Welcome to another episode of Confessions of an Interior Designer!
Today, host Caroline Turner chats with Lauren Lothrop Caron, founder of Studio Laloc, a Seattle-based interiors firm celebrated for its richly layered, timeless spaces. Lauren shares how she transitioned from fashion to interiors, why she believes every home deserves soul and depth, and how she balances classic design principles with real-life client needs. She and Caroline explore the emotional rhythms of long-term projects, the power of patience, and the magic that happens when clients lean into trust.
Caroline also reads two shocking anonymous confessions — first, a designer whose client discovered hidden cameras planted in her walls by her husband, and second, a story about an architect who told a client she didn’t need a designer at all… because Pinterest exists.
