FR Review:
Undertaking a broad range of projects, all of which are grounded in smart design and mindful of healthy living, Sarah Barnard’s diverse body of work includes upscale private residences, chic restaurants, luxurious spas, and impressive corporate headquarters. Her projects have been featured in local and national publications, and have placed prominently in several noted design competitions. Her design practice is the culmination of education and interests in art, architecture, textiles, and the environment.

Barnard is currently working on commissions of private residences in the Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica Canyon, Brentwood, Los Feliz, and Palos Verdes Estates. Other recent projects include the corporate offices of National Geographic Entertainment in Beverly Hills, the headquarters of Life Rolls On, a subsidiary of the Christopher Reeve Foundation in Culver City, a backstage celebrity eco-lounge for both the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Teen Choice Awards and a sustainable penthouse on Ocean Avenue for an out of town couple with hyper meditative space requirements. Think total relaxation and harmony with the universe.

Barnard is certified by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and recognized by the International Institute for Bau-Biologie & Ecology as a Building Biology Practitioner (BBP). She has served on the Santa Monica Conservancy's board of directors and specializes in healthy interior design and historic preservation.

Representative Client Comments:
"Sarah Barnard and her team exceeded our expectations with their creativity and professionalism." "Very patient, very receptive, a great listener. Excellent follow through. She really understood our taste." "I found Sarah very professional, but approachable. She was extremely responsive to the overall effect I desired and made the process easy, fun and organized." "Sarah and her team worked diligently with us and our three teen children to develop designs that were beautiful, individualized, practical, in keeping with the overall style of the house, and within our budget." "She incorporated my all my hopes and dreams for this house and worked her magic." "Sarah challenged me creatively in a way that expanded my aesthetic." "She is a wizard at materials, especially those that are environment-friendly." "Sarah is a brilliant designer who effortlessly combined a contemporary aesthetic with an organic feel. We love the earthy edginess!" "I knew that my project was not going to transform overnight, but when it did it was clearly worth the wait." "We had trouble finding someone who seemed to have the passion for green design we were looking for. Sarah listened to us carefully and then explained to us how she thought we might proceed. She was describing exactly what we wanted, even though we had lacked the words." "Sarah was gracious in her ability to walk me through the completely unknown territory of interior design. Sarah was sincerely interested in understanding my personal style and vision for the home, and she was not going to give me a cookie cutter design from the latest magazine." "On the green front, she was very accommodating and made the process easy. I am very particular about the kind of products used in my home, and Sarah always found the best and most beautiful eco-friendly options to show me." "She has a sophisticated sense of style and her design work mirrors her good taste. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in the Los Angeles area that is looking for a notable interior designer."

Project Description & Comments:
You can’t do better than Sarah Barnard as your interior designer. I should know; I looked high & low before deciding to work with her. Sarah helped remodel my 1918 West Hollywood craftsman bungalow, a designated historic landmark, from a crack house (literally, this is East West Hollywood) into my dream house. She produced full, contractor-ready plans (plumbing, electric, etc.), specified fixtures and furniture, colors and materials. It was a two-year process, and I could not have survived it without her. The first thing is that she listens. She spent a lot of time getting to know who I was and what I wanted - and going way beyond my favorite drape colors. I felt that she understood me … which is good, because she wasn’t about mirroring my ideas back to me. She brings her own strong aesthetic to the table. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the easiest to work with - but Sarah challenged me creatively in a way that expanded my aesthetic. Sarah is honest and fair to a fault.
