SCW Interiors is the studio of designer Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey — where the client's life is always the north star. We listen first, then design layered, collected homes that tell your story.

Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey is a designer, tastemaker and storyteller with more than 25 years of experience creating homes centered entirely around the people who live in them. Rooted in the Southwest and trained at the University of Texas, the Culinary Institute of America and Parsons School of Design, she brings an uncommon fluency in art, food, architecture and living to every project.
Being Southern, Shazalynn loves a good story — and she treats storytelling as an art form, weaving each client's history and passions into their rooms. The studio listens first and designs second, believing a centered home is the foundation for a rewarding life.
Founder & Principal Designer
A selection of residences by SCW Interiors — layered, collected and personal, from Austin to the East Coast.
A gracious McLean home layered with antiques, custom millwork and quiet, collected elegance.
A globally collected Alexandria home where pattern, chinoiserie and colour tell a lifetime of travels.
A spirited DC classic where striped walls, gingham seating and a black mantel strike a fearless balance.
A Newport retreat wrapped in grasscloth and blue, where coastal ease meets tailored comfort.
Every SCW interior begins with your story — then becomes a fully realized home that is collected, layered and unmistakably yours.
The client's life is our north star. We learn your history and passions before a single fabric is chosen.
Being Southern, we love a good story — and we impart yours into every room, from art to millwork.
Layered color, pattern and antiques create rooms that feel gathered over a lifetime, never staged.
From Austin to the Eastern Shore, we manage design, sourcing and installation end to end.

A thoughtful, personal process — as much about understanding you as it is about the design itself.
We start with your life: how you live, what you love and the story you want your home to tell.
Layouts, color, pattern, art and finishes come together into a scheme that is unmistakably yours.
We curate antiques and original art and commission custom furnishings, millwork and window treatments.
White-glove installation and layered styling reveal a home that feels collected, complete and lived-in.

Project Details
We are a full-service interior design studio. We handle everything from space planning, renovation and new construction to custom furnishings, kitchen and bath design, window treatments, art curation and turnkey styling — from a single room to a whole home.
Yes. Our studio is based in Austin, Texas, but we design residences across the country — from Texas and Santa Fe to Washington, DC, Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island and beyond.
The client's life is always our north star. We listen first, then design. Being Southern, we love a good story, and we weave each client's history and passions into layered, collected rooms that feel personal rather than decorated.
Warm, layered and story-driven — a confident mix of color, pattern, antiques and original art. Every home is tailored to the people who live in it, so no two SCW interiors look alike.
Absolutely. We collaborate with architects and builders on renovations and ground-up new construction, guiding finishes, millwork and layout so the interiors feel considered from the studs out.
Reach out through our contact page to tell us about your home and your story. We'll set up an initial conversation to understand how you live and map out the best way forward together.
Architectural Digest recognizes SCW Interiors among its vetted directory of leading designers.
Why every SCW project begins with listening — and how a centered home becomes the foundation for a rewarding life.
Being Southern means loving a good story — and weaving each client's story into the rooms they live in.
Share your space and your story with us. We'd love to learn how you live and design a home that reflects it.
