College Grove, TN – Modern Coastal Interior Design for a Luxury Home
After relocating from Minnesota to College Grove, TN, we knew exactly who to call for our luxury home interior design—Laurie Mattson. Having previously worked with her on our home in Plymouth, MN, we trusted her creative vision and were confident she could bring warmth, style, and function to our new space. Laurie began with a virtual interior design consultation, quickly identifying that our existing furniture wouldn’t suit the layout or scale of our new great room. Even before seeing the home in person, her talent for remote design made the process seamless and stress-free.
She curated a Modern Coastal design that played up the home’s natural light, exposed wood beams, and connection to the outdoors. From furniture selection to textures, finishes, and layout, every detail reflected the airy, relaxed, elevated vibe we were going for. Once the furnishings arrived, Laurie flew in to complete the full-service design install, styling the home with thoughtful accessories, curated artwork, and even a few sentimental pieces from our previous home.
Laurie’s attention to detail, high-end design expertise, and organization were evident in every space —especially our great room, kitchen, and outdoor porch. The final result is intentional, elevated, and perfectly us. We’re so grateful for her ability to blend coastal style, comfort, and luxury into a home that truly feels like a retreat. Thank you, Laurie!
