We create spaces where a CLIENT’S life and work can thrive and evolve without being stuck in fleeting trends.

SARAH WALKER DESIGN STUDIO founded in 1997, is a full-service interior design firm that specializes in LARGE-SCALE HIGH-END residential remodels for clients in Santa Barbara and the Los Angeles area as well as New York and the Bahamas. 

The design studio’s projects are wide ranging in style and vernacular from a Julius Shulman photographed Mid Century Modern, a hacienda style ranch house, a classic Spanish Colonial, to a glass, steel, and concrete architectural contemporary with views of the Santa Barbara coast.

SWDS accepts a limited number of commissions each year to ensure that Sarah can be fully involved in the details of each and every project. With a strong emphasis on quality, longevity, and craftsmanship, Sarah and the team pride themselves on collaborating well with the various contractors and makers who help to realize SWDS designs. Sarah has a particular interest and expertise in art, vintage furniture, and collectibles that translates to an elevated offering in helping clients build their collections and incorporating them into their homes. Most of the firms’ projects are with long-term repeat clients designing their second and third homes as well as their workplaces; many of whom SWDS has been working with for decades.
