Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design

I was very nervous and naive about extensive remodeling as a first time home buyer. When I first walked through my home with Lauren at the end of summer 2022, she made me feel very comfortable and confident in her talent and expertise. I also felt that she really understood the aesthetic I was aiming for and saw the potential in my home. My project ended up being very difficult due to an unprofessional contractor not at all selected by or affiliated with Lauren Jacobsen Design. Lauren was patient, advocated for me the whole way through, and reassured me that my complaints with that contractor were valid. She was a bright spot during the project and is the only reason why I didn't give up entirely on the work. Not all of the design plan is complete yet (again, no fault of Lauren), but I love what she helped me start and really transformed my home. Her vision is beautiful and unique and I highly recommend Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design. Can't wait to work with her again. Thank you, Lauren!

Lauren is such a pleasure to work with! It is always a treat to see her walk through our showroom doors and I get to see what new project she is working on. She is thoughtful in her design style and an excellent communicator throughout the entire design process. I would recommend working with Lauren as a designer and industry partner.

Working with Lauren on various projects has been a wonderful experience. Highly recommended, she will go above and beyond to ensure that you will have the best experience. Thank you Lauren!

I love Lauren. She is an excellent designer and has a very creative vision. She really listened and then produced what I wanted in ways I had not thought of. Her use of color is outstanding. She really understands the relationships between pieces in a room, and blocks of color. She is also very talented at purchasing and arranging accessories to refresh a room and bring it to life. My Arcadia home was looking a bit gray and white generic, and she transformed every room that she worked on with patterns, colors and thoughtful touches with art and smaller pieces. She is also a lot of fun to work with! Joanne G

Lauren is amazing. Her ability to come up with concepts that fit with what we need, while also stretching us to consider things we would never have thought of on our own, have made us so happy with the work she has done so far on our home. She is very professional, detail-oriented, and a great friend and partner. Highly recommend!

Lauren is literally the best interior designer ever! She is the consummate professional; trustworthy, detail-oriented, an absolute pleasure to deal with and incredibly talented. Not only does Lauren source products within agreed-up-budgets, but they are of the highest standard and complement the overall look and feel of the space. Her innate sense of style and creativity make her ideas both original and classic. The teams she works with for building and installation are equally top-notch, a testament to her long-standing relationships in the industry. Twice, Lauren has undertaken a full design renovation for me, from bathrooms to kitchen to living and office rooms, She has provided an elegant, modern and sleek backdrop for my media appearances that has been a fantastic fit to this environment of more people working from home on Zoom and Skype. There is nothing that is too big or too small for her to take on and transform. I highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren has impeccable taste. When I took her to see the house my husband and I are building she instantly made us aware of the interior design elements that we had been missing and told me how the outside should look to make it distinctive from regular ranch homes. I appreciated that because I was having trouble focusing on the right style. Lauren has wonderful ideas and she has been a delight to work with.

Lauren is a true design pro. Her color sense is amazing and she always delivers a great lifestyle for her clients. Ive been working with her as a vendor for over 15 years and she is always attending the latest and greatest events to bring the most current trends to her clients without being trendy. Hiring Lauren is a good investment and she wont let you make costly mistakes.

I met Lauren through Houzz. I had been browsing the website for a few years and when the time was right, I knew I would find the right interior designer here. I contacted several designers, arranged onsite meetings. When Lauren came to the onsite meeting, we immediately clicked. I had a good feeling she understood exactly what I wanted. She articulated her ideas fully even before I hired her without fearing that I would take her ideas to someone else. Lauren and I collaborated on the project and after decisions were made, she ensured that the appliances, hardware, lighting, etc. were ordered and delivered on time so as not to delay the contractors and work proceeded smoothly. Whenever there was an issue like wrong size washer and dryer delivered, she dealt with it immediately. The initial project was for the kitchen and laundry only, but I expanded the project to include family room, living room, dining room and guest bathroom. She blended classic and contemporary styles so beautifully that the pieces will never go out of style for many years to come. Lauren was easy to get hold of via phone or email and responded to emails immediately or within a couple of hours. She was very knowledgeable and over the course of the project sometimes steered me politely away from some of the choices I thought were good. At the conclusion of the project she was right of course! Lauren’s personality was easy and lovely to work with, but she was also firm with the contractors when needed until everything was done exactly how she wanted it. After several months on the project she has become like a member of the family and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Lauren is an absolute pleasure to work with. We hired Lauren to help us with her design expertise for our new home, we thought we would need about 20 hours of her time, little did we know that once we will start working with her, we would want her opinion on EVERYTHING! Lauren just got us, she got our taste, our vision, she was always on time to every appointment, she worked hard to get us what we wanted and at the price we wanted. She always suggested multiple choices when it came to lighting, hardware, floors, etc. our project is nowhere near done, but one thing is for sure, we will continue working with her long after we have completed the remodel.

I have been working with Lauren since May of 2018, and during this short period of time, we have established a great professional relationship, mainly due to Lauren's strong vision for interior design, and self discipline for perfection.

