Jean Stoffer Design specializes in modern classic home design and is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A native Chicagoan, and Grand Rapids, Michigan transplant, Jean has built her design firm focusing on each project with careful attention to detail, respect for classic architecture and genuine interest in her clients, their lives and how they hope to use their home.

She originally became nationally known for her unique and timeless kitchen designs and now is known for her elegant and approachable designs for the whole home, with a special affection for the kitchen.

Jean’s key design partner is her daughter, Grace Start, who joined the firm in 2016. Jean’s classic style and Grace’s fresh modern sensibility create a unique and compelling style that is comfortable, timeless and beautiful.

Many have come to know Jean and Grace, their designs and their relationship, by watching their TV show “The Established Home” on Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Network. Many have also learned the inside story by reading Jean’s book, “Establishing Home, Creating space for a beautiful life with family, faith, and friends.” released November, 2022.

Family involvement is important to Jean. As mentioned above, her daughter Grace is her design partner and leader of the design team. Her son, John Stoffer, has photographed all the firm’s projects, and is the firm’s Director of Marketing. Her son, Daniel Stoffer, is the Special Projects and Hospitality Manager. Her husband, Dale, and son David contribute to the business with their unique gifts, which round it out and create an environment of creativity and togetherness that is its lifeblood.

The growing team at JSD is a dynamic group that puts clients first, enjoys collaborating with architects and contractors, and is passionate about design.

Jean Stoffer Design’s unique mix of materials, textures and color, combined with an understanding and expert application of interior detailing, scale, and proportion, has propelled the firm and its work into the national design conversation. It defies trends and provides spaces that clients find relaxing, exciting and comfortable.

With projects all over the country, JSD is the recipient of many design awards. The firm’s work appears in national design magazines regularly, and Jean is quoted in newspaper, digital, and print articles about design, trends, and the business of design on a regular basis. Through social media, homeowners and designers worldwide look to the firm’s work for inspiration.

JSD’s focus is kitchen design and whole home full-service interior design. Although the firm engages in new construction and remodeling design, old homes are a passion. JSD has projects all over the country.

In 2018 the firm opened a brick-and-mortar store, “Stoffer Home”, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which has become a destination for many. The store opened online for e-commerce in 2019. Jean has curated a collection of home accessories, lighting fixtures, rugs, and furnishings that all work beautifully together. Many exclusive lines that were created by Jean uniquely for the shop are available to all who love the aesthetic for which she is known. In 2020, The Bradbury Cafe opened inside Stoffer Home. It is a European-styled coffee shop serving delicious espresso drinks and pastries.

With her true passion for beautiful English-inspired kitchens still top of her list, later in 2019, Jean launched her own cabinet line, “Stoffer Home Cabinetry”, which is designed to reflect the timeless elements and finishes of English-inspired kitchens. It is now available on a larger scale nationwide to designers and homeowners who embrace this style and desire high-quality, American-made cabinetry and kitchen design.
