Beautifully Livable Interiors Crafted With Soul
At Brass & Brine, we believe every space should reflect the lives and dreams of those who dwell within. We create timeless spaces that nurture connection, comfort, and creativity for our clients.
Our Philosophy - Designing Interiors That Reflect You
At Brass & Brine, design begins with purpose. Every project is about optimizing space — creating flow, balance, and function that elevate daily living. Our work blends vintage and custom elements with modern sensibility, ensuring each space feels layered and one-of-a-kind. Influenced by the ease of coastal chic, the elegance of Art Deco, and the warmth of southern and eclectic styles, we craft interiors that are timeless, soulful, and distinctly personal.
About Our Founder
Meet Lauren Shanks — the creative force behind Brass & Brine Design. After years leading complex projects in the corporate world, Lauren swapped spreadsheets for swatches and launched her design studio on Maryland & Delaware’s Eastern Shore. Her philosophy? Design should be beautiful, yes — but more importantly, it should be livable.
Lauren mixes coastal details, vintage soul, and a touch of whimsy to craft spaces that feel effortless and elevated. Whether she’s designing a cozy beach-side living room or a vibrant community-center lobby, she leans into collaboration — with clients, local artists, and vendors — to build interiors full of character, place, and purpose.
