Time was taken to understand, then help realize my vision for a calm, serene environment, and then, suggest ideas I hadn't considered which turned out to be terrific. Would work with KWD again! **★★★★★ — Patrick Burke, May 2016** > After meeting and reviewing the potential scope of my project with Kristina, I hired KWD to facilitate the long overdue interior design of multiple rooms in my home. These rooms included: my living room, family room, dining room, and master bedroom. She also revitalized the rest of the house with new paint colors and accessories to tie everything together. > > The recommendations she gave me, based on the “required homework” that I completed, were unique and really reflected who I was and what I wanted for my home. The furniture, décor accessories, and accents were of top quality and will stand the test of time. She also has an amazing eye for color that draws you from room to room. > > Kristina Wolf Design’s customer service was exceptional! Kristina was a delight to work with as well as her assistants, Kelsey and Judy. I was continually updated on deliveries, project timelines, and was never surprised with any details of the project. With the beautiful and fabulous completion of my home, I am in heaven every time I enter the spaces. > > You have a choice, make the right one and hire Kristina Wolf Design. You will not regret your decision. **★★★★★ — Eva Heath, March 2015** > Kristina and her team are super talented, responsive and easy to work with. She is great at scaling to provide a lot--or minimum consultation depending on the aspect of the project. She helped us design the look and feel of our kitchen (a complete gutting--with addition of a small bump out). We continued to rely on her expertise as we extended into updating minor elements of our dining and living room. I now wouldn't think to redesign any part of my home without her consultation. She has a great way of honing in on improvements that will make impact--things we had never considered and have made a huge difference. She is realistic, practical and down-to-earth--but clearly transforms spaced from ordinary to extraordinary! Makes all the headache of remodeling worth it because the outcome is just so good. **★★★★★ — steveharker, March 2015** > Kristina and her team recently transformed the restaurant at Mare Island Golf Course for us. The colors, furniture, fixtures and amenities provide an attractive, comfortable space for golfers and non-golfers. We are also pleased that the cost to create the new "Greenside Tavern" was extremely reasonable. The design team found items that were within our budget and look great. Last, no detail was too small. Every little item, like reframing artwork was addressed. We very much appreciate the service we received and outcome. Steve Harker President, Touchstone Golf **★★★★★ — dclifford11, Feb. 2015** > Kristina advised us on two homes - a smaller two-bedroom house and then a larger home that we purchased when my wife and I and two kids outgrew the smaller home. Kristina and her team were professional, responsive and knowledgeable. They provided just the right level of service that we needed - essentially identifying smaller, high-impact changes that made the houses look much better or much easier to live in. During a remodel she had some great ideas in the early planning stages that saved us lots of second-guessing when the building started. One simple idea that we hadn't thought of - widening a doorway - turned out to provide far better "flow" and usage of our dining room and kitchen. We're glad we consulted with her along the way. We found that she has the right mix of listening skills to identify what we like, but also strong, directed advice to help us break ties or make decisions when we're stuck. Five stars! **★★★★★ — onelmorgan, Dec. 2014** > I have had several occasions over the past several years to use Kristina Wolf's design acumen. She has always been readily accessible to me and has had beautiful, livable ideas and products that fit within my budget guidelines. I particularly have enjoyed that Kristina recommended I keep several pieces of my existing furniture and made them integrate beautifully with her new design. She is able to instill her flair with color and design with my desired outcomes. The resulting effect created in my home have significantly increased my love and comfort of my intimate surroundings. Not only do I love my home more, I receive numerous compliments from friends and guests. Her staff is very efficient and friendly. They followed up with me during my projects to keep me informed about delivery of any products I have ordered. **★★★★ — mjleelim, Nov. 2014** > Kristina does an amazing job of taking your tastes and visions and maximizing the space to provide a true transformation. I am extremely pleased with my final "sanctuary". It exceeds any expectation I had and fulfills a lifetime's desire for a truly finished place. Thanks Kristina! **★★★★★ — Margot Hartford Photography, Nov. 2014** > Kristina was kind enough to allow me to photograph one of her projects for a "My Houzz" feature and it was a pleasure to work with her and her team. The house had some structural challenges which Kristina used as a jumping off point to update a home built in the 1920's. > > The results were fantastic as she had the fireplace rebuilt using an impressive stone mantel, which became the living rooms focal point. She also selected beautiful pieces of