Design That Survives a Real Springdale Family
Beautiful is easy in a photograph. The harder job is a house that still looks good after school runs, muddy boots and a kitchen that feeds six people on a Tuesday.
- Layouts fixed first, finishes second

Elle & Ivy Interiors is an award-winning Arkansas interior design company, recognized twice by the Interior Design Society of Arkansas for its 2024–2025 work and featured in At Home in Arkansas.
That work spans the full range: new construction alongside your builder, whole-house and single-room remodeling, and complete interior decorating through to the final styled install. One designer runs the project from the first walkthrough to the last cushion, and every selection is documented rather than decided on site.
New Construction
Finishes, lighting and cabinetry planned with your builder before anything is installed, so decisions are made against one plan instead of an allowance sheet.
Remodeling
Whole-house renovations, kitchens and bathrooms — layout resolved first, then finishes chosen to last, coordinated with your contractor throughout.
Complete Decorating
Furniture, lighting, textiles, artwork and styling, procured and installed. Rooms handed over finished, not merely renovated.
Designing in Springdale
Most Springdale Projects Start With a Frustration
People rarely call us here because they want a new look. They call because something about the house has stopped working.
The kitchen was walled off when the house was built in 1998 and whoever is cooking is cut off from everyone else. There is no landing zone for backpacks and shoes, so the dining table has become one. The main bathroom worked fine for two people and does not work at all for four.
So we start with function. What is the actual traffic pattern through this house on a weekday morning? Where does the mess collect, and why? Fixing that is usually worth more than any finish selection.
Once the plan works, the finishes get chosen for how they will hold up. Springdale houses take real use — the design has to account for that rather than pretend otherwise.
Two 2024–2025 Designer of the Year titles from the Interior Design Society of Arkansas sit on the shelf, and they matter less to most Springdale families than the practical question: does the person designing this understand a house with four people and a dog in it.

Why This Works for Family Houses
01 Function before finishes
We fix how the house works first. A beautiful kitchen with the same bad layout is still a bad kitchen.
02 Honest about what wears
Some materials look wonderful and cannot handle a family. We will tell you which is which before you buy, not after.
03 Phased if you need it
Not every family can shut down a kitchen and a bathroom in the same year. Projects can be staged around your life and budget.
04 Straight answers on cost
We talk money early and shape the scope to fit, rather than presenting a number you were not expecting at the end.
Our Process
A clear path from first call to finished home
01
Share Your Vision
We talk through your home, how you live in it, and what you want to change.
02
Define the Scope
Together we set the rooms, priorities, selections and budget the project will cover.
03
Design & Construction
Selections are documented and carried through, coordinated with your builder or contractor.
04
Furnish & Style
Furniture, lighting and finishing details are installed and styled to complete the home.

Case Study · Fayetteville, Arkansas
The Same Rooms, Rethought
These photographs are from the Adams Estate Whole-House Renovation in Fayetteville, Arkansas — not a Springdale project, but the clearest illustration of how far a room can move.
That was a large renovation and yours may be one room. Look past the scale at the sequence — the layout was settled before a single finish was chosen, which is the same order we would work in on a Springdale kitchen.

Stephanie Bowen
Owner & Principal Designer
Stephanie Bowen owns Elle & Ivy Interiors and personally runs every project.
She spends the first meeting mostly listening — how the mornings go, who cooks, where everyone actually ends up sitting. That is where the useful design decisions come from.
She was named 2024–2025 Designer of the Year by the Interior Design Society of Arkansas, and her work has appeared in At Home in Arkansas.

FAQ
Springdale interior design questions
Can you just do our kitchen?
Absolutely. Single-room remodels are a large part of what we do in Springdale, and there is no obligation to expand the scope afterwards.
Can you open up a wall between the kitchen and living room?
Often yes, but it depends on whether the wall is load-bearing. We plan the layout with your contractor so we know what is structurally possible before any selections are made.
We have young kids and pets. Will the materials hold up?
That is a normal constraint, not a compromise. Performance fabrics, the right flooring and sensible finishes can take heavy use and still look good — we just have to choose them deliberately.
Can we do the project in phases?
Yes, and many families do. We can set the overall direction now and execute it in stages so the finished rooms still relate to each other.
How much should we budget?
It varies too much to quote blind. We discuss it openly in the first conversation and build a scope that fits the number, rather than the other way round.
Do you handle the furniture too?
Yes — furniture, lighting, rugs, window treatments and the final styling, if you want the room finished rather than just renovated.
How long will we be without a kitchen?
That depends on your contractor and lead times more than on us. We will give you a realistic range up front and flag anything with a long lead early.
