A man with short gray hair and a navy blue short-sleeve button-up shirt sits on a stool against a plain green background, evoking the timeless style of an old Scottsdale bungalow. He has a neutral expression and is wearing tan pants. His hands rest on his knees.

Bungalow stylist · Desert contemporary

Meet Scott Schaefer, a third-generation Phoenician with a desert contemporary eye and a soft spot for Earth, Wind & Fire. He brings Spanish colonial and Mexican territorial influences together with fresh modern pieces. Menswear has a place here, too: wool plaids, chalk stripes and herringbones on modern and vintage furniture, softened with piles of down pillows.

Scott starts with how you live, how you use a room and what you’re drawn to. Function comes first, but personality gets plenty of say. With Ralph Lauren and Alfredo Paredes among his design influences, he enjoys finding the unexpected combination that makes you look at a space differently. The starting point is always you.

Working with Scott

Desert, with a tailored twist

A good match if you’re drawn to Spanish colonial and Mexican territorial influences, fresh modern pieces and the texture of a well-chosen plaid, stripe or herringbone.

Real life comes first

Scott begins by getting to know your lifestyle, how you use the space and the aesthetic you enjoy. Practical needs give the room its foundation.

Leave room for the unexpected

Modern and vintage can sit comfortably together. Scott enjoys finding the combination that makes you think, “I never thought of that,” while keeping your personality in the picture.
