With over 25 years in luxury interior design, Susan Spath leads Kern & CO Home Furnishing & Company's showroom and design firm. Her expertise in creating timeless California coastal estates has earned recognition in Modern Luxury San Diego and Ranch & Coast Magazine.

We primarily serve San Diego County including La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, and Del Mar from our Solana Beach showroom.

While our portfolio focuses on residential design, we apply the same luxury principles to select commercial interior projects.

Our showroom welcomes independent furniture purchases while offering full design consultation for those seeking comprehensive solutions.

We excel in coastal contemporary, modern California, and French provincial styles while tailoring each project to client preferences.

We have been working with Susan Spath and Genny Chale of Kern & Company for over 15 years. They have helped us remodel two of our homes here in Del Mar, as well as, our home in Houston. Susan was instrumental in our recent design/build of our new home in Del Mar. She reviewed our plans to insure that every detail, from electrical, lighting, views, flow and furniture placement was taken into consideration by our architect. Susan provided us with detailed drawings of all our cabinets, space interiors and design, so we could visualize how everything would turn out. Susan even went so far as to share her professional contacts, so we knew we had a team of elite professionals helping us every step of the way.

Even after the project is done, they are willing to offer their clients any assistance required. We always feel that by using Kern & Company the project was completed efficiently without cutting any corners and making unnecessary mistakes. Every member of their team treats the project as their own home, and gives us the confidence to use them time and time again.

Kern & Co. is fantastic! The selection is not only plentiful, but is of great quality. They truly go above & beyond in helping you with design, procuring furniture as well as thinking of all the details. In fact, there are things that I wouldn't have selected on my own that I am so pleased I did. They sort of pushed me a little outside of my comfort zone, which is a sure sign of a great designer, and I have some incredible pieces in my home to show for it.

Everybody there is really kind & welcoming and I'm so grateful for their help. Starting with Viviani who does magic on her drawings allowing my vision to open up on paper, to Susan who is incredibly talented at "seeing" spaces that aren't even built yet. Cinthia, Chloe & Maddy are the shakers & movers that make miracles happen in so far as timing and the little things you didn't even think you'd need. The ladies at Kern & Co., both individually and collectively played a huge part in making our house a home for our family to enjoy for many years to come and we are so thankful.

What a pleasure it was to work with Susan Spath of Kern & Co. in Solana Beach during the recent remodel of my La Jolla Condo. Susan guided me through the selections floor to ceiling; She helped me decide the paint color, type of flooring and bathroom tile giving me confidence in my choices and adding beauty and value. The design advice and help Susan offers is priceless when there are so many major decisions to be made. With so much furniture in the store I was able to have many pieces delivered right away. Kern & Co. went over and beyond to assist me.

Kern and Co is a must for anyone looking for luxury home design. Susan is the best! We've had her design multiple homes for us throughout the years and every home exceeded expectations! Would 10/10 recommend!

I am not one for posting reviews, however I had to share my exceptional experience at Kern & Co. After working with Carol over a course of 5 months to revitalize my home, I finally have a home I am excited to live in. The entire process was easy and flawless. She addressed every one of my concerns and kept me in the loop with everything. I had more of a say throughout the process and felt like I was finally working with someone who is truly knowledgeable in her field. Thank you Carol and the team at Kern & Co!
