Artisan Design Studio
“We could not be happier with the incredible work Artisan and interior designers Ryan Williams and Rylee Rutland did on our speakeasy lounge. They took our vision and transformed it into a space that feels like a private luxury cocktail lounge tucked inside our home.
The overall room design is what truly sets this space apart. Ryan and Rylee layered rich textures, warm wood tones, dramatic lighting, dark stone, leather seating, and custom built-ins in a way that feels both elevated and effortlessly comfortable. Every wall has visual interest without feeling cluttered, and the balance between the bourbon lounge and wine bar areas makes the room feel curated and cohesive.
The shelving design alone deserves recognition — the floating shelves, backlighting, styling, and display layout make the bottles feel like part of the architecture rather than just storage. The cabinetry and stone selections ground the room with a masculine, sophisticated feel, while the furniture and decor soften it enough to make you want to stay for hours.
What we love most is how intentional everything feels. The scale, symmetry, color palette, and lighting create an atmosphere that changes throughout the day and truly comes alive at night. It feels high-end and custom in every possible way without ever feeling overdone.
Ryan and Rylee listened carefully to how we wanted the room to feel and somehow exceeded every expectation. Artisan was exceptional from start to finish, and together they created a space that has become the absolute centerpiece of our home. Everyone who walks in immediately says “wow.” This is hands-down our favorite room in the house.”
