From rustic-modern makeovers to cozy mountain retreats, Darla blends style and strategy to design spaces that attract more guests, earn better reviews, and maximize your return on investment.

Whether you’re furnishing your first rental or refreshing a seasoned property, we’ll help you create a design that feels both beautiful and profitable.

DARLA

With over a decade of experience in interior design and property styling, Darla Walker brings a passion for hospitality and a designer’s eye for detail to every project. Her approach is equal parts creative and practical, ensuring every space looks incredible in photos and functions perfectly for guests.

Based in the Smoky Mountains, Darla has helped countless cabin owners elevate their properties, from single-bedroom retreats to multi-level luxury lodges. Her work focuses on creating unforgettable experiences that drive repeat bookings and 5-star reviews.

When she’s not designing, you’ll find Darla exploring local markets, shopping with her granddaughters, or dreaming up new ways to make “mountain modern” feel fresh and timeless.
