About
Opening the Door to
Inspired
Spaces
In the world of interior design, a black door stands as a bold statement — elegant, refined, and endlessly adaptable. It invites curiosity, sets a tone of confidence, and elevates everything around it. At Black Door Design, we strive to bring that same sense of impact and intention to our work. With a commitment to thoughtful design and timeless style, we open the door to spaces that are both beautiful and deeply personal.
Stephanie Troilo, Founder & Lead Designer
With certifications in Interior Design and over 18 years of experience in marketing, I bring a unique blend of creativity, strategy, and professionalism to every project. My passion lies in creating spaces that not only look beautiful but feel deeply personal and functional for the people who live in them.
My approach is client-first and process-focused. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, I’m committed to making each step thoughtful, transparent, and tailored to your needs. I believe great design starts with listening — really understanding how you want to live in your space — and ends with a home that reflects your personality and lifestyle.
Having spent years working closely with contractors, builders, and vendors, I know that clear communication and collaboration are key to a successful project. Clients often describe me as organized, responsive, and straightforward — qualities I take pride in and that help keep projects running smoothly and on time.
I live in Bel Air, MD with my husband, our son, and our lovable Springer Spaniel, Luna (who also happens to be the studio's unofficial Design Assistant). Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places, playing music, and finding inspiration in everyday moments. From art and architecture to nature and travel, I’m always collecting ideas that spark creativity and help me design spaces my clients love to come home to.


Luna, Design Assistant & Good Vibes Specialist
Hi there! I’m Luna — proud Springer Spaniel, professional napper, and the ever-loyal Design Assistant here at Black Door Design. When I’m not chasing my ball across the studio floor or inspecting fabric samples, you can find me right by my mom’s side while she brings her beautiful design visions to life.
I love watching her transform spaces — it’s like magic! One minute it’s just a room, and the next it’s a cozy, stylish haven filled with personality (and sometimes the perfect rug to roll around on). I take my job very seriously — someone’s got to make sure the throw pillows are snuggle-approved and the mood boards get the proper amount of paw-sitivity. Every day I get to be part of something creative and exciting, and I wouldn’t trade it for all the treats in the world.
