**★★★★★ — Michele Scott, March 2021**

> Kirsten Pike Design came highly recommended by a previous client of hers. She did wonderful work for us on our Pacific Heights, San Francisco property. We are now excited to be working with her on a remodel of same house at a new 5100 square footage. New interior architecture, kitchen, 5 bathrooms, furnishing, decor and art throughout. Also, we're breaking ground on a new 10,000 sq ft ranch in 2023 and look forward to work with Kirsten on that project as well.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you Michele! I am excited to be working on the 5,100 sq. ft. remodel in Pac Heights. I am also looking forward to be working on the brand new construction in 2023 of a 12,000 sq. ft. ranch designing the interior architecture + doing all new furnishings and decor. Exciting!. Thank you so much!

**★★★★★ — Esther Levandoski, Dec. 2025**

> We hired Kirsten Pike Design to complete a remodel, as well as curate furnishings and decor, for a second home in beautiful Larkspur, Marin County. We became aware of Kirsten Pike Design through an editorial we read and viewed in Marin Magazine a couple of years ago about Kirsten's firm. We kept the article and were delighted to have the good fortune to hire this remarkable team for the remodel of our home. We wanted a somewhat Scandinavian feel, and Kirsten is originally from Copenhagen. We wanted the feel to be light, airy, modern, and yet cozy with a good dash of Danish"hygge". Kirsten had the entire house demoed. We now have a brand-new kitchen, completely new bathrooms and powder room, new hardwood flooring, new doors, a brand-new fireplace, and Kirsten designed and had fabricated a beyond fantastic, new staircase. She tore down a non-bearing wall to expand the kitchen to bring in more light and expansion, and designed a unique, artistic long bench that separates the living room from the dining room. So much light now streams into the dining room. Kirsten brought in every single person who worked on the project, from the contractor to the wallpaper people to the fine cabinetry and custom kitchen cabinet maker. All new furnishings throughout are mostly from Europe, and some pieces, of course, from Denmark. The only touches we wanted from the past were paintings from our collection, amongst them a couple of Chagalls, which look fantastic here. Kirsten reframed all the art to make it all work with the new look and feel of the interiors. We love all the personal touches throughout and adore Kirsten's very hands-on approach throughout the process. The result is everything and more than we wanted. Our brand-new home inspires us and makes us have this inner feeling of sweetness and joy. We highly recommend Kirsten and her wonderful, efficient team!!

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you so much Esther and Gerry for this project!!  It's super satisfying to be the creator of this remarkable transformation knowing that you thrive in your new home and love the charm, light, playfulness, layers, sweetness and luxurious minimalism there are at play here. I deeply appreciate both of you!

**★★★★★ — nicolefedora, Dec. 2023**

> Having had the opportunity to collaborate with Kirsten, I have come to appreciate her as a dedicated and passionate professional in the field of residential interior design. It is inspiring to work alongside such a strong and committed colleague. She's much more than an interior designer. Her understanding of architecture and what is required to take a project from beginning to finish is above and beyond. Her approach extends beyond mere spatial design, as she skillfully weaves a narrative within the fabric of a home. Kirsten's design style is truly distinctive, marked by her capability to navigate projects on both a macro and micro scale. She meticulously attends to every design element. Her abilities as a muralist coupled with her experience with art curation impart a unique and defining touch to her creations.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you so much for your wonderful review Nic, I’m blushing :-). I loved working with you. I look forward to many collaborations.

**★★★★★ — Erin Russell, Sept. 2023**

> Kirsten Pike did a top-notch job on our residence in addition to designing dreamy outdoor spaces across multiple terraces and our backyard. Kirsten designed the full interior of our home and produced a beautiful result that we now get to enjoy every day. We really appreciated Kirsten's flexibility to work around our busy schedules and how she prioritized personalized, face-to-face coordination. She curated all the art and executed all 4 floors with furnishings and decor to create a seamless oasis for our family. She has a very keen eye for design and attention to detail. The feel of our home is modern, playful, sophisticated, inviting and livable, like we had asked for. We're very pleased with Kirsten and her team, the end result, and have enjoyed sharing our new space with family and friends. Thank you KPD!

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you for your genuine testimonial! It was a wonderful collaboration to create this 4,400 sq ft modern, playful, sophisticated, inviting and livable home that you and you family can enjoy for many years to come. Thanks again, KPD team.

