My goal is to develop functional and innovative designs for the home or business that support sustainability and inspire my clients, while reflecting their own style.
Every project has its challenges, which is where I work closely with architects and contractors to ensure the design intent for remodels and new construction projects. KW always looks for ways to simplify design without giving up quality. Whether she decides to go “raw”, “fresh”, “bold” or “minimal”, this design maven delivers the same result: a functional envelope where the clientele is left awe-inspired.

From start to finish, Kristianne (and her team) were incredible to work with! She spent the first few meetings getting to know us and how we live, which really helped to optimize the space and design for our family. She is incredibly professional, and has impeccable taste. Her team was always responsive to inquiries, and did a great job working within our budget.
Another understated thing: she has a great network of specialists - fabric, wood, doors, steel, furniture, cabinets, window treatments, etc. Combining her eye and taste with the craftsmanship of these trades people yields some amazing results, including any custom create pieces you may want for your space and your vision. We've lost count of the number of times we have gotten compliments on pieces that she either found or personally designed for us.
We used KW to help interior design and decorate the first ever home we owned. When we went to sell this home years later, it quickly became clear that her selections and finishin

KW used her strong vision to achieve a clean, cohesive, and modern feel in our coastal CA new build project. She demonstrated great instincts around when to take risks and when to take a more understated approach and she's highly passionate about her work. She frequently pushed my wife and I to get out of our comfort zones and brought us back in several times when we went a bit astray. Critically, she convinced us to re-stain the open beam ceiling of our living/dining/family area black, which was a huge leap of faith for us but was essential in pulling the project together and ended up looking amazing. KW has her finger on the pulse of CA modern and delivers a fantastic finished product. Also a pleasure to work with and both collaborative and flexible in her approach.

Kristi and Ashley at KW Designs are amazing designers and lovely people. I am on my second project with them and they nail it every time. They listen to my input and incorporate my good ideas and gently steer me away from my not-so-good ideas. Love this team! You will not be disappointed!

KW Designs is a fresh look at interior design. They come up with great solutions and have great suggestions, always. They can seamlessly combine beautiful aesthetic and functionality so your home works for you, and looks great. I was advised on a kitchen layout and her design is perfect for our home, I love my kitchen so much! Love the lights she picked out and all the advice along the way was so helpful!

We have had the opportunity to work with Kristy and Ashley on several flooring projects. We just finished one here in Solana Beach. They are able to narrow down the vast amount of choices and make great design decisions for their clients flooring needs. The finished homes always look amazing, cant wait to see everything come together on the Glencrest house.

We had a wonderful experience working with KW Designs, and in particular, with Kristianne and Ashley.
We are a fine art gallery located in Solana Beach, and we worked with KW Designs regarding the purchase of a piece of our fine art for one of Ashley's clients. The customer service was seamless.
Everyone at KW Designs was very professional, courteous, accommodating, and an overall pleasure to work with. We hope to collaborate with KW Designs again.

KW Designs has been doing projects for us ranging from multi-million dollar custom new construction homes to small elegant kitchen and bath remodels for many years. Their attention to detail and ability to bring fresh, young hip modern design to our projects and help guide our clients through construction and arrive at an elegant finished design is priceless. We highly recommend working with KW Designs for remodels and custom new homes in Coastal San DIego.

we were referred to them by our architect
We love working with KW designs and would recommend them to our clients. The examples of our interior choices, chairs to paint colors that were provided to us, were clear and concise, so it made our decision's pretty straight forward, but they always gave the "designers choice", which we went with 90% of the time. A big plus for us. They are very courteous, and the follow through was great. KW treated this office like it was theirs, good job KW.
