About Us
Debi Davis Interior Design is a prominent interior design firm based in Central Arkansas that serves clients locally in Arkansas to all across the United States and are widely known for their residential and commercial interior design.
Started in 1992, while known for our signature light color palettes, we take an individualized approach to each project. We work within a broad range of design styles allowing us to individually work with our clients. This allows us to understand their personalities, needs, style, and preferences to deliver designs that make client visions a reality, timeless, and beautiful. At Debi Davis Interior Design we also take pride in delivering the finished product in a timely fashion allowing our clients to enjoy their home.
DEBI DAVIS
Founder, Lead Designer
Although broadcast journalism was Debi’s intended path, chance led her down another avenue, and after college, she purchased a high-end fashion boutique in Little Rock. This is where she refined her sense of style and aesthetic. “Being in the fashion industry and buying clothing in New York and Europe helped me,” she says. “Fashion bleeds down into the furniture market. It goes hand in hand. I had an eye for putting things together, and that worked on my behalf.”
Davis sold her women’s boutique after eight years and reset her course, landing in the design world. For the next few years, she honed her decorating skills while working for her interior designer friend. “I learned, learned, learned, and worked out of his showroom,” she reminisces, educating herself on antiques, design, scale, and color. “I just absorbed everything I could in those years,” she says. “And, I tell you. I know this — you can go to school, but you need a certain level of taste, too. All the schooling in the world can’t help you if you don’t have an eye.”
In 1992 Davis opened Debi Davis Interior Design and built a team of designers that have a love of design and enjoy making client dreams a reality. “Designing for our clients is personal and requires that we get to know our clients’ tastes, preferences, styles, and personalities, which leads many of our clients to become close, lasting friends. That is what makes the job so rewarding and makes me excited to get up each morning to start a new day working for our clients, friends, and building something beautiful for them.”
JO BUTTS
Designer
Jo, and also Debi’s mom, has been working with Debi Davis Interior Design since 2008 after retiring from 30 years of civil service work in marketing and training with the air force. The day after her retirement, she came to work with our team to fuel her creativity and start the next chapter in her career. Jo plays an important role in keeping all our textiles, fabrics and wallpapers chosen for all our client projects ensuring on-time delivery and installation. Jo also works extensively with the team on hardware selection, backsplash, and bathroom design.
ERIC PENNY
Production Manager
Eric has been a part of our team since 2016 and has since become our go-to guy for production work on every project. If we have a client who needs a custom piece of furniture or even needs to update their existing furniture, Eric oversees the production of the furniture being made in-house, selecting the custom finishes, and delivery – he makes it happen. Eric is the most dedicated to going above and beyond to deliver the highest customer service and has even been known to drive a full day to deliver a rush order for a client. We couldn’t ask for a better team member and advocate for our client projects.
LLOYD COBB
CPA
You’ll typically see this friendly face welcome you from behind the counter, when you visit our showroom. And no, we’re not talking about a Chief Paint Advisor (although we do like the sound of that). Lloyd is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) on staff to take care of project budgeting and our accounting work, so the rest of our team can stay focused on what matters: our clients.
CODY
CFO (Chief Fabric Officer)
Cody joined our team one year ago with his brother Bailey. He’s in charge of keeping things happy around here and greeting everyone who comes in our showroom, but more importantly he’s in charge of selecting only the most comfortable and durable of fabrics for all our projects. From sofas to bedding to rugs (and milk bones), everything used on our jobs is Bailey approved.
BAILEY
CFO (Chief Flooring Officer)
Bailey joined our team one year ago with her brother Cody. He’s in charge of keeping Cody out of trouble, but more importantly he helps Cody select only the most cozy and fashionable fabrics for all our projects. From pillows to draperies to flooring (and milk bones), everything used on our jobs is Bailey approved.
