When you prioritize the human needs for a space, design can have a profound impact.

Smith & Ragsdale—now continuing as Abbey Ragsdale Design Studio— is an award-winning full-scale interior design firm based in Dallas, Texas.

Our work is rooted in thoughtful space planning and architectural detail, with particular expertise in kitchens and baths, and highly functional living spaces. From initial concept through completion, each project is carried forward with the same care and intention—layering materials, furnishings, and finishes to create homes that feel cohesive, intentional, and deeply livable.

We believe every home presents unique opportunities that are best realized through expert planning, clear decision-making, and close collaboration. Our work reflects our clients’ lifestyles and priorities, balancing function, materiality, and experience with a deep respect for how homes are built, furnished, and lived in.

What it means to be beautiful or well-designed is subjective. There is not one style or approach that offers all the solutions. Each project and each client brings a unique set of challenges and opportunities for creative solutions.
