Bringing William Adams Design Expertise to Alameda

We’ve worked all over the Bay Area, but Alameda holds a special place for us. The way the light moves through homes here, the mix of old and new architecture, and the easy rhythm of the neighborhoods make it a great place to design.

William Adams Design in Alameda brings years of experience and a sharp eye for detail to every project. Our team knows how to highlight the best features of Alameda’s older homes, make use of natural light, and pull everything together with lasting style.

Service is as much a part of our craft as the design itself. As a trusted Alameda interior design firm, we guide you through design and installation with the discretion you’d expect from a specialist.

If you're looking for a designer who gets both the big picture and the little details, we’d love to talk.

Serving Alameda and Surrounding Areas

We proudly serve clients across Alameda and throughout the Bay Area. You’ll find us in:
Oakland
Oakland is nothing if not eclectic. We’ve opened up kitchens in Rockridge, calmed down busy layouts in Temescal, and helped clients in the Hills make sense of rooms with jaw-dropping views but awkward proportions.
San Francisco
San Francisco forces you to get creative. Homes here are beautiful, but they’re often tight, layered, and stubborn. Our team has carved storage into row houses, maximized natural light in narrow flats, and designed kitchens that make sense in 100-year-old layouts.
Berkeley
Berkeley homes have stories built into the walls. We don’t erase that personality: we refine it. Clients here trust us to preserve what matters, edit what doesn’t, and make spaces feel more rooted in how they live now.
Walnut Creek
Space is rarely the problem in Walnut Creek. We’ve helped clients rework sprawling layouts that lacked focus and create homes that feel pulled together and livable at every stage of life.
Piedmont
Piedmont homes are beautiful and historic. We’ve updated kitchens, refreshed bathrooms, and redesigned whole interiors with respect for the past and an eye on comfort. Our job is to bring these homes forward without losing what made them charming in the first place.
Emeryville
In Emeryville, we’ve helped clients carve definition into wide-open lofts, create warmth in industrial shells, and design multi-use spaces that can flip between work, play, and downtime effortlessly.
Coast Guard Island
While this pocket of Alameda is quieter and slower, it deserves the best in design. We make sure the homes here borrow from the water, lean into simplicity, and give you the kind of balance you only get when home feels like an escape.

FAQs

What types of homes do you work on in Alameda?

We’ve worked on everything from 100-year-old bungalows to newer builds and waterfront homes. Each one has its quirks, and we love figuring out how to make the most of what’s already there.

How do you preserve historic features in older Alameda houses?

Carefully, and with a lot of respect. We keep what gives the home its charm and update the rest so it feels livable. For instance, we’ll keep any original trim, but do away with bad lighting and choppy layouts.

How long does a typical Alameda project take?

It depends on the scope, but most projects take a few months. A full gut reno will take longer than refreshing a couple of rooms. We’ll give you a clear timeline before anything begins.

Can you source sustainable materials for Alameda homes?

Absolutely. If eco-friendly choices are important to you, we can prioritize low-VOC finishes, reclaimed wood, and long-lasting materials that look good and hold up over time.

What’s the cost for interior design services in Alameda?

Every project is different, but we’re upfront about costs and how everything’s structured. During your discovery call, we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and give you a clearer picture of pricing.

Do you serve areas outside of Alameda?

Yes, we work throughout the East Bay and beyond, including Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, Marin County, Walnut Creek, and a few other favorite spots.

How do you incorporate coastal influences into designs?

We let the light, texture, and surroundings guide the design. Our team may recommend  breezy palettes, natural materials, or layouts that feel more relaxed and open without going full beach house (unless that’s what you ask for).

How do I get started with WAD’s interior design services?

Book a discovery call, and we’ll talk about your space, your goals, and what’s getting in the way. There’s no pressure to commit at all.
