WHY DESIGN MATTERS
Thoughtful, Planned Spaces Lead to Inspired Living
It’s not that you don’t have a style. It’s that you may not have defined it with certainty or learned how to develop it. Now you want to make that leap and create a home that feels like you and your family, but nothing you try is capturing your vision.
It’s not your space or you style. It’s probably your process.
Together we will take it step by step to drill down into your story and discover just what look, feel, specific design elements, colors, textures, and other preferences reflect the home you have in mind so that you can confidently transform your space. You want the place where you live to stylishly and seamlessly reflect your family’s story, taste, and lifestyle.
THE FACT THAT YOUR HOME’S LOOK + FEEL IS FRUSTRATING YOU IS NOT A REFLECTION OF YOU. IT’S SIMPLY THE RESULT OF NOT HAVING THE RIGHT TOOLS OR EXPERIENCE TO ACHIEVE YOUR STYLE, PREFERENCES, IDEAL LAYOUT & MORE
But it’s not just about pretty rooms. To elevate the way you live you need your home to effortlessly achieve the functionality that your day to day demands. That’s why our process starts with understanding how you live today — and how you want to live starting tomorrow.
We believe that the foundation of a home that serves you requires building in the framework to accommodate all the needs and must-haves in your life.
Our design studio is here to listen, learn, educate, and walk you through a thoughtful process of customizing your space to achieve the look, feel, and function to transform your place into a home that delivers the lifestyle you crave.

IN THEIR WORDS
“Lauren’s eye for style is incredible. Her designs for our primary bath are truly elegant. And the adjustments she recommended to the floor plan were transformative. Just a few minor changes got us a larger shower and lots more cabinet storage. Our biggest thrill came when, after getting the tile, faucets, and cabinets in, the Roman shades she had envisioned for this space were hung. They made the room! Meet with Lauren. She is very easy to talk to and listens to your ideas and concerns. She’ll make your space look amazing. ”

“My outdoor living area felt like a barren wasteland. My favorite moment was the meeting after Lauren had started the project and seeing how spot on all her choices were, how many options she offered, and how our budget was respected. It was just like — Done. Easy. Lauren takes all the headaches out of the many, many decisions to be made, and is so easy to work with. I smile every time I see my new space and marvel at how quickly it all came together. I can't wait to entertain here. ”
Nell B.
“Our 1919 farmhouse bathroom was outdated from the 80's. Updating while keeping the integrity of the old home was not something we were up for researching or DIYing. We didn't know what, where, or how to begin. Enter Lauren At Four Stories! We can talk for hours and have a million ideas all at once. Lauren listened to every idea and question about paint, walls, tiles, structure concerns and created a design plan, sourced all the materials and built a detailed scope of work for the renovators. Her design eye, building and construction knowledge, patience, insight, and genuine thoughtfulness is now always our voice of reason when it comes to design.”

Meet
the Designer
I know the power of spending your days in a space that is refreshing, relaxing, nurturing, and reflects your distinct life and personality.
I’m Lauren Ramsby, a former NYC newspaper editor who now edits clients’ living rooms. I left the newsroom to complete my third home renovation, a full rehab of a four-story brownstone. Inspired by the finished project, clients asked me to design their homes, I founded FOUR STORIES, and I never looked back.
I’ve been that woman with an image in her head of the ideal space — with a fresh, finished look, and a warm, cozy feel where everything looks and feels just right.
I went from inhabiting an impersonal, disjointed, and nonfunctional home to discovering the intimacy and joy that comes with creating a customized space where you feel represented, uplifted, and at peace.
In over 25 years of designing I’ve helped dozens of others do the same, achieving that feeling of a place to call home.
