Maitland is one of Central Florida’s most polished and well-established communities — a leafy, lakeside city with a strong arts and cultural identity, sitting right between Winter Park and Altamonte Springs. Its mix of elegant lakefront homes, well-maintained mid-century properties, and upscale newer builds makes it a place where interior design quality is noticed and valued. I understand the standard Maitland homeowners expect, and I bring 40 years of experience and a considered approach to every project.
I am not just a designer — I am a creative partner in your project. I am based in Winter Garden and serve Maitland homeowners, builders, and realtors who want spaces that look beautiful and function for real life. I understand the design expectations in this community and deliver interiors that meet them.
Whether you are designing a forever home, renovating a property you have lived in for years, or furnishing a vacation rental that needs to impress from the first listing photo, I bring the same level of care and expertise to every project.
Maitland homeowners have a sharp eye for quality and an appreciation for spaces
that feel both refined and livable. Whether your style is modern and minimal, warm,
and traditional, or something entirely your own, I design your vision — not mine.
From luxury renovations and whole-home designs to single-room refreshes and
commercial interiors, Stones Design LLC brings award-winning design
expertise to every Maitland project.
I offer a full range of interior design services including new construction and custom build design, home renovation and remodeling, room-by-room refreshes, furniture selection and space planning, color consulting, and complete turnkey projects — designed and furnished from scratch. I also work on commercial and hospitality interiors.
Yes. I offer free in-home design consultations in Maitland. We will walk through your space together, discuss how you live and what you want to change, and provide expert guidance tailored to your home, style, and budget.
Timelines vary depending on the scope. A single-room refresh can take a few weeks, while a full home design or renovation project typically runs over several months. For larger Maitland properties, I provide a detailed timeline at the start, so you always know what to expect.
Absolutely. Maitland has a strong mix of beautiful homes and professional commercial spaces, and I work across both. Whether you need a home interior designed from scratch, a lakefront property refreshed, or a commercial space that reflects your brand, I can help.
Ready to transform your space? Let’s talk about your
home and bring your vision to life — with a design that is
as functional as it is beautiful.
