Stephanie Wohlner’s finished projects reflect her love of the process – translating client’s ideas into nuanced design that expresses their personality and style in warm, tailored interiors. Her focus is on the needs of the family, and the requirements of their lifestyle, to create beautiful and balanced living spaces. She combines design with function, juxtaposing seemingly disparate objects, to create interest through contrast.

Her use of color, textures and patterns is flexible, based on the tastes and preferences of the client. Her objective is to create interior charisma – with an eclectic mix of antiques and contemporary furnishings, or with classic modern pieces. Stephanie’s refined taste and experience results in comfortable homes possessing timeless elegance.

“Every little detail is perfect—I wouldn’t change one thing after four years of living in this house.”

“We wanted our kids to feel comfortable in every room in the house. They love playing hide-and-seek in the living room, and all the furniture Stephanie selected has held up well over the years.”

“To complement our vintage building, Stephanie was able to come up with a new traditional look that juxtaposed comfortable textures with luxurious, unexpected accents.”

“Little tweaks she made to the architect’s plans— like outlet locations, the size of the powder room, the focal point of a hallway—helped us get exactly what we wanted from the start, instead of having to retrofit after the house was built.”

“Our home was a rehab, and Stephanie was able to modify some of our existing pieces while mixing in new furniture and details to really capture our family’s personality and lifestyle.”

“The previous designer we had worked with was so formal, and I felt uncomfortable letting her know how I really felt. Stephanie was recommended by our architect, and I immediately felt comfortable.”

“If I ever have a second home—or a third or a fourth—I will definitely work with Stephanie again. Working with her was phenomenal, as comfortable as being with an old friend.”

“She has an incredible sense of style and color… I love my home.”