**★★★★★ — kelly alpert, Aug. 2023**

> We hired Kirsten Pike Design to do the interior design for our newly purchased 7,200 square foot home. We did not bring furniture or any decor from our previous home. We decided to hire Kirsten because we knew we wanted the design of our home to be unique. When we started the project, we did not know what style our home was going to be, and we began exploring this with Kirsten. Kirsten did all of the indoor and outdoor furnishings as well as every aspect of the overall decor and remodeling, including her unique design of a new fireplace for our living room. She curated sculptures, sourced light fixtures and designed a wall mural in our dining room and  custom wall paneling for our theater room. We love the end result of our one of a kind home.  It is a home that portrays our interests and our individual tastes.  Kirsten Pike Design led us through a process of design that started with an empty house and that concluded with a beautiful fully furnished home that we love to walk into and spend time in with our family!

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you so much for your review Kelly! It’s thrilling that the two of you and your kids love the end result. It’s wonderful to see this grand project coming to fruition. I loved every aspect of the design process of this remodel and design adventure. Thank you trusting me and my team to marry your and Richard’s very different sense of style.

**★★★★★ — John Murray, April 2021**

> I hired Kirsten Pike Design to do my condo in Pacific Heights when I moved from Manhattan to San Francisco. I liked the fact that Kirsten is from Copenhagen and would bring some different perspectives to the table, as compared with other designers whom I had interviewed. She updated the interior architecture, to be current with the times, by adding decorative plaster, moldings, a fantastic new staircase, and many other interior architectural elements. A new, modern kitchen flows with the architecture very well. Her choice of furnishings, decor and curated art were spot on and her attention to detail exceeded my expectations. A great experience through and through!

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thanks John! We enjoyed restoring and designing your condo. I am glad I exceeded your expectations :). The team says they appreciate your sense of humor. Thanks for everything!

**★★★★★ — HU-495194901, March 2021**

> Kirsten Pike of Kirsten Pike Design designed our entire home that we had just purchased. We were not able to bring any of our previous furniture and accessories because we purchased a smaller home. Kirsten procured all new furnishings and accessories and reframed our art collection to make it work with the new, modern interior.
>
> Kirsten not only captured the essence of the house and the modern but comfortable light feeling and palette that we wanted but she also captured the essence of us: How we live, what we like, how we see our lives and ourselves in this house. She took us on a journey in the world of design where she became our guide and teacher.
>
> Our home is lovely, personable, and just beautiful. Her murals are one of our favorite highlights of the house ~ just fantastic. Finally, she arranged all workings for the house and deliveries etc. and it made it easy and fluent so that we could focus on our lives and work while everything concerning the house was taken care of. I recommend her highly ~ I only wish we had another home for her to furnish & design!!

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you for your words Helen!  Thank you also for bringing Equator Coffees to Marin County and San Francisco! The best coffee in the Bay Area!

**★★★★★ — Sakshi, March 2021**

> We hired Kirsten Pike Design to furnish our entire loft space in San Francisco including creating a 130" wide custom peninsula in the kitchen, a 16' tall custom faux concrete finished wall, beautiful custom wooden trellis wall made in India with trellis door for access to hide storage area under staircase, custom rugs, a custom moss wall in the living room and other custom touches.
>
> Kirsten is brilliant and she did everything that we had agreed and trusted her to do and beautifully so. We wanted a cool, moody, industrial feel with eclectic touches. This was our first time hiring a designer and we loved the experience. Kirsten made the process easy and smooth for us. She continued to surprise us with her design ideas. We did not have to worry about any execution with the contractors. It's Covid so we're working at home and she incorporated two offices into the open spaces. We feel that we have separation from the rest of the living spaces and yet it all flows. Since we're home so much, she brought in many plants as large as 12' tall and created an oasis so that everything we need is right here. We're grateful to her! Our home is now our sanctuary.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you for your words Sakshi! We highly appreciate it. Your loft is special. I particularly like the dramatic 16' wall we created with a rough finish/texture that protrudes 3/4" in places. People go nuts over that wall.  It was wonderful working with you.

