In just a few short years, Duffy Stone has become one of Austin’s go-to designers for indie shops and residential interiors. Her firm, founded in 2013, stands out thanks to Stone’s fearless use of pattern and color. “You have to go bold when picking a paper,” she says. “The louder, the better.” Stone’s style is a mash-up of ’70s-glam, clean-lined furniture and avant-garde art, and she relies on intuition to know when she’s found the right piece for a project: “Sourcing wallpaper is like looking for great art. You just have to find what tugs on your heartstrings. You can’t overthink it!”
