“Where do I even start when it comes to working with Lauren and the entire Ivory & Bone Team! To say it was the best experience, could only be described as an understatement!!

From the first-time meeting Katie and Lauren, I knew they were the right fit for me! The creativity and knowledge they brought to the project was unparalleled. Their creativity truly showed no bounds.

My project was a big one, a whole home renovation, with our original home being taken down to the studs. Having no clue what I was doing, nor a true vision or style in mind, Lauren walked me through every step to help me refine this so that we could get the process underway with a clear point of view. From selecting floor plan layouts, to materials, furniture, and pivoting last minute as things changed in real time, Lauren made the whole process not only seamless, but FUN!

Lauren truly understands how to encapsulate your style and celebrate it while also knowing when to offer that little suggestion that may have been out of your normal comfort zone, to create a true masterpiece! I truly could not have done this project without Lauren and the entire Ivory & Bone team. They were a pleasure to work with day in and day out and I would be lucky to work with them again in the future!”

“We worked with Ellis from Ivory and Bone for our dining room, parlor, and kitchen remodel. She is talented, incredibly patient, and a great and swift problem solver. She deftly managed my love of color; pushed us to try new things with a wallpaper mural; hunted down the perfect antique pieces of furniture and lighting for our 175 year old home; created the perfect cozy parlor for us to enjoy in the evenings with our books, cocktails, and records; and found the perfect antique record table for my husband's gramophone (I'm pretty sure everyone in his phone has now seen a picture of it). She was super responsive and communicative and problem solved the couple of (expected) glitches in a matter of hours. We can't wait to work with her again on our next project!”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Lauren, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. From our initial consultation to the final touches, she truly nailed our design aesthetic, capturing the essence of what we envisioned and bringing it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations.

The space now feels both stylish and functional, perfectly reflecting our taste. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking a talented and dedicated interior designer!”

BOSTON, MA · APARTMENTGoogle · Aug 2025

“We've had an excellent experience with Ivory & Bone! Initially we were concerned that they may not be a good fit because we love color and stylized design and most of their portfolio online features a neutral palette in mid-century modern, but it turns out they do bold colors and elaborate design incredibly well, they just don't have many requests for it. We have elements of Gothic, Baroque, Rococo, Art Nouveau, and Moroccan decor in our apartment, and we absolutely LOVE the way everything is turning out! It feels so much like us, which I think is the hallmark of exceptional designers -- they don't impose an aesthetic on you, they help bring out what is uniquely you and amplify it. We tried a different designer (Casagrande) before hiring Ivory & Bone and the owner was much more interested in her vision than in ours and when we told her that we didn't care for the first round of fabric samples she showed us, she seemed exasperated ("You don't like ANY of these?!") and like were inconveniencing her by asking her to show us more options. We are SO grateful that we found Ivory & Bone after that! We have worked primarily with Lauren, who we positively adore, and despite asking her to locate items that have required many different samples, several rounds of edits, and long searches for just the right thing, she is always warm and patient and excited about what we're trying to create. We're able to be completely honest with her and tell her when we don't like something without worrying that she'll take it personally, which was not the case with Casagrande. In short, Ivory & Bone sources very interesting stuff and Katie and Lauren are just cool people... like the kind of people you'd want to hang out with even if you weren't working with them. Would highly recommend!!”

“Ellis and the IB team redesigned our very outdated kitchen this past fall. She is an incredibly talented designer. The entire process from design, working with our GC, installation, and follow-up went incredibly smoothly. We absolutely LOVE our kitchen. It is a stunner! It looks straight out of a magazine and she managed to create a space that reflected our style and personality as a family.”

We knew right away that Katie’s Unique style and vibe would be a perfect fit for us. She provided a level of expertise that gave us such confidence in our decisions. She listened to us, narrowed the selections and walked us through the pros and cons of each choice without pressure.

“Katie is absolutely amazing. I am terrible at decision making and my condo has an open and very different set up. Katie listened to everything I had to say and gave me beautiful suggestions. She made me a gorgeous concept board that we tweaked and worked on together until it was perfect. It truly brought her and my ideas to life. I took a lot of what we created and made it reality. I get so many compliments on how cozy my home is whenever guests come to visit. She went above and beyond for me, and found some things at great prices to fit my budget. I was going through a tough time, when I called on her to help me make my place my own. She brought so much light to the situation and we ended up calling it the “FU renovation”. We even had this great idea for a dining room table and when we could not find it.... Katie found someone to make it for us and at a great price! She even came with her husband to set it up for me! I cannot say enough about Katie and her company Ivory and Bone. Even following her social media now I get so many wonderful ideas. I will definitely be using her again when I buy my next home!”

