Space Planning 101 brought to you by Stacey Lapuk Interiors
Hello ,
If you’re considering a redesign or refresh of your existing space and plan to tackle it on your own, here are some fundamental numbers to keep in mind when space planning. Bear in mind - every inch truly makes a difference in how you will feel and function in your home!
Here's what many people don't realize: You don't need to do everything, to change everything. Sometimes, transforming how your home feels starts with just one room. One space that becomes a foundation. One space that finally feels like you. And that's where a different approach to design can make all the difference.
We’re thrilled to share a first glimpse of an upcoming design project—an extraordinary 11,000-square-foot residence nestled on 35 acres in wine country. Surrounded by sweeping views, mature landscapes, and timeless architecture, this remarkable property offers an incredible opportunity to design at a scale and setting that truly inspire.
We’re honored to be entrusted with bringing new life, beauty, and intention to this stunning home. Stay tuned!

Speaking Engagement on Biophilic Design
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to members of the Economic Round Table of San Francisco about Biophilic Design. I would like to say thank you for your kind words and feedback. It truly filled me with so much joy.
"I hadn't heard of Biophilic design and was intrigued by its exquisite sensitivity to nature, both outside our bodies and inside. You described the elements that bring peace and perspective in ones surroundings—things I had really never thought about.
"You showed how deeper feelings of safety and inspiration can be supported by selecting the right location, view, light, furnishings, fabric-the myriad of small decisions that make up an affirming environment. The breadth of your knowledge comes from long study and experience. You have learned to weave these small decisions together consciously into an integrated interior. What a gift to your clients." - Karen Crommie of the Economic Round Table

"She was interested in how I wanted to live- what my tastes and needs were. She has the quality of furnishings, the convenience, fees and accessibility I wanted. I found Stacey to be an excellent listener, interpreting my likes and dislikes into a wonderful final effect. Stacey's fees are fair for the work received. She communicated with me every step of the the way, so I felt very much a part of the whole process." - Ms. S. Updike, Larkspur CA
