We love hearing the stories behind our decorators’ redesign projects. Every design project brings homeowners a step closer to achieving the homes of their dreams. Each month, we like to highlight a project and take a closer look at the designer’s vision, and the beautiful results.
This month, we’re featuring Steinhafels Decorating Solutions Interior Designer Ray Buquet. Ray is based in our Kenosha store. She used to work in the high-end residential community of Dallas, at a firm that produced bold, distinctive spaces. She thinks of interior design as both an art and a science.
One of Ray’s most recent projects was a condo in the Waukesha area. It’s a new construction, and the couple (Jon and Janelle) had waited their whole lives to invest in a "dream" home. Their style inspiration was a mixture of Japanese and Swedish culture.

Sectional components
Ray’s goal
Mix masculine and feminine, cozy yet sophisticated.
I wanted to make a brand new condo with no paint (per the customer’s wishes) feel warm and homey.
Ray’s favorite items
The rugs!!!
Ray explains, "Those rugs make a beautiful foundation for the rest of the space."
