For a home that feels authentic to its roots, where every fabric and finish has a "why."

Most designers chase trends that fade. At SDBinteriors, we design for centuries. We believe your home is a legacy, not a project.

By blending the soul of historic preservation with the strength of modern sustainability, we uncover the heart of your home and layer it with the unique story you’ve been dying to tell. We don’t just remodel; we create a personal sanctuary that honors its past and is built to stand for generations to come.

SDBinteriors is all about putting heart and creativity into our work. We make sure every space we design is personal and reflects our clients. We care about making designs that look good and help the environment, using local art and craftsmanship.

Each space tells a story.

We like making places that feel real to each person. We listen carefully to our clients and make designs that show their stories, so their homes feel just like them.

Harmony with nature.

We care about the environment and want our designs to make homes feel calm and cozy, so we use materials that are good for the planet and aim for a balanced and peaceful atmosphere.

Celebrating local talent.

We think it's super important to include art from our local artists in what we make. It helps our community and makes each project special with its own vibe.

Who you're working with...

My mission is to bridge 19th-century craftsmanship with 21st-century living. Having navigated the navigated the complexities of my own historic home, I provide a roadmap that honors your property’s story while protecting your sanity and investment.

Hi, I'm Shashana D. Bonilla

Founder, Principal Architectural Interior Designer

I believe historic homes are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods, but I know the weight of that responsibility firsthand. My passion isn't just professional—it’s personal, as I live it every day in my very own 1906 property. I’ve stood where you are, facing the "surprises" hidden behind walls and navigating the delicate balance of modernizing a layout without losing its soul.

"Shashana and her design team did an incredible job with my home. The interior designs I ended up with were above and beyond expectation and I could not be happier with the end result. Not to mention, the entire design and install process was easy, professional, and modernized. Claire Darson"

"Working with Shashana on a massive remodel project was a truly positive experience. Her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding. She consistently kept us informed of project progress, addressed our concerns promptly, and always went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The final design was not only beautiful but also highly functional, exceeding our expectations. We highly recommend Shashana to any contractor looking for a talented and reliable interior designer. Her firm is a one stop for all as she can do both architectural and design features, which saved our company so much time and money."

Edwin Rejer

"In November of 2024 we bought a 20 plus year old house in the heart of Richmond that needed a whole house remodel...meaning new floors, knocking out walls, redoing the kitchen, etc. By way of background, my wife and I are not rookies when it comes to projects like this, we have done many whole house remodels, gutting houses down to the studs in some cases as well as buying land and building from scratch. In our past projects we have been fortunate to find great contractors who worked with skilled designers and then finally interior designers to assist with furniture layout, etc. Shashana does all of these things and more. She worked with us from the very beginning with the construction drawings, to picking out every last detail. Flooring, paint, cabinets...everything! She is by far and away the most skilled , talented person we have ever worked with...she quickly "got us." Without Shashana, our house would have turned out OK....with Shashana our house is amazing. These types of projects are expensive, making a mistake is very costly, Shashana will keep you from making mistakes. Whatever her fees are its worth every penny to make sure your investment turns out right."
