About

Abby Starobin is an interior designer and decorator whose focus is on rental-friendly design hacks, intentional use of color, and creating spaces that feel deeply personal. A strong understanding of spatial flow, paired with an intuitive, empathetic approach, allows her to create spaces that not only look beautiful but truly feel like home.

Abbyā€™s personal style is eclectic, colorful, and charming, inspired by a lifetime of collecting unique objects from her adventures. She loves to mix unexpected colors and patterns. Yet, sheā€™s highly adaptable and loves helping others bring their style to life, whatever that may be. She takes the time to get to know her clients and understand their stories to create spaces that genuinely resonate with them.

Her favorite part of her work is witnessing her clientsā€™ joy and excitement when they see their new space come to life. And of course, she couldnā€™t do it without her feathered assistant, Lola! She started Symphony Lane, LLC in 2022, drawing the name from the street of her childhood home.
