Lauren Czarniecki<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a curatorial eye, she fashions luxury spaces that are as comfortable and inviting as they are beautiful, marrying natural and organic elements with textured layers and touches of the unexpected. Her gallery-like approach keeps the overall palette light and fresh, allowing considered color to pop in art pieces that express personal connections with each homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing luxe, livable environments to life for nearly 15 years, Lauren cut her teeth in the industry in Los Angeles, where she interned at Kelly Wearstler and first saw how concept and inspiration can transform into tangible design. It was here where Lauren learned how to work and shop with clients, navigate the challenges of installing in a city, forge quality relationships with vendors and craftsmen, and source unique and interesting materials and products across a variety of styles and periods\u2014from emerging and established artisans and brands to vintage classics.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

But her love of design would begin long before she landed in LA, soaking in knowledge from her father who is in construction and her mother who loves history. Her childhood was spent frequenting construction sites and visiting historical homes in Savannah and Charleston while being tested on the difference between Ionic, Doric and Corinthian architectural columns. At the age of 9, she dragged her father to a Jackson Pollock exhibit and cemented her love of art and the why behind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That fascination with origin and storytelling led Lauren to study abroad while earning two bachelor\u2019s degrees\u2014one in interior design and another in art history\u2014from Florida State University, spending four summers in Florence and falling in love with the city, the people, the language and the culture. Over the years, she has seen the Ferragamo museum there go from its quiet, dark and moody splendor to its brighter, faster-paced, more modern reimagining, cultivating her appreciation for all things old and new\u2014to name just one of many Italian landmarks and traditions that have left a lasting impression on her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, travel continues to play a significant role in Lauren\u2019s interiors as the architecture and design of a place always sparks her creativity, and discovering new hotels, restaurants and retail shops inspires her to use details in new and different ways. Whether it\u2019s working on the then-Viceroy hotel in Anguilla with Kelly Wearstler\u2019s team or a residence in South Florida, across the country (think Southern California, Southamptons and Michigan) or abroad, Lauren embarks on every residential and hospitality project with the same curiosity and fervor as she had in Florence years ago\u2014backed with seasoned experience and sophisticated taste.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