“My husband and I have vastly different stylistic preferences, so when it came to designing our home, we turned to Ivory & Bone—and they truly delivered. Working with Lauren was an incredible experience; she helped us blend our distinct tastes in a way that feels both cohesive and beautiful. The design not only looks stunning but also fits our busy lifestyle with little ones at home. From our first meeting to the final furniture installation, every detail was meticulously considered. I wholeheartedly recommend Ivory & Bone and will personally reach out to them every time the opportunity arises. As the saying goes, ‘Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.’ Lauren truly understands this, and I can’t imagine a world where people don’t get to experience her vision.”

“Ivory and Bone were fantastic to work with and Lauren especially helped us find a perfect asthetic and the results were perfection. Everyone who came to our home loved it! Lauren listened so carefully and helped us find our personal style by giving us options and listening intently and pivoting as needed. I could not recommend I&B more and Lauren specifically!! We just sold that house and everyone thought we staged it but it was actually just how we lived and we are certain we got more than we ever expected because of its resulting I&B beauty.”

“Big fan of Ivory & Bone. Katie is a smart designer who did a great job for both of my restaurants in the last two years. Her ideas were in line with my brand and she found really interesting ways to incorporate lighting and texture throughout both restaurants to really make them shine. She is flexible, full of great ideas, helpful, and a blast to work with. She also worked well with several of our other vendors on collaborative projects that were part of our overall design, which was a huge help. Highly recommend her and will definitely work with her again!”

“Our experience with Ivory & Bone was top notch. Both Katie and our designer, Ellis, were amazing to work with throughout the process. Ellis is truly so talented and kind. She took the vision of what we wanted our house to look like and made it come to life. She is so good at mixing colors, patterns, wallpaper, etc. We're obsessed! She was patient, knowledgeable, always reachable, and most importantly she has the best taste. There are so many details that go into a project like this and Ellis was on top of all of them and never missed a beat. She suggested things that I would have never chosen and pushed us out of our comfort zone. The end result is beautiful. Our house finally feels like a home we love and are proud of, all thanks to Ellis! We can't wait to work with I&B again!”

She helped us design a few of our neglected bedrooms and turned them into rooms with personality so fitting for each of our three kids! Throughout the process, Katie was so warm and responsive – whether it was via email, text, phone or in person…she was always there to help. She is so creative and truly has a unique sense of style with an edge. She presents you with a variety of options and ideas at affordable prices.

“I’m enormously impressed with the interior design group ‘Ivory & Bone,’ affectionately known as ‘The Chickens’ because of their youthful exuberance and undeniable talent. Katie Goodrich, the owner, assigned Ellis Conforti, as the lead designer, who was the driving force behind the transformation of my townhouse, and the entire experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

From our very first meeting, it was clear that Ivory & Bone was more than just a design team; they were visionaries who were eager to bring my unique personality and world travel experiences to life within my living space. Katie, Ellis, and Emma Greco took the time to truly understand my tastes, preferences, and the eclectic mix of items I had collected from French antiques to an African leopard, zebra rug, masks and zulu shields.

The design process was a collaborative and exciting journey. Ivory & Bone’s ability to seamlessly blend traditional and modern aesthetics created a space that is both comfortable and visually stunning. Every piece of furniture was handpicked to complement my existing belongings, resulting in a cohesive and harmonious design that told the story of my life and adventures. What truly sets Ivory & Bone apart is their attention to detail and their commitment to making their clients’ dreams a reality.

Ellis was a pleasure to work with, and her enthusiasm and dedication to the project were evident at every step. She not only listened to my ideas but also brought the whole team’s innovative suggestions to the table, elevating the design to new heights. The end result was nothing short of magical. My townhouse now feels like an extension of myself, a reflection of my personality and the countries that I’ve been fortunate to visit. Thanks to Ivory & Bone, my home is not just a place to live but a work of art that tells my story to everyone who visits.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ivory & Bone to anyone seeking an interior design team that is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely passionate about their craft. If you want a space that transcends mere aesthetics and truly represents who you are, there’s no better choice than Ivory & Bone, the group of young, talented ladies who’ve earned their nickname, ‘The Chickens,’ with their fresh and innovative approach to interior design. Thank you, Katie, Ellis and Emma for making my townhouse a place I’m proud to call home.”

