About Timala Stewart
I’m a multi-creative shaping the future of home for design enthusiasts and professionals. I lead Decurated, a dual-division design studio and procurement consultancy rooted in interiors, business strategy, and sensory workshops that reflect thoughtful living. Shaped by my extensive career as a home furnishings buyer, my perspective blends my creative eye and merchant skills, giving me a keen ability to visualize beautiful spaces while understanding how products are made, sourced, and lived with every day.Through interiors, I bridge the gap between DIY and DFY design for home enthusiasts looking to overcome decision fatigue and confidently elevate their home aesthetic. Alongside design, my consultancy advises scaling interior design firms and home decor businesses on vendor relations, sourcing practices and procurement workflows. Through Decurated IRL, I connect interior design and community by hosting creative workshops for offline home inspiration, meaningful conversation, and artful experiences beyond the scroll.Whether I’m transforming a space, guiding a home brand’s business strategy, or hosting curated gatherings that bring people together, my work follows a simple rhythm: helping design enthusiasts elevate their spaces with confidence and helping home-focused businesses serve their audiences with intention. My expertise has been featured in Business of Home, Tampa Magazine, Ebony Magazine, Black Enterprise and Apartment Therapy with recent collaborators including High Point Market Authority, Ruggable, and Floor & Decor. My work continues to evolve, extending into creative direction and cultural storytelling that explore how we live, gather, and express ourselves through home.
