Palm Springs Interior Design – Laid-Back Luxury, Thoughtfully Executed
For Homeowners Who Want Their Desert Property to Feel Like Home
Whether you're in town for the season or managing your property from out of state—our Palm Springs interior design services offer full-home design with expert coordination.

Designed for Second Homes, Seasonal Residents + Full-Time Palm Springs Living
We know what it’s like to juggle a renovation while living somewhere else. That’s why we act as your go-to person on the ground, handling the day-to-day, checking in on trades, and keeping your project aligned with your original vision. Whether you're updating a vintage mid-century home or building from the ground up, we make the process easier, clearer, and more enjoyable.
Our Interior Design + Coordination Process
Step 1
Vision + Planning
We begin with a one-on-one consultation, digging into how you use the home, how often you’re here, and what you want it to feel like. From there, we develop a clear design direction, timeline & estimated scope.
Step 2
Design + Materials
We create selections that match your aesthetic, lifestyle & budget—from desert-appropriate fabrics to furnishings that balance style & durability. You’ll review moodboards, finishes & space plans to make confident decisions, even from afar.
Step 3
Oversight + Coordination
We help assemble your team, connect with licensed local contractors, and stay involved throughout construction. You’ll receive regular updates, photos & notes, so you stay informed without needing to be on-site.

Honest, Hands-On Oversight
Kelly brings years of experience managing site work & collaborating with contractors. We advocate for your vision, so nothing gets lost in translation.
We did a major remodel of our entire home with Kelly and honestly could not have done it without her. She was incredibly reliable, working as our project manager and helping to coordinate between all of our subs. She was there to meet the subs and walk through the project, there for inspections, installations and deliveries.
And her work was amazing. She was thorough in every aspect of her work - from her design (including multiple bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, living spaces, and bonus rooms), to ordering, and then also following through and making sure that everything was executed as we had planned.
She worked to stay on budget, worked to keep all the subs on our timeline, and helped put it all together. It all came together even better than I had ever hoped.
I really could not have done our project without her - we were so lucky to find her!
