who we are
Scottie & Co. Interiors is where thoughtful design meets soul. Founded by interior designer Emily Simmering, our studio brings years of experience in residential design with a deep love for color, texture, and the perfectly imperfect.
We believe your home should reflect not just what you love—but how you live. That’s why we take the time to truly listen, understand your lifestyle, and design spaces that feel like you in every detail. With a signature mix of the old and new, our goal is to create rooms that feel layered, collected, and deeply personal.

Scottie & Co. is brought in at the early stages of new construction to ensure the interiors are as thoughtful and refined as the architectural plans. We collaborate with your architect and builder to guide layout decisions, review construction documents, and align every design detail with your lifestyle and aesthetic. From space planning and material selections to cabinetry design, lighting, and hardware, we handle each layer of the interior with intention. We manage the design process from initial concept through final installation, providing clear documentation, streamlined communication, and a cohesive vision that carries through every room.

At Scottie & Co., renovations are a layered process, and we treat them as such. From reworking floor plans and maximizing function to selecting finishes, fixtures, and custom details, we thoughtfully redesign each element to reflect your lifestyle and elevate your home’s existing architecture. We collaborate with your contractor, review plans, and provide detailed design documentation to keep construction aligned with the vision. Every decision is intentional, every detail considered, so the final result feels cohesive, refined, and entirely your own.

Scottie & Co. offers full-service furnishing and styling for homes in need of a finishing layer or a complete refresh.

Our process includes floor plan layouts, detailed sourcing, and coordination of all orders and installations, ensuring each space feels cohesive, comfortable, and uniquely yours.

Working with Emily on our full home renovation was nothing short of transformative. Her sense of design is impeccable. She selected colors, finishes, and textures that felt deeply aligned with our personal taste, yet brought in a level of sophistication we wouldn’t have achieved on our own. From the layout to the smallest details, every room now flows with purpose and harmony. The result is a home that feels beautifully curated, elevated, and uniquely ours. We couldn’t be happier.
