Thoughtful Spaces. Beautifully Lived In.
Interior Design by Sara Luffman
Interior design for new construction and select residential projects throughout Middle Tennessee.
A beautiful home starts long before the final finishing touches.
SL Design brings a thoughtful approach to interior design, helping homeowners make confident decisions about the spaces they live in every day.
From floor plan considerations and cabinetry to lighting, tile, paint and furnishings, each element is considered as part of the larger design rather than as an isolated selection.
As the interior design studio within Foundation Custom Homes, SL Design works alongside the construction process from the beginning of a new build. This allows design and construction to work together — creating homes that feel cohesive, intentional and personal.
SL Design also works with a select number of homeowners and builders outside of Foundation Custom Homes.
SPACE
Thoughtful layouts and space planning that balance beauty with the way your family actually lives.
MATERIALS
A cohesive combination of tile, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, hardware and color.
DETAILS
The architectural and finishing details that give a home character and make it feel complete.
Design should feel intentional from the beginning — not added at the end.
Interior design integrated into the new home building process, from early planning through final selections.
Guidance through tile, flooring, countertops, cabinetry, plumbing, lighting, hardware, paint and other architectural finishes.
Thoughtful layouts, cabinetry, materials, fixtures and details designed around both function and aesthetics.
A cohesive design direction carried throughout the home, creating spaces that feel connected while still reflecting your personality.

When interior design and construction work together from the beginning, better decisions can happen earlier.
Through Foundation Custom Homes, SL Designs is involved in the design of a home before construction begins — allowing floor plans, cabinetry, lighting, materials and architectural details to be considered together.
Rather than designing a home after the structure is complete, we believe the interior should be part of the vision from the very beginning.
It's a more connected way to build.


I believe a home should feel collected rather than overly decorated.
I'm drawn to warm materials, thoughtful contrast, natural textures and spaces that feel comfortable enough for everyday life while still feeling special.
I don't believe every home needs to follow the same style or the latest trend. Instead, I want each project to reflect the people who live there — with design decisions that feel intentional today and continue to feel good years from now.
For me, the goal isn't to create a home that looks like everyone else's.
It's to create a home that feels like yours.

FROM VISION TO HOME
01 — DISCOVER
We begin by learning about your lifestyle, priorities, aesthetic and vision for your home.
02 — DEFINE
We establish the overall direction through inspiration, materials, colors and design concepts.
03 — DEVELOP
Selections are refined through samples, mood boards, drawings, renderings and collaborative conversations.
04 — IMPLEMENT
Selections are coordinated with the construction process so the design translates smoothly from concept to reality.
05 — COMPLETE
The final details come together to create a home that feels cohesive, personal and finished.
While SL Designs is an integral part of Foundation Custom Homes, we also work with a select number of homeowners and builders outside of Foundation each year.
Whether you're building with another contractor or simply looking for guidance creating a more cohesive interior, we'd love to learn about your project.