furniture and carefully chose fabrics to add the right amount of warmth and color to each room. **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2014** > I have had the opportunity to work with Kristina on several projects. Her interior designs are impeccable and always please her clients. My designing the outdoors to continue and compliment her designs is a pleasure and an honor. **★★★★★ — Ingrid Nielsen, Aug. 2014** > After many, many months of trying to figure out a color schema to repaint our new house, we found Kristina Wolf. She was wonderful to work with and pointed us in a direction we had never even thought of. With the work done, people actually stop, park their cars and ring our doorbell to ask what our paint colors are! **★★★★★ — The Renovation Studio, July 2014** > I am a general contractor who has been working with Kristina Wolf Interior Designs for the past few years on remodeling projects for her clients. Most recently we have worked together on remodeling kitchen and bathroom projects in the East Bay – Oakland, Moraga and Martinez. Kristina has the golden touch when it comes to picking out fixtures, backsplash and tile (even grout colors). She brings a unique look to any room - capturing from other aspects of the home’s interior and creating a common thread that brings the interior design together in harmony with the rest of the house. Kristina creates amazing rooms and clients who hire her benefit greatly from her expertise. Both her clients and I have loved the end result when the project is completed. Anyone looking to remodel should hire Kristina, you can trust her to make the best decisions for you and your home. **★★★★★ — nancyballard, July 2014** > Kristina Wolf was one of the first designers that volunteered their time, expertiese and materials to transform a chemotherapy room from sad and drab to hopefull and lovely. With non profit RoomsThatRock4Chemo, she created an underwater world with coi fish hand painted around the room. A soothing blue, it is a favorite at the chemotherapy rooms of Dr. Kevin Knopf in San Francisco, CA. > Her generosity is bringing joy and hope to those she will never meet; a special person that care enough to make a difference. I wouild recomment Kristina and Design Group for any job of any size. She has my gratitude forever. Nancy Ballard ## Selected projects - [A Suburban Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-suburban-oasis-pj-vj~558133) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: This lovely home is complete with a backyard pool and nearby vineyards. We met the owners when they purchased the home and wanted recommendations for paint. When they were ready for an extensive remodel, they hired us to make every single selection. Our goal was to create living spaces that were contemporary and stylish but where guests were entirely comfortable sitting, relaxing and soaking in the amazing views. To accomplish that last part, we removed walls and widows at the back of the home a… - [A Palo Alto Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-palo-alto-family-home-pj-vj~1863524) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [A Firehouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-firehouse-pj-vj~111712) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: This client is a young partner in a world-class strategic planning company. He knows what he likes but didn’t know how to execute it when he bought a five-story converted firehouse in San Francisco’s Twin Peaks neighborhood. He wanted his home to be a sanctuary after long work days, but he also enjoys entertaining. While he appreciates masculine textures, wood, stone, metal, etc., he also prioritizes comfort. We provided a nice blend with furniture, fabrics and accessories and unique art that ho… - [Eclectic English Tudor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-english-tudor-pj-vj~209730) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This is a beautiful old English Tudor set high in the Berkeley hills with sweeping views of San Francisco Bay. The client has traveled the world and while she wanted to honor the traditional Tudor architecture, she was ready to implement furnishings and accents that reflect her vibrant personality and rich life history. The first step (and one of our favorites) was designing a fireplace that was properly scaled for the massive living room. We honored her love of geometric patterns and bright col… - [Bright Delight](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-delight-pj-vj~112077) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: This client has lived in her home in Walnut Creek for decades. Our mission was to make her home brighter and more functional. We lightened it up with a yellow paint for all the walls, white furniture and new lighting throughout. Because the formal living and family rooms were so close to each other, we gave them very distinctive yet harmonious looks. She needed extra storage so we prioritized pieces that were both stylish and doubled as good storage. - [Cool Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cool-craftsman-pj-vj~42469) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This traditional craftsman in northern Oakland is home to the Hotwire.com president and his family. It is also the congregation point for the neighborhood kids. As such, they needed a living area that could be truly lived in, used as a playroom by day and an adult-friendly