Welcome to Interior Motives

Lake Tahoe's Complete Interior Design Resource

Our Services

Whether it’s new construction, a remodel, or a renovation, Interior Motives has earned a reputation for providing a professional and personal experience and service. Interior Motives will handle all the details – from conception to completion – so you don’t have to. In fact, we will take care of everything: design, project planning, finish selections, color schemes, furnishings, layout, or any of the hundreds of other decisions that will make your interior design project a success.

We believe a successful interior design project is always a team effort. We start by helping you clarify your vision, timeline, budget, and goals. We listen and collaborate with you to achieve a plan that will ultimately give you interiors that are distinctly personal and individualized.  Additionally, we work with a vast and impressive network of the top contractors, architects, builders, tradespeople and furnishing vendors in the industry to ensure every detail of your project exceeds your expectations.

Whether your style is rustic mountain, modern mountain, transitional or somewhere in between, our experience is diverse and we have the creativity & management skills necessary for the completion of a successful project.

What our clients say…

It has been a real pleasure working with the staff of Interior Motives over the past year. They were instrumental in the design and complete remodel of a home. They actually listen to you to gain an insight into the vision you want to create. They have an abundance of resources and are aware of budget constraints. I could not be happier with the end result. I look forward to their services in the future and highly recommend them to anyone with projets, large and small.

Tim Minister

Tranquility Estate

I used Interior Motives to provide all finishes and to furnish 5 high-end vacation rental homes that I built around Lake Tahoe. My most favorite part was simply the beauty of the houses upon walking into the finished/furnished product and seeing how nice it all turned out. But a close second was how pleasant and easy it was to work cooperatively with Interior Motives: no fuss, no tensions, just a great back and forth to get to that beautiful finished product.

Owner MLR Properties and long-time homeowner in South Lake Tahoe

We had a very large rebuilt in Lake Tahoe and Interior Motives helped us with every detail with the interior design of the home, including all the furnishings for every room in the house. Interior Motives is extremely easy to work with, honest and reliable. They really took the time to get to know us and our taste. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
