Iconic Design
Iconic design is avant-garde, it sets a new benchmark and becomes an industry standard. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love offering product lines to our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients that provide the kind of vision and imagination required to create iconic and unforgettable spaces. From gorgeous lighting and furnishings to unique and elegant accessories, Eichholtz (@worldofeichholtz) is a standard-bearer for opulent and sophisticated interiors, where old-world glamour meets innovation, and brilliant creativity meets flawless style and workmanship. As the company states, “Over the years, Eichholtz has grown into one of the world’s most well-known and reputable wholesalers of luxury design furniture, lighting and accessories. Many of our first-rate furniture pieces are modern interpretations of entrancing antiques...today, our brand is the epitome of luxury living.” These images are just a hint of their amazing offering, they are truly masters of their craft. Paying homage to fashion design maven Diana Vreeland, the assertion that “The eye has to travel” resonates with our design philosophy at Susan Semmelmann Interiors. A well-designed room offers a beautiful view from every angle, it delights and surprises and leaves no space behind. Let us work with you to take your home design visions in stunning new directions with the help of Eichholtz!
The Dream Closet
Have you ever considered your closet to be an additional living area in your home? At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we believe that a well-ordered, luxuriously appointed closet can absolutely be a place of peace and respite amid the busyness of this fast-paced world. When working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients we love the opportunity to take part in the construction detailing process so a specialty feature like this can be incorporated in to the plan from the ground up. The possibilities are truly only limited by the imagination, and we put our wildly creative imaginations to work for each of our clients! Even when working within an existing space, there are countless configuration options that can be implemented to revamp and beautify any closet. As these design inspirations clearly represent, the goal is to create a signature ambiance, an environment that can be claimed as a personal oasis, a place to sit for a moment and prepare for the day ahead, or better yet, shake off the day in the evening and get ready to rest and relax. From lighting to lounging to leveling up your closet storage and organization layout, Susan Semmelmann Interiors is here to help every client realize their dreams, or in this case, their dream closets!

Reclaim Your Space
Do you have a space that needs to be repurposed, redesigned, or reimagined? At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to breathe new life in to the design and functionality of their homes. We consider each client to be one-of-a-kind and it is our privilege to work with amazing companies that offer truly one-of-a-kind products. Taracea is one such company and we are constantly amazed at the stunning creations they produce. Sustainably and responsibly sourced, each piece of wood is crafted in to a masterpiece with its own unique signature, no two are the same. As quoted by Taracea’s Javier Suárez, "Our work aims to honor the life of a tree and its worthy journey through earth, turning it into an expressive work." His company creates a nurturing culture of mutual respect and loyalty, both for the land and for his workforce. Many families work for Taracea for generations, which goes hand-in-hand with the caring mentorship that establishes a life-long legacy when an apprentice hones his or her skills under the direction of a master craftsman. There is an elegance and a fine art to what they do that can only be learned with time, practice, and excellence. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we believe that there is no better way to fulfill the objective of reclaiming your space than with the help of a company that prides itself in the business of reclaiming, honoring, and beautifully refining one of our most precious resources!
Mirror Images
Merriam-Webster defines the word “mirror” as something that gives a true representation, at Susan Semmelmann Interiors our goal is to work with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to make sure that every home or project is a true representation of each individual style and that the desired outcome is met, or preferably, surpassed. One design element that we love to incorporate in any space is in fact, the mirror! Mirrors are multifaceted and multi-dimensional with endless variations of form and functionality. A perfectly designed and placed mirror has the capacity to be the focal point of any space as it captures the light, provides a fresh and unique perspective on its surroundings, and gives a room a sense of depth and layering that would otherwise be lost in its absence. These beautiful inspirations from Studia 54 (@studia_54) perfectly showcase the mirror as an integral piece contributing to the overall look and feel of each space, lending to the notion that, aesthetically speaking, some things are worth repeating. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we believe that there is great beauty in a well-designed room reflecting back upon itself, let us help you have great admiration for the reflections you see in your home!
