Santa Barbara Interior Design Studio and Furniture Showroom

Colleen at Santa Barbara Interiors is simply amazing. Our home looks beautiful. The kids and I just keep saying, “wow,” and “I love this.” I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all that you have done. It’s really gorgeous. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And to come in with the beautifully decorated tree was the icing on the cake. The ornaments and tree are perfect. Thank you to all the elves that made our house a home. So excited!!!

I absolutely love working with Colleen. After my recent move I got some woven shades from her that totally transformed the space. She also helped me with color and flow. Colleen really knows her stuff and she is a delight to work with. I felt like she really listened to my needs, assessed the space and guided me in making design decisions that rocked my new house. And she made me laugh too! It was a great experience all the way around.

Thank you for everything, Colleen. We are so thrilled and so impressed with how much you’ve done in a short time period and are so excited to continue working with you! And, we can’t thank you enough for making our house feel so Christmas-y for this holiday. It was a hard fall for us and coming here has been such a wonderful retreat, and we know how hard you worked to create the Christmas magic. Our heartfelt thanks.

After downsizing to my new Santa Barbara home, Colleen Macey was able to design a cohesive look using my favorite pieces and art. The new pieces she sourced for me work remarkedly well with my cherised decades-old furnishings. She understood my style and worked with me to update it while keeping it comfortable and familiar. It was a pleasure and even fun working with Colleen!

My husband and I just finished up an extensive renovation of our kitchen and bathrooms. Colleen worked on the design and Tom worked on the implementation. The store has a great selection of cabinetry, window coverings, counter top samples, etc. I really appreciated the absolute attention to detail that they provided. The design service is truly great and there are a large variety of furniture selections as well as accessories. I'm not a big fan of renovating--- can really be a huge bother, but I must say they were an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way.

Our experiences with Colleen and her skilled team at SB Cabinet Company have been creatively inspiring. We have often enjoyed perusing her vast and organized resource library in her welcoming and beautiful showroom-and have recently benefitted from her professional guidance and unique design options for our recent home/kitchen remodel. Colleen is a conscientious and talented designer and window covering expert- with an incredible talent for discovering unusual furnishings and high quality fabrics at reasonable prices.

Colleen Macey’s design sensibility is both innovative and inspiring. From the first consultation, she was effortlessly able to draw upon my own visions and personality to create a space that was both fashionable and functional. She is colorful, creative, able to create purpose for unconventional spaces, and extremely easy to understand and work with.

I had heard about Colleen’s reputation as an expert in color. Since I had been unable to select satisfying interior wall colors for my home, I called her. Within 30 minutes of seeing the project site, Colleen had three fabulous custom colors selected. My home has never looked better!

One of the best decisions I ever made was to retain Colleen Macey, owner of Santa Barbara Interiors. Her design expertise and practical knowledge carried me through a 6-month remodel challenge. She was able to work within my budget and limited scope of remodel, offering decor solutions and resources, which alone, I could have not achieved. She is a pleasure to work with, always listening and following through.

I have worked with other designers over the past 30 years, but none have been able to interpret “my look” as Colleen has. She understands we all have items we love living with and she is able to incorporate them into a cohesive design. In my case, the art and objects I have spent a lifetime accumulating through my travels, became as important to her as they are to me. The result is a beautifully and elegantly furnished home, comfortable and stylish.
