Interior Design in Santa Rosa, Where AVCO Design Began

AVCO Design is a full-service interior design studio based in Sebastopol, fifteen minutes from downtown Santa Rosa. We design residential remodels, renovations, and new builds, along with select commercial spaces. Our studio leads design, purchasing, and construction coordination as one integrated process.

Santa Rosa is where our studio started. We founded AVCO in 2017 to help neighbors rebuild after the Tubbs Fire, and much of how we work today came from those rebuilds: clear decisions made early, every purchase tracked, and one accountable team from drawings through installation.

A City of Very Different Homes

Santa Rosa doesn't have one look. A 1920s bungalow in Proctor Terrace and a mansion in the McDonald Avenue historic district ask for something different than a rebuilt home in Fountaingrove, a ranch house in Bennett Valley, or a right-sized home in Oakmont.

What they share is the practical side: permits and inspections, contractor schedules, vendor lead times, and the coordination gap between designer and builder where budgets slip and timelines stretch. That's before the decision overwhelm, purchasing chaos, and construction stress that comes with trying to manage it all yourself.

That gap is our specialty. We design the space, purchase every piece, and coordinate with your contractor through installation: one studio, one process, one accountable team. You make the decisions that matter and stay out of the ones that drain you.

Homes and Commercial Spaces in Santa Rosa

Alongside whole-home projects, we take on select commercial work. In downtown Santa Rosa, we led the interior and exterior design of Sonoma County Shade Co.'s showroom, a space for a company that designs, fabricates, and installs custom drapery and window treatments. The same discipline applies to showrooms, offices, and tasting rooms: a clear design intent, purchasing handled, and a space that's ready for customers on opening day.
