She was always wonderful to work with. She's got a great sense of style, is professional, easy to work with, and respectful of her client's needs. I would highly recommend her for any project! **★★★★★ — Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, Dec. 2017** > A great firm to work with, and very aware of their clients' needs and budgets. We're glad to be able to work with her to meet her clients' needs. Always a pleasure to have in our Chicago showroom. **Comment from Lauren M. Smith Interiors, LLC:** > Thank you, Tufenkian! I appreciate your kind words. Your products are gorgeous and of the highest quality so I have enjoyed using your beautiful works of art in clients' homes. **★★★★★ — Leslie D., April 2017** > Lauren is quite simply wonderful. Not only does she have great aesthetic taste, but her calm sweet friendly demeanor makes her a pleasure to work with. She listens to you the client. We were pleased with all of her subcontractors too (window team, pillow team, wallpaper team, ...), it was clear in talking to them that they also enjoy working with her which I believe says a lot. > We just love all of the jobs she's done for us, and the compliments are many from those who visit. We have proudly referred her to others and though for now hour house renovation is done, I look forward to needing her again! **★★★★★ — megan131682, March 2016** > Lauren helped us convert our plain living space to a stylish and comfortable place that we could call home! She is excellent to work with and did a great job of integrating our personal style and color preferences into her design. We will bring her back for our master bathroom project soon. **★★★★★ — cindygeskin, Jan. 2016** > Working with Lauren on my 'Lakeview Revamp' renovation and redesign was a great experience! Lauren's design knowledge, industry contacts, and professional standards made the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. Lauren is honest, attentive to details, and trustworthy. She guided me through the entire process, and made sure I was kept in the loop with all necessary details. She allowed me to participate in the project when I wanted, and she was able to move forward independently when needed. There were never any surprises in the budget; I was able to maintain total control over my choices. I'm sad that my project has come to an end, although I'm thrilled to wake up in my new space every day! I recommend Lauren to friends at every chance I get, and I will look for opportunities to work with her again in the future! **★★★★★ — Jessi Langsen, July 2015** > I hired Lauren to help me with a facelift for my favorite room of the house--the kitchen. That also means it's the room I have the most opinions on, showing up to our first meeting with a full Pinterest board and no idea how to execute that vision on a relatively modest budget. > > Because Lauren took the time to get to know me through the lens of this particular room, she was able to steer me away some potentially disastrous decisions (I am not the kind of person/cook who can have marble countertops!) and guided me to some brilliant matches. Her attention to detail painted a picture for what the room could be and she incorporated the sweetest personal details. I also travel a lot for work so to have someone I trust interfacing with contractors was another huge bonus. > > In the end, we prioritized the pieces that meant the most to me (light but durable counters, custom cabinets) and she found substantial savings elsewhere. I have the kitchen I dreamed of, finished on time, and on budget. Not only is that incredibly tough to do, but I am absolutely sure it couldn't have happened without Lauren. I've recommended her to several friends already but I'd be happy to "show and tell" with just about anyone looking to make a change. **★★★★★ — Hook It Up Installation LLC, March 2015** > I have been working on projects for Lauren for years. Her designs are consistently well planned and visually attractive. In addition to her great style, Lauren is easily one of the nicest people I've ever had the opportunity to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to redefine the aesthetic of a space. ## Selected projects - [Randolph](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/randolph-pj-vj~2737889) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Two penthouses in the hottest area of Chicago, new construction, and views for days!

A: Thank you, Alana! :) The client and I were quite excited about it, too! It is by Ann Sacks - a beautiful tile showroom located in various cities through the US. It is a copper penny tile with a dark brown matching grout ever so slightly lighter than the tile itself. **Q: Love the Deck!** *(in Photo Questions)* Stunning Design! Where do the homeowners enter on the deck? I don't see anywhere where stairs would be from the ground up? A: And thank you for the compliment. It was a wonderful team effort and a lot of fun to see it take shape! **Q: What is the name of this blue and white wallpaper?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello @jbrady614, thank you for your inquiry. This is a Thibaut wallpaper and I believe it's one of the geometric or trellis patterns. Here is the company's website - enjoy! https://www.thibautdesign.com/ **Q: Patio furniture** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this patio furniture! Any insight into where it was sourced? A: Thank you, @JacksonPatterson! The sectional was sourced through Anacara and the table is Pottery Barn - still available! So sorry, I am blanking on the dining chairs! **Q: Where is the dresser from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The dresser is from Pottery Barn Kids - Belden Extra Wide Dresser. It works very well as a changing table too. @kdlinden **Q: Love the couch, chair, and rug! Where can I buy something similar?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you so very much! The couch fabric was from Sunbrella! It is both durable and stain resistant which was a fantastic choice for this family who enjoys entertaining. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