Lauren is a true and engaging artist. She creates a breathtaking mix of modern and traditional elements, and high design with elements from nature. Through this vernacular she tells the story of her clients ensuring that each design is a unique expression and shines with a sense of innate brilliance and rightness. I cannot recommend her enough!

Lauren redesigned the floor plan for my home and created an open concept for the kitchen and dining area that turned out awesome! From the beginning we were on the same page in terms of style and direction of the project. She really cares about client needs and has a flair for making things look stunning.

I've had the pleasure of experiencing a number of Lauren's projects and can say without hesitation that she has impeccable taste and a keen eye for details and how they fit into an overall design. I recommend Lauren highly.

Working with Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design was a very collaborative and creative approach to a complete makeover of a guest room from every detail. Lauren had a wonderful way to mix materials in order to create a very sophisticated room, but one that felt comfortable and not stuffy. Lauren is a stickler to details and oversees all vendors with a keen eye for quality. She really listens to what you envision and offers up very keen insight to bring your vision to life! Extremely pleased with the outcome.

We can't say enough about Lauren's expertise, her professionalism, and her design ideas! She helped us update our entire house including a complete remodeling of our master bath. The work is high quality and Lauren was careful to consider our budget. We are extremely pleased with the results and we enjoyed working with Lauren throughout the project! My husband and I are not creative types, but Lauren was able to define our style and provide us with wonderful choices for every room. We highly recommend Lauren!

I absolutely loved working with Lauren. We had been in our house for 8 years, and our home had gone through baby and toddler phases x3! Oh and two dogs - it was time for a redesign! Lauren came in and pulled together great quality pieces, and worked with our "young" family style to create a functional and beautiful design. I still get compliments from my friends that my living room looks like "its out of a magazine". Our house is stunning and it's all due to Lauren's work and design!

Lauren Jacobsen is such a pleasure to work with. I am one of the Lifestyle Advisors at PIRCH [Glendale]. We sell appliances and plumbing fixtures and every time we have a project together the transition from 'meet and greet' to 'delivery' is always a pleasant experience. Lauren's knowledge and experience with home remodel makes it a breeze for me and her clients. I am very thankful as I would highly recommend Lauren to any home project! Looking forward to our next happy client!

Lauren is a class act designer. She is a true professional and I would recommend her to anyone searching for designer. She has amazing taste and I love her sense of style. She is an expert in all areas of design.

We had a great experience with Lauren as our designer! Now we have two beautiful new bathrooms that we enjoy using every day. Lauren led us through every step of the process. She created a great design and then she went out with us to pick out tile and marble and plumbing fixtures, but she took care of all the nitty gritty of the technical details and ordering. Her knowledge, expertise and attention to detail were very reassuring. When all the ordered items arrived she went through every box thoroughly checking to make sure everything was present and correct and undamaged. She was in constant communication with us and the contractors and made regular visits to check up on the progress. We were never afraid to ask questions and would always get a quick reply to emails, and she was always very accommodating if we wanted to change or make small tweaks to anything in the design. Above all Lauren was very friendly throughout the process and helped make it a fun adventure.

We hired Lauren Jacobsen to guide us with a comprehensive house "refresh" with the focus on updating our kitchen. I've worked with other design professionals before, but my experiences did not leave me happy and in fact , left me with reservations about hiring anyone again. Lauren is a rare combination of a professional who is both organized and detail oriented -- as well as creative! She arrived with a notebook full of terrific ideas. She was solution and budget conscious, unlike others I worked with, and she always took my taste and thoughts into consideration. She addressed the fears and reservations I had with previous designers put together a budget with a detailed breakdown of project costs, etc. I honestly don't believe I would have had as wonderful an outcome on my project had we not hired Lauren, and I would heartily recommend her to anyone in need of a professional with great taste and ability to execute it well!

I've worked with Lauren for several years now and am constantly impressed by her professionalism and sincere love for what she does and who she works with. She has a way of tuning into her clients desires and creating the perfect escape or retreat, something which so many of us need help with. I would recommend her services to my clients with confidence! She is truly an artist and has a heart of gold.

I'm a tile showroom who works with Lauren, and its a pleasure to work with such a professional like her. She makes it fun and easy. I'll highly recommend her to any one who wants to make designing there home look great, and have a awesome experience doing doing it.

If there were more than five stars, I would have used every one - it would be impossible to give a recommendation that is high enough. Lauren designed two bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a bar/pantry cupboard area. She came up with incredible ideas that not only worked beautifully, but were exactly what I wanted but could not have dreamed of in a lifetime. She is professional, intelligent, observant, a perfectionist, listens intently and uses what she hears, and very importantly, is a delight to be with. When Lauren is around, it is fun. Things inevitability go wrong from time to time with contractors and subs, but Lauren was on top of it and dealt with the issues with such aplomb and graciousness that it was a life lesson. Project not yet finished, so no photos, but would be happy to submit them at a later date.

