INTERIOR DESIGNER | SAN LUIS OBISPO + BEYOND
CENTRAL COAST RENOVATIONS THAT LOOK LIKE A DREAM AND LIVE LIKE REAL LIFE
Built around the way you fold laundry, host dinner parties, and lose your keys.
THE CONTRACTOR'S ASKING QUESTIONS YOU NEVER THOUGHT TO THINK ABOUT
And suddenly, a renovation you were so excited about feels like homework you can't finish.
The cabinet depth that affects your countertop overhang. The island placement that determines whether two people can cook without bumping into each other every thirty seconds. You know…the little decisions that make the difference between a space that looks nice and one that feels like home.
(Hi, that's literally our job.)

OH HEY, THAT'S ME
THE SAN LUIS OBISPO INTERIOR DESIGNER WHO DESIGNS FOR THE CHAOS, NOT JUST THE CALM
Hi, I’m Taylor.
I’m the cabinetry-obsessed, cappuccino-fueled founder and lead designer at SALT Design Co. I'm also a mom of two, which means I know your home doesn't get to be precious. It has to handle the backpacks, the homework, the dog, and the "we're having twelve people for dinner" text you just got. Every space I design has to work for all of it, because mine does too.

PERSONALIZED CENTRAL COAST RENOVATIONS
WE DON’T HAVE A SIGNATURE LOOK. WE HAVE A WAY OF FINDING YOURS.
One of our favorite projects started with a client who inherited his grandparents' home. His memories of that house were full of bright, vibrant color, and he didn't want to sand that down into something neutral and safe. We kept that energy. The result looked nothing like what you'd find in a design magazine, and it was completely, perfectly his. That's the goal every time.
Do you host Thanksgiving? Does anyone do homework at the island? Is there a dog? Where does everyone end up at a party?
We ask the questions most designers never think to. Because a space that's truly yours starts with understanding how you actually live in it.
The same goes for your cabinets. Built for your exact space, not the generic version of it.
Most designers source from standard lines and work around the limitations. SALT builds fully custom cabinetry around your exact dimensions, your storage needs, and the way you use your space day to day. And when your project extends beyond the kitchen or bathroom, the same thinking applies to every room we touch.
