The Living Door

Soft, inviting, clean and cozy are the words that come to mind with this home. Sometimes it isn't easy to make all those words work in a home and stay cohesive; but this client trusted the process and now it is exactly what it was meant to be!

Welcome to The Living Door - I believe luxury design starts with listening deeply and understanding your vision so we can create a home that reflects who you are.

I’m Ruth Ann, and I have 15+ years of experience in the interior design industry specializing in timeless, luxury interiors shaped around your personality, lifestyle, and needs. Interior design drives me, but my true passion is people and relationships built while creating your home. From the first consultation to the final reveal, my clients are what keep me inspired and energized.

I love good food, fashion, and fun - but most of all, I love getting to know you. This process is all about you, the homeowners. My goal is to guide, challenge, and support you in creating a space you truly love through my full-service interior design in Sioux Falls and beyond.

Whether you’re local or out of state, I look forward to connecting and bringing your next project to life.

Spring puts everything into motion - days filled with site visits, design revisions, material sourcing, and building connections.

The momentum builds, but the vision stays clear.

Modern design meets mountain charm - warm woods, layered neutrals, and expansive views.

This is where everyday moments become everything.

“In a word…Ruth Ann is amazing! We hired her at the start of our new home construction, and she’s been by our side through the entire process. She has gone above and beyond our expectations many times over. She has a great eye for design and helped us to stay within (and often under!) our budget. I would recommend The Living Door to anyone who wants to end up with a beautiful and comfortable home! Thank you Ruth Ann!” - J.M.
