Charlotte & Lake Norman, North Carolina
Bespoke Full-Service Interior Design · Curated for Sophisticated Living
A luxury home is not decorated — it is composed. Every material, proportion, and detail is chosen with intention. We build environments that feel inevitable: spaces that could only exist for you.
Investment Ease
Every aspect of your total investment is included in the design fee. Three easy deposits. Zero ambiguity. The luxury of more time and less stress is yours from day one.
Stress-Free Service
We source every furnishing and material on your behalf at reasonable retail prices. We place, track, and receive all orders — and arrange white-glove delivery and turnkey installation on staging day.
Exclusive Access
Access to the world’s finest designer showrooms — Baker, Boca Do Lobo, Baxter, Eichholtz, Minotti, and Smallbone — furnishings unavailable to the general public, curated exclusively for you.
Enduring Craft
We design for the long horizon. Each space we create is conceived to feel as considered and relevant in fifteen years as it does the day you walk through the door for the first time.

The Experience
We don’t just design rooms. We design the life you inhabit. Every engagement begins with a deep understanding of who you are — and ends with a space that feels entirely, unmistakably yours.
01
Discovery & Strategy
A complete, bespoke interior design service for your home — living spaces, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and every transitional space in between. We translate your vision into a cohesive, considered environment with an editorial eye and unwavering attention to detail.
02
Renovation & New Construction
For clients undertaking full renovations, new construction, or significant remodels, we provide end-to-end project management — coordinating every contractor, vendor, and tradesperson while you continue living your life uninterrupted.
03
Delivery & Installation
On staging day, we arrive, install, and style every item ourselves — placing every object, lighting every candle, and hanging every piece of art until the space is precisely as conceived. You walk in, and it is complete. That is the promise.

Principal Designer
Liza Freund
Modern Luxe Interior Design
The Atelier
Modern Luxe Interior Design is a boutique studio founded on a single conviction: that the home is the most intimate reflection of who you are. We believe that a truly exceptional interior is not assembled — it is orchestrated. Every choice, from the weight of a linen to the curve of a chair leg, is made with purpose.
Liza Freund founded Modern Luxe after years of working within the luxury hospitality and design world — absorbing the language of restraint, refinement, and service excellence that defines the finest hotels and residences. That sensibility is now available to discerning homeowners in Charlotte, Lake Norman, and beyond.
“We design for people who understand that true luxury is not about abundance — it is about absolute quality, and the freedom that comes with it.”

The Journey
Our design process is a carefully choreographed sequence of discovery, creation, and delivery — designed to be effortless for you, and exceptional in every outcome.
Phase One
An in-depth consultation to understand your lifestyle, aesthetic sensibilities, and aspirations. We study your home, your references, and the life you want to live within it.
Phase Two
A comprehensive design concept encompassing spatial layout, material palette, color system, and a curated furniture plan — presented in a formal design presentation.
Phase Three
Upon design approval, we source, specify, and order every item — furnishings, textiles, lighting, art, and accessories — through our exclusive trade partnerships worldwide.
Phase Four
We manage every vendor, contractor, and delivery timeline — resolving every logistical detail so that your involvement is reserved for approvals, not administration.
Phase Five
The culmination: our team arrives and transforms your space into the fully realized environment. You return to a home that is complete, curated, and entirely yours.

Accolades
“Working with Liza and the Modern Luxe team was an extraordinary experience. The design they created for our Lake Norman home exceeded every expectation — it feels like a bespoke hotel, perfectly tailored to our family. I will never hire another designer.”
“From the first consultation to staging day, the process was seamless. Liza understood exactly what we wanted — even when we couldn’t articulate it ourselves. Our condo looks like something out of Architectural Digest.”
“I was skeptical about the investment at first. After staging day, I walked into my home and cried. The level of care, the attention to every single detail — it’s impossible to put a price on it. I am beyond grateful.”
“Modern Luxe transformed our new construction from a house into a home. The furniture they sourced is unlike anything I’d seen in any store — and the whole process was stress-free. Truly, the easiest luxury decision we have ever made.”

The Journal
In a world of visual abundance, the most powerful design statement is often made through what is consciously withheld. We explore why the finest interiors share a common attribute: the courage to leave space unfilled.

The single most transformative element in any interior is not what you place in a room — it’s how you illuminate it. A conversation on designing with light.