**★★★★★ — lourdessquivel, Feb. 2021**

> Kirsten Pike Design did the remodel of my home in Sausalito. It was my first time working with an interior designer and I had no idea prior how valuable it is to be working with a designer. I consider myself creative and capable as a production manager but working with Kirsten showed me a whole new level of expertise and capability. Thereafter I would never even consider doing a home on my own. When I bought a second home, a houseboat, also in Sausalito, I immediately turned to Kirsten and she gave my small houseboat that Danish "hygge" feel that I sought. Lots of white with contrasting lighter wood. Minimalistic and modern. It looks effortless but in actuality, my houseboat is a study in meticulousness. Thank you Kirsten!
>
> Lourdes Esquivel

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you Lourdes! I loved working on both projects with you. The two projects are very different. You main house is minimalistic and modern as you point out and your houseboat has the HYGGE feeling that is close to my Danish heart. Because of the light wood we chose throughout and a palette of mostly ivory and white (we even painted the floorboards a glossy white) your houseboat looks much bigger. We created indoor access to the deck on the roof overlooking the Bay and SF and added a sunroom all of which hugely contribute to the charm and overall experience.

**★★★★★ — Troy Maher, Feb. 2021**

> I have worked with Kirsten Pike Design on many projects around the Bay Area over the last 12 years. Kirsten is one of the designers I admire the most, and I have worked with many dozens. She is supremely confident in her decisions. She definitely has her own style, but every job is as diverse as her clientele. To me, that speaks of an intuitiveness that is critical to achieving a successful outcome. For me personally, I really enjoy the challenges she sees in wallpaper. For example, using a strip from different parts of the home to dress up an otherwise ordinary support column in a stunning penthouse. Or breaking up murals and hand picking each framed square of a headboard wall, making an incredible, unique application, or wrapping a simple shelf in the same paper above and below making it part of the overall design. She is also an accomplished artist, doing graphics or gentle floral designs on her clients’ walls to enhance an area and personalise it with warmth.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you Troy for all these years on all these projects. You are the best of the best!

**★★★★★ — jussy\_l, Feb. 2021**

> Kirsten Pike Design has been my go-to interior design firm for the past 12+ years. I have hired Kirsten to partner with me on the design of many of my downtown San Francisco corporate locations.  I have leaned on her sense of responsibility, expertise, versatility and excellence.
>
> She has designed lobbies, meditation Zen rooms, conference spaces and media and staff game rooms in numerous office high rises in the Financial District.  A few years ago, Kirsten worked on a project for us designing a Japanese Dojo in Potrero Hill for a Martial Arts Studio.  This was her first Dojo and she executed it flawlessly. She also designed my southern Marin County residence.
>
> Kirsten is a powerhouse and a pleasure to work with. She listens to your ideas and preferences with a sensitive intelligence.  She transforms spaces that are elegant yet functional and is incredibly resourceful.
>
> She is a master at her craft and there is no limit to the depth of the vision she has for her clients.  Kirsten creates spaces that tie together beautifully.  She is extremely organized, sets clear plans, precise with budgets and deadlines and provides seamless communication throughout her projects.
>
> If you have not seen her wall murals, I urge you to see one.  Kirsten creates original wall murals which she imagines and then sketches herself.  These murals are mesmerizing and the details breathtaking.  Her murals have a personal meaning to her clients.
>
> I have been fortunate to have had her as a resource for interior design needs through the years.
>
> She is a creative visionary.
>
> Justine L.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you Justine! Our murals are only executed for our design clientele and are one of a kind. I personally design them. They are personalized for the client and have special meaning for the client. They enhance the living spaces, architecture and become an intrinsic part of the home.

**★★★★★ — bachoang, Feb. 2021**

> I am a faux finisher, plasterer, and expert of restorations. I have worked in some of the finest homes throughout the bay area. Have worked with designers for sport stars, tech titans, famous actors, directors, as well as for MoMA. I have worked with Kirsten on many projects over the past 11 + years. She is a talent and wonderfully creative, precise, and attentive to detail designer. Always enjoy working with and for her.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> You rock Bac! We've had so many wonderful collaborations. I look forward to another 11 years!

**★★★★★ — Bilgart Design, Feb. 2021**

> I am a draftsman and fellow designer and have had the pleasure of following Kirsten Pike Design through several projects and her aesthetic sense never seizes to amaze me.Each project has been unique, sophisticated and imaginatively executed.
> She orchestrates installations, creates custom solutions and exquisite murals with confidence.Deeply rooted in her Danish upbringing but always eclectic. Her projects are filled with elegance and wonder- she clearly has a talent for tuning into her clients' taste and vision.
> In addition, Kirsten Pike Design collaborates with many talented craftsmen, so their projects are beautifully executed. I highly recommend Kirsten Pike Design.
> Paulette Bilgart

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Unlike most interior design firms, we choose not to have a signature look but tailor the Interiors to the individual client. Each project is unique. Thank you for pointing that out and more! Appreciate it.

