About

When Barbara Stewart started her custom framing shop out of her home on College Street in 1952, she didn’t expect that her company would one day become the premiere interior design company in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Fast forward to today and her Downtown design firm is providing quality service to thousands of customers each year. What has now become a staple to the Bowling Green community, Barbara Stewart Interiors offers gifts, bridal registries, décor, furnishing and interior design services to everyone who walks through the doors of 444 East Main Avenue.

Whether selecting one special piece or working from new construction, we can provide fabrics, wall coverings, flooring, area rugs, artwork, decorative accessories, draperies and beddings to all of our clients. Our design services, combined with our on-site custom invitations boutique, custom gifts and engraving make us a one-stop shop for all our shopper’s needs whether in person or online.

Thanks!

As a native of Bowling Green, KY, Susan followed in her mother’s footsteps and launched her own interior design career after graduating from Western Kentucky University. Since then, she has worked on both commercial and residential design projects, eventually becoming design director for a leading office furniture dealer in North Carolina and Lexington, KY before returning to Barbara Stewart Interiors in 1994. Apart from being an interior designer, Susan designs for the custom framing department, operates the company and is a certified color specialist.