entertainment zone at night. They also wanted visitors to be infused with a feeling of joy. The cheerful art we secured for them accomplishes this. We added custom built-ins with plenty of extra storage, including a window sea… - [Quaint Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quaint-bungalow-pj-vj~42472) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This quaint bungalow in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood was our client’s first home purchase. She wanted the home to be inviting and peaceful, but didn’t want to hide her “wilder” side. We completely transformed the look of her home by painting over old, dark wood paneling. Strategically placed window coverings soften the rooms. The client was at a loss as to how to use an oddly shaped room so we created a beautiful reading and sitting area where she can also entertain friends. - [Metropolitan Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/metropolitan-condo-pj-vj~42466) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: This condo is located in a new high-rise in Oakland’s Jack London Square. After a divorce, the client wanted her new home to reflect the free-spirited person she was. She loves bold colors and requested that our design revolve around some recently acquired art pieces. She also wanted cool, edgy furniture, lighting, accents, etc. The condo was a blank canvas so we designed a wall of built-in cabinets to house her home office equipment without looking like a home office. A custom painter did the e… - [An Urban View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/an-urban-view-pj-vj~42471) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Reflects their travels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reflects-their-travels-pj-vj~42470) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Alvarado eclectic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alvarado-eclectic-pj-vj~42533) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Twin Peaks, SF](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-peaks-sf-pj-vj~48070) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Energy Matters Acupuncture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/energy-matters-acupuncture-pj-vj~42465) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Mack](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mack-pj-vj~42468) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/kristina-wolf-design-pfvwus-pf~1761619479) ## Ideabooks - [KED](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69955660/list/ked) — 8 ideas - [Fantastic](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2229775/list/fantastic) — 2 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/kristinawolfdesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: Dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful transition to the bathroom, would you mind sharing the dimensions of the built ins and is width of hallway, also is there a closet on the opposite side of built-ins? Love the look! A: Sathrork, thank you for your question. It is a really nice transition to the bathroom; and what you can't see is on the left side of that hallway, across from the built-in's is a walk-in closet with a window. The built in's to the right are mostly used for extra jackets, work-out gear, shoes and bags. These were custom built to fit the space. Although I don't have the exact dimensions, I do have a good sense of their size. The hallway itself is ~4' wide x 8' long. There are three 30"W sections along that wall. The cabinet doors on top are each 15"W and have one row of 15"W drawers, then two rows of 30"W drawers. The total height of the drawers go's up to about 30" and then cabinets to the ceiling. There is LOTS of storage behind those doors/drawers! I hope this helps answer your question! Thank you for your interest! **Q: Luv the floor what isit** *(in Photo Questions)* Is it avail to purchase? A: Carrlyn, Thank you for your question. Yes! You can purchase these tiles yourself. They are Imola Ceramica “Koshi White” 12x12 and Imola Ceramica “Koshi Cemente” 12x12 laid on diagonal. We go these from our favorite tile place in Oakland called, Art Tile. They are optn to the public and that tile is still available. Hope this helps! :) **Q: Size?** *(in Photo Questions)* What are the dimensions of the the room? A: Hi Louie\_123! This room is pretty large, 15'10" wide x 18'10" long. **Q: Fan is lovely- does anyone know the brand or name of fan?** *(in Photo Questions)* The fan is lovely. Anyone know what it is or where to buy one? A: Hey Karen. Yes, this fan is beautiful. The client purchased it before using our services and she got it at Restoration Hardware. Here is the info: Axis Ceiling Fan 60”. Finish: Orb **Q: Wall color and manu. please.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hey Tracy L. This wall color is one of our favorites, it is so multi-dimensional! It is from Benjamin Moore and is called "Sea Haze" \#2137-50 **Q: Tile floor** *(in Photo Questions)* I'm in love with this beautiful space, cans you share more info on the tile floor? I love the shade of color! Thank you A: Sure Shauna! The flooring tiles came from Art Tile in Oakland, although I am sure many other retailers carry this manufacturer. Here is the information: Imola Ceramica “Koshi White” 12x12 and Imola Ceramica “Koshi Cemente” 12x12 laid on diagonal. Hope this helps! :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
