About Tim Clarke
“Your home should be completely personal, utterly unique, and reflect who you truly are-certainly not who or what someone wants you to be.”
Tim Clarke, Interior Designer in Santa Monica, California, is well known for creating sophisticated, unique spaces inspired by modern classicism. At once relaxed and timeless, Tim’s modern elegance and vintage luxury translates into inspiring sustainable interiors.

These creative rooms encourage freedom and lightness without sacrificing style.
