Intentional Design

Design—whether good or bad—reflects the major and subtle details that collectively create an experience. A good design creates harmony and invites us to linger. Similarly, we intuitively feel when something is out of balance. Intentional design relies on understanding how to use every design element to achieve the intended functionality of a space while creating a desired mood and a sense of harmony.

The places where we spend the most time should uplift and inspire us while giving us a sense of peace and contentment. Every person and every home has a story. Intentional design helps tell that story authentically and meaningfully. When done successfully, it eliminates clutter and distraction and immerses us in an experience of connection to ourselves and one another.

The Design Experience

There is so much more to interiors than furniture, fixtures, and paint color. Architectural details, such as natural light, traffic flow, optimal room functionality, effective storage, and organization, play a huge role in the successful design of a space. An interior designer works closely with architects, builders, and other professionals to modify structural elements and design an environment suitable for the needs and desires of the client.
Decisions can be overwhelming, especially when the project is a renovation or a new build. An experienced designer can sift through the seemingly infinite options and zero in on those elements that bring together the client’s vision, design preferences, and lifestyle.

A designer has the go-to sources for high-quality items and a network of highly skilled, reputable tradespeople. A designer will also do the legwork of ordering, arranging the delivery, and orchestrating and supervising the installation.

The Significance of tabby

Tabby—derived from the Spanish name tabique de hostion (mud wall of oyster shell)—is a centuries-old building material made from a slurry of lime from burned oyster shells, water, sand, and broken shells. It continues to be used in building architecture in the most elegant and beautiful of homes, reflecting the area's history and the people drawn to it.
We choose to live in places that resonate with us. We connect with the personality of a place and the unique characteristics that give it charm. For those of us fortunate enough to have experienced the coastal towns of Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina, we are drawn to the live oaks, the Spanish moss, the blue waters, and of course, the tabby.
Tabby House Design & Interiors strives to create interiors that tell a story and connect people to the places they’ve chosen to live. We create spaces that express the personalities of their owners and achieve functionality, mood, and harmony. Whether designing a home, a room, or even a business space, we aim to facilitate a positive design experience and achieve an exceptional design outcome.

Meet the Founder of Tabby House Design & Interiors

Tabby House Design & Interiors was founded by Lauren Leonard. Throughout my childhood, ongoing family relocations offered me the opportunity to decorate a new room. I thoroughly enjoyed the house-hunting experience and began drawing house plans and sketching elevations before I was ten years old.
As an adult, I have worked extensively with architects and builders to construct or renovate multiple homes and relished the process as much as the results.
What a gift to have a career that allows you to bring joy to others while doing something you love! I left my 25+ year career as a Management Consultant in healthcare to focus full-time on interior design.
I am a USC graduate with a Master's in International Business and a former Senior Vice President in the corporate world. I also hold an Interior Design Certificate from the New York Institute of Art and Design.
