5 Hispanic Interior Designers You Need to Know

October 12, 2021
  • Share

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to put a spotlight on Hispanic interior designers. One thing I love about interior design is that it’s subjective. Everyone has their own style because we all come from different backgrounds. We are influenced by different cultures, art, and entertainment. It reflects in the way we dress and the way we decorate our homes. I’ve selected five talented Hispanic designers that have mastered the art of designing a space that is inspired.

About Hispanic Heritage Month

The duration of Hispanic Heritage Month started on September 15th and will end on October 15th. The month is about celebrating the culture and historical influence of Hispanic American citizens. During this month, we recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans whose ancestors came from Mexico, the Caribbean, Spain, and Central and South America. Their achievements have impacted modern-day art, design, entertainment, and more in the United States.

 

  1. Mary Liz – @marycasachic

A neutral color palette with hints of wood textures and a mustard throw pillow.

Meet Mary Liz, a Nebraska-based interior designer that has been featured in HGTV Magazine. Her work features a combination of modern design and vintage style. You all know I love a gallery wall. Doesn’t matter where the gallery wall lives. It can be in a living room, kitchen, or bedroom. When I stumbled upon her bedroom on Instagram it inspired me. A gallery wall is one of the most underrated techniques to elevate a room. They’re each unique and tell a different story (see my COCOCOZY Design House project to compare another gallery wall design). Mary’s bedroom features a gallery wall ties the whole room together – by adding character and charm. It balances modern styles with hints of vintage decor. Her design is elegant and chic without being overwhelming.

Meet Stephanie Watkins, a Maryland-based interior designer, and blogger. Her designs feature vibrant colors and bohemian flare. What began as a creative outlet turned into a business. She created a home decor line called @casawatkins and her designs have been featured in several publications including HGTV, Southern Living, and Pioneer Woman. Stephanie’s design style is influenced by different cultures that she also brings into her own home.

3. Ezz Wilson – @ezzwilson

Wilson’s designs feature unique art and abstract furniture.

Meet Ezz Wilson, a Portland-based interior and photo stylist who combines beauty with comfort. Wilson’s style is a combination of bohemian, modern, and traditional designs. She makes a beautiful space comfortable and stylish by adding textures and neutral tones. Wilson takes a holistic approach by incorporating Ayurveda into her designs to create an oasis within a space.

4. César Giraldo – @cesargiraldodesign

His dining room design from his Bel Air project.

Meet César Giraldo, a California-based interior designer who curates spaces inspired by his Colombian roots. César is also a dear friend of mine.  His design style is contemporary with touches of artisanal craftsmanship. César has worked on commercial and residential projects, including celebrity homes. Recently, he created an outdoor furniture collection for a Brazilian-based outdoor living company, Tidelli. The Medellíon Collection features bold-colored furniture inspired by the annual flower festival that happens in Medellín. His collection is a nice change from the natural color palette that is used in his interior design projects.  I love his work.  I had dinner at his home a few months ago and fell in love with his style even more. You’ll be seeing more of his work here on the blog and on IG.  He has some major projects he is working on now.

5. Eric Garcia – @maison_trouvaille

Garcia loves to travel, which helps bring a new perspective to his designs. He has designed commercial and residential projects for his high-profile clients Garcia finds the perfect balance of understanding his client’s desires while adding elements inspired by his extensive travels.

There are so many other fantastic Hispanic designers out there.  I am committed to year round showcasing these diverse perspectives in design – Hispanic Heritage month is start but I am going to say that I plan on celebrating designers like the ones mentioned above throughout the year…every year!! I think now is a great time to meet and showcase design talent that has been overlooked by traditional design media organizations.  You will find a mix here of everyone!   Happy Hispanic Heritage month!

Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
