About

Who We Are

Aviva K Designs is a bold, full-scope, upscale interior design studio serving the San Francisco Bay Area. Guided by a love of color, character, and unexpected juxtaposition, we transform ordinary rooms into immersive, story-rich spaces that radiate personality and command curiosity, yet function as delightfully as imaginable.

Rooted in a highly personal, concept-to-completion process, our work blends creative intuition with strategic execution, designing homes that are joyfully livable, endlessly interesting, and playfully textured. We use no "design formulas." There is no copy-and-pasting. Just thoughtful, intentional spaces crafted around real people and the way they truly utilize spaces.

Bold. Colorful. Comfortable. Unapologetically you.
We want you to love where you live - a mission we strive to deliver on in every design and decor detail.
