Designer Spotlight: Porter Design Company

For some time I’ve been following the work of Lauren Guarcello the stylish and talented woman behind Porter Design Company. I admire many designers that work in a variety of styles, but I do have a chosen few that I would love to work with and Lauren is one of them. I love her fun use of color and pattern and it’s fun to see all of my dream products in her actual rooms instead of just my inspiration boards.

Check out a recent house she finished in South Hampton:

{Many times people are afraid of the color brown because they think it will be too dark, but I love seeing it in this space. Look how light and airy it looks with the combo of yellow and sky blue.}

{They sprinkled yummy Alan Campbell fabrics all throughout the house so it’s fun to spot them. Check out the toss pillow on the sofa for a peek at the fabric.}

{Blue and Green another one of my favorite color combos. Love the variety in the shades of both colors throughout the room.}

{A girl after my own heart. An elephant table!}

{How beautiful is that fabric? It looks like an amazing mosaic tile! Love the aqua lucite pulls on the drawers.}

{I don’t think I will ever tire of KW Imperial Trellis. Everytime I think I’m over it I spot it in a room and fall in love all over again.}

{Dream room for our next house is a library. Every since I saw that massive library in Beauty and the Beast I’ve wanted one for myself. Adore the color story in this room. Love how the navy walls add to the cozy factor.}

{Stunning dining room with expensive fabric and furnishings, but that beautiful lattice wood work can easily be recreated on a budget.}

Ah lovely. So, who else wants to drop what they are doing and head over to Porter Design Company and fetch coffee for Lauren and learn from the master.
