Lauren Berger’s childhood was spent at the heart of a large, loving family who celebrated and cherished every moment. She grew up with an instinctual understanding of service and hospitality, and creating environments in which people would feel warm and welcome became her life’s goal.

Lauren treated every guest as an extended family member, someone to be cherished and pampered, whose every whim was of utmost importance. She relished the old-fashioned values of keeping a home beautiful in the way of the world’s most renowned homemakers, but brought a fresh, sophisticated point of view to decorating and furnishing. The spaces she created were understated and elegant, and she became renowned for her gracious hospitality. A stay at one of her homes became a highly sought-after privilege.
