ABOUT

Desert Minimalism is a full-service interior design studio founded and ran by artist, Lilianna Kim, serving the desert communities of Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and surrounding areas.
Our philosophy is rooted in functional, sustainable designs with clean and modern lines that honor the local desert aesthetic. We value thoughtful spaces and believe beautiful design should never sacrifice function. Our homes are inspiring, luxurious, and most importantly, lived- in.

Committed to sustainable design, we collaborate with only the best local craftsmen to construct custom furnishings and cabinetry specific to your space and taste. We commission local artisans to create one-of-a-kind art and wall hangings and utilize our own in-house artist. When possible, we also source vintage pieces from local shops, giving your space just the right amount of midcentury inspiration. Our custom approach allows us to imagine unique interiors reflecting a warm, airy simplicity that flows seamlessly with the spectacular desert exterior.

With Lilianna’s extensive background in tattoo artistry, she has a keen eye for the small details and finishes that make a specific space feel vast and breathtaking. She transitioned into interior design while renovating her own midcentury modern Palm Springs home with her husband. While executing the complete interior/exterior remodel, Lilianna fell in love with the process of turning a space into a home. So much so, she decided she wanted to share that joy with others. She revels in making her clients’ dream homes a reality.

From interior design and staging to full remodels and project management, Desert Minimalism creates spaces where simple, clean, and always inspiring experiences flourish.
