“Most of our lives are lived indoors. So inner space provides the frame for our day-to-day existence. Therefore, the spaces and objects we surround ourselves with should be more than just functional or serviceable. They should support us — fostering inspiration while communicating our values and speaking to our deeper aspirations: our hopes and dreams.

—Ian Saude

VISIT OUR SHOWROOM IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA

Located in the Design District area in San Luis Obispo since 2015, our showroom is a place to experience all that IAN SAUDE Interior Solutions has to offer in a single space. One of our major goals in creating the showroom was to bring more diverse, high-quality architectural resources to California’s Central Coast, and to make those same resources available to designers and builders, wherever they might be.

Therefore, this space is designed predominantly for the A&D and Building Community to source finishes and design elements and to gain inspiration. Come peruse our collections, catalogs and sample libraries to find just what you need to complete your next project.

Our studio is the perfect space for designers and builders to meet and find the finishes and other design elements to inspire young your clients.

The most successful projects start with a great team. A designer can have fantastic ideas, but the client and builder must also see their value. Designers must not only have the ability to convey their intention but also to assemble the right tradespeople, who care enough about their dream to help turn it into a reality. Our goal is to create a space to help make this happen.
