Your Local Interior Designer in Oakland
Oakland’s architecture is a living mosaic of historic Craftsman homes, modern lofts, and hillside retreats. William Adams Design approaches each project with a deep respect for these architectural details and a commitment to clean, purposeful design.
We specialize in new home interior design in Oakland as well as updates to existing homes. All our projects are shaped by the structure itself, whether that means preserving the charm of a 1920s Craftsman or transforming a modern loft in Jack London Square.
Our clients have referred to us as one of the best interior designers in Oakland, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our process adapts to your needs while staying rooted in quality, clarity, and purpose.
