Welcome to Laurel Home, the website for Westchester County NY Interior Designer, Laurel Bern. My company is Laurel Bern Interiors. What began as a full-service residential interior design firm located very close to New York City, has evolved into still working in the field of interior design, but as a full-time blogger. Decorating is my passion and I've been helping my clients in Westchester County, (Bronxville, Scarsdale, Chappaqua, Armonk, Larchmont, Katonah, South Salem, Pound Ridge, Rye and Bedford) Fairfield County and New York City furnish their homes for over 26 years.
