ABOUT

Growing up in northern Germany near the Baltic Sea introduced me to ancient architecture and scandinavian style. Living with natural light in practical and uncomplicated spaces is reflected in my designs. I enjoy the use of color and feel that it has a great impact in every space. 

I have always had in interest in dance - my BA is in dance education. The way dances are created - with respect to space, travel pattern, proportions, color, lighting and set design, can be translated into creating spaces for your home. The composition of a room has to be in harmony so we can feel comfortable and enjoy our homes.

I have been working in the design industry for about twenty years, and my design business was established in 2003. I studied Interior Design at Canada College in Redwood City, receiving Certificates in the following:
​
  • Residential Design
  • Kitchen & Bath Design
  • Commercial Design
  • Sustainable Design

Certified Interior Designer #6765

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kerstin Dieterich for a 14 month long home renovation and are ecstatic with the final results. Kerstin has been an integral part of our design and planning team. Her ability to translate our vision into reality while keeping our budget in mind was refreshing. Her professionalism in working with the contractor and his team during enabled us to make decisions without compromising our design plans, especially during those “uh oh” moments that commonly occur in renovations. Kerstin helped with kitchen layout and design (the final product is amazing), floor selection, paint color selection, landscape design and plant selection, tile and fixture selection. She has a wonderful working relationship with local home improvement providers which made it easier for us to select materials such as countertops and wood flooring. Kerstin took into consideration that we have three young children when designing our home and we could not be happier with the final result."

"Kerstin helped me with the remodeling of my home. I completely remodeled one bathroom and partially remodeled a second. She designed the tile for both of the showers. I also remodeled the kitchen. She was instrumental in creating the design for the backsplash. Her vision assisted me in picking out countertops, floor, and tile designs. I am very pleased with the outcome of the project."
- Barbara Olds, December 2017

"I was overwhelmed by the thousands of design choices for my kitchen remodel on my first visit to the showroom. I knew I needed help. That's where Kerstin came in. She made the whole process fun and productive. In just over 2 hours I had a coordinated set of choices for cabinets, flooring, counters and backsplash to review with my husband. Kerstin is a true professional and saved me a lot of leg work and time. I would be glad to work with her again."

"Kerstin is the best. She is professional, listens to us and helped us design our dream home. She was also very flexible with our crazy schedules. She helped us tackle the difficult decisions with ease and efficiency. We are extremely happy with our result and we couldn't have done it without her tireless work ethic and amazing design sense."

"I have enjoyed using the services of Kerstin Dieterich for several home remodel and update projects. She designed 3 bathroom remodels for our home. Kerstin listened to our needs and is excellent in creating designs that meet those needs while staying within budget and matching existing styles thoughout the home. We are complemented on our choice of materials, colors and designs in each of these bathrooms. Most recently, I used Kerstin for a home update project. She was excellent and working with the existing construction and restraints and designing workable solutions for our family."

"We had Kerstin design our kitchen in Moss Beach based on a reference from a close friend of ours. She helped us with design, layout, color, and material decisions. The kitchen turned out to be awesome. The entire look was very unique and really suited our lifestyle and tastes. The thing that Kerstin did really well was help us to arrive at decisions. Our original ideas were all over the board. Kerstin helped us focus and make decisions - and all the decisions turned out great. Our kitchen would not have turned out as beautiful as it did without Kerstin's help. I would highly recommend Kerstin to design your kitchen."