**★★★★★ — alix l, Sept. 2020**

> We had Kirsten Pike of Kirsten Pike Design design our entire home. We wanted a transitional style that used some of the pieces from our former home. She was able to use that as a starting point and put together exactly the look we were wanting. We are very happy with the look and feel of our new home. We opted to have her do some murals in our house and they really add a personal and unique touch. The majority of the work was done during COVID-19 which made deliveries and scheduling contractors much more difficult. We made it through though and Kirsten tried her best to keep things as minimally disruptive as possible. We look forward to enjoying our new home for many years.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Here at Kirsten Pike Design we take pride in designing one-of-a-kind, high end and luxurious homes for our discerning clients. Our projects rank with the countries TOP interior designers without the colossal price tag. I loved the collaboration with you and Joe on this 4000 sq ft project. Your home is infused with elements from your cultural heritage such as the architectural rendering in the mural in the family room and the fab Moroccan wedding necklace as well as many other Middle Eastern purchases and touches throughout your home. Your home is mixology with pieces from all over the world and in particular modern and antique pieces from France, Italy and Denmark. I designed the murals throughout your home to incorporate the nature theme you desired. Hundreds of pieces were either purchased or were custom made. Custom installations added to the personal and jewel-like feel. Joe's comment that our work throughout your home exceeds his expectations means a lot. Thank you both!

**★★★★★ — Sean McArdle, June 2020**

> Kirsten Pike is one of the most creative and incredibly talented interior designers I've collaborated with through the years. She has a wonderful way of listening to her clients and then executing their vision along with her insightful and professional abilities to see a project through successfully from beginning to end. Kirsten is a true artist and realizes the details are the building blocks for the full vision to become a reality.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> You are a wonderful architect Sean and I appreciate your kudos. Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Candra Severson, Feb. 2020**

> We hired Kirsten Pike Design to furnish and choose all decor in our 6,000 sq. foot home (5 bedroom/5 bath)in Marin County. We wanted an overall transitional, modern look but with traditional and eclectic pieces in the mix.  Kirsten and her assistants were gems to work with -  true professionals.  They were very accommodating as we worked in stages over 7 years and in the same time period did the interior design of two other smaller homes of ours.  Each room feels comfortable and organic but is also perfectly in sync with our transitional / modern look.  The beautiful furniture, lighting, tiles, window treatments, the gorgeous upholstery, custom tables & chairs exceeded our expectations!  They were very respectful of our budget and timelines.  One of the many things I enjoy most about Kirsten's designs is that she knows how to tailor a project so that it's a true reflection of us!  Her level of creative talent, is beyond extraordinary.  Thank you Kirsten & team for doing an OUTSTANDING job on our home(s). We so enjoyed working with you and look forward to recommend our friends/relatives.

> Candra Severson

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you Candra! In early conversations, you pointed out  that designers rarely stay within budget but as you point out in your review, we do and we were respectful of timelines. We loved working with you!

**★★★★★ — Randall Doctor, Dec. 2019**

> I hired Kirsten Pike Design to do the decor in my living room and dining room which have sweeping views over all of San Francisco and San Francisco Bay/Bridges. I wanted it very modern but also eclectic with luxurious undertones and wanted it to be very comfortable. I wanted an interior that would be as great as the views but that would not detract from the views. Working with Kirsten was great and easy. She delivered everything I wanted with furniture from Ralph Pucci, Artemest, 1st Dibs, Luminaire and other great venues. The process was smooth and easy. It was finished on time and within budget. When I do a renovation and all new decor for my other home in Tiburon, I will definitely use Kirsten again. Interior Design is Kirsten’s life passion, not just a job, and it is what sets her apart from other designers.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> We look forward to working with you on your other home in Tiburon Randall! Thank you for everything! I am glad we could deliver on time and were able to stay within budget. Yes, you're right, interior design is not just a job for me. It's my life passion.

**★★★★★ — alan nichols, May 2019**

> Kirsten Pike Design was warmly recommended to me and I'm very pleased that I had her do my entire condo. She renovated the kitchen, other partial renovations like the fireplace, master closet and did all the decor and all the home improvements with ease and finesse.
>
> Dozen upon dozen of pieces were purchased (also a couple of custom pieces by Kirsten Pike), murals were painted on 3 walls, a 35 foot long hallway's walls were clad in wood. All was finished prior to the deadline I had given her. She arranged for all the deliveries. I never felt inconvenienced and although I lived on site for most of the duration of the project, I was blissfully unaware of everything that was going on. She juggled the budget for my home beautifully and got the most out of it possible!

