THE STUDIO
Southworth Interior Design is a boutique design studio based in Bakersfield, California, serving clients throughout the American West. We specialize in custom remodels and full service interior design for homes that value both beauty and function.
Our work is rooted in heritage and crafted for modern living.
We believe an intentionally designed home sets the tone for everyday life and that good design has the power to improve the
way individuals and families live within their spaces. Rather than subscribing to trends, we focus on creating interiors with character, depth, and longevity.
Central to our design approach is a love of color, pattern, and textiles. We design spaces that feel warm yet elegant, lived in rather than staged. By layering timeless materials with personal artifacts, we create homes that feel meaningful from the start and continue to evolve beautifully over time.
OUR FOUNDER
ASHLEY SOUTHWORTH
The Academy of Interior Design and
The Home Design Council Certified
Ashley Southworth is the Founder and Creative Director of Southworth Interior Design. Her passion for interiors began early, shaped by childhood afternoons spent in her grandmother’s antique store where she developed a deep appreciation for objects that carry story and memory.
Ashley earned her Masters Degree from Point Loma University and spent years working as a special education teacher, program specialist, and professor before completing her Interior Design Certification through the Academy of Interior Design in Los Angeles. She leads her studio with passion and authenticity, approaching each project with honesty, empathy, and great care.
Ashley believes that no two clients are alike and that homes should reflect the people who live in them. Rather than following trends, she works closely with clients to hone in on the true character of their spaces, creating interiors that are timeless, personal, and enduring.
OUR TEAM
Southworth Interior Design is intentionally small and deeply collaborative. We pride ourselves on a professional yet down to earth approach, creating an experience where clients feel supported, heard, and at ease throughout the design process.
We believe it is an honor to create spaces that hold people through all seasons of life. Our studio values thoughtful communication, mutual trust, and care for both the work and the people behind it.
Every project is approached with respect, intention, and a genuine commitment to creating homes that feel personal, timeless, and lived in.
Love Your Space Workshop
A Collaboration to Support Foster Youth
At Southworth Interior Design, we believe that home has the power to shape how we feel, heal, and grow. Through our ongoing collaboration with CASA of Kern County, we are committed to supporting children living in foster care by helping create spaces that feel safe, personal, and affirming.
The Love Your Space Workshop was created to give foster youth the opportunity to reflect on their environment and learn how small, thoughtful changes can bring comfort, confidence, and a sense of ownership to their space. This workshop is designed to be age-appropriate, creative, and empowering, offering practical tools that children can carry with them wherever life takes them.
As designers, we are entrusted with shaping the places where life unfolds. We believe it is our responsibility to use that skill set to serve our community and advocate for those whose voices are still being formed. This work is rooted in partnership, care, and the belief that every child deserves a space that feels like their own.
The next Love Your Space Workshop is planned for early 2027.