“In 2016, my husband and I moved from a 1400 sq. foot apartment in Manhattan to an over 4000 sq. foot home in Portsmouth, NH. Needless to say, we had a lot of rooms to fill! After a brief, disappointing experience with another design firm, we talked with friends and colleagues to find a design firm we could trust. Enter Katie Goodrich of Ivory & Bone Interiors! We don’t have a “style” that is easily categorized but Katie was able to expertly discover the design aesthetic we were seeking. The process was highly collaborative, which was very important to me. She is patient and dedicated to find just the right pieces at the right price point. I’ve sought her input when I’ve found items on my own and that has been invaluable. Katie helped us furnish and decorate 6 rooms and we’re currently working on transforming our outdoor space. I couldn’t be happier with the results so far. I really enjoy working with Katie and highly recommend her.”

“Our family relocated across the county in 2022 and our new home needed some serious TLC. After interviewing several interior designers, I had an introductory conversation with Katie and knew right away her team was perfect for our project. Katie’s elegant and contemporary design vision is the heart of Ivory and Bone and her team works together seamlessly. Day-to-day, we worked closely with Ellis who is an exceptionally talented designer. She listened closely to what we wanted and delivered beautiful options for us to choose from. The design process was streamlined and communication was flawless. We’re thrilled with the result and will be making memories with family and friends in our beautiful home for years to come. Working with Ivory and Bone was delightful and we can’t wait to work with them again!”

“Katie is an ace who found her calling! My home is quite traditional and really needed updating, I was trepidatious at first to jump in, but after meeting Katie it just felt right. We began in my master bedroom, I really wanted something serene and updated and from the first inspiration photo I knew she had nailed it. The fact that she assembles a project plan and memo board for you to see where you’re headed is not only fantastic, but very reassuring. Transformation is remarkable. She blended it seamlessly with the style of our home, which was no small feat. The result is exactly what we wanted and her aesthetic is impeccable, but her approach is what will have us using her again and again. It was always about us - not her, “Does this feel right”?, “What speaks to you”? and “Which do you prefer”? She was never pushy or overbearing, quite comforting actually. I can't recommend her enough, the fact that we will be tackling new projects with her shortly should say it all!”

Doug York

“What makes Katie amazing is her ability to bring out the unique, personal aesthetic that already exists within you. She pulled out the elements I was drawn to and blended styles to create a space that feels different yet inviting. Katie’s patient approach made me feel comfortable when I was seeking direction and I’m reminded by customers, almost daily, of her skill to wow people.”

“I was more than halfway there with my paint, lighting, furniture, and accessories but my space didn’t feel quite “finished” – I needed a final step and I knew I couldn’t accomplish what I needed to by myself so I contacted Ivory & Bone for a consultation. My job wasn’t a big one, but Katie and E were so responsive and engaged and genuinely enthusiastic that I felt like their only client! Not only did they make very spot-on and thorough concept boards for me, they were absolutely lovely and professional to work with. I also recommend following their blog for more ideas and just for fun!”

“I thought it would be helpful to create a snapshot of what it’s like to work with Katie. Now keep in mind it is pretty well known that she is my sister, but I think a lot of people would agree that working with Katie is a one of a kind experience. I told her I wanted my preschool to be different. To LOOK different. It was going to be one of the defining factors that differentiated me from other preschools in the area. I had pinned a lot of ideas, but like most people I was overwhelmed by the thought of execution. I needed to pass this off to Katie while I took care of the business end. I said, “Okay no primary colors and give it a modern twist.” She came back with a board “No, this is wayyy too modern, too much neon, too sterile. I need it warmer!” Second concept board comes in. “Katie this looks like a baby nursery, no!” At this point, anyone who knows my sister would be surprised to hear she didn’t flip the table. She weirdly stayed calm, I could tell she enjoyed the challenge. “Okay. Okay.” she says “I am going to figure this out.” That’s the thing about Katie...I didn't know what the hell I wanted. I just knew what I didn’t want. One of Katie’s biggest strengths is taking what you like, taking what you don’t like and helping you to create your own unique style. Her taste is SO good that she can elevate the design to something that you couldn’t even have imagined. Her knowledge of product on the internet blows my mind. She can go high end and low end. She EXECUTES and as a business owner, that is what you need during the hectic time of opening. When giving tours people are in love with the space. It’s warm, modern, unique, stylish...just like Ivory & Bone. Thank you Katie - It was a pleasure.”

