The Inside Scoop: Designer Sophia Zavala ditched the corporate world to create spaces that actually understand how you live. From her converted Third Street warehouse, she’s turning ordinary rooms into personal sanctuaries—one thoughtful conversation at a time.
The Designer Who Actually Listens First
Most mornings, you’ll find Sophia Zavala in her converted warehouse showroom on Third Street, orchestrating something magical. She’s surrounded by fabric swatches, paint chips, and architectural drawings—but here’s the secret: none of that matters until she knows your story.
Each project that flows from Harmony Interiors tells a story—not just Sophia’s design philosophy, but the unique lifestyle of the family who will call it home.
Real Spaces for Real Life
Want proof? Let me tell you about two recent transformations that perfectly capture her approach.
There’s the kitchen she unveiled last Friday: a chef’s paradise where midnight-blue cabinets meet warm brass fixtures, with a custom island sized perfectly for a teenage daughter who loves to bake alongside her food-blogger mother. Every inch designed around how this family actually cooks, creates, and connects.
Then there’s the living room she reimagined for empty nesters—replacing heavy furniture with airy pieces and creating cozy reading nooks that honor their new chapter while celebrating decades of collected memories.
“People don’t just want pretty rooms. They want spaces that understand how they actually live.”
— Sophia Zavala, Harmony Interiors
Coffee First, Design Second
Here’s what sets Sophia apart from every other designer in town: her process begins not with Pinterest boards or trend magazines, but with coffee and conversation.
She spends hours learning how her clients move through their days—where they gather for morning coffee, how they unwind after work, what makes them feel most at home. Only then does she begin sketching, sourcing, and selecting the elements that will bring their vision to life.
The Showroom That Changed Everything
This approach wasn’t always her signature. After years working for a corporate design firm, Sophia found herself creating showroom-perfect spaces that looked stunning in photos but never quite felt like home.
“I was designing for the camera, not for the client.”
That realization sparked her leap into entrepreneurship three years ago, transforming this former textile warehouse into both her studio and a laboratory for living well.
More Than Just Decoration
The result is never just decoration. It’s poetry written in texture and light, functionality disguised as beauty, and the quiet magic of walking into a room that somehow knows exactly who you are.
Supporting the Neighborhood, One Project at a Time
Between projects, Sophia mentors local design students and sources from neighborhood artisans whenever possible. That gorgeous brass fixture in the kitchen reveal? Crafted by the metalworker two blocks over. Those stunning ceramic pieces? From the studio on Fifth Street.
She’s not just designing beautiful spaces—she’s strengthening the entire creative community.
Your Turn to Create Magic
