Our Story
SAS Interior Design began with a simple idea: good design should feel more accessible.
Designing your own space can be surprisingly hard. The options feel endless, and it can be difficult to step back and see the whole picture.
What starts as “I just need to pick a tile” can turn into a full-blown design rabbit hole before construction even starts.
SAS was created to simplify that process.
ABOUT ME
I’m Sarah Smith. Yes, possibly one of the most common names in America. Thankfully, my design background has a little more personality.
It took me a few extra years to earn my bachelor’s degree in interior design, but the scenic route turned out to be worth it. I grew up just outside of San Francisco, eventually made my way to New York, where I graduated from Pratt Institute, and fit in a stint in Italy along the way that still influences how I see architecture, materials, and design.
My career has taken me from a boutique architecture studio in New York to an interior design showroom in Mill Valley, California, and now to Atlanta, where I work for an amazing boutique interior design studio. That West Coast-to-East Coast-to-South trajectory has given me a pretty broad design vocabulary and, I like to think, a point of view that is hard to pin to one place.
I love classic and timeless interiors, warm and organic spaces, clean contemporary design, and the occasional unexpected detail. More than any one style, I’m drawn to rooms that feel fresh, collected, functional, and built for real life.
Much of my work focuses on kitchens, bathrooms, and renovations, which means I spend a lot of time thinking about the details that actually matter: cabinet layouts, lighting heights, tile transitions, storage, hardware, and whether that beautiful faucet you found online is actually going to reach the sink.
I love beautiful materials, but I’m equally interested in practical solutions. Good design should work for the house, the people living in it, and the budget. It should feel personal, not like everything came from the same showroom or Pinterest board.
At the end of the day, I like rooms with a little history, a little personality, and enough practicality to actually live in them.
