Gayla Jenkins Interiors

Design is all about balance.

A little drama, a little warmth, something bold, something soft.

This room has such a pretty mix of textures and tones, but what I love most is how comfortable it still feels. It’s polished, but not too perfect. Beautiful, but still meant to be lived in.

That’s always the goal. 🤍

This kitchen has such a beautiful balance of statement moments and soft, welcoming details.

For this space, we wanted to bring in a little drama with that gorgeous statement hood and movement in the stone, while still keeping the room warm and inviting. I love how the soft whites, rich wood tones, brass details, and natural textures all work together so effortlessly. It has a polished feel, but there is still an ease to it that makes it so livable.

Those are always my favorite kind of rooms. 🤍

It’s so special sitting down with a client and really getting to know what they love.

Before anything is selected, I love to listen. How do you want the room to feel? What pieces do you already have that mean something to you? What colors, textures, or little details make you feel at home? From there, the fun begins!

I spend a lot of time working with our wonderful local showrooms, pulling fabrics, finishes, furnishings, and materials that feel just right for each client. There are so many beautiful options out there, and sometimes that can feel overwhelming when you are trying to make decisions on your own.

That is where a designer can be such a gift. Instead of feeling restricted or unsure, you get to see how endless the possibilities really are. My job is to help narrow those possibilities into something that feels personal, thoughtful, and completely suited to you.

Design is never one size fits all. It is about finding the perfect fit for your home, your lifestyle, and the way you want to live every day.🤎

This room is so rich with detail, and I really love how it all came together. The wood ceiling and exposed beams bring so much warmth and character, and the stone fireplace gives the whole space a strong, grounded focal point. By adding in the iron light fixtures, it creates just the right amount of weight and scale overhead. To soften it up a bit, we added in upholstered seating, layered pillows, a beautiful rug, and the mix of natural textures throughout the room. It is the perfect mixture of rugged and cozy, and that balance is what makes the whole space feel so inviting. 🤎

What a beautiful Easter day it has been. We were so grateful to spend it with family, enjoying time together and remembering the true reason we celebrate. My heart is full of gratitude for the hope we have through Jesus and the joy that Easter brings. He is risen, and that truth fills my heart with so much peace. Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter. 🤍

A laundry room that makes doing laundry feel a little less like a chore. This is proof that color and pattern belong in every corner of the home, even the most functional ones. From the blue cabinetry to the playful wallpaper, this space feels charming, fresh, and full of personality. ✨

This dining room is full of detail. ✨

The deep black walls make such a statement, and the hand painted gold adds a beautiful sense of movement across the space. I love how the open shelves give us room to mix in warm wood, a little greenery, and a few favorite pieces.

It all comes together to create a space that feels bold, welcoming, and perfect for gathering around the table. 🤍

A fresh chapter for a well-loved kitchen.🤍

By introducing a lighter palette, custom detailing, and layered materials, we transformed the space into something modern yet inviting. The navy island with walnut slats and brass accents brings warmth and character, while the quartz and cabinetry keep everything feeling refined and balanced.

This one may be up there as one of my favorite transformations yet ✨

This Steamboat Springs condo was such a fun one to work on. We helped with paint, lighting, furniture, and rugs, focusing on pieces and finishes that feel comfortable, timeless, and easy to live with.

With views like these, the design really needed to stay quiet and let the mountains shine. Everything was chosen to feel warm and relaxed without taking away from what’s right outside the windows.

So thankful for clients who trust the process and allow me to be part of creating a home that truly fits the way they live 🤍
