This is my specialty. I am Lauren Lowry, an interior designer who provides design support and expertise to investors and property owners of short-term rentals. I help you elevate your properties above the competition, increase their bookings, and give you the greatest ROI. 

The design of your property and
high-quality photos are what will cause guests to choose your property over the one down the road.

Guests want a design that communicates it was curated with
their needs in mind. 

Your design must not only be beautiful and inspiring but must also allow spaces to be lived in. When guests book a property they want the freedom to feel at home with their friends and family.

Guests who choose to book their vacation in a short-term rental instead of a hotel often make their decision on where to stay based on the aesthetic and decor they see in the pictures online. 

Today’s adventurous traveler is looking for the “wow factor.” With more than 5 million listings worldwide and over 4 million travelers utilizing Airbnb.com our goal is to make your property stand out from all of the rest. 

We eat with our eyes.

In today’s world of vacation rentals and boutique hotels, design is marketing.  Guests will look to strong visuals and eye catching design first when scrolling to find a vacation rental.

Hi, I’m Lauren

Mother to three small children, wife, pastor and creator. I am also an aspiring real estate mogul and founder of Lauren Lowry Interior Design. 

In 2015 after friends had been encouraging me for years to turn my interior design talent into a business, I launched Lauren Lowry Interior Design.  Before I was even a viable business I landed my first major client staging homes for one of America’s largest homebuilders. Over the years, I’ve loved working with an array of clients, taking their spaces from potential to beautifully alive.

Throughout my journey as a designer and entrepreneur, I have discovered the kind of projects that make me come alive - working with investors and property owners, and turning properties into thriving vacation rentals.  

After taking on my own investment property with my husband, I learned the ins and outs of designing, sourcing, installing and launching a vacation rental. Through this process, I developed a greater passion to support other investors in their journey to financial freedom. I’ve discovered that this level of financial freedom supplies the ability to live the life I was created to live.

  • For me, she was more of a partner, rather than just someone who was doing a job for me.

    Lauren has completed two projects for me and she did absolutely phenomenal work in all aspects! Being an out of area investor, I relied on her completely to get the job done, first for interior design work for an STR condo property in downtown Austin and then for an STR lakefront property near New Braunfels. For the lakefront property, she served as both renovation project manager AND interior designer! The best compliment that I can give her is that for both projects, she treated the properties as OUR properties and often referred to them in that manner. For me, she was more of a partner, rather than just someone who was doing a job for me. She expertly guided the projects and wisely advised on decisions. Of note, she gently nudged me towards better decisions when I was heading in probably the wrong direction. I recommend her without reservation and I am sure that you will not be disappointed if you decide to work with her. She is a talented and dedicated professional who delivers results!

  • Lauren is the all-in-one-package for an interior designer!

    We are out of state short term rental investors and she was exactly who we needed to make our rental successful. From the beginning to the end, Lauren was extremely communicative, detail oriented, and flexible. We had many ideas and she incorporated them beautifully while also adding her own unique touches as well. Not only is she great at interior design, but she is an amazing project manager and coordinated our landscaping and contracting needs as well!

    We will be working with Lauren for our future properties as she has become an instrumental part of our real estate team. We would 100% recommend her in a heartbeat, especially for STR investors looking for ways to optimize their properties through interior design!

  • It was a pleasure working through concept, design, and install with Lauren.

    I met Lauren at a local home goods boutique where I was admiring the design of the space. We hit it off right away. I am in home building and knew instantly that her classic style would speak to our potential homeowners and make every project feel like home. It was a pleasure working through concept, design, and install with Lauren. Looking forward to working with her again very soon!

  • Working with Lauren was such a pleasure.

    She had so many ideas that we would have never thought of ourselves. Her color and material choices reflected our personal style yet pushed us just enough out of our comfort zone to inspire and ‘wow’ us and the guests who will enjoy our home. Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your expertise and talent with us!

  • Lauren has an amazing ability to make a space come to life.

    We loved working with Lauren! When we were in the beginning stages of forming our new home boutique we enlisted her help for creative vision for the new space. She has an amazing ability to make a space come to life. We recommend her to anyone that is needing someone to help them create a new space in their home or business.

  • Lauren has transformed our home!

    We didn’t spend a dime on new things, she repurposed and rearranged the stuff I already had. We have a new home and I was at a loss on how to decorate. I walk in everyday and love what I see. She made it warm and inviting, and even more importantly a reflection of my family!

    - Matt & Jill, San Marcos, TX

  • I would recommend her to anyone that is wanting to work on their home!

    I have been so impressed with Lauren. She is personable and professional. I really appreciated that she wanted to know my style and dream for our home. She is passionate about what she does and she has a way of making people feel important. I would recommend her to anyone that is wanting to work on their home!

  • Lauren definitely brings an easy process to designing and pays attention to detail.

    I can’t speak highly enough of Lauren. I love the way our house turned out. We bought an old Craftsman home and had no idea on where to begin in redesigning it. I wanted to stay true to the period style, but I wanted it to feel very warm and homey. Lauren walked through our house and suggested colors for each room and laid out the vision she saw and combined it with the things she knew I wanted. When she found something online that made her think of our house she sent us a link. She also gave us a design plan that outlined each room with paint colors, fixture ideas, furniture ideas and the price and link to each item. I have lived by this design plan!! She definitely brings an easy process to designing and pays attention to detail. She takes all the guesswork and confusion out. I HIGHLY recommend her creative genius to anyone looking for design or redesign of a space.

  • Lauren took my desires for our home and made them into what I couldn’t even envision.

    Lauren has the rare ability to see through interior design straight to a person/family’s heart and vision for their own spaces, all while being a relevant creator. She took my desires for our home and made them into what I couldn’t even envision.

  • Lauren perfectly balances listening to her clients’ desires with offering her professional opinion.

    Lauren helped my fiancé and I with a design plan for our condo. We bought the property with plans to rent it out so we were not interested in spending a lot of money on upgrades. Lauren was very mindful of this and did a good job explaining where she felt our money would be best utilized. She worked with the few furniture pieces we kept to create a detailed plan of everything from wall and cabinet colors to throw pillows. This all was emailed to us in a tidy little document with the price and location of each item she recommended. Lauren perfectly balances listening to her clients’ desires with offering her professional opinion. Not only does Lauren have an impeccable ability to transform a space, she does it with ease and grace. She is great at what she does and definitely someone you should get to know.
