SPOTLIGHT ON: LAURA HODGES

Interior Designer

Laura Hodges

Interior designer Laura Hodges believes good design is also sustainable design—and the LEED and GREEN Accredited Professional’s beautiful spaces and globally-influenced details have earned her raves in the home design world. Her Baltimore/Washington, D.C.-based boutique design firm has committed to practices such as sourcing fair trade and renewable resources, optimizing energy efficiency and indoor air quality, and recycling cabinetry and building material…resulting in thoughtful and surprising interiors that are as easy on the eye as they are on the planet.
