Clients including Jessica Alba, Kristen Bell, Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, Don Johnson, Virginia Madsen, Emilio Estevez, and Don Henley have flocked to her high-end interior design firm for her trademark eclectic style, and knowledge of eco-friendly design and pet-friendly design. Kari founded KWI – Kari Whitman Interiors – in 1994 as a full-service firm specializing in high-end residential interior design. Kari’s expertise also extends into commercial interior design, and projects range from condominiums to estate homes, boutique hotels to large-scale residential developments. An Allied Member of the prestigious American Society for Interior Design (ASID), Kari has showcased prominent, high-end interior design projects throughout California, New York, Aspen, Miami, and Dallas.

Bold, sophisticated, great style & originality. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — JJ, Feb. 2016** > Incredibly versatile interior designer focusing primarily on residential but also commercial spaces. Extremely cost efficient, obtaining a minimum of 3 bids for any sub-contracted projects. Mostly known for her celebrity clientele, Kari invokes a spirit of fun and playfulness while still maintaining the elegance commonly expected in a high end space. Kari also has an unparalleled love for dogs and is active in the dog rescue community in Los Angeles. I worked with Kari on the interior redesign of Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas' New York City Apartment. Kari was given quite of bit of creative freedom and managed to execute a wonderful transition from a 50s art deco Barbara Berry vibe into chic modern eclectic. Kari has a home in Boulder, CO as well as Los Angeles and frequently incorporates the down to earth mountain side of her character into her work. She is generally able to work within any budget but focuses primarily on higher end jobs. ## Selected projects - [Mulholland Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mulholland-home-pj-vj~258286) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [700 Pearl](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/700-pearl-pj-vj~5610084) - Location: Boulder, CO - Photos: 28 - [Marlay Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marlay-drive-pj-vj~5610151) - Location: West Hollywood, CA - Photos: 22 - [Antonio Banderas NYC Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/antonio-banderas-nyc-home-pj-vj~5610294) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - [Dallas Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dallas-estate-pj-vj~258274) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Jessica Alba's Beverly Hills Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jessica-alba-s-beverly-hills-estate-pj-vj~420825) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Colorado Mountain Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorado-mountain-home-pj-vj~358693) - Location: Boulder, CO - Photos: 13 - [Tiny Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tiny-home-pj-vj~5610258) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 7 - [DTLA Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dtla-loft-pj-vj~5610273) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 6 - [Doctors ABC Show](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/doctors-abc-show-pj-vj~5610304) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Emilio Estevez Spanish Malibu Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/emilio-estevez-spanish-malibu-home-pj-vj~5610328) - Location: Malibu, CA - Photos: 2 - [Kurtwood Smith Spanish Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kurtwood-smith-spanish-revival-pj-vj~5610341) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Larrabee LA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/larrabee-la-pj-vj~5610348) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 5 - [Soho Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/soho-penthouse-pj-vj~421619) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Magazine Catalogs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/magazine-catalogs-pj-vj~5610180) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Magazine catalog covers Kari Whitman Interiors was featured outside and inside of.
