About Us

Kristin Lam Interiors is an Interior Design firm specializing in kitchen and bath remodeling. Kristin has been creating beautiful interiors on both the east coast and west coast for over 30 years.

Her forte is to incorporate client’s surroundings and personal style into each and every design. Each home is unique to that specific client. "I keep my eyes and ears open for cues from my clients, both spoken and unspoken, that help me to facilitate a home that is perfect for that particular client. Each home is a reflection of their unique personal style. Walking through their home is like a good novel unfolding page after page." After graduating Bauder College in 1981, Kristin began her interior design career in Miami, Florida at David & Dash and then Plummer Interiors. After moving to Atlanta, Georgia to raise her family, she opened Eclectic Interiors. In 2000, she moved to San Diego to open Kristin's Eclectic Interiors where she continues her success as owner of Kristin Lam Interiors. Kristin continues her education immersing herself in other cultures. Research thus far includes trips to Italy, England, French Polynesia, Bali, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Turkey. This allows her to bring unique design elements, some seldom seen in our culture, to her clients. “Many of my clients are surprised at the number of moving parts that must come together in just the right order so the project is complete on time and within budget. Managing time, people and materials—all the while focusing on my client’s design goals—is my expertise." Whether whole house design or a kitchen or bathroom remodel, Kristin is experienced to make the client’s house feel like home.

Jackie LaFever

Kristin is one of the best Interior Designers I've ever worked with. She is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and very down to earth. She has a keen sense for design and listens to the clients wishes and incorporates her ideas with the clients. She was able to point us in the right direction for stores in our area that we can preview tiles, wood, cabinets, faucets, etc. She literally turned my master bathroom into the look of a "four seasons hotel." She also re-did our entire kitchen! The finishing touches throughout the house are spectacular! She is extremely easy to work with and I would highly recommend Kristin!

Comment from Kristin Lam Interiors:

Thank you for such a great recommendation! You and Mike made it easy. You are the perfect clients. I really enjoyed every minute of it that I feel guilty calling it "work"

Marta Baker

My husband and I had the amazing experience of working with Kristin during a year long remodel. She does an excellent job of listening to clients needs and tastes while offering her designer expertise. Kristin has excellent connections yet she was always willing to look at other options. Her prices were very reasonable. We were never "nickel and dimed" for services. We have been living in our house for a year now and I am continually grateful for her design expertise. I recommend Kristin highly. She would be my first choice if we go through this process in the future.

Comment from Kristin Lam Interiors:

Thank you for the compliment! I REALLY enjoyed working with you and Chris. It was a team effort. You both made my job so easy and fun. Your house is gorgeous. I hope to set up a time to photograph it. It is long overdue!

Marta Baker

I worked with Kristin for over a year on a complete home remodel project. Kristin is very responsive, honest, professional, and reliable. Not only did she work great with me, she worked very seamlessly with our general contractor. While there are always issues with large remodel projects, Kristin always took accountability to ensure they were addressed by all involved parties.

Comment from Kristin Lam Interiors:

Thank you for such a nice review Marta! You and Chris were great clients who are so easy to work with. You make my job a pleasure!

DB Designs

It was such a pleasure to work with Kristin on 2 whole house projects. Kristin's design knowledge and proffessionalism is outstanding. Her commitment to the project was never ending. I can hardly wait to work with her again. Thanks Kristin!

