Kirsten Pike Design -

Shankar M

Kirsten Pike Design was recommend to me by Jenn Davis at Compass when I bought my condo at The Harrison in San Francisco. I chose Kirsten's company after interviewing several other recommended designers.

All the decor is done by her. I didn't bring anything from my old house. I didn't live there for the duration of the project. Everything was in move in condition when I moved in. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully equipped. The budget was expertly balanced.

I wanted a very modern, clean, gallery like interior with touches of eclecticism. Each piece of furniture should stand out like a sculpture and compliment the views of the cityscape and San Francisco bay.

I anticipated getting married soon and wanted an interior that wasn't overly masculine but had some feminine touches so Kirsten incorporated white to soften and inviting textures and shapes. I recommend Kirsten Pike Design wholeheartedly.

Kirsten worked on every inch of the interior of our new townhouse in downtown Mill Valley and it has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. She is extremely responsive and easy to work with.

Kirsten has unique and innovative ideas and loves finding one-of-a-kind pieces for her clients. She is more than a designer – she is a true artist. She custom designed a 8' H x 5.5' W painting for us that would definitely have the admiration of all of Mill Valley and she designed 4 murals in our house, one of them nearly 20' tall.

Several pieces of furniture in our home are designed by her. In one room, every pieces of furniture including a bunkbed, desk and wood clad walls in intricate patterns are Kirsten's own design. We wanted a modern French feel to our home because of our affiliations there. Growing up in Europe and having travelled all over, Kirsten was the perfect designer to carry that out.

She orchestrated the coming and going of faux finishers, people who implemented her design for the front door, painters, carpenters, electricians, drape and roman shade installers, closet installers, wall paper hangers, installers and fabricators of her furniture designs, and all the dozens upon dozens of individual pieces from all over the world that she brought into our home and had delivered. She tailored the home to us. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

Kirsten Pike of Kirsten Pike Design designed our entire home that we had just purchased. We were not able to bring any of our previous furniture and accessories because we purchased a smaller home. Kirsten procured all new furnishings and accessories and reframed our art collection to make it work with the new, modern interior.

Kirsten not only captured the essence of the house and the modern but comfortable light feeling and palette that we wanted but she also captured the essence of us: How we live, what we like, how we see our lives and ourselves in this house. She took us on a journey in the world of design where she became our guide and teacher.

Our home is lovely, personable, and just beautiful. Her murals are one of our favorite highlights of the house ~ just fantastic. Finally, she arranged all workings for the house and deliveries etc. and it made it easy and fluent so that we could focus on our lives and work while everything concerning the house was taken care of. I recommend her highly ~ I only wish we had another home for her to furnish & design!!

We hired Kirsten Pike Design to do the interior design for our newly purchased 7,200 square foot home. We did not bring furniture or any decor from our previous home. We decided to hire Kirsten because we knew we wanted the design of our home to be unique. When we started the project, we did not know what style our home was going to be, and we began exploring this with Kirsten. Kirsten did all of the indoor and outdoor furnishings as well as every aspect of the overall decor and remodeling, including her unique design of a new fireplace for our living room. She curated sculptures, sourced light fixtures and designed a wall mural in our dining room and custom wall paneling for our theater room. We love the end result of our one of a kind home. It is a home that portrays our interests and our individual tastes. Kirsten Pike Design led us through a process of design that started with an empty house and that concluded with a beautiful fully furnished home that we love to walk into and spend time in with our family!

Kirsten Pike did a top-notch job on our residence in addition to designing dreamy outdoor spaces across multiple terraces and our backyard. Kirsten designed the full interior of our home and produced a beautiful result that we now get to enjoy every day. We really appreciated Kirsten's flexibility to work around our busy schedules and how she prioritized personalized, face-to-face coordination. She curated all the art and executed all 4 floors with furnishings and decor to create a seamless oasis for our family. She has a very keen eye for design and attention to detail. The feel of our home is modern, playful, sophisticated, inviting and livable, like we had asked for. We're very pleased with Kirsten and her team, the end result, and have enjoyed sharing our new space with family and friends. Thank you KPD!

I hired Kirsten Pike Design, upon recommendation by the concierge at The Harrison, to completely design and furnish my 30th story condo overlooking San Francisco as well as San Francisco Bay.

Kirsten was involved with every single, minute detail of the design and execution of her incredible vision for my home. She has a perfect balance between being a collaborator and yet be completely in charge...taking all stress away from the property owner. Earlier than mid project, I gave her carte blanche. She knew what I wanted and I trusted her know how 100%:

Impeccable taste and finesse...Brilliant even. What a talent! Early in the project, I moved in. I travel a lot and we arranged for her to do the work when I was gone. Everything is now a cohesive whole so the living spaces, kitchen and bathrooms flow together. Amongst so many things, she designed a stunning wall of decorative plaster and a bar that is as lovely as it is practical. My space is a jewel box where nothing is left to coincidence.

Also every delivery was overseen and the small practicalities that a homeowner doesn't want to deal with before, during and after a remodel. When I wasn't pleased with my high end flower delivery service, Kirsten did it personally and once again blew me away. I am just sad that when I come home from my travels there isn’t a new “surprise” waiting for me, as the apartment is perfect!

I think any discerning person with high expectations will be very happy with Kirsten Pike Design.
