Kicking off another year around the sun and sharing the final highlight of 2025. With meaningful plans ahead for the firm, it felt like the right moment to mark a new chapter with new portraits.
I’m excited by what’s in our pipeline and what we’ll be sharing in the year ahead. Even in a challenging year, we stayed focused on the work itself: designing thoughtful spaces and helping clients create homes that truly support their lives.
Every one of our projects is rooted in the belief that great design connects us to something larger: history, memory, and a sense of place. I remain deeply committed to honoring this philosophy as the foundation of our work.
I’m looking ahead to 2026 with clarity and confidence for what’s next at Studio Laloc.

For all of those who have found us recently or have been here a while, we want to thank you for being here.
A little about our firm:
Founded by Lauren Lothrop Caron, Studio Laloc is an interior and architectural design firm with offices in Seattle and New York City. We specialize in full-service design for renovations and new builds, handling every phase from concept to completion.
Our passion lies in old homes and storied interiors—bringing beauty back to historic properties or creating new homes that feel just as special and full of character. With a focus on detail, we layer thoughtful design into both architecture and furnishings.
We believe homes should be livable, compelling, and timeless. Our work blends nostalgia with modern formality, mixing antiques with modern heirlooms, and layering color, pattern, and texture. Above all, we create spaces that reflect the unique sensibilities of our clients.
Cheers, Studio Laloc.

I am proud to say that the most favorite image in our feed this year was of my own kitchen! I’m looking forward to having the rest of this room photographed along with the rest of our home this year. It’s been a long time coming but I think we have finally made it to the point where I’m comfortable with it. Of course we still have more work to do… our homes are never truly finished. But in this line of work, in order to justify the expense for photos you have to get to a place where you feel like there are enough rooms be able to articulate story we’re trying to tell.
I’m often asked about the paint color on the cabinets. It’s a custom color inspired by a Farrow and Ball color called French Gray. It leans a bit more green in this photo and quite frankly I think it has less warmth to it than the real French Gray. As for the rest of the room I really wanted to create a marriage of warms and cools. Pairing the cooler toned countertops and cabinets with warm metal finishes and warm walls. While I’ve leaned into the juxtaposition of warms and cools, I’ve made a point to keep all the finishes, colors and materials slightly muddy and muted, which creates a sense of harmony. Anything bright or highly saturated just wouldn’t feel right.
I wanted to express my gratitude, we’ve had such a great year (ups and downs) but all together it has resulted in growth. We’ve been so lucky to work with such amazing people from our colleagues to our clients. This community is wonderful and has been such a supportive place. Farewell to 2022 and cheers to 2023! See you all on the other side.

Monday mornings in this charming bedroom have got to be sweet. The roses next to this window are real! They’re creating their own little bedside bouquet.
Hope you all have a great start to your week!

A few photos of my mother’s library and TV room in Connecticut that I snapped back in 2018 after helping her with a little tidy-up and restyling. We brought in two rugs, layering a smaller patterned rug over the seagrass to help ground the room and add a bit more warmth.
The blue velvet Baker sofa was a secondhand find that I told my parents they absolutely had to buy. Such a good one, and somehow it didn’t even need reupholstery.
One of my favorite details in the house has always been the curved corners throughout the original main floor. Back in the 1870s, the house was moved about half a mile from its original building site, and during that process the corners were rounded. The previous owners later commissioned these curved bookshelves to fit the room, and they’ve been one of my favorite features since childhood.
Most of the remaining furniture, artwork, and antiques were collected over many years by my mother. Much of the upholstery was made from fabrics she sourced at auctions and remnant sales, which has always been one of her greatest talents. She is the OG deal finder, dating back to the very pre-internet and definitely pre-Facebook Marketplace days.
She took me all over New England and the tri-state area shopping at Brimfield, high-end antique shows, tiny antique stores, flea markets, and thrift shops to create a home that has always felt deeply personal, warm, comfortable, and beautiful. Looking back now, I can see just how much those trips shaped my eye and my love for collected interiors.
Happy Mother’s Day in every form motherhood can take. To those raising children, those who have chosen not to, those longing to, those who have adopted, those whose families are made up of animals, those grieving loss, and those carrying complicated feelings today. Mother’s Day can hold a lot of joy, but also a lot of heartache, and I want to honor both.

