MEET LAUREN

Lauren is the founder of Home Sweet Retreat, a virtual interior design studio and home inspiration platform rooted in the belief that beautiful homes should feel calm, livable, and attainable.

​

What started as designing our own family home became the basis of Home Sweet Retreat's approach.

 

The aesthetic you see throughout Home Sweet Retreat isn’t just a look; it’s a way of living. Lauren shares a modern classic style defined by warm neutrals, thoughtful layering, and timeless pieces, all grounded in realistic budgets that allow homes to be enjoyed through the beautiful chaos of everyday life.

 

As both a virtual interior designer and home & lifestyle influencer, Lauren helps homeowners bridge the gap between inspiration and real life. Through virtual design services, she provides clear direction, curated selections, and intentional layouts that remove the stress and bring confidence to the design process. Through her own home, she shares approachable styling ideas, affordable finds, and practical guidance that make elevated spaces feel achievable.

 

With firsthand experience balancing home, family, and real-world budgets, Lauren understands that creating a space you love can feel overwhelming. Her approach focuses on simplicity, functionality, and design choices that support everyday living without sacrificing beauty.

 

Whether through personalized virtual design or daily home inspiration, Lauren’s goal is to help homeowners create spaces that feel grounded, welcoming, and truly their own.

"Lauren was AMAZING! I'm so happy I found her shop. She was extremely helpful, kind, and responsive. I waited so long to furnish and design my room, and now it's completely finished and exactly how I wanted it. I cannot wait to use her services again for another room in my house!"

"I had a fantastic experience working with Lauren! From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that brought everything to life. What stood out most was her flexibility—every time I gave feedback, she listened carefully and adjusted the designs accordingly without missing a beat. She was also incredibly mindful of my budget, sourcing beautiful, high-quality pieces that fit within it. Even when some items became unavailable, she quickly found alternatives that matched both the aesthetic and price range. Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier with the final result—highly recommend working with her if you're looking for someone who truly cares about making your space perfect for you"
