San Francisco Bay Area
Luxury residential interior design rooted in natural materials, considered proportion, and enduring beauty.
Marlin Studio is a San Francisco Bay Area interior design practice founded by Qinglin Jiang. We specialize in high-end residential projects — from full-home renovations to curated furniture and material selections.
Our approach balances architectural integrity with personal warmth. Every project begins with listening: understanding how you move through space, what you collect, and what calms you. From there, we build environments that are both refined and deeply livable.
We work with an exclusive network of trade vendors and artisan makers to source pieces unavailable through retail channels, ensuring each home is genuinely one of a kind.
From initial concept through final installation, we manage every aspect of your project — so you can enjoy the process rather than manage it.
Comprehensive design for new construction and full renovations. We handle space planning, material selection, custom furniture, lighting, art, and accessories — coordinated from first sketch to final reveal.
Sourcing and procuring furniture, textiles, and decorative objects through our extensive trade relationships. Access to exclusive lines and custom fabrication not available through retail channels.
Focused advisory sessions for clients who want professional guidance on specific decisions — a room refresh, a renovation direction, or a furniture plan — without committing to a full-scope engagement.
We begin with a thorough conversation about how you live, what you love, and what the space needs to accomplish. This session sets the foundation for everything that follows.
We develop a cohesive design direction — mood boards, space plans, material palettes — and present it for your feedback before any procurement begins.
Once the concept is approved, we source and order all specified items, manage vendor relationships, and track delivery timelines on your behalf.
We coordinate delivery, placement, and final styling — arriving on-site to ensure every element lands exactly as designed, down to the last detail.
We take on a limited number of projects each year to ensure each client receives our full attention. We'd love to hear about yours.
