From Fine Art to Fine Interiors: Explore The Eclectic Interior World of Lindsie Davis
Printmaker-turned-designer Lindsie Davis of Blueberry Jones shares how emotion, artistry, and lived-in layers define her unique take on eclectic interior design.
Lindsie Davis doesn’t just design homes—she composes them like paintings. As the creative mind behind Blueberry Jones, the Austin-based designer brings a fine artist’s sensibility to every space she touches. Her interiors are layered, personal, and unafraid of a little rebellion.
Think sculptural light fixtures, artful clashing of color and texture, and layouts that are equal parts thoughtful and intuitive. “I like to add playfulness—something unexpected,” says Davis. “A piece that will throw the eye off a little bit, through color, pattern or a light fixture. It has to start a conversation.”
That love of contradiction and balance is central to her approach to eclectic interior design—a style that, in Davis’s hands, feels far more intentional than improvised.
From Printmaking to 3D Canvases
Davis’s background is in fine art, not floorplans. She studied printmaking and fashion design before shifting into interiors. But that foundation in visual storytelling has remained essential to how she works.
Rather than starting with a Pinterest board or architectural style, Davis begins with emotion. “I always tell clients, ‘You don’t have to give me a room as inspiration. Give me an outfit. Give me a feeling. What do you want the experience to be? That’s what I design for.’”
That open-ended process has led her to design some of the most emotionally resonant rooms on her roster, from moody powder baths to tactile, light-filled kitchens.
Her Favorite Room Might Surprise You
Ask Davis what space she most enjoys designing, and she doesn’t hesitate. “The laundry room,” she says. “Everyone’s willing to take a risk in a laundry room; add the tile, wallpaper, go bold. I like functionality, and those rooms allow me to understand the pain points and make life better through design.”
It’s a space that captures her aesthetic: useful, joyful, and visually layered.
Designing with Materials That Speak
When it comes to materials, Davis leans into pieces that hold weight—both visually and emotionally. “Whenever I show your product to a client, mixed in with their stone and all their other things, it’s like, ‘Why would I ever have just a bright white tub?’ Even when I use your Pearl finish, that softness—it adds personality to the space that you didn’t know was missing.”
That approach has led her to use handcrafted, tactile elements throughout her projects. Over time, pieces from Native Trails have become a recurring character—not because of a spec sheet, but because they resonate with her way of working. “I saw one of y’all’s sinks and was like, ‘What is that? That is different, that is unique. Tell me about it.’ From that day on, I have used your products in almost all construction projects.”
A Space of Her Own
Davis’s personal home, featured in the Skyline Summit project, is as intentional as her client work. One of her favorite decisions? A slate NativeStone® bathtub. “I bought the NativeStone bathtub in Slate because I did not want a white tub. But I wasn’t a bathtub person at the time. Now, I bathe every night. I was like, ‘This is the life.’ You made me a bathtub person.”
Like much of her design work, it wasn’t about following a trend, it was about creating a ritual.
What She’s Learned Along the Way
For Davis, working solo is a strength, not a limitation. “I like to come and go and work as my brain can handle it. I have processes in place. I know what I can handle at one time.”
She’s just as intentional about her clients as she is about her spaces. “My favorite clients are businesspeople. They trust me to do my job. If there’s no trust, we will never get anywhere.”
That clarity, combined with her creative instinct, makes her work stand out in a world often chasing trends. “For me, design is not a job. It’s a passion. I love it. I get to create art in a 3D world. That’s super cool.”
FAQ
Q: What’s the key to making bold elements work together without chaos?
A: “You need rhythm. I create tension, but I balance it out. The materials help with that. And I always look for a few grounding elements that tie it all together.”
