A home designed around you, quietly.

Krista works directly with a small number of private clients each year, many of them founders and early team members in the middle of a big life change. She keeps everything confidential and meets you at your level, and she knows the trade.

Every project is led by Krista personally, with a small, trusted team behind her. The commitments below are written into your design agreement.

How we work

From first conversation to the day you move in.

1

Listen

A private consultation about how you live, what you collect, and what home should feel like. We learn your priorities before we draw a line.

2

Design

Space plans, finishes, furniture and lighting, presented room by room with samples you can touch. Nothing is ordered until you approve it.

3

Source and build

Custom pieces, trade sourcing and every order tracked to delivery. We work alongside your architect, builder and owner's rep so the design is built as drawn.

4

Install

We place every piece, hang the art and style each room, so you walk into a finished home, down to the linens.

The designer you can hand your best clients to.

Agents, owner's reps, architects, builders and fellow designers trust Coupar with the people who matter most to their business. We respect your work, keep your schedule, and make you look good.

For agents

Your buyers are settled into a finished home soon after closing, and your listings are refreshed so they show at their best. Your clients remember who introduced us.

For owner's reps

A design team that makes your job easier: realistic furnishing budgets up front, documented decisions, selections on schedule, and clear reporting you can hand straight to your client.

For architects

Interiors that honor your architecture. We work from your drawings, coordinate furnishings, fixtures and finishes with your team, and protect the design intent through to install.

For builders

Selections made on schedule, clear specifications, and every order tracked from purchase to delivery, so design decisions never hold up the build.

For designers

Extra hands when you need them. Our studio team supports your projects quietly and behind the scenes, under your name.

About

Design instinct, scientific method.

Krista Coupar founded Coupar and grew it into a 30-person interior design studio, designing homes for private clients. Before that, she built Woven, which imported fabric directly from the mills.

She comes from a family of scientists and runs her studio the way they run a lab: listen closely, test ideas, and refine until every room works for the people who live in it. Every project follows the COUPAR x Designer Engagement Module, the studio's own method.

Let's talk.

Tell us about the home you envision. We will listen first, and arrange everything around your schedule.
