the challenges
Creating a Stylish, Pet-Friendly Dining Room for Entertaining in Peoria, AZ
.01 Making it Personal
Beckyâs cherished map, originally a large, laminated poster from her old home, posed a challenge in her new Peoria, AZ, space.
It didnât 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 roomâs 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 spaceâthey 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 didnât 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 roomâs 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 decisionsâwithout second-guessing or fear of regret. Thatâs 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 whatâs available at retail.
Design Development

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 donât have to lift a finger. With our experienced, detail-driven approach, the result is a stress-free transformationâand a beautifully finished space that feels effortlessly complete.