Heavenly Stairways
Have you ever thought of an interior stairway as an opportunity to incorporate beautiful sculpture in to the design of your home? At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love to work with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to create unique features that set their homes apart and establish their own individual signature spaces. A stairway can easily be overlooked as strictly utilitarian, let’s look past the standard carpeted treads and dream up something fabulous! A major benefit to the process of construction detailing is the ability to take full advantage of every design possibility from concept to creation, or as we at Susan Semmelmann Interiors like to say, from foundation to finishings. One look at these gorgeous stairway inspirations from @studioantonini @adesignersmind and @jfk.photos and you can see that the options are endless and the visual impact is stunning. We are here to pair our expertise with your visions for your home, adding inspiration and fresh ideas along the way to help narrow your decisions and allow you to focus on the desired end result while we dial in the details and bring everything together to complete your master plan. Let us help you take the next step in your home design journey by making your staircase a showcase! (see images for design credit)
The Glass Wall
The glass wall…have you ever considered incorporating this element in to your home design plan? If not, let’s dream about that possibility for a minute, let’s get creative with the areas in your home that could benefit from the elegance of a beautiful glass feature. Whether re-imagining a space or designing one from the ground up, interior glass walls are a viable option to consider, lending an open concept feel while also providing a layer of separation and a clear definition of each space for its intended purpose and function. In addition, they allow for the continuation of a design aesthetic to be carried from one room to the next with an uninterrupted view. In our opinion, some designs just weren't created to be covered up! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love the opportunity to think outside of the box with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, to bring down confining walls, let in some breath and light, and add wow factor in the process. These inspirations showcase the varied uses of interior glass walls, beginning with the sweeping two-story living room feature wall, to the gorgeous steel and glass study nestled off of the living and dining areas, then the jaw-dropping closet design with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and finally, the stunning full-length glass wall with accordion doors partitioning the dining room from the kitchen. There are so many options to consider during the home design and construction detailing process, let us help you choose wisely and see your plans clearly - hopefully we’ve inspired you to add a touch of glass!

Leave a Legacy
Have you ever stopped to consider what it truly means to leave a legacy? At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we believe that the footprint we leave for generations to come and the way in which we honor generations past is at the very heart and soul of what we do. In much the same way that we are concerned with the vital importance of a proper home foundation in the construction detailing process, we also contend that a rock-solid personal and professional foundation built on the cornerstones of faith, family and community is of equal significance. Speaking of community, we love to combine the home design dreams and plans of our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients with our generous selection of vendor lines who carry our common values and provide top-of-the-line service, one of which is Paul Robert Furniture. In addition to their refusal to compromise their tight-knit family connection, they hold a gold standard for their methods of operation, from earth-friendly practices to best quality construction and cutting-edge style, and they are fully committed to offering nothing-less-than-excellent product lines. In their words: “Our mission is to be a leader in design and quality while bringing style and comfort to your home. We value our employees, the earth we share and the legacy we create. After more than thirty years in business, our principles remain the same as the day we were established.” Let us help you create a part of your legacy by designing the perfect gathering space for your family, loved-ones, and generations to come with the help of amazing companies like Paul Robert Furniture!
Outside In
Although it may not feel like it at the moment, we can all rest assured that Fall is coming! As we forecast forward and anticipate cooler days ahead, our thoughts are drifting to the perfect outdoor living space, the ideal combination of inviting the outside in and the inside out. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we see this as a prime example of the benefits of construction detailing in home design, the ability to create a holistic plan centered around the year-round functionality and entertaining space that we so often see as a highly desired home feature for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients. In milder climates like ours, outdoor living spaces can serve a multitude of functions and be utilized during all seasons – a playful place by the water in the hotter months, a warm cozy spot by the fire in the cooler months, and an ever-present opportunity for relaxed dining and enjoyment during the majority of the year. An outdoor living area is simply an extension of your home and should be incorporated in to the plans from the ground up. As you can see from these gorgeous inspirations [see images for design credit], these spaces are not at all an afterthought, but integral pieces of the plan with intentional functionality that flow seamlessly from one space to the next. So often the outdoor space is “added on” as opposed to “added in” to the original home design, let us help you create and execute your ultimate home vision from foundation to finishings, from the outside in!
