Why people hire us for their Santa Monica space
What you see is what you get
We source every product first, then build your renderings. The finished room matches the images you approved.
One point of contact
No chasing vendors, shipments or contractors. One team handles design, procurement, logistics and install.
Furniture you cannot buy at retail
Trade relationships built over more than a decade give you access to vendors, artisans and custom makers.
Custom pieces made for your space
Custom furniture is built to commercial-grade standards with residential comfort, sized to fit your room.
Delivered in the right order
We receive, inspect and warehouse every item. Nothing ships until your space is ready for it.
Styled down to the last detail
After install we add art, accessories and textiles so the room feels warm and finished, not staged.
End-to-end interior design in Santa Monica
Design in Rhythm is a Los Angeles based firm led by founder Jon Wheat. We start with a conversation about how you live, what inspires you and the budget and timeline you have in mind. Then we turn that into floor plans, mood boards and photorealistic 3D renderings so you can see the space before a single item is ordered.
From there we handle the parts most people dread: purchasing, contracts, vendor coordination, warehousing, delivery, contractor coordination, installation and final styling. You get one team and one point of contact from kickoff to the final walkthrough.

Clients and partners we have worked with
“Jon is our family's first experience with a professional designer for our house and he's absolutely blown away every expectation. From our first call I could tell he radiated positivity, genuine care, and professionalism. He guided us with such patience as we navigated balancing both my and my husbands styles, and happily answered every question, call, and text no matter how big or small the detail.”
“Jon's work is beyond exceptional, cool, vibrant, and just beautiful. And as important, he is just a blast to work with. He listens, he cares, and he is a true people person. He brings forth his creativity and yet remains true to my style. Jon designed our "monster couch" and provided interior design for our space. We wanted a giant L couch for our living room. He helped us blend with the natural beauty outside of our living room and brought in colors and accents to make a truly modern, cool, and yet unbelievably comfortable living space. Small touches, like helping us creatively dog-proof and kid-proof the couch, were so appreciated. We more recently worked with Jon to furnish the outdoor space for our back yard. We are so happy with his custom outdoor furniture line. Like all his pieces, it is made for actual use, is the right size, is the right fabric, and is incredibly durable and comfortable. And the set is a work of art. Jon is beginning to help us design a new custom piece, and we can't wait to see what inspired work he brings us next! I could not recommend him more highly!”
“Jon was the first designer I ever worked with, and will be the last. He is so attentive to detail, personality style, interests, and overall aesthetics when working with a client. He is patient, and takes his time to create a special space for each unique person he works with. I am a little bit of a control freak and he let me express my thoughts and opinions in a way that allowed me to feel comfortable and in control. I have heard of some designers taking over as if they know best and are the expert, but Jon never had any sense of entitlement. He is extremely versatile and creates spaces that feel beautiful and practical. His furniture is made with care and attention to detail. If you are on the fence, don't be. You will be so happy to work with him!”

Frequently asked questions
Do you take projects in Santa Monica?
Yes. Los Angeles is one of our active markets and our work includes the Santa Monica Promenade outdoor space. We also work in Santa Barbara, Boston, Las Vegas, Washington DC and New Jersey.
How is pricing set?
Every project is different, so there is no set price. In the free consultation we define your objectives, budget and timeline, then scope the work around them.
What types of projects do you take?
Full home remodels, residential interiors, apartments, outdoor spaces, plus restaurants, bars, commercial spaces and boutique hotels under 100 rooms.
Can I just buy furniture from you?
No. We do not sell furniture to the public. Sourcing and procurement are part of a design project, using trade-only vendors, artisans and custom makers.
Do you handle the construction work?
We provide construction support, not general contracting. For new construction or structural changes we coordinate with your contractors and trades so the design intent carries through.
How long will my project take?
Timelines depend on the scope, the products chosen and any construction involved. We set objectives, budget and a timeline at the start and track every order through to install.
