Welcome to Starling Interiors, a chic and whimsical interior design studio based in Birmingham, AL., founded by Sumner Starling. With a passion for design that's both approachable and elegant, Sumner brings a fresh, tasteful and exquisite twist to every space she touches. Her style blends sophistication with unexpected, playful elements that turn any room into something truly unique. Whether it's a pop of color, an unconventional object, or a surprising texture on a piece of furniture, Sumner's designs make everyday spaces feel extraordinary.

Sumner has had the joy of working on projects across the country, from the sunny coasts of Florida to the rugged landscapes of Idaho—with meaningful stops in between, like the Lone Star State of Texas. Her interiors have also been featured several times in Birmingham Home & Garden, and she was honored to be part of their 2021 Inspiration Home Designer Showhouse (image featured on this page).

Her studio’s approach is simple: great design should feel as fun as it does functional. She works closely with each client to create spaces that reflect their personality while remaining timelessly elegant.