It was beyond what I could have imaged. My husband and I both love it which is also a win because we don’t always agree on style. Katie not only helped us pull the look together but she got us in touch with a general contractor who was great to work with. He does some of the best work I have seen. The whole experience was amazing, Katie was so great to work with and super responsive. I can’t wait until we redecorate our next room, we will be using Ivory and Bone again!”

After our initial conversation, she was able to come back with vision boards for two large executive briefing centers, offering a scope that truly transformed the spaces beyond what I could have hoped for!! Her vision was clear, and defined and once completed absolutely invigorated the feel of the space. Both offices see hundreds of visitors per year and we are constantly receiving compliments on the new decor, lay out, and vibe! Working with Katie was natural, fun and easy!

She easily merged items to move the overall scheme to something I was comfortable and excited with. She decorates with the client always in mind but will offer up ideas when you don’t have them. I was decorating long distance so we did a lot online and Katie took the extra steps to be there since I wasn't able to be. She took care of everything and turned over a beautiful completed project.

“I purchased my first home earlier this year and Ivory and Bone has been absolutely instrumental in helping me transform the house into something that I love. I had never needed to buy quality furniture before and didn’t give much thought to the layout of my previous apartments. Just the thought of furnishing and designing an entire house on my own was daunting and overwhelming. Katie came in, got an idea of what I liked and what I didn’t – and then helped me make that a reality. She’s been involved in just about every single detail of the process  – what color paint for each room, what type of sectional sofa to get, ideas for maximizing the back yard. She even helped me with remodeling decisions…before I even moved in. She’s creative, resourceful, responsive and most importantly easy to work with. I can honestly say that without her help, I wouldn’t be nearly as happy as I am with the way everything has turned out. Can’t recommend her enough!”

We have three competing styles, mine, my husbands, and our Airdale. Katie did a great job in merging those three styles, giving ideas to bring in new elements all while keeping the house streamlined. Now when I am out shopping at a home store or even at a yard sale I now have a sense of what “fits” in my home. That’s a priceless gift!”

She knows where to find the right products and materials that blend both style and comfort and has an exceptional eye for color. I appreciated how accessible she was and how quickly she responded and rectified any issues, always staying within our budget. We began the renovation with our two living rooms that have been transformed into beautiful spaces looking 2X the actual cost. More importantly, the design she chose will stand the test of time, not going out of style 10 years down the road. Katie made me feel super comfortable even though it was the first time working with a designer. She has great vision and creative ideas. We are eager to work with Katie again on a full basement and kitchen renovation.”

We finally decided to go for it & enlisted Katie of Ivory & Bone Interiors to help get it just right. Katie was fantastic to work with from start to finish! We had some thoughts on what we wanted and Katie supplied endless ideas as our design evolved over time.

“Working with Katie allowed me to take a big exhale. I had a bunch of ideas but I didn’t know how they’d fit together or what the next step should be. Katie helped to create cohesive clear vision for our home. She helped me delete projects that would cost more than the value they would add, and to add a few projects that wouldn’t cost much, but would make a big difference in the overall feel of our home. She’s well versed in how to optimize the look and feel of every space. We are still in the process. I can’t wait to see what the “final” product looks like. An added bonus: Katie is caring, fun, funny, and of course has an innate sense of style.”

She has a clear point of view about what a space should look like and how it should function, and she skillfully blends her vision with client input and tastes. She is conscious of budget and transparent in pricing and approach, and is incredibly responsive and available to her clients. Large projects are a significant investment of time and effort for all involved, so at the end of the day, you need to work with someone that is knowledgeable, inspires confidence and is easy and fun to work with. Katie is all that and more. She makes your home more functional and beautiful than you would have ever imagined. Five stars (and more)!”

“I am overwhelmed by decorating. Fashion I can do. I can spend hours putting together different looks in my head, but when it comes to decorating...my mind goes blank and I shut down. I don’t even know where to begin! Enter Ivory and Bone Interiors. The incredible interior design team from my hometown of New England. They TRANSFORMED my tiny studio in the West Village of NYC. I am a teacher so you can imagine that I am on a tight budget. They knew all the places to go for a great find without sacrificing quality, I was amazed! We got a leather chair from Urban Outfitters, gigantic frames from Homegoods and a chandelier from a warehouse in the lighting district. I splurged on a rug from Pottery Barn, because like fashion, you always need a good staple! I would say the best part about working with Ivory and Bone was their patience and work ethic. They took the time to shop with me and figure out what I wanted. They helped me find my sense of style and elevated it. They have impeccable taste and aren’t afraid to push you outside of your comfort zone. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get from my friends in NYC.
