Welcome to The Interior Collective! Today, we’re thrilled to sit down with Sarah Solis, founder and principal designer of Sarah Solis Design Studio. Sarah has made a name for herself in the design world by embracing a refined, minimalist approach that still feels incredibly warm and full of depth. As many interiors today are leaning towards bold colors and layered patterns, Sarah has perfected a nuanced style rooted in quiet layers. She combines her backgrounds in fine art, architecture, and fashion to create spaces that are thoughtfully curated and timeless.
In this episode, we’ll dive into Sarah’s unique design philosophy—what she calls “the subtle art of restraint”—and explore how she creates livable, elegant spaces that feel both layered and minimal. Sarah will walk us through her design process, from selecting textures and materials to achieving that delicate balance between simplicity and richness. We’ll also discuss the structure of her design studio, the talented team members who bring her vision to life, and how she approaches pricing her services. And finally, Sarah will give us an inside look at her latest venture, Galerie Solis, a curated collection of original furniture, textiles, antiques, and art that embodies her signature approach to design.
This is a conversation about intentionality, craftsmanship, and the art of storytelling through design—I encourage you to take note and begin the practice of refinement in design.
