Interiors
Interior and exterior design, furnishing, and procurement — rooms finished to the same standard as the structure around them.
A room is the last thing a project says. We make sure it says the right thing.
Interiors is where the studio's work becomes daily life — the counter your hand finds in the dark, the chair that holds an afternoon, the lamp that decides what evening feels like. We treat none of it as decoration. Interior and exterior design, furnishing, and procurement are carried with the same discipline we bring to land and structure.
Because SloIvy develops and builds its own projects, our interiors work starts early — while walls can still move and windows can still grow. Cabinet elevations are drawn alongside framing plans. Lighting is placed before drywall, not after. For clients who come to us for interiors alone, that same habit holds: we design from the building outward, not from a mood board inward.
The palette is the Central Coast's own — white oak, natural plaster, honed stone, linen, unlacquered brass left to age. Materials that improve with use, in rooms built to be used.
Scope of work
Inside and out- Full-home interiors
- Complete interior design for a residence — space planning, finish and material selection, millwork and lighting design, and furnishing through to the final object on the shelf. One coherent hand, from entry to last room.
- Kitchens & baths
- The rooms that carry the most decisions per square foot. Cabinetry design, stone and tile specification, plumbing and lighting fixture selection, and appliance planning — detailed to shop-drawing level and coordinated with the trades who build them.
- Exterior living & landscape design direction
- Terraces, courtyards, and outdoor rooms designed as continuations of the plan, not afterthoughts. Hardscape materials, exterior furnishing, and planting direction suited to a coastal climate — developed with landscape professionals where the work calls for them.
- FF&E procurement & trade sourcing
- Specification, purchasing, expediting, and installation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. We manage vendor relationships, orders, freight, receiving, and white-glove delivery — so a room arrives finished, not in boxes.
Designer of record, buyer of record.
On our projects, SloIvy acts as the designer of record for interiors: we specify and procure furnishings, fixtures, and materials on behalf of the project and its owner. That means we do the sourcing ourselves — direct trade accounts with makers, mills, workrooms, and showrooms rather than a chain of intermediaries.
Procurement here is a practice, not a checkout. Every specification is documented — dimensions, finish, lead time, and where it lands in the plan. Orders are tracked from deposit to delivery. Damaged freight is our problem, not the client's. Substitutions are approved, never slipped in.
The result is quieter than it sounds: rooms furnished with pieces chosen for the room, bought properly, and installed once.
Our trade programThe details carry the room.
Material studies
Where craft is measured daily.
A kitchen is judged every morning; a bath, twice a day. These rooms forgive nothing, which is why we detail them the hardest — reveal lines that align across cabinet runs, stone slabs sequenced before fabrication, hardware you choose once and never think about again.
We coordinate directly with the cabinetmakers, fabricators, and finish trades executing the work, on our own projects and on client commissions alike. Drawings answer questions before they become field decisions.
How we build
Vendors, makers, and showrooms.
Our procurement practice sources directly from the people who make things well. If you represent a line, a workroom, or a material we should know, our trade program is the front door.