I can't thank Kristin enough! We embarked over a year ago on a major "down-to-studs" remodel. We knew we'd need help top-to-bottom to make this effort truly reflect our hopes for our dream home, but we had never worked with a designer before. We found Kristin through Houzz after one of her kitchen designs became a favorite in my first IdeaBook. We planned on interviewing a few people, but once we met with Kristin, we knew we had the right person. In addition to her work, we loved her approach and demeanor - that perfect mix of confidence, quality and professionalism with a relaxed, fun, and approachable personality. Piece by piece, Kristin guided us through decisions, both the big and mundane, that all came together beautifully. So many examples -- the island lights that started it all, the tile choices that were truly inspired, the painstaking efforts on the kitchen cabinet color to assure the right tone, the paint colors that tied the whole house together, working with my two daughters to help them find their "voice" in their rooms in a way they will continue to love for years…the list goes on. Kristin worked great with our amazing builder…I think they are even going to continue their working relationship on a future job! She coordinated vendors, deliveries and installations without a hitch. I really appreciated how these behind-the-scenes efforts helped keep things on track. The end result: Priceless! Kristin was able to help us articulate our style better than we ever could have understood it ourselves. Our house has gotten rave reviews -- everyone notices the quality choices everywhere and appreciates its understated warmth mixed with contemporary leanings. We absolutely LOVE it! There is no way we could have achieved this without her! Kristin has been instrumental in making our home one we will love forever.

We are a General Contractor and Real Estate Developer company. We have had the privilege to work with Kristin Lam Interiors on a custom single family home for a wonderful client. Kristin Lam Interiors brought extraordinary design concepts to the table coupled with thinking outside the box. Everyone was extremely happy with the final product created by this designer. Additionally, Ms. Lam is experienced, knowledgeable about construction protocol and provided excellent service. We intend to hire Kristin Lam Interiors for future speculative developments.

Kristen was instrumental in giving our beach house a clean modern look. It required a kitchen face lift as well as new furniture and built-ins throughout the main living area. She had a great vision from the beginning on how to obtain an up to date, yet timeless, look. Kristen is a great listener and ensures the finished project is consistent with the owners vision. She provided excellent guidance on color and fabric selections, and her design ideas maximized our storage and organizational needs in a small footprint. We couldn't be happier with how our project turned out.

Comment from Kristin Lam Interiors:

Thank you Leslie! You and Warren are dream clients. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you.

I don't know how I would have even found Kristin Lam if it wasn't for Houzz but I'm so glad I did. I hired Kristin to design my dream kitchen. I know Kristin often works on projects by overseeing the entire design and building process but I was hoping to save money by managing the project myself. I took all the great advice from Houzz and other remodeling sites and had an expert design our project which is why I think it went so smoothly and came out so beautifully! Before we started the project, my husband and I a rough idea of the plan - move everything and create a modern, Japanese-influenced design but we needed Kristin's expertise and vision to put the plan down on paper. She really paid attention to our needs and wishes and she has a lovely design aesthetic. She designed a very original, beautiful full-wall tansu style cabinet that has given us so much more storage. I always wanted a tansu but never knew how I could given our small space. Having Houzz ideabooks helped me organize the features and details I was looking for. She returned halfway through the project to help me pick finishes and colors and I was so grateful for her input. I have to say that I was very lucky to have found Kristin and know my kitchen would not have turned out half as special without her design influences. It's a completely original design - like having artwork from a master. We'll post better photos on Houzz soon!

Kristen helped me with some design in my home and diesigned many aspects of my brother's amazing remodel in La Jolla. She has a true gift. She doesn't just think of the regular cool tips but goes beyond, An example of this is a bathroom where the tile behind the sink goes from floor to ceiling The minute people walk in there they all comment on how amazing it looks. I also really respect Kristen becasue she is mindful of working with your financial parameters. She is truly a gifted professional.

We hired Kristin Lam Interiors based off of reviews on houzz. We greatly enjoyed working alongside her. She brought her vast expertise and experience into designing our 3500 square foot high end modern home. Kristin values input from clients and works closely with their style and desires. We highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking to use an interior designer. She adds that professional touch to your projects that make all the difference in show!

Kristen Lam redid our bathroom (in earlier year she redid our kitchen). Great sense of taste and balance. Colors and tile was perfect.

Installations Etc.

I first met Kristin several years ago when she called and asked about installing some window treatments in a beach house she was working on. She was extremely pleasant to work with and most interested to determine an installers perspective on how the treatments she intended to use would work. She provided me with the details of what she and the client wanted and then in several weeks we met again for the installation. Kristin was a delight to work with and she has been a wonderful client for many years. She is most thoughtful and determined to provide the ultimate design experience for her clients. A pleasure to work with!