My favorite moments from Milan Design Week (in no particular order.
1. Alcova a Baggio Military Hospital - Alcova gives independent designers and artisans the opportunity to show their work. Additionally the juxtaposition of the historic venue with the contemporary design was 🙌.
2. Alcova a Villa Pestarini - this venue was a favorite moment in and of itself. The kitchen! We also discovered ceramicist @elisarubert .
3. This time we booked a private tour of the Villa Necchi. Seeing this incredible home again was just as special. Learning a little more about the story of it, even better.
4. The home of architect Osvaldo Borsani was opened up to the public for the first time.
5. Gucci Memoria - Give me a field of flowers and tapestries and I’m happy.
6. L’Appartamento by Artemest - I especially loved visiting their offices to see their inspiration and sketches.
7. Casa Museo Boschi di Stefano - An apartment designed by Piero Portaluppi.
8. 6 am Over and Over and Over and Over - The historic pool complex provided a beautifully light filled backdrop for the glass.
9. Kohler x Flamingo Estate - Fun collaboration, great party.
10. Sharing this experience with my husband was wonderful. This was the first time he came along with me on an industry trip. He had a lot of fun, hung with the girls and took loads of videos that I hope we can use somehow!
11. Our group that we toured the shows with was fantastic! I always love traveling with @kloythanomsup from @landedinteriors . This was a first with @bannerdayinteriors and @isabelsorenson . It was such a great experience and our last dinner together was bittersweet.
Ciao!
Happy Sunday! Here’s hoping you’re enjoying this lovely spring weekend and perhaps some time with family.
This dining room is from our plum cottage project. Perhaps the least plum-centric room in this house. However we did manage to sneak a touch of purple in somewhere. Can you find the Easter egg in these photos? 🐣

Honored to see our studio kitchenette featured by Domino Magazine (@dominomag ) this week in a story on cottagecore taking a darker turn.
I hadn’t necessarily labeled our work as cottagecore, but the more I think about it, the more it fits. We’re always drawn to spaces that feel lived-in, and a little moody. Kitchens especially should feel this way. Collected, cozy, and full of atmosphere.
Our office kitchenette is small, but it carries all of that. Proof that you don’t need a large footprint to create something with depth and feeling.

We’re headed to Salone del Mobile, aka Milan Design Week, in just a few weeks and I could not be more excited to return to this spectacular city.
Milan feels like a bit of a sleeper destination. So many people I know who love Italy haven’t made it there yet.
We went for the first time last summer and completely fell for it. Our long-term dream is to buy a flat there one day. I always describe it as if Paris and New York City had a super child. It’s incredibly chic and fashion-forward, but with an energy and pace that just clicks.
These photos are from Villa Necchi Campiglio, a house museum designed by Piero Portaluppi.
When I walked into the atrium, I genuinely cried. It’s one of those rare spaces that fully lives up to the dream of seeing it in person.
If you have any suggestions for where I should visit or what to expect during Salone this year, I’d love to hear them. We have more house museums, activations, and parties planned, but I’m always looking for the hidden gems, please send them my way.
All photos by me, Lauren L Caron.

Happy Friday! Saving the most dramatic room for last felt only right. This kitchen is the heart of the project and truly where it all began.
Our clients originally came to us after a pipe froze in their laundry, which at the time was not connected to the main interior of the home. We reworked the layout by relocating the laundry to a room just off the back of the house and introduced a new interior connection. Because every inch in the kitchen mattered, the doorway needed to be intentionally petite. This led us to design a cabinet style entry that feels fully integrated into the millwork.
From there, we leaned all the way in.
Dark fir paneling wraps the space, drawing from the home’s original architectural language and referencing the fireplace beyond. When the clients mentioned that a purple kitchen would be fun, we took it seriously, in the best way. The result is rich, layered, and just a bit unexpected.
Details truly mattered here. Drawer pulls were inspired by antique library card catalogs. Soapstone counters bring depth and durability. Calacatta Viola marble adds just the right amount of drama.
This is one of those spaces that only works because the clients trusted the vision and were willing to go for it. Not everyone says yes to a purple kitchen, and that is exactly what makes this one so special!

The next stop on our Plum Cottage tour is the bathroom. Small in scale, but thoughtfully designed to give this family exactly what they need.
When we joined the project, the clients had already remodeled the space, including building out the shower surround. A truly smart move, it allows for flexibility down the line should they ever choose to remove the tub and transition to a full shower.
Our role was to bring cohesion and character to the room. We refreshed the space with new paint, updated plumbing and light fixtures and hardware, and designed a custom shower curtain that truly steals the show.
Just outside the bathroom, we layered in one of our favorite wallpapers in the hall, it is a soft but impactful transition that ties together the kitchen, bedroom, and bath.

The living room in our Plum Cottage project is a wonderful example of collaborating with clients to incorporate pieces they already own into the overall design. Sometimes clients arrive with beautiful starting points—they simply need help pulling everything together so the room feels cohesive and complete.
In this case, the purple sofa was one of those pieces. Fortunately, it worked seamlessly with the palette we were building for the home and became an anchor for the room. From there, we layered in window treatments, a rug, and a few additional furnishings to create a space that feels thoughtful, comfortable, and fully realized.
And a small detail we all adore: the fireplace still features its original tortoiseshell tiles, which add such a special sense of history and character to the room.
