Live Beautifully.

A Family Business. A 50-Year Obsession with Getting it Right.

Schoener Interiors didn't start in a showroom. It started in a garage.

In 1976, Linda Schoener began what she thought would be a small upholstery workshop, and quickly discovered that everything she loved about design lived in interiors: the texture of fabric, the discipline of scale, the way a room can make someone feel at home in their own life. She never looked back.

What grew from that garage is now one of the Pacific Northwest's most trusted design destinations, still family-owned, still locally rooted, still run by people who believe that great design should feel effortless for the client and never follow a trend just because it's trending. In 2026, Schoener opened its most intentional chapter yet: a destination design center in the heart of Kirkland, fifty years in the making.

Why Kirkland

Kirkland is a thriving, walkable, deeply community-minded neighborhood. The kind of place where residents, business owners, and city leaders actually show up for one another. From the moment we arrived, that warmth was unmistakable.

We came here because Kirkland reflects how we've always operated: rooted in community, invested in relationships, and built for the long term. Our new home was designed to bring every resource: furniture, lighting, tile, fabrics, hardware, rugs, and our full design team, under one roof, so every decision can be made with context, confidence, and something worth being excited about.

What makes us Different

We don't show complete sets. We never have. Every corner of our showroom is an intentional composition — eclectic, curated, and built to inspire rather than to sell a "look." You'll find furnishings alongside art alongside lighting alongside hardware, because that's how a real home comes together. Not in categories. In conversation.

We are a full-service design center, which means we handle everything from first concept to final placement — and the design services are always complimentary. You invest in the products and the vision. We invest in making sure it's exactly right.

We also sell off the showroom floor, which is rarer than it should be. If you see it, you can have it. Customization is always an option, but so is simply falling in love with something and taking it home.

And when something goes wrong — because in any project, something sometimes does — we handle it. No passing the buck. No pointing at a vendor. We've been doing this long enough to know that how you respond to a problem is what defines a client relationship.

Our Team

Linda Schoener

  • Linda founded Schoener in June 1976 as a solo upholstery workshop in her garage. Trained in fashion design, she found that her eye for fabric, texture, and construction translated naturally into scale, function, and space planning. The business grew from its first Lynnwood showroom in 1982 to a custom-built design center in 1993, a move to Bellevue's Lincoln Square in 2006, and its newest home in Kirkland in 2026.

    She regularly attends premier furniture and accessory markets to source one-of-a-kind pieces, and her full-service studio specializes in space planning, custom workroom pieces like bedding, cushions, and pillows, and tailored window treatments. For Linda, the greatest reward is longevity: she still meets clients from 30 years ago who cherish the spaces they created together.

Brent Littlefield

  • Brent joined Schoener at fourteen as a box boy and spent the next 28 years working every corner of the business, from the showroom floor to sourcing to the drafting table. That ground-up path to Partner and Lead Designer means he reads a project from every angle before a single selection is made.

    Mentored by founder Linda Schoener, he learned that luxury lives in the details and that the truest service is making the extraordinary feel effortless. Today he leads projects for discerning homeowners on both coasts, guiding each from first palette to final placement with custom builds and designer furnishings that are timeless, functional, and deeply personal. His work has appeared in published design collections.

A Note on Legacy

We have watched trends come and go for fifty years. We have watched showrooms open and close. We have watched clients return, not because they needed something new, but because they trusted us to help them get it right again.

That consistency is not accidental. It is a choice, made every day, to prioritize relationships over transactions, quality over quantity, and longevity over what's popular right now.

We are a family business. We intend to stay one.
