Based in Scottsdale, Arizona · Designing in Chicago, Idaho, Aspen, Sun Valley & California
Your home should be a haven
Interiors by Lauren Rautbord, principal designer
Paul Lauren Designs is known for serene, uncluttered spaces that are sumptuously livable. The idea that home should be a place where you feel peaceful and happy is at the heart of Lauren Rautbord's style: luxurious fabrics, neutral palettes and furnishings full of warmth and personality.
Always sophisticated but never fussy, Lauren blends vintage and contemporary pieces, believes less is more, and designs every room to embrace its view, from desert landscapes to urban lakefronts.

Personal direction, start to finish
Lauren is personally involved in every PLD home. Her first job is to understand what you truly want and need; her second, to guide you through the realities of the marketplace and working with contractors; her third, to translate it all into a customized experience that is fun, fair and rewarding.
The studio intentionally limits the number of projects it takes on, so that every home receives Lauren's direction from beginning to end.
