I'm Stephanie Sarro, founder and principal designer at Sarro Design. With a background in architecture and a passion for the arts, I blend technical expertise with creative intuition to design homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. My eye for detail, love of color, and deep understanding of spatial design help create timeless, personalized interiors that reflect each client’s unique story. I absolutely love what I do, and I can't wait to connect with you!
When you walk into a home that feels complete, it’s hard to pinpoint just one reason why. It’s not only about having the right furniture or artwork, it’s how every element works together to create balance, cohesion, and intentionality. As a Coeur d’Alene interior designer, we believe that the difference between a beautiful house and a finished home lies in the details, flow, and feeling. Here are some interior design finishing touches must haves:
A well-designed home allows you to move through it effortlessly. The placement of furniture and the natural traffic paths guide you intuitively from room to room. When the flow works, it feels like the home is inviting you in: no awkward corners or cramped spaces, just thoughtful design.


Lighting is one of the most transformative aspects of interior design. Layering ambient, task, and accent light fixtures creates warmth and depth that can make a space feel instantly more polished. A home with intentional lighting feels alive and welcoming at any hour.

Trim work, door hardware, cabinetry pulls, and window treatments might be subtle, but together, they elevate a space from “almost there” to complete. These finishing touches are what make a home feel custom, intentional, and cohesive.

Even when each room has its own personality, a well-designed home carries a subtle thread of connection through its tones, textures, and finishes. A consistent color palette, repeated materials, and complementary finishes create a sense of rhythm that feels natural and grounded.
The most beautiful homes are also the most personal. Artwork, plants, and meaningful objects tell the homeowner’s story without overwhelming the design. The key is balance. Each piece should feel chosen, not crowded.
When you walk into a home and aren’t distracted by something “missing” or temporary, you can simply take in the story it tells. That’s when a house feels truly complete.


While every one of our projects is an example in a truly finished space, a few stand out! For our Rockwood Retreat and Menoah Estate projects, strategic personal home accents made all the difference! Custom artwork, family heirlooms, and meaningful pieces turned these stunning houses into homes.
If you’re unsure how to bring that finished feeling into your home, start small, but start intentionally.

And of course, hiring an experienced Coeur d’Alene interior designer can help bring clarity and cohesion to your vision. With expert guidance, your home can move beyond “decorated” to truly finished: a space that feels intentional, harmonious, and all yours.
