Scottsdale Interior Designer
Sentenac House Interiors is a boutique Scottsdale interior designer and design atelier authoring whole homes, new builds, and full renovations across Scottsdale and the surrounding desert. We design the home that holds your story — and your legacy. Not the model home. Not the house down the street. Yours.
A Scottsdale Studio That Designs in Every Language
Scottsdale is not one style, and neither are we. We move easily between modern and traditional, Spanish Revival and Mission — and we let the architecture, the light, and the people who live there decide which one is right. What stays constant is the standard: custom by default, heirloom-driven, built to feel right twenty years from now rather than twenty minutes after the reveal.
Our work here ranges from clean-lined contemporary new builds to warm, layered ranch homes — and we genuinely love the ranch homes. There's a grounded, lived-in honesty to them that rewards real craft: plaster, timber, hand-glazed tile, antiques with a story. We design for that.
What We Design in Scottsdale
We take on whole-home renovations, new construction, and full remodels — not single-room refreshes. Every project is authored through the Sentenac House Formula and held to one standard, whether it's a desert-modern build or a traditional estate.
- Whole-home interior design and full renovations
- New construction, designed from the floor plan forward
- Multi-million-dollar spec homes
- Ranch home renovations and additions
- Kitchen, primary suite, and whole-home remodels
New Builds, From the Blueprint Forward
The best new builds are designed before the slab is poured. We work alongside your architect and builder from the earliest plans — selecting finishes, refining elevations and layouts, and making the structural moves that turn a builder's blueprint into a home with a point of view. We've designed multi-million-dollar spec homes across Scottsdale, and the discipline is the same whether the home is for you or for the market: every decision is intentional, documented, and accountable.
From Builder-Grade to Truly Custom
Many Scottsdale homes start with good bones and builder-standard finishes — and that's exactly where we love to begin. We elevate builder-grade homes into something custom and collected: replacing flat-pack with commissioned, swapping catalog tile for hand-glazed, layering in millwork, lighting, and one-of-one pieces until the house no longer looks like anyone else's. The goal is never to follow a trend. It's to make the home unmistakably yours.
The Scottsdale Areas We Love
We design throughout Scottsdale and reach out to the edges of the desert — north to Rio Verde and east to Fountain Hills, where the lots are bigger, the views are longer, and there's room to build something with real presence. From central Scottsdale ranch homes to new builds on the outer ridgelines, our work spans the whole map.
How a Scottsdale Project Comes Together
Phase 01 · Discovery — Application, a 45-minute consult, and a slow conversation about how you actually live, gather, and want to be remembered in this home.
Phase 02 · Concept — Mood, palette, materials, and the architectural moves that set the direction.
Phase 03 · Details & Sourcing — Commissioned pieces alongside antiques and trade-library sourcing. Construction documentation and 3D renderings keep every move accountable. Every piece is approved before a single PO leaves the studio.
Phase 04 · Install — An all-in-one reveal. Beds made, art hung, candles lit. You arrive to a finished home — not a punch list.
Who We Serve in Scottsdale
If you read this and feel seen, we're already speaking the same language. You love your family and your home enough to invest in making it truly yours. You've toured the model home and the neighbor's house — and you want neither. You'd rather wait for the right thing than settle for a placeholder. And you can say, "I trust you — just tell me what to do."
We're not for everyone. If your full project investment is under $40K, a stager will serve you well. If you want Pinterest replication or trend-chasing, we're not your studio. We author; we don't copy.
