Does La-Z-Boy Really Offer Free Interior Design Services?

La-Z-Boy Southeast | December 30, 2025

Yes, La-Z-Boy offers complimentary interior design services with every purchase—and it’s genuinely free, not a gimmick. You’ll work with a degreed interior designer through a four-step process: an in-store consultation to discuss your style and budget, an optional in-home visit to assess your actual space, a 3D room plan that shows exactly how your furniture will look in your home, and finally, full-service delivery where trained professionals place everything precisely where it belongs. There’s no minimum purchase required, no hidden fees, and the service is available whether you’re furnishing a single room or your entire home.

Working with a professional designer transforms furniture shopping from an overwhelming guessing game into an organized, enjoyable process. Instead of wondering if that sofa will actually fit or if those colors will clash with your walls, you get expert guidance from someone who understands scale, traffic flow, and how to make a room feel cohesive.

Here’s exactly what to expect when you work with La-Z-Boy Southeast’s design service.

The In-Store Consultation: Where Your Vision Starts Taking Shape

Your first meeting happens in the showroom, and this is where your designer gets to know you. Not just your style preferences, but how you actually live in your space.

Expect questions like: Who uses this room? Do you have kids or pets? Do you entertain often? What about your current furniture frustrates you? What makes you feel most at home?

These aren’t just small talk—they’re the foundation of a design that actually works for your life. A designer might steer someone with toddlers toward durable, easy-clean fabrics. They’ll suggest deeper seating for someone who loves to curl up with a book. They’re thinking about your daily reality, not just what looks good in a catalog.

As you walk through the showroom together, your designer will point out pieces that align with what you’ve shared. This isn’t about pushing you toward the priciest options—it’s about narrowing down thousands of choices to the ones that genuinely make sense for your situation.

The In-Home Visit: Seeing Your Space Through a Designer’s Eyes

After your showroom meeting, your designer will offer to visit your home. This step is optional, but it’s where the magic really happens.

A showroom gives you ideas. Your actual home gives your designer critical information they can’t get any other way. How does natural light hit the room? Where are the outlets? Is there a weird angle that makes furniture placement tricky? What architectural details should you play up or downplay?

Your designer will bring fabric samples and product suggestions specifically pulled for you. You’ll see how colors look in your actual lighting, how textures feel against your existing décor, and whether that seemingly perfect sofa scale translates to your specific room.

This is also when designers catch potential problems before they become expensive mistakes. That sectional you loved in the store? Your designer might notice it would block a doorway or overwhelm your space. Better to know now than after delivery.

The 3D Room Plan: Taking the Guesswork Out

After gathering all this information, your designer creates a 3D rendering of your room—modeled precisely to your home’s dimensions and layout.

This isn’t a rough sketch. It’s a detailed, to-scale visualization showing exactly where each piece of furniture will sit, how traffic will flow through the space, and how everything looks together.

For most people, this is the “aha” moment. Furniture shopping involves a lot of imagination—trying to picture how individual pieces will work together in a space you’re not currently standing in. The 3D plan removes that mental gymnastics. You can see it, assess it, and make confident decisions.

Your designer will schedule a time to present the plan in person, walking you through the layout and answering questions. Want to swap that accent chair for an ottoman? Move the sofa to the opposite wall? This is the time to make those changes, before anything gets ordered.

Full-Service Delivery: From Plan to Reality

Once you’re happy with the plan, the furniture gets ordered and your delivery gets scheduled. You’ll get a projected delivery window so you can plan accordingly.

Here’s where La-Z-Boy’s delivery service stands apart from most furniture retailers: the delivery crew isn’t just dropping boxes at your door. They’ve been trained by the interior designers themselves.

They know exactly where each piece goes based on your 3D plan. They’ll place furniture, make adjustments, and make sure everything looks right before they leave. No guesswork on your part. No heavy lifting. No wondering if you put things in the optimal spots.

You can decide whether you want to watch the transformation or step out for the big reveal when you come home. Either way, you’re walking into a room that looks exactly like the vision you and your designer created together.

Why This Service Exists (And Why It’s Actually Free)

The question most people ask: what’s the catch?

There isn’t one, really. La-Z-Boy Southeast includes design services because they’ve learned that when customers work with designers, they’re happier with their purchases, less likely to make returns, and more confident in their decisions.

It’s not about upselling you to more expensive furniture—it’s about making sure you buy the right furniture the first time. A confident customer who loves their purchase is better for everyone than someone who’s unsure and hesitant.

The service is available regardless of budget or project size. Whether you’re buying a single recliner or furnishing your entire home, you get the same level of professional design guidance.

Getting Started

If you’re ready to work with a designer, you can schedule an appointment online or visit any La-Z-Boy Southeast location in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia.

Come prepared with inspiration photos if you have them, but don’t worry if you don’t. Your designer will help you define your style, even if you’re not sure what to call it. “I just know what I like when I see it” is a perfectly acceptable starting point.
