SDID Stacy Drew Interior Design

One of the biggest misconceptions about interior design is that every project starts from scratch. Honestly? Some of the best spaces don’t.

This dining room already had beautiful foundational pieces — the warmth of the wood beams, the live-edge table, the sculptural lighting. The goal here was refining the room rather than reinventing it.

We focused on layering in the right rug to soften the darker finishes, ground the space, and improve the scale of the room overall. Then came the styling: simple organic branches, warm candlelight, and just enough texture to make the space feel finished without competing with the architecture.

Sometimes good design is knowing what not to change.

Designing for pre-teens is always a balancing act: you want the room to feel fun and personal now, without becoming something they outgrow six months later.

For this bedroom, we leaned into a sporty theme in a way that still felt clean, elevated, and age-flexible. The oversized football field mural adds personality and impact immediately, while the darker palette, layered textures, and streamlined furniture help the room grow with him over time.

And yes — storage was doing some heavy lifting here too. Built-in drawers help maximize floor space and keep the inevitable “pre-teen collection of absolutely everything” slightly more contained.

A kid’s room can absolutely feel playful and well-designed at the same time.
