Getting to Know You: Shine Interior Design Studio

Posted by AY Staff | Nov 27, 2024 | Get to Know AY's Best

Licensed interior designers Natalie Biles and Stacey Breezeel formed Shine Interior Design Studio in Lonoke in 2019 and have grown the business and their team at an impressive clip. The ultimate goal? To be Arkansas’ go-to for all things interior design.

“Our desire is to be approachable and real,” Biles said. “We are constantly striving to learn and grow as designers so that we are at the forefront of design. We understand real-life situations and design and create with purpose.”

Recent years have seen more homeowners and entrepreneurs thinking they can bypass an interior designer with a combination of AI, DIY and HGTV, only to find themselves overwhelmed with options. Shine designers serve as part coach, part guide and part cheerleader to make the journey less of a headache and more of a dream come true.

“It really is our joy to see our clients thrive in their completed spaces,” Breezeel said. “To see a prom group or celebration at a restaurant or get photos from a client on Thanksgiving with families and friends filling their spaces — those are heartwarming wins.”

The Shine team is honored to be among AY’s “Best of,” and every referral, share and good word goes a long way to supporting the small business. The studio is hard at work on new product offerings for 2025 that aim to “take the mystery out of working with a designer,” Biles said.
