About Geremia Design

“We often start with a question about mood,” says Lauren Geremia, founder and principal of the California interior design firm and art consultancy Geremia Design. Raised in New England and trained as a painter at the Rhode Island School of Design, the free-thinker explains, “we strive to understand our clients' values, then manifest them with energy and authenticity.” Through precise attention to their client’s aspirations and thorough research into existing architecture, Geremia Design specializes in ineffable atmospheres that are confident and optimistic.

Geremia sketches free-hand to render designs that “respond to the functions, rituals, and flow” of her clients’ evolving lives. Adept at creating custom furniture, Geremia and her team have devised jaunty bathtubs, beds that become sanctuaries, and serene window benches that point out the perfect view. Geremia relishes “the chase,” of finding the best fabricators because vendors who really know their materials can be “professors when the details get granular.” By these means, the design firm creates exquisitely crafted, bespoke homes that feel effortlessly intelligent.

Art is essential to all Geremia Design projects, with the soul of a home crafted from a careful composition of painting, sculpture, and photography. Geremia tracks the vicissitudes of the art market and enjoys advising on acquisitions. She also has a long history of working with collections presided over by full-time curators. The respect that design can show for art is never about color matching. Indeed, Geremia is happy to work with art in ways that allow for quick switch-outs of new acquisitions and complete collection rotations.

An avid researcher, Geremia appreciates clients whose homes and cultural interests deepen her knowledge and taste. Rather than erasing period styles, Geremia will extend and, if need be, develop from scratch, the labor-intensive details of a Georgian, Edwardian, Deco, or Arts and Crafts home.

Geremia Design comprises four design teams that pride themselves on their inventiveness and creative spirit. Geremia is not a designer who confuses the most expensive things with the best things, nor is she a stylist who buys the same brands for all her projects. Rather, Geremia interiors are “love letters” to specific lives well lived.
