About Santa Barbara Designs of the Interior
After 14 years of interior design at our offices in Westlake Village, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing clients, and we couldn’t be prouder of our past accomplishments. From Santa Barbara to Malibu, Westlake Village to Pasadena, Rancho Palos Verdes to beyond, we delight in having clients for life, who know us and trust us implicitly.
We’re excited that our move will enable us to be closer to the unique neighborhoods of Santa Barbara, each with its own charm and feel, which fits very well with the diverse design experiences we’ve had. It’s perfect for our long-time clients and new!
