Intimate Living Interiors is an award-winning interior design firm based in Solana Beach, CA. We transform spaces for optimal living through collaborative vision and thoughtful design. We are proud to work with an incredible list of local, national, and international clients. The spaces we live in have a profound effect on our well-being. Colors, textures, and materials are just some of the tangible elements that affect how we feel in our daily lives. But creating a truly inspiring environment goes beyond look and feel. It is essential to know how energy flows through every room, and how light interacts with every surface. We distil individual preferences, translate personal styles, and incorporate worldly fascinations to help each client realize their dream of living in a home that brings them deep joy and an inspired quality of life.
