Lauren Gilberthorpe Interiors specialise in crafting soulful, serene spaces that embody individual character and warmth. Founded by Lauren Gilberthorpe, whose roots in South Devon and current life in the Cotswolds deeply influence her work, our studio is inspired by the English countryside. With over a decade of experience, Lauren, alongside her dedicated team, brings both passion and expertise to each project, ensuring that every design is uniquely beautiful and profoundly personal.
Our approach honours the principles of balance, proportion, and a respectful nod to architectural heritage. Above all, we strive to create interiors rich in personality, fusing quality, timelessness and a touch of whimsy. Our goal is to design spaces that not only spark conversation but also feel distinctly like home.
By partnering with skilled suppliers and artisans who share our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, we ensure that every detail is carefully considered and thoughtfully chosen.
Because I realised that what makes a design experience truly individual is relationship. Your relationship with one another, our relationship with you (as we get to understand your personal style and sense of story) and above all, your relationship with your home. This is what informs our original designs.
We don’t want to make you look like another Instagram home or a styled magazine spread. It’s not about looking like a show home, but creating a soul home, and that is what we aspire to, a space that’s styled for you, an effortless blend of beauty and simple sophistication.
What we’ve learnt is that real homes have real heart.

Georgie’s growth and development as a designer has mirrored that of LGI as a business. Georgie started out with us for a work experience week and never left! She has become our most experienced designer with a forensic understanding of the design process and the company values. With an excellent eye for colour and a good grasp on how a space needs to look and feel, Georgie is fantastic at bringing our visions to life.
With a degree in Interior Design from Falmouth University, she not only has the knowledge but she’s also the nicest person to work with. Always the first to be putting client care at the core of the project, she is sunshine personified.

With a passion for decorating and a love of colour, Louise is happiest with a paintbrush in her hand by day and a book by night. Organised and efficient, approachable and adept at multi-tasking, Louise is in charge of making sure the studio runs like clockwork and the projects are perfectly planned out. A penchant for bold patterns and buildings with a sense of story, Louise spends her spare time restoring her 1930s home and creating a hub that has friends and family at the heart. Always on the go, you’ll usually find her pottering in the garden or hosting family gatherings and serving up her famous roast - how many vegetables can she cook to accompany roast dinner? Lots!

Chloe’s warm personality and incredible work ethic have meant she is a perfect fit at LGI but it is her keen eye for detail that has really stood out. Chloe has a degree in Fashion and combines her knowledge of what looks amazing with the organisational skills of a human spreadsheet to help the designs come together beautifully and on time. Chloe has a twin sister who she is very close to and her impressive home baking repertoire has made her even more popular in the office.
