Who We Are.
Paul Lauren Design Consultants is a firm known for serene, uncluttered spaces that are sumptuously livable. The idea that your home is a haven—a place where you should feel peaceful and happy—is at the heart of principal designer Lauren Rautbord’s trademark style of luxurious fabrics, neutral palettes, and furnishings full of warmth and personality.
Always sophisticated but never fussy, Lauren’s designs incorporate vintage and contemporary pieces alike. She believes less is always more, and that exterior views—from desert landscapes to urban lakefronts—should be embraced and enjoyed.
Our Team
Lauren Rautbord
Principal/Owner
Over the past two decades, Lauren Rautbord’s easy, elegant spaces have won her a loyal clientele throughout the Upper Midwest and the Phoenix area. People appreciate her open, friendly personal style and her ability to help them discover what they really want and like. Her distinctive interiors are all the more livable thanks to her firsthand knowledge about how people and families live at different life stages.
Lauren has over 30 years of interior design experience, receiving her Associates degree from the prestigious Harrington School of Design in Chicago. She founded the firm with the late Paul Marchetti, one of Chicago’s leading style makers for decades.
While active in several key geographic markets, Lauren identified high potential to grow the firm in Scottsdale, and as a result relocated her business, which has since thrived in a market with endless opportunity.
PLD’s work has followed it’s clients to their second homes and is actively engaged in San Diego, Park City, Idaho, Texas and Montana.
Lauren is the visionary of the company; her hands-on approach through all stages of a PLD project, combined with her creative ingenuity leads to highly curated and refined living spaces. Lauren’s business strategy is to thoughtfully manage the size of PLD’s projects in order to maintain her hands on direction for every job, while enabling growth.

Kendra Vaughn joined the Paul Lauren Design Consultants team in 2018 bringing her positive attitude and excellent attention to detail with her.
Although she is a native of Scottsdale, Kendra has been traveling and living overseas since the age of 5. It is these sightseeing adventures that lead her to acknowledge her passion for interior and architectural details, driving her to pursue a career in Interior Design.
