Samantha Lapierre, Principal Designer

Before I ever drew a floor plan, I spent years in pediatric healthcare, caring for children and families through their hardest and most honest moments. You learn things in that work that no design school teaches. How a family actually moves through a day. What wears out, what holds up, and what a home needs to be when everything else is demanding.

I carried all of it into design.

I'm a Connecticut native with a home full of family and pets, so I live the problem I solve. I know what a golden afternoon looks like when it ends in muddy paws on the stairs, and I know the quiet frustration of loving your family more than you love your house. I started SLN Interiors because no one should have to feel that way.

My philosophy is family-proof luxury: interiors refined enough to stop you at the doorway and durable enough to survive what happens past it. Every fabric I specify, every layout I draw, gets tested against real life first, because it's the same standard I hold for my own home.

When you work with me, you work with me. I lead every project personally, from our first conversation to the final reveal. Your home becomes my project, your family becomes my client, and I don't consider the work done until the space is both beautiful and completely, unmistakably yours.
