Creating a Stylish, Pet-Friendly Dining Room for Entertaining in Peoria, AZ


.01 Making it Personal

Becky’s cherished map, originally a large, laminated poster from her old home, posed a challenge in her new Peoria, AZ, space.

It didn’t fit the updated scale or style, but its sentimental value was undeniable. We sourced a smaller version of the same map and elevated it with custom framing, featuring a linen mat that matched the drapery and a frame complementing the buffet below.

This Peoria interior design project blends personal history with a polished, modern aesthetic, showcasing thoughtful, client-centered solutions.

.02 Travel-Inspired Decor

Designing a bucket list wall for this Peoria, AZ home meant creating a stylish, functional alternative to a travel pinboard.

We used flexible tab-back frames to display professional photos of dream destinations, allowing the couple to swap in personal memories as they traveled.

The result is a clean, cohesive focal point that celebrates their adventures while elevating the room’s polished aesthetic. 

This dining room needed to be a stylish, pet-friendly space that seamlessly blended function, durability, and bold design for busy professionals who love to entertain.

THE DESIGN APPROACH

Creating the Transformation

For this dining room redesign, the clients came to Stuart Design Co. looking for more than just a pretty space—they wanted a room that worked hard for their lifestyle while still making a statement. During our initial design consultation, we talked through how the space was being used day to day, their love for hosting dinner parties, and their desire for a clean, low-maintenance look that didn’t feel sterile.

From there, we moved into our signature design process: blending bold design choices with timeless elements and practical solutions. We started by establishing the room’s layout, focusing on functionality and flow. Clean lines, streamlined storage, and durable furnishings set the foundation for a clutter-free space that feels open and easy to navigate.

Design Concept

We know clients want to feel confident in their design decisions—without second-guessing or fear of regret. That’s why we present detailed renderings alongside curated selections, showcasing exactly how the space will come together.

Each piece, from custom furnishings to designer lighting and textiles, is thoughtfully chosen for quality and style.

Our process makes it easy to say yes, knowing everything has been expertly tailored and sourced beyond what’s available at retail.

Design Development

We understand that the thought of managing a design project—coordinating trades, timelines, and installations—can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve built a seamless implementation process that takes the pressure off our clients.

For this one-room transformation, we managed every detail behind the scenes, from scheduling contractors to overseeing the installation of wallcoverings, lighting, custom furnishings, art, and draperies.

Our team works hand-in-hand with trusted professionals to ensure everything is executed exactly as planned. We anticipate challenges before they arise, troubleshoot on the spot, and keep things moving so our clients don’t have to lift a finger. With our experienced, detail-driven approach, the result is a stress-free transformation—and a beautifully finished space that feels effortlessly complete.

Implementation

Our dining room design concept focused on blending effortless elegance with everyday functionality—a top request among homeowners searching for stylish, low-maintenance interiors.

We used clean lines, bold accents, and timeless textures to create a modern dining space that feels both upscale and livable. Every material was chosen for its durability and easy-care qualities, making it ideal for busy families.

FINAL RESULT

A Seamless, Sophisticated Dining Room


This one-room transformation in Peoria, AZ turned a small dining space into a bold, functional retreat tailored for entertaining and everyday living. With custom furnishings, statement lighting, and a travel-inspired gallery wall, the design blends elegance with personality. Through detailed renderings and seamless coordination, we delivered a stress-free experience—resulting in a polished, pet-friendly space that reflects the clients' lifestyle and love of design.

Our first room as ‘we’—and it’s perfect.”

This was our first space designed together after blending homes, and Stephanie made it feel like ours. It’s warm, personal, and so us.