Just Breathe
There is something so beautiful about white as a feature décor element, it is soothing and spa-like and can be incorporated in to many different design styles to create an elegant home retreat. A backdrop of gorgeous neutrals provides an opportunity to truly showcase art and architecture without distraction. Far from being sterile and boring, when shades of white are properly integrated in to the design of a home they infuse striking depth as the natural light shifts and moves from morning to afternoon to evening. If peace and calm had a color it would be a soft, subtle shade of white, a breath of fresh air, a deep inhale and a long, slow exhale. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we encourage our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to dream out loud as we consult about plans for their homes, and many times their dreams include the desire to create a haven, a respite from the busyness of life, a nest to hold friends and family close. Whether your taste is minimalist, modern, contemporary, transitional, or traditional let us help you quiet the noise around you by bringing your ideal home visions to life. What are your thoughts on white? One look at these dreamy inspirations and you may be saying alright, alright, alright! All design inspiration via @adesignersmind.
Generational Blessings
Integrity, honesty, reliability, family; at Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love to partner with companies who share our values and dedication to the things that matter most, businesses that are simply a beautiful product of the foundation upon which they are built. Family-owned-and-operated and proudly American-made, Massoud (@massoud_furn) is a company we can get behind and rely upon to provide the best quality available for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clientele. Fifty years of commitment to excellence and ethical business practices underpins everything they do, which makes their product lines a definite go-to for us. Not only can they be relied upon to deliver what they promise, they are always on the forefront of design with a perfect marriage of craftsmanship and creativity. Their style is defined as “classic, innovative, and always mindful of timeless taste.” We couldn’t agree more. As the generations at Massoud work to bring their best to the marketplace, let us help bless the generations in your life by creating a beautiful home as a joyful gathering place for your family for years to come. Be inspired by these dreamy images and begin dreaming about how we can help make them a reality for you!
Marvelous Marble
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we are all about creating beautiful and personalized spaces for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients. It is our absolute joy to help each client through the process of choosing the full spectrum of design elements that will transform their house in to their home, and we also use our extensive experience and expertise to teach and inform as we go. For instance, as our clients consider a myriad of flooring, tile, and hard surface options we always take lifestyle and long-term expectations in to consideration before making a final decision. One very beautiful and timeless option is marble, as a design choice it is glamorous, luxurious, and completely unique, it has a personality all its own and can truly be considered a natural art form in and of itself. No two slabs of marble are the same, each having its own variation of veining and pattern, a distinctive fingerprint for the home chosen specifically by each client. Marble is known to be ever changing as it adapts to slight variations in its environment, absorbing oils from the skin, reacting subtly to heat and light, and taking on small surface abrasions from normal wear and tear referred to as etching. To live with marble is to embrace its beauty regardless of any imperfections, and to know that these beauty marks are simply evidence of life lived to the fullest in your home. Let us help you choose the best options for your home with the confidence of knowing that you will love it now and for years to come! Take in some gorgeous marble design inspiration from @constantinfrolov.design, @mrcurtiselmy and @studia_54 (see images for details).
Art Meets Luxury
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we see each home as a blank canvas, an opportunity to collaborate with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to create unique and timeless works of art in the spaces of each home. As quoted by Pablo Picasso, “Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.” With that sentiment we wholeheartedly agree. It is our desire and our goal to help each client create a personal sanctuary of peace and rest, an escape from the stresses of the day reflecting their personal brand of style and refinement. When considering product lines to bring life and form to these visions, we love the excellence and artistry of Zoffany (@zoffanyfw): “If your world is driven by a desire to fuse luxury with art, you’ll undoubtedly find a kindred spirit in Zoffany.” Truly artisans of their craft, they take inspiration from old world beauty and infuse it with a contemporary feel. Reaching back in to carefully curated historical archives, they employ today’s technology to replicate the elegance and sophistication of the past. Browsing their collections is like entering a dream sequence of otherworldly imagery and creative brilliance, their passion for what they do is undeniable. Let us help make your passion for your home undeniable with the help of Zoffany…where art meets luxury!
