About Kari Whitman Interiors

Kari Whitman founded KWI - Kari Whitman Interiors – in 1994 as a full service design firm specializing in residential and commercial projects. Projects range from condominiums to estate homes, boutique hotels to large-scale residential developments. Selected as a member of the prestigious American Society for Interior Design (ASID), Kari has showcased many prominent projects in California, New York, Aspen and San Francisco, featuring a large celebrity client base, including Jessica Alba, Kristen Bell, Kurtwood Smith, Virginia Madsen, Don Johnson, Emilio Estevez and Don Henley. Kari also holds the accolade of having been selected as the designer for Park La Brea, a large development in the historic Miracle Mile district in Los Angeles.

    Traveling frequently throughout the world, Kari stays abreast of the newest styles, trends and ideas and to offer creative results that are both functional and beautiful. While her work ranges from Spanish, Moroccan, and Mediterranean to tres moderne, Kari has created a signature style by finding salvaged artifacts to add time and wisdom to the design of her projects. Her work has been prominently featured in Ultimate Decorating (2003), Homes by Design (2004), Dream Walls (2004) In Style Home (2005) and Homes of Hollywood Bachelors (2009) .

    Out of her commitment to personalized service, Kari directly oversees each project and works with her clients to achieve specific goals. Kari offers her clients assistance in all phases of design: selection and purchasing of furnishings, fabrics, and surfaces; remodeling and new construction from initial concept to contracting; project management; and, complete furnishing and final installation. Kari’s team includes several premier architects, engineers and contractors and key wholesale contacts in the textile, appliance and furnishings industries.

    A native of Colorado, Kari is also founder of Ace of Hearts, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from shelters and placing them in loving homes. Her work in this area has also led to innovative design for homeowners with pets.
