Paloma Home is an interior design and staging studio led by Dara Donovan. With over a decade of prior experience as an editorial and advertising photo stylist for a wide range of international brands, Dara has spent her entire career bringing a California sensibility into the modern home. Deeply inspired by fine art, music, and travel, she believes inspiration can come from anywhere, and that the curation of an aesthetic is a lifelong practice.

 
 
 
 

Architecture is largely fixed, but the lives within are dynamic.

We work to uncover the place where form and function meet aesthetics and aspiration, to create spaces people want to live in.

 
 
 
 
 

Our Approach

  • Our mission is to help people connect to a home by bringing its spaces to life. We do this by combining the eye of an artist, the expertise of a stylist, and the experience of a designer—achieving balance through layers, textures, and a bit of the unexpected.

  • We believe intentional design requires a custom approach, because each and every home is different, as are the needs of the people within it. Working together, we can highlight the essence of any room.

  • We see a world in which a home can inspire people—not just as a backdrop, but as an integral part of their lives, making their everyday experience of the space both beautiful and practical.
