Debra Stewart Interiors

Give us a brief history and overview of your company.

Debra Stewart Interiors is known for its intelligence and unique sensibility. Our mission is to create meaningful spaces filled with beauty, inspiration, and artistic integrity. With 30 years of experience and a multi-disciplinary approach, we embrace art and architecture in our interior schemes for both new constructions and full renovations. The true virtuosity of our work comes from meaningful collaborations with clients, architects, and contractors to bring each project to life, from concept to completion.

If you had to describe your style in three words, what would they be?

Eclectic—in the mix of modern and traditional. Linear—clean lines are still important in my mix; the eye needs to rest. Architecture—always honor the architecture.

What do you feel distinguishes you from your competitors?

I lived in England for five years and became consumed with wanderlust. I was fortunate to travel the world and eventually settled in a bit to further my education before moving home to Texas. The world view of architecture and art allows me to move between styles and disciplines. I am not committed to one style; rather the clients and the architecture guide me.

What’s your favorite type of project to work on?

I love the construction details. Creating from scratch is the most exciting and where all things are possible. New construction is my favorite, but renovating a lovely older home also brings much joy. It is the possibilities that I love!

What’s the measure of a successful project?

Creating spaces known for their timelessness and attention to detail is paramount in our focus. For every project and every client, our highest hope and greatest achievement will always be to create meaningful homes filled with beauty, inspiration, and artistic integrity.

Can you tell us about an instance in which you delivered exceptional customer service to a client?

Finding the “ungettable”! I have had many great projects in my career, but one of the moments that stands out was when I was tasked with finding additional tile that my clients had found on their Italian honeymoon 10 years prior in California. I discussed it with them on the morning jobsite visit and agreed to be on a plane that afternoon to secure what we could.
