San Francisco–based interior designer Tineke Triggs has built a reputation for creating spaces that are as fearless as they are finely tuned. She is celebrated for her ability to balance bold imagination with inviting livability, whether it’s a jewel-toned living room, a ceiling mural that transforms a space, or a home layered with art and storytelling details.
Her work is deeply personal, often informed by her own experience as a visual thinker who translates a client’s personality into a space that truly reflects them, even when they can’t articulate it themselves. Known for her collaborations with artisans and her playful use of pattern, texture, and custom details, she brings a sense of rhythm and narrative to every project. In this conversation, she shares her approach to creating comfortable yet characterful homes, the importance of ceilings, and why storytelling is at the heart of her design ethos.
