Stephanie Hall
Instrumental in developing Nantucket Looms’ interior design department into a full-scale design house, Stephanie has been creating beautiful spaces for both on and off-island homes since 1996. Her ability to marry contemporary furnishings with classic coastal-style elements has influenced long-time Nantucket Looms clients along with a new generation of clientele. Stephanie’s own home quietly illustrates this aesthetic, accented throughout with little treasures both gifted and found. Her thoughtfully planned outdoor space is a cherished gem as well, where her daughter grows fresh produce to use in tasty homecooked recipes. Such reverence for fine quality and meaningful details are reflected not only in Stephanie’s design projects but also in the collections she curates for Nantucket Looms each season.
