The Art of the Edit: Interior Design Using Existing Furniture:
The home you’ve always wanted is already yours. I just help you find it.
Many homeowners feel a disconnect with traditional interior design because they believe hiring a professional means starting from scratch and discarding the history they’ve built. At Edited Interiors, Lauren Murphy specializes in a different approach: Interior styling that begins with the pieces you already own.
Whether you are in Lynchburg, Northern Virginia or anywhere in between, Lauren bridges the gap between sentimental treasures and sophisticated design, proving that you don’t have to replace your history to have a high-end, professionally styled home.
What is "Shop Your Home" Styling?
Our Specialty: Curating What You Love
"Shopping your home" is a resourceful, intentional design philosophy that prioritizes your existing furniture, heirlooms, and personal artifacts over "fast furniture" and catalog-bought decor. Lauren uses the "Art of the Edit" to look at your belongings through the lens of a professional stylist and photographer, identifying the "hero pieces" that will anchor your new space.
As a specialist in decorating with existing furniture, Lauren’s process is built on respect for your story. We help you:
Unbox Hidden Treasures: Those sentimental items tucked away in storage—travel mementos, family heirlooms, and vintage finds—are brought back into the light and integrated into your daily life.
Refine & Reimagine: We optimize your floor plan and furniture placement to improve flow and light, making your current pieces feel brand new.
Bridge the Gap with Intentional Sourcing: If a room feels incomplete, we thoughtfully source new, antique, or vintage pieces that complement your collection and add a layer of timeless sophistication..
Why Choose a Specialist in Existing Furniture?
Choosing a designer who works with your current pieces isn’t just about being resourceful—it’s about authenticity.
Emotional Value: Your home should be a reflection of your journey. By using your personal artifacts, we ensure your space feels soulful and intentional.
Award-Winning Expertise: With 15+ years of experience and a pedigree from the multi-year "Best of Northern Virginia" firm, Murphy’s Design, Lauren brings a level of expertise that ensures "used" never means "dated."
Editorial Standards: Using principles learned while styling for Home & Design Magazine photography, Lauren composes your rooms to look as balanced and beautiful as a high-end publication—using the foundation you’ve already built.
