About Us

At Neo Interior Design, we craft timeless interiors that feel as good as they look. Specialising in family dream homes, luxury apartments, cosmetic renovations, and new home colour selections, we bring clarity, cohesion, and a touch of elegance to every project. Our design approach balances beauty with function, ensuring each space feels both effortless and deeply personal.

I’m Lauren Stephenson, Creative Director of Neo Interior Design, based in Perth, Western Australia. Design is in my DNA. Growing up in a family of designers, I developed a natural love for interiors and an intuitive eye for detail.

My career began in the furniture and tiling industry, where I built a strong foundation in product knowledge. After a decade of study and hands-on experience in interior design, I launched Neo Interior Design in 2013.

From the beginning, I recognised a common challenge: many clients struggled to imagine how finishes and colours would come together in their own homes. By guiding them through tailored palettes, curated materials, and clear visualisation, I watched their uncertainty turn into excitement. Seeing the joy in their reactions confirmed what I already knew – this is my passion, and my purpose.

Lauren Stephenson

Creative Director & Founder

Lauren Stephenson is the Creative Director and Founder of Neo Interior Design, a leading boutique design studio based in Perth, Western Australia.

Coming from a family of designers, Lauren developed a natural love for interiors and a keen eye for detail from an early age. Her career began in the custom furniture and tiling industry, where she built a strong foundation in collaboration, relationships, product knowledge, and an appreciation for quality craftsmanship.

After more than a decade of learning and studying interior design, Lauren established Neo Interior Design in 2013. It was through this journey that she discovered her true passion, helping clients bring their visions to life. Recognising that many clients found it difficult to visualise how colours, textures, and finishes would come together in their homes, Lauren made it her mission to bridge that gap. Her thoughtful guidance, attentive listening and ability to deliver exceptional results quickly set her apart within the industry.

In addition to her interior design work, Lauren has also developed a strong passion for real estate growth for her clients. She collaborates with some of Western Australia’s top real estate agents as an interior design strategist, helping homeowners and investors increase the value of their properties through strategic design. From developing renovation plans that enhance functionality and flow to creating spaces that are both beautiful and practical for everyday living, Lauren ensures every project maximises both lifestyle and return on investment.

Lauren’s work and expertise have been widely recognised. She has been featured in leading editorial magazines, appeared on the front page of The West Australian, and served as both an interior design judge and mentor to emerging designers.

Under Lauren’s leadership, Neo Interior Design has become known for its innovative systems and client-focused approach, streamlining the design experience to make it enjoyable and stress-free. She has carefully curated a talented team of designers, stylists, procurement specialists and project managers who share her passion for excellence, creativity, and collaboration.

Driven by a commitment to perfection and a genuine love for design, Lauren continues to lead Neo Interior Design with integrity, innovation and heart, creating beautiful, functional spaces that inspire and enrich the lives of her clients and her team alike..
