SARAH PHILLIPS DESIGN Co

 Interior design for Tampa Bay & beyond

Our homes should be an extension of our lives.

We design spaces that feel elevated yet effortlessly livable, layered with story, character, and the details most homes miss.

A little bit about Sarah Phillips Design Co.

We design homes that look like they evolved over time, never like they were finished in a weekend.

Our favorite rooms mix eras. A well-loved antique beside a clean, modern lamp. A splurge-worthy sofa with a flea market find. A familiar classic with one surprise you didn’t see coming. A house filled from a catalog or copied from someone’s instagram rarely feels like home.

We’re drawn to texture and to things that show their age honestly: a weathered wood table, brass that’s developed a patina over time, pottery with a chip or two. Those marks are often what give a room its warmth and character.

We choose materials and fabrics meant to wear well for years, not just look good in photos. If we wouldn’t live with it ourselves, it won’t end up in your home.

With over 20 years in residential and commercial design, Sarah has learned that the difference between a nice room and a memorable one is always in the details: contrast, warm layered lighting, pieces that are properly scaled, art with personality, and architecture that’s been given attention. She appreciates every style, and the result is always a balance of your taste and her eye.

In the end, your home should tell your story, not someone else’s..

The aesthetic of your home impacts your daily life more than you know.

Maybe this sounds familiar…

You know your home is off, but you can’t put your finger on what.

You’ve saved hundreds of ideas, yet you’re not sure how to bring them together into something that feels like you.

You’ve hesitated to invest in your home because you’re worried about making an expensive mistake

This is where we come in. We see the things most people feel but can’t name: a rug that’s too small, lighting that falls flat, a room missing the one piece that would tie it together. Whether you’re building, renovating, or finishing a home that’s almost there, we take the lead, guide each decision, and keep you involved in the moments that matter most.

Design can be extremely overwhelming. Our job is to carry that weight for you: the sourcing, the ordering, the coordinating, and the hundreds of small decisions in between. You get your time back, and the confidence that every dollar is going where it will make the biggest difference.

 
 
 

For clients building, renovating, or furnishing multiple rooms. We guide every layer, from architectural details to the last collected piece, so you can enjoy the process instead of managing it.

For rooms that are nearly there but don’t quite feel finished. We help decide what stays and what goes, then source the select pieces (vintage, custom, or one of a kind) that pull the space together.

For homeowners or builders with a construction team in place who want more than a standard package. We guide the flooring, tile, lighting, cabinetry, and finishes so your home has character from the start.

“Working with a design team who truly ‘gets’ the balance between high-end style and the beautiful chaos of family life is a rare find. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Sarah and team weren't just looking to create a showroom; they were looking to create a home… They remained remarkably disciplined with our budget, finding clever ways to deliver luxury without overspending… If you want a home that feels as good as it looks, and a team that treats your project with genuine heart, look no further.”

“Working with Sarah turned out to be a truly transformative experience… Sarah helped me to narrow down my style and seamlessly brought together bold statement pieces with quiet luxury and functionality. The communication throughout the project was far more than I expected… I am still pinching myself that I get to live in my dream space that she and her amazing team curated just for our family.”

Julie H. · Old Seminole Heights

“Working with Sarah and her team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She took the time to truly understand my vision, lifestyle, and design preferences, then elevated them in ways I could never imagine. Sarah's attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were exceptional. I have worked with Sarah on several projects over the years and she continues to exceed my expectations every time.”
