Kari McIntosh Design

A talented visual storyteller, designer Kari McIntosh works in an eclectic, contemporary vein that’s layered, warm and full of personality. “I’m always looking for the perfect mix of modern and classical elements in a room,” McIntosh says of her approach to mixing eras and styles to gorgeous effect. Known for its superbly curated spaces—elegant and restraint but never cold—the full-service firm turns heads consistently, especially for its expertise in transforming historic structures and heritage homes for modern living. Careful attention to scale, proportion, and space planning—a byproduct of McIntosh’s early background in architecture—is another point of distinction. 

Meanwhile, the firm continues bringing élan to each project with an equally stellar business mien informed by the years McIntosh spent as an executive at JP Morgan Chase before establishing her interiors practice in 2008. At her affiliated brick-and-mortar boutique, KMD Antiques & Design Atelier, tucked beneath the firm’s offices in Burlingame, Calif., fans can browse finds from recent buying trips and estate discoveries.
