We work with our clients to infuse their history, lifestyle and identity into curated, collected spaces.
Established in 2018, Lauren Robbins Interiors is a residential interior design firm best known for our modern take on traditional design. We work with families across the Southeast and beyond to infuse their history, lifestyle, and identity into their homes. The end result is always the creation of curated spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
Our homebase, the historic Summerville neighborhood of Augusta, GA, features incredible Georgian, Federal and Italianate style homes, rich with architectural dignity and merit. While we developed our design foundation by transforming and preserving these historic homes, we now work with clients across the nation to turn their interior design dreams into timeless realities.
LAUREN ROBBINS
Founder + Lead Designer
Lauren uses her natural eye for design to create spaces that are layered and collected, all while being reflective of her clients. She has an innate knack for spying an incredible vintage piece at a show, for knowing what unexpected touch will give balance and personality to a room, and for envisioning what color or design change will transform a space.
Lauren plays with art, antiques and natural materials to build her signature style: a traditional design with a modern edge that feels deeply personal to the owner. She loves adding personality to a traditional home with sophisticated conversation pieces.
Lauren established Lauren Robbins Interiors in 2018. Her retail shop at Summerville Studio opened in 2021. She calls the historic Summerville neighborhood in Augusta, Georgia home, living just down the road from our studio with her husband and three children.
