Our Design Process | Lauren Coburn Interior Architecture

Our Process

Designing a home that reflects your lifestyle is a collaborative and deeply personal journey—one we approach with great care, creativity, and over 27 years of experience.

Our process is thoughtful, inspiring, and always centered around you: your goals, your vision, and your priorities. It’s our honour to bring your dreams to life.

Understanding Comes First

Before our initial in-home consultation, we invite you to share your aspirations, inspiration, and imagery that capture your aesthetic and lifestyle. We study these details carefully to understand your design language and begin shaping a direction that reflects your individuality.

During the home walk-through, we’ll review a curated lookbook tailored specifically to you. This is where we dive deeper—discussing your likes and dislikes, refining your goals, and thoughtfully exploring your budget to ensure the creative vision aligns with your priorities.

Concept + Design

Once we have a clear vision, we begin developing floor plans, furniture layouts, and design concepts that complement both the architecture and the way you live.
‍
We present a curated selection of furnishings, materials, finishes, and palettes—ranging from showroom pieces to fully bespoke creations. Every detail is considered, and every element is intentional.
‍
Our goal is to both inspire and reassure, ensuring the design not only looks beautiful but feels entirely right.

When the Magic Begins

With selections approved, we move into production and ordering. We oversee every detail—from approving fabric dye lots and reviewing finish samples to tracking timelines and managing vendor communication. Biweekly updates are provided so you’re always informed and never left wondering.

While furniture is in production, we begin sourcing art, accessories, and final layers that bring depth and personality to your space—those finishing touches that transform a house into a home.

Not Just About the Destination

Every moment of this journey holds meaning for us. From the first conversation to the final installation, we pour our hearts into bringing your vision to life.

There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing a client light up in a space that feels deeply personal—one that reflects who they are and how they want to live.

Your home is the backdrop to your most meaningful moments. It should lift you, comfort you, and inspire you every single day.

We hold that responsibility with great care. It’s a privilege and an honor to be a part of it.