From the Ground Up
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we are committed to giving our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients a top-of-the-line experience. By offering construction detailing services, we are able to take a comprehensive approach to home design, orchestrating every detail from the ground up. Construction detailing is truly where the form of interior design meets the function of spatial planning, allowing design motifs and functional elements to be woven into the fabric of a home. We help make the leap from imagining a concept to making it a reality by evaluating your blueprints through the lens of interior design. We work closely with the builders and architects to ensure that the end result is a home that is as cohesive as it is beautiful. The project featured here is an Italian-style estate with modern influences located on Possum Kingdom Lake. For a deeper dive in to the details about the design elements incorporated in to this home, from vision to implementation, don’t miss Susan’s video. Whatever your preferred style of home, the process is the same beginning with early architectural planning through the final construction and design. Of our eighteen current projects, ranging in style from modern to transitional to contemporary, eleven are utilizing our construction detailing services. We are busy helping clients realize their dreams and would love to help you realize yours from the ground up. Let us handle the details while you enjoy the process!
Tell Your Story
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we believe that your home tells the story of you: your personality, your passion, your history, your legacy, your vision for the future of your family, friends and close-knit community. In order for us to know how to weave the fabric of your life in to the design of your home, we must first know YOU! We feel strongly that we are not simply executing a job when we create spaces for each of our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, we are first and foremost developing a relationship and gaining a full understanding of their heart and vision for their home, their unique signature should be evident in every space. In order to accomplish this, we take a personalized approach with every client to find our starting point. The scope of work differs with each project but every job is equally important, whether it be re-imagining one room or providing construction detailing and design services from the ground up (more to come on that!). We are here to help our clients bring their high-level design ideas to reality by pairing our experience with their dreams. Let us help you create a space that best mirrors your one-of-a-kind style. The result will be authentic and organic and become an extension of you, reflecting your brand of hospitality and lifestyle, and THAT tells a beautiful story! (Take some dreamy design inspiration from these spaces by @studia_54!)
Creating Your Masterpiece
As Taylor King (@taylorkingfurniture) so eloquently declares, “A great piece of furniture is like a beautiful painting -- an exquisite find that enriches your life and your home.” Perfectly said and oh so true. Taylor King is masterful at timeless style and design married with beautiful fabrics and textures, their offerings range from luxurious neutrals to bold color and elegantly playful patterns and they are a go-to product line for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients. Their furnishings are fully customizable from fabrics to finishes to trim so the sky is the limit on available options.

As a community of individuals, each and every one of us takes tremendous joy in transforming furniture into lasting works of art for the discerning home.” Proudly American made for more than 40 years, Taylor King painstakingly sources materials and textiles to find the very best so we can offer that to you as we transform your home in to a masterpiece!
Gorgeous Emerald Green
Deep, luxurious, emerald green is a show-stopper in any room, dramatic yet soothing as it invites nature’s representative color into the environment of your home. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, our team always has a watchful eye on current trends for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, and we are in love with the inspiration board from @paulrobertfurniture and fully agree that this hue is hot! Emerald beautifully reflects its jewel namesake, striking and multifaceted, conveying different moods and dimensions in different lights. To truly highlight its beauty and depth, it shines as a feature color against a more neutral palette, as shown in this gorgeous living area by @uae_home1 and stunning master suite by @studia_54. Paint and wallcoverings are also a wonderful way to add a focal design element. This Alchemy of Colour paint shade (Poison) by @zoffanyfw is fantastic; it is described as “a striking green hue that has a smooth velvety appearance resembling an exquisite patination of oxidized copper verdigris.” Yes, please! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to help our clients define their passion for color and work with them to make that statement in their homes; maybe we can help you go green!
