Jen Crowley

Kari and her team at Intimate Living Interiors were very professional and creative in the interior design of our new home. They help with everything from picking out our tile, marble, and wood floors to our new furniture and accessories. We live our new house and it feels like “home”! We highly recommend ILI!

Kari and her entire staff are absolutely the best. Their design approach made us feel part of the process and our opinion was welcomed. The ideas that Kari has are entirely different than any other designer we have worked with. I highly recommend them.

P.S. Platinum Properties

It takes a solid team of professionals to navigate through the process of designing a homes interior. Kari and her team are the best in class. They listened, absorbed how we live, and gave options for us to make our home exactly what we dreamed it to be. Their talent shines through our home daily, and we cannot thank them enough for making the process and end result something we will cherish for years to come. We consider them Family.

Beyond grateful for these words. Working with you and Christie and the team was truly a dream come true. Our family has definitely grown leaps and bounds. So much love!

The Drapery Shop

We have worked in collaboration with Intimate Living for 5+ years. They are always professional and we would definitely recommend their services to other clients in the greater San Diego market.

Kari and her team had their hands all over our house in San Diego. They built and installed a new kitchen island; re-did all our surfaces, backsplash, sinks, etc.; installed two new french doors; picked out and installed new tiling in kitchen and bathrooms; did a re-haul of a powder bathroom, including new wallpaper, floor tiles, mirrors, lighting; turned our garage into a playroom/office; picked the colors for literally every wall in the house; added built-ins to our dining and media rooms; refaced fireplaces; and cultivated a ton of furniture and accessories. They made our so-so home our dream place to live, and all on a tight budget!

We feel fortunate to have been involved with Kari and her excellent design team over the last several years, installing tile and slab on several of their projects. It's always a great pleasure to see the amazing outcome from each one of their well thought-out, comprehensive and beautiful designs. I have been in the trade for over 25 years and have personally worked alongside ILI's team of professional tradesman and can tell you without a doubt that their skill, experience and finished quality is among the best in the industry.

Thank you Mallory for the allowing us to be a part of your vision. We are blessed to work with you, Donald and the boys on the La Jolla home and feel extraordinarily fortunate to now be a part of your East Coast project! We are the most lucky!

Kari and her team at ILI are fantastic! They listened to our ideas and needs, presented their suggestions, and helped translate those into an expression of a wonderful living space. Kari is truly a gifted, world-class designer. We consistently get spontaneous feedback from guests saying how beautiful, joyful and peaceful our home is. We're definitely using her on our future homes!

Our experience working with your family on your home was such a blessing. It is a magical thing when our clients appreciate the process of design and are willing to learn for themselves the myriad of ways your homes interior can support your largest of ambitions. Thank you for allowing us to show you just how healthy conscious design is for you, and thank you for your continued support.

Kari is great she has an amazing eye and did a phenomenal job on our beach house. I recently purchased a new home and the very first thing I am doing is bringing Kari in to make it our own!

Comment from Intimate Living Interiors:

Twice gifted by your projects!!! Working with you and Kim on your home(s) is why I LOVE what I do. Our team is supremely inspired by your project. My creative juices are at an all time hight when I get to work with you guys. And thank you for being such amazing people.

ILI is currently renovating our dining room for us. Kari's eye for interesting details keeps us returning to ILI for design, sourcing, and project completion. Since a formal dining room would get little use in our home, Kari has created a sitting room/game area easily converted to a formal dining room for the handful of times a year we need one. Given we have been redoing rooms for over 3 years, one of the best talents from the ILI team has been being able to unify the overall look of the house.

Comment from Intimate Living Interiors:

Working with you guys over that past 3 years has truly been a treat. I love the well rounded interests and hobbies you have collectively as a family. Being able to design a space that fosters these interests has been a challenge we meet willingly and happily. Thank you for trusting us to bring it all together. My only concern is that we have almost completed the entire house! What will we do next?

christie861

It is a wonderfully talented, efficient, organized design group that is a delight to work with. We are so excited to move into our new home designed by ILI!

Comment from Intimate Living Interiors:

I can't say enough about how transformative your project has been to our firm. It is a treat to be partnered up with clients that have a true skill and passion for good design. Thank you for allowing us to demonstrate our design sensibilities through the design of your new home.We received much more than a good design experience, we made good friends...we are forever grateful.

ILI is starting their 2nd project for us. We are now doing our kitchen and dining room along with some additional details we did not do last year. We could not be happier with the professionalism and expertise they bring to their projects. From design to build, they are on top of all the details, leaving us the time we need to handle our business. Knowing that Kari, Jenn and Jared are handling the details makes the remodeling process much less stressful. Their contractors are of the highest quality. They are courteous, do amazing work and are respectful of our home. I feel very confident giving them the highest recommendation.
