Thoughtfully layered & lived in

My Design philosophy

We don't just design beautiful rooms. We translate your life, values, and aesthetic into a space that feels meaningful, transportive, and unmistakably you. We begin with how you want your home to feel—then artfully layer each captivating element until they harmonize together, allowing your space to truly sing.

Think rich textures, considered lighting, and that perfect balance of old and new. Spaces that tell your story while making everyday moments feel special. That’s Samantha Lane Interiors.

Hi, I’m Samantha

After a decade-long journey from makeup artistry through corporate sales, I discovered my true calling when we bought our first home in 2020. What started as a pandemic design project revealed an incredible truth: creating beautiful interiors shares many overlapping principles with makeup artistry – enhancing natural beauty, building confidence, and making people feel amazing in their own space.

My Story
Living room corner with a large gold and black tripod floor lamp, a framed portrait on the dark wall, and a side table with books, a plant, and decorative items near a window.

Behind the tray, a white cushion, books, and a large bouquet of dried hydrangeas in a pot are visible. Two tall candles, one lit, and a burning incense stick emitting smoke are also part of the arrangement.

"Choosing new paint colors can be overwhelming, but Samantha made the process informative and enjoyable. She has an incredible eye for color combinations and was able to recommend the perfect blend to completely transform my space. I’m thrilled with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to refresh their home."
