Luxury Interior Design in Southern California
Restaurant, bar, boutique hotel, and residential design in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs.
A Place Worth Creating.
You have a vision for a place. We help give it form, from the first conversation about the building to the furniture, lighting, and art that make it yours.
Siren Betty Design is a national interior design studio with offices in San Diego, Palm Springs, and Chicago. We work with hospitality owners, developers, and homeowners who want to create something worth spending time in.
We welcome restaurant, bar, boutique hotel, and residential projects across Southern California. From new openings to substantial renovations, bring us in early to help shape what comes next.
A Little Intrigue. A Lot of Thought.
A room should give you something to notice. A painting you want to ask about. A beautiful piece of wood worn smooth with age. A corner that becomes your favorite place to sit.
We bring that curiosity to every project. Vintage finds sit alongside custom pieces. Art helps establish the mood. Materials are chosen for how they feel and how they will live.
Behind those choices is careful planning. We consider the building, the people using it, and the investment required to bring the design to life.
Hospitality Interiors With Something to Say
The best time to bring us in is while architectural plans are taking shape. We work alongside your architect to develop the interior layout and coordinate details that affect construction. Early collaboration gives everyone a shared direction before major decisions are set.
Restaurants
The food gives us a starting point. So do the people behind it.
We work with restaurant owners and their project teams to develop interiors around the culinary concept and service experience. The arrival, dining room, and bar need to belong to the same story. They also need to work through a busy evening.
We welcome conversations about new restaurant openings and substantial transformations of existing spaces across Southern California.
Boutique Hotels
A hotel gives us an entire stay to think about.
There is the first impression, the comfort of the guest room, and the place someone settles with coffee the next morning. We consider how these moments connect and what makes each property unique.
Our approach draws on the building and the owner’s vision. Historic properties offer their own starting points, with details worth carrying into a new chapter.
Cocktail Bars and Lounges
Some nights begin at the bar. Others never leave it.
We design spaces that invite both. The atmosphere comes from the relationship between light, materials, seating, and the people in the room. The working layout deserves equal attention.
From an intimate cocktail lounge to a bar at the center of a larger hospitality project, we develop the interior in conversation with the operator and broader project team.
Have a Project In Mind
We'd love to hear what you're working on.
A Personal Point of View
A home gives us a different kind of brief. How do you spend a quiet morning? What do you collect? What do you want to keep? How many people inevitably end up in the kitchen?
We design high-end residential interiors around those answers. Art, custom furnishings, and carefully sourced pieces bring personality to the rooms. Comfort guides the decisions you will live with every day.
For a substantial renovation or a new home taking shape with an architect, early collaboration gives the interiors room to develop alongside the building.

Full-Service Design, With a Clear Scope
From initial concept through final installation, we manage the details that bring a project together. Our services include space planning, interior architecture, material and finish selections, custom furnishings, art curation, procurement, and coordination with architects and contractors.
We tailor our involvement to each project's needs, whether it's a complete interior transformation or a more focused design scope.
Before We Begin
-
Start the conversation while the concept and property plans are taking shape. Early involvement lets us discuss the interior alongside architectural decisions. If you already have plans or a project underway, share the current stage so we can assess how to help.
-
Yes. Collaboration with architects and contractors is part of our approach. We discuss the team structure and each party’s responsibilities when defining the scope.
-
The scope depends on the project. It may include concept development, drawings, specifications, furnishings, art, purchasing, and installation coordination. Your proposal identifies the services included in your engagement.
-
Yes. Siren Betty Design works with clients nationwide. This page introduces our Southern California services within that broader practice.
-
Tell us the project location and type, approximate size, and what you hope to create. An estimated investment range and intended opening or completion date help us understand the assignment. Include existing plans or a property link if available.
-
A restaurant you are ready to open. A hotel ready for its next chapter. A home with possibilities you can already see.
Tell us about the property, your plans, and what matters most to you. Let’s begin there.
