"In her own Manhattan living room, interior designer Stephanie Stokes created a floor plan with entertaining in mind, carving out space for four seating areas and a breakfast table. A George II parcel-gilt mirror surmounts the marble Regency mantel, which the decorator had scaled down to better fit the room’s proportions; neutral fabrics were used to downplay the seating’s substantial scale."

"I converted the closet to the left of the library door into a wet bar with storage for more glasses than anyone needs in a lifetime. They’re hidden behind cabinet doors covered in faux book spines, ordered from England, to make the cabinets look like shelves of books." -Elegant Rooms That Work, Libraries by interior designer Stephanie Stokes.

"Stokes infused a home in Westchester with French country style. She delineated the dining area—which flows into the kitchen and family room—by using a rug that incorporates the hues found in the curtains and seat cushions. A rack was built under the window to house newspapers and magazines."

"A New York City couple gutted several rooms in their apartment to accommodate a larger dining and living area and kitchen. The cabinetry in the butler’s pantry utilizes overhead space, offering storage for 120 pieces of glassware. Knives fit into slots in the granite countertops, and removable Masonite panels allow for customized storage in the cabinets."

"Stokes crafted a family-friendly apartment in the Plaza hotel, employing substantial furnishings (iron benches, stone garden stools) that the children wouldn’t be able to disrupt. The cocktail table, which features a shelf for extra storage, is sprayed with car lacquer for an ultradurable finish."

"For a dressing room in the Paris apartment of Hermès’s Xavier Guerrand-Hermès, Stokes combined unique furnishings and art from North Africa to make the space feel more personal. Customized screen doors with spear-like dowels backed with silk lend an airiness to the cabinetry."

House Beautiful featured Stephanie Stokes's tiny kitchen a few years ago. She maximizes storage in a small, elegant space:
"A mirrored backsplash, an electric cooktop that doubles as countertop, and simple cabinetry give the illusion of grandeur in Stokes's tiny kitchen. She designed a specific space for every pot, plate, and peppermill."
