Testimonials
Lauren is the best! We first met her while shopping for furniture for our new home. Our furniture was dated and after many years of use, greatly needed to be replaced. Lauren was so helpful...pointing out new trends, recommending color schemes and making practical and attractive suggestions. We’ve been working with her for almost 4 years now on different projects. We highly recommend her. She is a delight to work with and you will not be disappointed.
-Betty & Mike K.Lauren is my go to when I refresh my home. I'm very particular, detail oriented and indecisive so her patience and expertise comes in handy. She is also honest. I have an active home with 4 kids but aim for a chic, elegant look. She helps me achieve that balance with the durability needed for my growing family. She is also energetic and exudes positivity with her bubbly personality! This makes working with her a treat.
-Sanaa I.Lauren really helped bring our ideas to life and helped make our living room a room we enjoy spending time in. She helped us with a room that was not the easiest in shape/size to design not just a usable, but beautiful and comfortable space. We so appreciated her ability to listen and help us express our style.
-Stephanie V.When I work with someone I want the best, and we found that with Lauren. We have worked with Lauren on several projects and were basically starting with a blank canvass and told her to "just do it." The only real parameters we gave her were that we wanted it to look and feel like a model home. Boy did it! Design, picking out fabrics, materials, colors, etc. are not our thing, essentially we only care about the finish project. Because Lauren spent the time upfront getting to know us personally she knew exactly what would work for us and our lifestyle. Time and again she delivers. Lauren is our Designer for life. She is simply incredible. Each project brings me both stress and peace at the same time. Mostly peace though because with Lauren I don't have to worry. I know my expectations will be exceeded. If you want the best, then you need to work with Lauren.
-Jim S.I dropped by Ethan Allen at the beginning of my search for furniture ideas for my open floor plan living room/dining area. I was looking to refurnish the living room and to refresh the dining room. I'm so grateful that I met Lauren on that first visit! She's fantastic!! After giving her an idea of my goals, she offered to come out to my home to see the space and to take measurements.... I met with her just a few days later, and was blown away! She totally "got it," and presented the most amazing options for my home. From replacing all of the current living room furniture to updating my dining room, she knocked it out of the park!! I will absolutely return to her for future projects in my home!!
-Kim G.Working with Lauren Racowsky has been THE best design consultation experience ever. She has transformed my 3 bedroom condo into a masterpiece! Lauren is so easy to work with, has a wonderful vision, and such creative ideas. She pays attention to everything...from your personality, to the little accent pieces which create that finishing touch. I would have been lost without her expertise after purchasing my first home. To see the transformation she has brought to light, and the home she has made for me...puts a smile on my face daily! She took my vision for each room in the house and put together a design board that is beyond classy, sophisticated, modern, rustic, yet oh so elegant. There is never a time when Lauren isn't willing to offer even the simplest advice, from paint colors, or other projects within your home. Her eye for Interior designing is spot on! Her bubbly personality will make you feel as if she's more than just your designer, but a true friend as well. Do not hesitate to ever reach out to Lauren to make your dream home come true- in fact, you will regret not working with her!
-Sandra B.We've had a tremendously wonderful experience with our designer, Lauren! Lauren has helped us with several house projects, and we couldn’t be happier. When we moved to Northern Virginia, we had several rooms to fill, and wanted to make sure our house looked complete and like everything flowed together. Upon our first visit to Ethan Allen, we met Lauren, and haven’t looked back! We designed our living room and dining room as one project, and get countless compliments from all of our friends. A year later, we were ready to redo our master bedroom, and of course we came to Lauren! She always does a wonderful job of listening to our ideas and then incorporating design ideas we would never have thought of. She has a wonderful eye for color and fabrics, and is extremely professional. If there’s more to do, Lauren will be our first call!
-Anna & Nick N.We were looking to update our home and found reviews for Lauren Racowsky online. The reviews were great and it was clear that her clients loved her and her work! Lauren is a talented and passionate designer with great ideas, great style, and a fantastic personality. She knows how to listen to what clients are looking for, and to get a sense of what works for them. She came up with great designs for our family room and kitchen, and selected the most amazing carpets and wall colors for the rest of the house. The house now feels fresh and updated and we couldn't be happier! You will love working with her. She's amazing!
-Jane L.Lauren is an amazing designer and such a pleasure! My family room was outdated and needed a whole new look. Lauren came to my house and got to know me and my lifestyle. She transformed it and we absolutely love it. I also have a condo that is out of state, and Lauren worked off the floor plan to design the family room. When the furniture came we were amazed at how beautiful everything was and how well it fit the room. She is a wonderful designer and a lovely person too!
-Alison N.I recently had four rooms in my home remodeled. I used Lauren Racowsky from Etan Allen to do my project. I would highly recommend using her for your next home design. She not only is a quality designer but also a very nice person. She knows what is in style and in my case knew what was out of style. She helped me with new furniture, accessories and even paint colors. She kept in constant contact with me throughout the entire process from picking out new designs through delivery of the new furniture. I could not have been more fortunate to have met and worked with her. I plan on using her again in the future.
-Harry B.Lauren is an amazing designer. She worked with us on our initial project designing the family room, and gave us exactly what we wanted. We were so impressed with her work we keep going back to her and have done other rooms. We have gotten so many compliments on the rooms that she has done. She is fun to work with and would highly recommend her.
-Chowdhary & Gauthami G.Lauren was a pleasure to work with on our dining room and kitchen projects. She is friendly, helpful, and has excellent design skills. We came to Lauren with some project ideas and she visited our home to get a better understanding of our style. Then she presented us with numerous ideas for completing our look. We had worked with other designers that were set on pushing their style on us. Lauren made a point to listen to our needs, make quality suggestions, and guided our final decisions. We were extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend Lauren! I know we plan to consult her again for our next project.
