Sarah Kaplan Design is a full-service boutique interior design studio located in San Diego, California, specializing in residential renovations, interior design, and styling. Led by Sarah, the owner and principal designer, we are dedicated to infusing creativity and individuality into every project.

At SKD, we believe your home should be a true reflection of you and the people that live there. We craft each project to be uniquely yours, ensuring a personalized space you'll be proud to call home. While we primarily serve San Diego and the surrounding Southern California areas, we’re open to traveling for the right project!

We always recommend involving an interior designer right from the start of your renovation project. A designer is as crucial to the process as an architect or general contractor. Collaborating with your entire team from the beginning ensures a seamless and cohesive design throughout your home. At SKD, we understand the value of working with trusted tradespeople and maintain strong relationships with reliable contractors and subcontractors. We assist clients with a variety of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, collaborating with architects and builders, designing with beautiful fabrics, furniture, and accessories, and creating custom pieces tailored to your space. These elements require careful vision and planning to ensure a successful execution. To avoid potential headaches done the road, we highly recommend bringing a designer on board as soon as you start planning your project!