I had the great pleasure of working with Lauren last year. I hired her with a crazy timeline and many ideas of what I wanted. She not only met the deadline, but she consolidated all my ideas and produced an absolutely perfect result. She was supportive and surpassed my expectations! I am NOT exaggerating...I am getting ready to hire her again!! You can contact me through Lauren at any time, I am happy to tell you why I highly recommend her!

Lauren had a very small budget and less than a week to pull together a new look for my offices. She jumped on the project immediately, and suggested design ideas to spruce things up. Her painting, wall art and accessories brought the space to life in a way I had never imagined. Plus, her team of professionals worked fast and did great work. She has done work for us previously at our home and we trust her for great ideas and execution!

Lauren Jacobsen has not only the extraordinary artistic talent for envisioning a client's needs and tastes, but also the insight, intuition and understanding it requires to distill all of that into an actual, cohesive, workable plan that the client doesn't just "like," but "loves." She was concerned throughout the process with MY wants, needs and tastes, not her own. She never hesitated to assert herself, without having to be prodded or cajoled by my having to say, "please, you're not going to hurt my feelings, what do you think?". To the contrary, she never hesitated to suggest, kindly and gently, "this will not work," or "this might be better," or "what about this?". In other words, I didn't need to have to beg her to be frank; she just was. I needed her looking out for me, especially in areas in which I had no experience, and she did. To me, that's a dream designer. She is also not hard-sell. Although her practice can provide beginning-to-end oversight, if you like, it is not required. We came up with a plan with her that we were happy with, including selections on all kinds of things--design, floor plan, tile, colors, cabinets, appliances, hardware--and she was more than happy for us to have a contractual arrangment that provided ONLY for those things, and nothing further. In other words, beginning-to-end oversight was an option, but not a requirement that was begrudgingly conceded if it wasn't needed. She was happy to provide whatever we needed. She is a customer-service-oriented designer. In other words, we got the impression, you can have as minimal--or as maximally expansive, hands-on--involvement on her part as you like. Your choice, the customer. Who could ask for more. Bottom line: We couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended. Five stars, hands down.

I haven't had any work done by this design firm, however, have been admiring all of the work I've viewed on the Houzz website and love all of it.

Lauren Jacobsen is highly professional. She has provided us with many terrific ideas and she truly comes across as someone who is passionate about design. She has been a real pleasure to work with (even though the same can probably not always be said of us)! We hired Lauren to help us decorate our living and dining rooms. We now have new and reupholstered chairs and a sofa, many pieces of new wooden living room furniture, a new rug, an upholstered bench, lamps, knick knacks, pillows, and many pieces of new artwork. Lauren has been very accommodating to our design desires and has always very tactfully and with good nature gently nudged us forward toward project completion. She has been very sensitive to our budget constraints. She seems to have an endless pool of resources available to meet our various needs: Computerized design plans, upholsterers, furniture makers and retailers, rug professionals, art suppliers, art framers, even professional art hangers. We highly recommend hiring Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design.

A solid professional – Lauren has great style and grace. She listens to her clients and has great patience. She knows about trends and is savvy to the business but she also know how to mix a traditional look with a modern flair and she is able to answer my questions. I can recommend her without hesitation.

We've seen Lauren's work previously and love her design style(s). We recently had some reconstruction done to our small, old home and realize the mistake in not contacting her and working with her during the construction, a HUGE error! We appreciate and LOVE what she's been able to design, after the fact. She gets the job done well and delivers what we ask of her!!! p.s. - we aren't done, there's always room for more. Susan & Ben D.

Our firm has worked with Lauren on quite a few projects in the past 5 years. The one that stands out the most to me is the whole house remodel in Beverly Hills. Lauren selected paint colors, tile , cabinetry as well as all the furniture and pictures on walls! Everything came together spectacularly. Lauren exceeded the clients expectations. 5 star!! Mike Ross, CEO Addition Building Design, Inc.

Lauren Jacobson really knows what she's doing. She is very professional, and also shows a personal understanding of our frustration with making decisions about color and fabrics that work together. We were very appreciative and pleased with her background and training which provided the tools to give us the help we needed.

I hired Lauren to help me rework my live/work space and bring a cohesiveness to an otherwise random amalgam of interesting artifacts, curios and worldly collectings. Her ability to do all of this (and more) in a way that never compromised the "me-ness" of my space was truly impressive. Her absolute genius with colors left my new and improved space feeling more expansive and "alive" and garners compliments from nearly every client who steps foot through the door. I would strongly recommend Lauren to anyone looking to make a living space spectacular. She is, quite plainly, amazing.

Lauren is wonderful to work with, available to work by email as well, and has great taste. She made our backyard and patio remodel far nicer than it would have been just working with the landscaper. We shopped together, she had a terrific sense of style, color and proportion and yet was interested in what I liked as well. Lauren has corporate design training and it shows. I hope to work with her again. I recommend her highly.

I have worked with Lauren on two homes. Due to my budget I have used her for rooms, including our back patio. She makes everything work with an affordable price. I would recommend Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design without reservation.