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Alan, you had heartfelt and special memories from your childhood growing up on a ranch here in beautiful CA. Only your memories are left from that time. You wanted those memories to somehow enter your new home in San Francisco. Therefore, I painted a prairie of indigenous grasses on the wall in your dining room and a 8.5' tall mural of the horse you had as a child in your main bedroom. In the entry, I did a floor to ceiling mural with the footprints of the wildlife on your ranch that included a footprint of a mountain lion, fox and your own boot print. In staying with the rustic cowboy theme, you desired, I added a collection of daggers and arrowheads in a modern display of Plexiglas. Also placed about 20 etchings and paintings of the famous artist Edward Borein on your walls. It was my exquisite pleasure to bring back to life your special childhood memories!

**★★★★★ — Gail Dolton, May 2019**

> Kirsten worked on every inch of the interior of our new townhouse in downtown Mill Valley and it has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. She is extremely responsive and easy to work with. Kirsten has unique and innovative ideas and loves finding one-of-a-kind pieces for her clients.  She is more than a designer - she is a true artist. She custom designed  a 8' H X 5.5' W painting for us that would definitely have the admiration of all of Mill Valley and she designed 4 murals in our house, one of them nearly 20' tall.
>
> Several pieces of furniture in our home are designed by her. In one room, every pieces of furniture including a bunkbed, desk and wood clad walls in intricate patterns are Kirsten's own design. We wanted a modern French feel to our home because of our affiliations there. Growing up in Europe and having travelled all over, Kirsten was the perfect designer to carry that out. She orchestrated the coming and going of faux finishers, people who implemented her design for the front door, painters, carpenters, electricians, drape and roman shade installers, closet installers, wall paper hangers, installers and fabricators of her furniture designs, and all the dozens upon dozens of individual pieces from all over the world that she brought into our home and had delivered.  She tailored the home to us. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

> Gail, you were spectacular to work with. I so enjoyed this project.

**★★★★★ — Shankardas Mohandas, May 2019**

> Kirsten Pike Design was recommended to me by Jenn Davis at Compass when I bought my condo in San Francisco. I chose Kirsten's company after interviewing several other recommended designers. All the decor is done by her. I didn't bring anything from my old house. I didn't live there for the duration of the project. Everything was in move in condition when I moved in. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully equipped. The budget was balanced expertly. I wanted a very modern, clean, gallery like interior with touches of eclecticism.  Each piece of furniture should stand out like a sculpture and compliment the views of the cityscape and San Francisco bay. I anticipated getting married soon and wanted an interior that wasn't overly masculine but had some feminine touches so Kirsten incorporated white to soften and inviting textures and shapes. I recommend Kirsten Pike Design wholeheartedly.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Thank you Shankar! Your condo is getting accolades across the board!!

**★★★★★ — Annie Flaig, April 2019**

> I hired Kirsten Pike Design, upon recommendation by the concierge at The Harrison, to completely design and furnish my 30th story apartment overlooking San Francisco as well as San Francisco Bay.  Kirsten was involved with every single, minute detail of the design and execution of her incredible vision for my home.  She has a perfect balance between being a collaborator and yet be completely in charge…taking all stress away from the property owner.  Earlier than mid project, I gave her carte blanche.  She knew what I wanted and I trusted her know how 100%: Impeccable taste and finesse...Brilliant even.  What a talent!  Early in the project, I moved in.  I travel a lot and we arranged for her to do the work when I was gone. Everything is now a cohesive whole so the living spaces, kitchen and bathrooms flow together.  Amongst so many things, she designed a stunning wall of decorative plaster and a bar that is as lovely as it is practical.  My space is a jewel box where nothing is left to coincide.  Also every delivery was overseen and the small practicalities that a homeowner doesn't want to deal with before, during and after a remodel.  When I wasn't pleased with my high end flower delivery service, Kirsten did it personally and once again blew my away. I am just sad that when I come home from my travels there isn’t a new “surprise” waiting for me, as the apartment is perfect!  I think any discerning person with high expectations will be very happy with Kirsten Pike Design.

**Comment from Kirsten Pike Design:**

> Annie,  I adore you! Thank you for this project! With your permission, I'm going to copy a text you send to me on October 29th, 2020 here during Covid, "Kirsten I love and can't thank God enough for bringing you into my life. I don't have a day during the last 8 months that I don't think about you and this home you have  created  for me. My mom, says it all the time, that she feels happy if I am going to be alone to be in this incredible cloud of beauty you have created."
