Village West Design
With locations in both the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City, we have built a solid reputation for our specialized approach: interior design informed by an architect's eye. Savvy homeowners know that getting a talented designer with an architecture background is not enough. That's why our clients look for more: integrity, candor, communication.

They depend on us to discover and articulate their own unique tastes. We know it's ultimately not about us, so we design spaces that reflect who you are--and even who you want to be. Upon completion, we are content to fade into the background and admire our success in creating "your home, your style."

Both the process and the outcome of the renovation exceeded my expectations. Over the years I have worked with several excellent designers. The experience with Daniel, however, was the best. I felt we were partners in this project. He understood what I wanted and in fact often anticipated it. The process was as seamless as such a renovation could be.

It takes a village! Our extended team spans several continents; however, everyone in our core group remains in close contact to ensure perfect organization for all work. A bit of a film buff and a great vegetarian cook, Daniel also likes more active hiking, running, sailing, dancing, and volleyball.
Always attentive and respectful, Daniel's creative approach is centered on the individual client, not some cookie-cutter solution. A collaborative process is key to his core philosophy, and he firmly believes that everyone can enjoy a comfortable, well-designed home customized just for them. A tireless globetrotter who has lived in Europe and Asia, Daniel searches far and wide for inspiration to infuse into the next project.
How do we get started? First, we set up an initial assessment to define the scope of work, schedule, and budget, and to see if we are a good fit. If we decide to take on your project, we spend time getting to know you, your taste, the project parameters, and the project space. How long will the project take?

I hired Daniel and his team to consult with me on how to style my stairs and upstairs hallway in my Victorian farmhouse. The space is dramatic but very awkward due to every wall being a different height! Daniel gave me great advice on how to decorate the space without making it too busy or take away from the dramatic windows. I have just enough interior design training to be dangerous, but I was really stuck on what to do with this space. Daniel taught me how to look at it differently and how to think about the concept of "rhythm" in a way that I had not ever grasped before. His advice was super

Daniel and team are thoughtful, resourceful and a total pleasure to work with. We undertook a full design and upgrade of an apartment that was purchased remotely during the pandemic. They executed a dream home for us with sensitivity to our tastes and lifestyle during the most difficult of years. They are the best.

I'm a remodeling contractor who recently had the pleasure to work with Village West for the first time. From the beginning to the end of the project they were a pleasure to work with. Their level of communication and being in top of the details of a project they managed was really something else. They made my work easy. And the client we whose home we worked on couldn't say enough good about them. I would definitely jump at the opportunity to work with them in the future.

It's magic to work with VWD. With just a few insights, Daniel changed the whole mood of my space and suggested wonderful upgrades that were not very expensive but make the rooms enticing to walk into.

The team at Village West Design was fantastic to work with during my apartment renovation. They quickly understood and supported my own design style while also showing me amazing options that I previously never would have considered. After living in my apartment for several months post reno, I am extremely pleased with the results and can't wait to have them tackle phase 2!

Daniel was a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful in assisting us with color selections for our whole house. He was quite patient and has helped us to come up with a cohesive color palette for each room. I would highly recommend him for any of your decorating advice.

Village West Design helped me develop and choose a color palette for my newly renovated apartment in San Francisco. The building was built in 1896. I wanted to honor the Victorian era roots blended with my modern tastes. Village West took this all into account through a very interactive exchange taking into account the architecture, my desire to push my boundaries, and my modern tastes. They provided a detailed paint schedule I could hand to the painters. The results speak for themselves.
