Lauren McKay Interiors has been designing residential and commercial spaces for clients in the Triangle and beyond since 2017.
Our services include full-service design and furnishing for new construction projects, whole-home renovations, offices, as well as decorating and styling services.
We provide AutoCAD layouts, elevations, and renderings and work directly with builders and contractors to develop plans for all aspects of your space— walls, flooring, lighting, cabinetry, counters, plumbing, furnishings, outdoor living spaces, and more.
We also take care of all the details— from millwork and paint to furnishing and accessorizing your space.
As a small firm we provide a personal touch to all of our projects, and take pride in client satisfaction. We love our clients and rely almost entirely on referrals for business!

I started Lauren McKay Interiors with a vision to help clients improve their lives through their homes. The design of your home has a tremendous effect on your emotions, your productivity, your sense of place— your home impacts every part of your life!
For me, Interior design has been a lifelong passion. I grew up in small-town Shelby, NC where I spent my childhood rearranging doll houses and bedroom furniture, inspired by the beautiful homes and spaces I saw in magazines and TV shows. So it really is a dream come true that now I get to help others create beautiful spaces of their own.
I moved to Raleigh in 2003 to attend NC State University, where I studied Art+Design. I also earned a degree in Interior Design from Meredith College. I have more than 16 years of interior design experience, including new construction, renovation, residential and commercial projects. I became NCIDQ certified in 2010.
When I'm not designing, I'm usually chasing my daughters and son around the house, practicing my photography skills, or, in rare moments of calm, enjoying a glass of wine and binge-watching TV with my husband.
