Lisa McLaughlin launched State Street Design in 2007 after furnishing a modern, airy, four-story Brooklyn townhouse for her family, and helping a close friend renovate an early 1900's farmhouse in upstate New York. She transformed the dark, cramped century old house into a loft-like retreat flooded with light. McLaughlin’s previous jobs, which honed her aesthetic, were perfect preparation. She served as Accessories Divisional Merchandise Manager and Buyer at Bergdorf Goodman (1985-1991) and founded and ran Metropolitan Design Group (1991-1999), a luxury fashion and home accessory agency. McLaughlin's extensive interior design portfolio now ranges from the upstate farmhouse to a number of hi-rise condominiums and prewar apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

In her signature interiors, a subtle palette of neutrals brings unity to comfortable, functional furnishings with clean lines. Rooms are uncluttered, yet there's always a supply of eye-catching textures and the occasional pop of color, so that the client's own personality comes through. Finding inspiration in art, travel, food and her never ending creative network of people, McLaughlin infuses each project with uniquely rich textures and cutting edge style. With a broad, and deep market knowledge of modern, timeless classics she helps owners navigate the dizzying range of options available, from the furnishings to the window treatments to the display of prized collections.

As an experienced interior designer, McLaughlin can help bring your vision to life. At State Street Design, she caters her designs to the specific requests of clients, and goes out of her way to make sure that the work is a reflection of their own tastes and preferences.
