Kern & CO Home Furnishing

We have been working with Susan Spath and Genny Chale of Kern & Company for over 15 years. They have helped us remodel two of our homes here in Del Mar, as well as, our home in Houston. Susan was instrumental in our recent design/build of our new home in Del Mar. She reviewed our plans to insure that every detail, from electrical, lighting, views, flow and furniture placement was taken into consideration by our architect. Susan provided us with detailed drawings of all our cabinets, space interiors and design, so we could visualize how everything would turn out. Susan even went so far as to share her professional contacts, so we knew we had a team of elite professionals helping us every step of the way.

Even after the project is done, they are willing to offer their clients any assistance required. We always feel that by using Kern & Company the project was completed efficiently without cutting any corners and making unnecessary mistakes. Every member of their team treats the project as their own home, and gives us the confidence to use them time and time again.

Kern & Co. is fantastic! The selection is not only plentiful, but is of great quality. They truly go above & beyond in helping you with design, procuring furniture as well as thinking of all the details. In fact, there are things that I wouldn't have selected on my own that I am so pleased I did. They sort of pushed me a little outside of my comfort zone, which is a sure sign of a great designer, and I have some incredible pieces in my home to show for it.

Everybody there is really kind & welcoming and I'm so grateful for their help. Starting with Viviani who does magic on her drawings allowing my vision to open up on paper, to Susan who is incredibly talented at "seeing" spaces that aren't even built yet. Cinthia, Chloe & Maddy are the shakers & movers that make miracles happen in so far as timing and the little things you didn't even think you'd need.

The ladies at Kern & Co., both individually and collectively played a huge part in making our house a home for our family to enjoy for many years to come and we are so thankful.

What a pleasure it was to work with Susan Spath of Kern & Co. in Solana Beach during the recent remodel of my La Jolla Condo. Susan guided me through the selections floor to ceiling; She helped me decide the paint color, type of flooring and bathroom tile giving me confidence in my choices and adding beauty and value. The design advice and help Susan offers is priceless when there are so many major decisions to be made. With so much furniture in the store I was able to have many pieces delivered right away. Kern & Co. went over and beyond to assist me.

Kern and Co is a must for anyone looking for luxury home design. Susan is the best! We've had her design multiple homes for us throughout the years and every home exceeded expectations! Would 10/10 recommend!

I am not one for posting reviews, however I had to share my exceptional experience at Kern & Co. After working with Carol over a course of 5 months to revitalize my home, I finally have a home I am excited to live in. The entire process was easy and flawless. She addressed every one of my concerns and kept me in the loop with everything. I had more of a say throughout the process and felt like I was finally working with someone who is truly knowledgeable in her field. Thank you Carol and the team at Kern & Co!

Amazing store! Friendly and knowledgeable staff which was the best part about my experience. Susan Spath at her Kern and Co store went above and beyond to meet my interior design needs, which consisted of going under budget for my living and dining room necessities as well as exceeding the completion date! Highly recommend to anyone wanting the best in interior design and products.

The staff at Kern is always super professional and helpful. Susan is one of the most talented interior designers in the country and will make your home look exactly how you imagined. If you have the opportunity to work with her, I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Best interior designer in all of San Diego! I am absolutely in love with my home, it is everything I ever wanted and more. Not only is she an extremely talented designer, she truly cares about her clients. She spent time trying to get to know me and really understand what I wanted. She made the entire process so stress free and helped every step of the way. I 100% recommend Susan, I promise you will not regret it.

Moving here from Europe and no contacts we luckily stumbled upon Susan Spath of Kern and Company. Not only did she navigate us through every aspect, she facilitated building our home while we were still transiting from Europe to San Diego. We arrived to our new home with every bed made, cupboards fully stocked, and all necessities thought of. The first thing our children did was jump in the pool. Thank you Susan and your amazing staff for this incredible process.

We stopped by unscheduled as the store was closing. The young lady closing up allowed my friend to explain that he was connected to one of their suppliers in NC, was here on vacation, and would really like to see the pieces on display. We got a warm 'yes' and were graciously shown around. With this type of care shown to strangers I can only imagine how their clients must feel. Thank you for the hospitality!

When thinking of the top luxury interior design and planning I automatically think of Susan Spath at Kern & Co. Her knowledge and eye for creating the perfect home is unmatched. Not only did she stay on budget, she exceeded every single expectation. Susan and team; thank you for making my dream home a reality!

This is a top rate, full service company who adds that personal touch in everything they do. They can change an estate in remarkable time with attention to every detail. Susan, the owner, puts her personal flare in everything she does. As an investor who needs to turn a timely profit on high end residential investments, there is no one else I would use.

Everyone I know uses Kern and Co. in my circles. We all know we can count on her to meet our needs with an amazing creative edge, on time and under budget. You won't be disappointed and there is no one else in the industry I would go to!

I have a few problems with this store: 1) It just isn't up to par with the other stores in the area. 2) The staff are rude and don't have answers to questions about existing products. 3) The selection within the store just does not have a coherent feel to it. 4) It's been fairly easy for me to price match several items at stores with better staff.

I had a total "Pretty Woman" shopping experience here the other day. This is a very pricey furniture store. I can afford it but I don't always dress like it. I'd had a busy day making several stops and was dressed for comfort. We just bought a new house in the area and I'd never been inside this store and wanted to check it out. It's beautiful and I was in love but the sales lady was so rude I'm not sure I'll be back.

I opened a door hoping it was a restroom and explained I wanted to wash my hands before touching any of the upholstery. The sales lady just grimaced at me and shooed me away from the door. Then I got scolded for taking a photo of a sofa with my cell phone. They are clearly frustrated with touristy types just browsing but missed a prime opportunity to gain a client.

I am so pleased with our new home. Susan Spath, of Kern & Co. is an amazing professional as well as a truly talented designer. Although I was living in Brasil at the time, Susan was able to make the most of my trips to California. She kept our home project on track and on budget. We could not have been able to do this without all her help and guidance. I highly recommend a visit to her beautiful store in Solana Beach.
