Paint · Space · Style

My name is Stephanie Brubaker.

I’m an Asheville-based independent design consultant. My practice is rooted in color expertise and space planning, and I love to create spaces that balance beauty and utility — layered, lived-in, and distinctly yours.

Thoughtful room layouts that improve how you live in your new or existing space — flowing, efficient, and comfortable.

Space Planning & Styling

Color & Finish Selections

A curated strategy - from wall color to built-ins to flooring - that brings a cohesive personal style to your space.

Guidance for your kitchen and bath projects - whether new construction or a remodel - with an eye on timeless function and character.

Kitchen & Bath Design

Walnut & Warmth – A Gathering Kitchen

This thoughtfully layered kitchen blends creamy quartz surfaces, rich wood accents, and deep iron cabinetry for a space that’s equal parts inviting and refined.

Layered Ease – A Modern Cozy Home

A light-filled Austin townhome designed for real living, where warm wood, sculptural seating, and clean lines create calm without feeling cold.

Timeless Contrast – Exterior Refresh for a Mediterranean Revival

A dramatic yet restrained palette gives this Mediterranean-style home renewed presence and curb appeal.

  • “Working with Stephanie felt like co-creating with a friend who just happens to have a genius eye. Our home's entire main floor is far more beautiful, functional, and reflects our style — and we actually enjoyed every step of getting there.”

    Meghan - Main Floor Refresh

  • “Trying to choose the right paint colors was stressing me out. Stephanie came to our rescue and our home feels completely transformed by the palette we chose together. People have even stopped by to ask what colors we used on our exterior.”

    Darcy - Paint Color Consultation

  • “I came to Stephanie completely overwhelmed by what to with my new office — and left feeling inspired. She has a way of guiding without pressure and somehow made the whole process feel fun. Every design choice we made felt like an elevated version of me.”

    Danica - Office Full Design

  • “I asked Stephanie to help refresh our bedrooms, but what she gave us was so much more. She completely reimagined the layouts — creating better flow, clear zones, and space that finally works for how we live. I wish I'd called her sooner."