Faith + Family + Community
Faith, family, community: At Susan Semmelmann Interiors these are the cornerstones of my peronal life and our company philosophy as a whole, and we are so thankful to partner with companies like Uttermost who share these values and help us provide the very best to our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clientele. As the company’s CEO Mac Cooper states, “Family. It’s all about family for us, and this is on so many levels whether it’s the Cooper family, my church family, or the entire Uttermost family, we’re in this together. In business, we see our customers as family and we intend to be the best partner possible, a part of your team.” We couldn’t agree more with that sentiment! As our clients invite us in to their home to create their sanctuary, we take those connections seriously and hold them dear to our hearts. Yes, design is our job, but it is so much more, it is a way of life for us and it expands our community in so many wonderful ways. Being able to work with companies like Uttermost gives us confidence that we are caring for our community by providing them access to the highest quality available. Their product lines (@uttermostcompany and @revelationbyuttermost) are simply an extension of their firm foundation – inspired, beautiful, always first-class and fashion-forward, designed and manufactured with excellence and an innate eye for current trend and market demand. Their team culture, like ours, “is founded on the principles of partnership, respect, and passion.” As we partner with them, let us partner with you to help bring your passion for your home to life!
Your Home, Your Passion
When it comes to “dressing” your home, reflecting your individual vision and passion in every aspect is key! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we have the privilege of offering amazing product lines to our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clientele and Theodore Alexander (theodore_alexander_official) is a gold standard in this industry. Their attention to detail is second to none, offering timeless statement pieces around which your space can be designed and showcased. From furniture to accessories to textiles their products provide function, beauty and a unique take on period furniture from concept to craftsmanship. In both product and process they take their inspiration from history and legacy and that is reflected in their offerings, finished to perfection from every angle, 360 degrees of excellence in every piece. They make it easy for us to provide our clients gorgeous pieces that will anchor a space and provide signature style. In the words of the company, “Every process and every detail, from a carved chair leg to a table finish or inlay, is executed by hand. Our craftsmen employ time-honoured techniques to craft truly beautiful furniture you’ll fall madly in love with.” Let us help you fall madly, passionately in love with your home with the help of Theodore Alexander!
The Luxury Bathroom
Relax, renew, recharge, refresh! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we believe that a beautifully designed bathroom is the perfect place to accomplish all of the above. A highly personalized bathroom retreat is the ultimate in luxury, an oasis from your day that greets you first thing every morning and bids you goodnight in the evening, a signature space with no detail overlooked. Whether your design preference is glamorous, sophisticated, organic spa-inspired, or sleek and contemporary, the options are seemingly endless. To ensure that our clients don't become overwhelmed by the possibilities, we help bring their ideas to life by listening to their heart for their home and providing our expertise to streamline their choices. We are currently working with several Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients whose master retreat visions will soon be a reality. Be inspired by these gorgeous designs to dream up a luxury bath of your own!
I Must Have Flowers
As Claude Monet once famously quoted, “I must have flowers, always and always.” At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we couldn’t agree more! Floral and botanical features in a room provide depth and layering, soften strong edges, create visual interest, and infuse color throughout. John-Richard (@johnrichardcollection) is absolutely masterful at integrating this look and feel into their designs. These images showcase their brilliant use of floral and botanical décor to complement and amplify a space. Note the elegant use of white-on-white, muted tones, and golds, perfectly on-trend in today’s interior design market. From larger statement pieces like the jaw-dropping wisteria inspired chandelier and gorgeous hanging wall art, to smaller accents such as unique table lamps, vases, and beautifully crafted silk arrangements, adding elements of organic flow to an otherwise structured space changes the whole landscape and invites the eye to wander and explore. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with John-Richard and offer this stunning product line to our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, only the best will do!
