Santa Barbara Design Center - Santa Barbara, California

Shopping at SBDC was one of the best experiences of my life. Grace, Sam, Sherri, Mike, and Michael were all pleasant and authentically love what they do. Purchasing furniture is such an investment and I am extremely particular; however, this team made it seamless for me. I now have the home of my dreams with interior design that truly feels like mine when I enter. None of it would have been possible without the visionaries at Santa Barbara Design Center - infinite thanks.

The Design Center will fit your needs to your exact requirements. I’ve had occasional furniture needs that were not on the floor. Michael solved our needs by making the furniture to our specifications with the fabric and colors we wanted. A side note: I bought two beautiful “Persian” rugs (subject to fitting in my home) from two different retailers. I took them to Michael and Sam to confirm their authenticity and price, only to discover they were Chinese made with a hefty price tag which I immediately returned to those unscrupulous rug dealers and purchased two more beautiful rugs at lessor cost from Michael. Lesson learned.

We, once again, found the perfect rug with fantastic quality and a good price at the Santa Barbara Design Center. The over 20 year old rug that we purchased here is like new. Great service too!

Our experiences with the professionals at the Santa Barbara Design Center have been great. They have helped us with the purchase and maintenance of rugs for our home and we are in the process of beginning the refurbishing of a beloved piece of furniture.

I always have a great experience at SB Design Center. As a local interior designer I really value having a full service, custom furniture source that my clients can visit. Michael & Sam - really every staff member - has gone above and beyond for me and my clients. Not only has everyone been more than pleased with the furniture and rugs but everything (even custom furniture) arrives quickly - 4 to 6 weeks!

I never hesitate to recommend the Santa Barbara Design Center

Michael and his team are wonderful to work with. If you can dream it, he can make it. SBDC has made a number of custom furniture pieces for my clients and all have been perfect. Thank you xo

Recently I was seeking a referral to a qualified and knowledgeable design professional who could assist with antique and Oriental rugs. The name I was given by two Santa Barbara contacts in the design space was that of Michael Kourosh. Michael did not disappoint! He has been steeped in the history, traditions and beauty of these rugs since childhood. He easily and patiently imparts information and details regarding the makers and the craft of these cherished pieces; you develop an even greater appreciation of the discipline and the skill woven into each rug. If you ever watch his television show, “Design Santa Barbara” you will get a glimpse of Michael’s expertise in assessing and evaluating these distinctive textiles – and he is very approachable and helpful in person as the owner of the Santa Barbara Design Center.

As a designer, Santa Barbara Design is invaluable. In traveling between Los Angeles and San Francisco, searching for rugs, Santa Barbara Design is no doubt at the pinnacle of resources for rugs in the western part of the United States. I have not found such a selection from contemporary to museum quality antiques. The antique rugs are phenomenal, it is absolutely remarkable to see so many artistic gems in one location.
