Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors

Santa Barbara & Montecito Luxury Interior Designer

Santa Barbara — the American Riviera — and its neighboring enclave of Montecito together represent the most coveted residential destination in California for those who seek beauty, privacy, and distinction above all else. The Santa Ynez Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and a Mediterranean microclimate create a setting of extraordinary natural beauty that informs every design decision Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors makes in this market.

Kenneth Bordewick and Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors serve Santa Barbara and Montecito's most discerning ultra-luxury clients with the full depth of BHLI's design expertise. The Santa Barbara design vocabulary — Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, warm clay roof tiles, courtyard gardens, and the romance of the California Riviera — is one Kenneth Bordewick understands intimately and executes with genuine love.

The Santa Barbara UHNWI client is often more privately oriented than those in Beverly Hills or New York — choosing this area precisely for its low profile, extraordinary quality of life, and community of peers who share their values. Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors approaches Santa Barbara commissions with the discretion and personal attention these clients expect, while delivering design quality equal to any property on four continents.

From the grand Montecito compounds along East Valley Road to the oceanfront estates of Miramar Beach, Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors designs every dimension of the Santa Barbara ultra-luxury experience: interior design, architectural detailing, landscape integration, and the sourcing of rare materials that honor the California Riviera's extraordinary natural setting.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors design for Santa Barbara and Montecito?

Yes. Santa Barbara and Montecito are important markets for BHLI. Kenneth Bordewick has a particular affinity for the Santa Barbara aesthetic and regularly engages with clients in both Santa Barbara and Montecito. Our Beverly Hills headquarters is approximately 90 miles from Santa Barbara.

What architectural styles predominate in Santa Barbara?

Santa Barbara is strongly associated with Spanish Colonial Revival architecture — white plaster walls, red clay tile roofs, arched arcades, and courtyard gardens. This style was formalized after the 1925 earthquake and now defines the city's architectural character. Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors is expert in designing ultra-luxury interiors within this tradition.

How does Santa Barbara design differ from Montecito design?

Santa Barbara proper tends toward the urban and civic — beautiful Spanish Colonial buildings on a human scale. Montecito is the domain of the grand private estate — larger lots, more varied architecture, and a concentration of celebrity and UHNWI ownership that rivals Beverly Hills and Bel Air in prestige.

Has Kenneth Bordewick designed for Montecito clients?

Yes. Montecito is among Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors' most valued residential markets, with a concentration of ultra-high-net-worth clients who appreciate BHLI's commitment to discretion and design excellence. All client projects are handled with complete confidentiality.
