“Let’s Go Shopping!”

What Clients Are Saying

“Finding someone to decorate your home in New York isn’t difficult, but finding the right person is. Someone who brings creativity, generosity, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuine respect for what your home means to your family is far more rare. Stacey is exactly that, and more.

My home on Shelter Island is deeply special to my family, filled with sentiment and history. Stacey immediately understood its significance. She thoughtfully sourced beautiful, unique artwork and furniture while seamlessly incorporating the existing pieces that matter most to us.

She was always available to talk through ideas, gently steering me away from those that didn’t quite work - and always doing so with warmth and good humor. Her eye for detail is exceptional, and her vision brought a renewed sense of light, elegance, and cohesion to the home.”

Marc Wancer, NYC

“An absolute game changer. Stacey's eye, intuition, and execution completely transformed my space and the way I live in it.”

Karen Winston, Calabasas, CA

“Stacey made my new rental home feel like it had been thoughtfully curated over years, layered with art and furniture that felt entirely my own, and she did it all over one long weekend.

She has an incredible ability to pick up the thread of someone’s style and bring it to life in a way that feels both authentic and considered. Her adventurous spirit makes the entire process feel exciting and approachable, even for someone who has never worked with a designer before. She uncovered the soul of the space and created an environment that continues to receive endless compliments. I’m so grateful for her energy. I now live in a home I not only love being in, but truly enjoy sharing and entertaining in.”

Jake Ottmann, Los Angeles, CA

“I also own two other properties, each with its own distinct personality. In Shelter Island, New York, my 1940s home presents its fair share of quirks and challenges. Stacey intuitively sourced from a local vintage shop, finding pieces that felt perfectly at home there. She refreshed the fireplace with a new paint scheme and reworked the layout, moving existing art and furniture in a way that brought cohesion, flow, and a sense of intention to the space.

Meanwhile, in Mammoth Lakes, California, she leaned into the character of my 1970s post-and-beam condo, honoring its architecture while subtly elevating it. She has a remarkable ability to work within what exists, enhancing rather than overpowering, and always creating something that feels deeply personal, layered, and alive.”

Jake Ottmann, Shelter Island, NY & Mammoth, CA

“What struck me most when we started working with Stacey was how deeply she wanted to understand us before making a single design recommendation. She walked through each room, then walked through them again. She asked thoughtful questions about how we actually live, what happens in each space every day, and how we wanted our home to feel.

Stacey truly listened. She saw possibilities where we saw challenges.  She has an extraordinary talent for seeing not just what a home is, but what it can become. Her excitement throughout the process was contagious. She would visit flea markets, antique shops, and unique sources, somehow always finding pieces that felt as though they had been waiting for our home all along. Rather than replacing everything, she thoughtfully built on what we already owned and loved, layering in beautiful finds that added warmth, character, and soul.

The result was more than a beautifully designed home. Stacey created spaces that feel deeply personal, authentic, and uniquely ours. Every room reflects who we are and how we live. Stacey didn't just help us decorate a house; she helped us create a sanctuary. More than anything, she gave us a home that we love coming back to every day.  We are grateful for the warmth, comfort, and beauty she helped bring into our lives.”

Nicole Lomas, Pasadena, CA

“It was a dream to work with Stacey! She has such a clear vision, keen eye, and creative spirit. She worked with us on every step of the process, offered immediate, creative solutions that made a huge difference in our home, and brought our ideas to life!

Stacey brought together a team of highly skilled professionals who all worked toward a shared goal. She managed the project from start to finish and brought us along every step of the way.

We loved the entire process, and the result!

About Stay Mann Design

I provide comprehensive, full-service interior design tailored to each client’s unique lifestyle, aesthetic, and goals.

My work begins with an in-home consultation, where I carefully assess your existing furnishings and architecture and develop a scope of work that may involve enhancing and refining what you already have or introducing thoughtfully curated additions.

Whether sourcing distinctive new pieces, accompanying you on guided shopping excursions, or independently procuring items from a detailed list, I ensure every selection feels cohesive, enduring, and personal.

From full-scale remodels and ground-up construction to reimagining a single room, no project is too ambitious or too intimate.

With years of hands-on experience and a meticulous eye for detail, I bring both creative vision and technical expertise to every project.

I specialize in creating harmonious spaces, visualizing layouts, and seamlessly blending design knowledge with a practical, resourceful approach. The result is an environment that is not only beautiful, but also functional, authentic, and uniquely yours.
