A room is more than walls, furniture, or light—it’s the feeling that ties everything together. And often, that feeling lives in the final surface: the paint on the wall, the stain on the wood, the finish on your fixtures. These finishing elements are where craftsmanship meets soul.

A home can be beautifully planned in structure, color, and furnishing—and yet feel unfinished. Luxury often lives in the details: the vase on the proofed console, the sculpture perched on a bookshelf, the tactile mix of throw pillows. At Kern & Co Designs, accessory selection isn’t about filling space; it’s about composing it. When chosen…

At Kern & Co Designs, we consider space planning the foundation of luxury living, where elegance emerges not from objects alone, but from the harmony between proportion, circulation, and intention.…

Window treatments are often the unsung heroes of interior design. They control natural light, offer privacy, soften harsh architecture, and introduce texture, color, and elegance. The right window coverings can elevate a space from incomplete to intentional, from basic to beautifully balanced. At Kern & Co., serving Solana Beach and surrounding areas, interior design, plan…
