Our Story

Meet Katie + Olivia

Katie and Olivia, founders of Hearth Homes Interiors

2017 was a big year for Katie and Olivia. They became sisters-in-law when Katie married Olivia’s brother, and work wives when they founded Hearth Homes Interiors together.

Hearth Homes Interiors is a full-service interior design firm based in Santa Barbara, specializing in high-end residential remodels, ground-up builds, and full-home furnishings. While we work on all types of homes, our passion lies in reimagining older ones, homes with quirks, charm, and stories to tell.

In 2023, Katie and Olivia also co-founded Hearth Hospitality Group, focused on the design and management of boutique hospitality properties. Their work has been featured in Sunset Magazine, Modern Luxury, RUE Magazine, and Santa Barbara Magazine, and one of their projects was named among the Best Hotels in Santa Barbara in the 2024 Sunset Magazine Travel Awards.

We believe great design starts with great relationships. When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a team, you’re gaining collaborators who care deeply about your story, your home, and the life you want to live in it.

“Olivia and Katie are fantastic! Their sense of style and help with arranging rooms is second to none. They also had some great ideas for adding special pieces to my home at all budget levels. My living room was awkward with no real center of attraction, but Olivia moved my furniture around so that it worked. The backsplash tiles they recommended when I remodeled my kitchen are always being complemented!”
