciting experience. We are so grateful to have had the professional expertise of Morris Lare to help us design and furnish our new home. We have been in our home for almost two years, and we wouldn’t change a thing. We LOVE it and LOVE entertaining in it! If you are remodeling or building a new home, we highly recommend Morris Lare.
We take on a limited number of full-home projects and complete room designs each year to provide a high level of service and attention to detail.
If you’re planning a renovation, custom home, or full furnishing project, we’d love to hear more.
