Nash Design Group

Since setting up her Bay Area–based firm in 2011, designer Kendra Nash has earned a following throughout California for her colorful, collected style. Her eye for room-transforming details—wood inlay on a kitchen island, windows trimmed in intricate metalwork, the perfect piece of textured marble—along with her masterful mix of vintage and modern notes ensure every space she curates is imbued with verve and individuality. “We tailor each design to the client because it’s truly about them,” Nash says. But what really defines her firm’s aesthetic, she says, is a steadfast devotion to function. “It’s got to be practical as well as beautiful.”
