Interior design is more than selecting beautiful furniture or picking the right paint color-it’s about creating a lifestyle. At Shae Design Studio, we believe your home should be a sanctuary, a statement, and a space that functions with your everyday life. As trends come and go, we focus on creating interiors that stand the test of time while incorporating modern design elements that keep your space feeling fresh and inspired.
Whether you’re building a new home, undergoing a renovation, or simply revamping a room that no longer sparks joy, we’re here to help you make design choices that blend timeless elegance with your unique lifestyle.
Where Classic Meets Contemporary
At our Knoxville-based design studio and showroom, we see it all-clients who lean into clean lines and neutral tones, and others who love bold patterns, dramatic lighting, and layered textures. Our job? To strike the perfect balance.
We embrace classic foundations-rich wood finishes, soft neutrals, handcrafted details-and elevate them with current design cues like curved furniture silhouettes, statement stone, matte metals, and organic, sculptural decor. The result is a space that doesn’t just follow trends-it transcends them.
2025 Design Trends We’re Loving
Want to refresh your home without worrying about whether it’ll still feel “in” next year? Here are a few of the trends we’re loving right now-and how we help our clients use them in a timeless way.
Natural Elements, Elevated: Warm woods, natural stone, and woven textures are grounding interiors this year-and not just in rustic homes. We’re incorporating these elements in upscale, unexpected ways-think fluted oak cabinetry, travertine coffee tables, and mixed-media art installations.
Moody, Muted Palettes: Neutrals aren’t going anywhere, but they’re getting a makeover. Greige, clay, moss, charcoal, and deep navy are taking center stage. We love using these moody tones in a layered, subtle way-through wall treatments, velvet accent chairs, or textured drapes.
Curves & Soft Geometry: Sofas with rounded backs, waterfall-edge counters, and arched cabinetry are all in high demand. These shapes soften a space and add an artistic touch without overwhelming it.
Cozy Minimalism: More and more clients want spaces that feel calm, uncluttered, and warm. We design with intention-every piece has a purpose, whether it’s functional or purely aesthetic. The result? A clean look that still feels full of life.
Tailored to You
Design isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Shae Designs, we take the time to understand how you live—do you host weekly dinner parties? Work from home? Need space for kids or pets? Love quiet mornings in your sunroom?
We use that insight to guide every design decision, from layout to lighting. Our team creates environments that are not only stunning but truly livable. After all, luxury doesn’t have to mean untouchable—it should mean effortless, personal, and lasting.
Our Showroom
Sometimes the hardest part of designing a space is knowing where to start. That’s why we created a showroom that acts as a playground for inspiration. Located right in Knoxville, our studio is filled with thoughtfully curated furnishings, fabrics, lighting, and accessories—all hand-picked by our design team to reflect our signature blend of timeless style and on-trend flair.
You can see pieces in person, test the comfort of a chair, and feel the texture of a custom textile. And if you’re not sure what fits your space? We’re right there to guide you, one-on-one.
We’re Not Just Designers, We’re Dream Translators
At the end of the day, it’s not just about creating a “pretty space.” It’s about creating a space that feels like you. Whether it’s the way your dining room encourages gathering or how your bedroom makes you feel at peace, the spaces we design are meant to enhance your life.
Our favorite part of what we do? Watching our clients walk into a completed room and say, “This is exactly what I wanted—even though I couldn’t describe it before.”
