Los Gatos, CA Interior Designer
Timeless design. Natural materials. An expertly guided process you'll actually enjoy.
Design Rooted in Los Gatos' Character
Priyanka Design Co. is a San Jose-based interior design firm serving Los Gatos, California. We deliver full-service design, remodeling, and furnishing — guiding homes from concept through completion with a focus on natural materials and timeless craftsmanship.
Los Gatos homes carry real architectural history — Spanish Revival and Craftsman character downtown, hillside homes that open up to the foothills, and a town that's protective of its charm even as it grows. Design here works best when it respects what's already there rather than fighting it. We approach every Los Gatos renovation the way the town seems to want it handled — honoring a home's original character rather than overriding it, with finishes that feel like they belong, not like they were dropped in from a catalog.
LET US GUIDE YOU IN CREATING A CURATED HOME
A few things Los Gatos clients often come to us for:
Renovating a historic downtown property while preserving its original character
Furnishing a hillside or foothill home with materials that feel like they belong
Kitchen and bath remodels that respect a home's existing architecture
Concept development and space planning
Finish and lighting selections
A PROCESS THAT FITS THE HOME YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
Los Gatos covers real range — a historic downtown property with preservation considerations, a hillside home built more recently, or something in between. We coordinate with your architect and contractor from the earliest planning stages, adapting the process to what your specific property needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Clear timelines and regular updates keep you informed no matter which end of that range your project falls on.
Concept development and space planning
Procurement
White-glove installation
Art curation
Interior styling
Coordination tailored to your property's age and structure
WHY LOS GATOS HOMEOWNERS WORK WITH US
No one-size-fits-all approach — a historic downtown property and a newer hillside build get planned differently, on purpose.
Vendors who adapt to the property — sourcing and installation partners comfortable with both older and newer construction.
A finished home, not a renovation project — you experience the reveal, not the logistics.
RECENT SPANISH REVIVAL PROJECT
Located within a 100-year-old Spanish Revival home in Alameda, California—a community known for its rich collection of historic Spanish-style architecture—this primary bathroom renovation was designed to carefully balance respect for the home’s original character with modern livability.

Start with the total project, not the designer — and think in four buckets: the designer's fee, finishes, furnishings, and construction. Designers generally charge flat fees, hourly rates, or a percentage of the budget. Finishes — tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, countertops, hardware — are the materials installed in your home. Furnishings are a separate budget you approve, and construction labor goes to your contractor. The design fee buys you a plan and someone managing dozens of decisions and deliveries. Most Los Gatos homeowners doing a whole home or major remodel invest six figures in the project overall; smaller scopes cost much less.
-
Absolutely — and the historic homes near downtown Los Gatos deserve that care. Keep the architectural details that make the house special (trim, windows, proportions), and let kitchens, baths, and systems be where modern life happens. A good designer knows which walls to respect and which can go.
-
Hillside homes are about the view and the light. Orient seating and key rooms toward the outlook, use glazing and low-profile furnishings that don't block sightlines, and choose materials that handle strong sun. Outdoor connections — decks, courtyards — should feel like extra rooms, not afterthoughts.
-
Yes — that's how the best projects run. The designer handles the interiors (layouts, finishes, furnishings, lighting), the architect handles structure, and the builder executes. When all three are at the table early, you avoid the classic problem of a beautiful plan that's painful to build.
-
For a full project, reach out 2–3 months before you want design work to begin — good designers book out, and the design phase itself takes weeks before ordering starts. If you're mid-remodel and need help fast, many designers offer consultations that put expert eyes on your project within days — ask about it when you inquire.
