OUR COLLABORATIVE PROCESS

The Four Stories Experience

01.

DISCOVER

We get to know you and your space personally and purposefully. We ask questions, listen, and understand the life you’re imagining in your space. And we compose a scope of work encompassing your wish list.

02.

DEVELOP

We turn initial ideas into a package of formal design concepts, palettes, materials and finishes. We source every fixture, furnishing, and detail and create floor plans and renderings. And we present a design with every detail sewn up for your feedback and final approval.

03.

DELIVER

We oversee the execution process of every detail — project managing and troubleshooting — and deliver the transformation we’ve planned for a result that exceeds expectations.

Testimonials

“Lauren took what would otherwise be overwhelming and stress-inducing and made it an enjoyable and adventurous process. The result is our warm, bright, cozy, and charming new home – a perfect reflection of who we are as individuals and as a new family.”
— D & G

“I’ve always considered Lauren my go-to person. She has impeccable taste while being practical and solution-oriented. She has a particular gift for spatial planning. With the first project my husband and I brought to her, she helped us make sense of our rambling country house, creating a cohesive floor plan that suited our lifestyle and needs.”
— S & J

“Lauren really listened to us. Not only that, she asked all the right questions. What do you do in here? Who uses this space the most? When do you hang out in here? She took all of that information in and her designs reflected that she was totally tuned in.”
— M & A

FAQs

  • In addition to experience pulling a variety of elements into cohesive and compelling combinations suited to a client’s specific preferences and likes, interior designers have resources and deep knowledge relating to home goods including materials, furnishing, finishes, appliances and accessories as well as architectural finishes and quality workmanship to be your project manager onsite.

  • We support clients through full-scale home renovations, restorations, and builds. We’re experienced in coming on from the start, creating design documents, and collaborating with your team of contractors and/or architects to manage all the design details of large projects.

  • Think of us as an experienced, trusted advocate dedicated to what matters most to you. We’re there to help you achieve the personalized home you crave. Our job is to make your home interior serve you style-wise and function-wise. We believe inspired spaces suited just for you can propel your every day. Unlike a contractor or an architect, we don’t build out the house we build out the flow, feel, and function of the home.

  • If you’re seeking help with improvements to your home design, we are 99% sure we can deliver for you. Contact us and we can discuss just how to facilitate your needs.

  • Step One is to reach out via our Inquiry Form. We’ll be in touch to schedule a Hello! Call where we can discuss your project and see if we’re a good fit. From there, we’d schedule either a paid site visit or video walkthrough of your space as the next step of our initial discovery. Moving forward together, we’d work toward a confirmed scope of work and start to consider the timeline and budget. Once we have all the input we need, we can present you with a proposal with estimated design costs and time frames. Once we have a signed proposal and contract as well as a deposit, we get to work.

  • Every service is available to you. We take on remote design projects which factor in travel as needed. Smaller home update projects — like The Edit — can typically be fully remote. And every 1:1 Consult is remote.

  • For Full Service Home Design we typically sign on clients two to four months in advance of a project start date. rojects take anywhere from three months to two years based on the scope of the project.
