If you are here, chances are you care deeply about your home.
You may be building, renovating, or simply ready for your space to feel more aligned with the life you want to live. Most of our clients come to us at a moment of transition; growing families, new chapters, or a desire for their home to finally feel calm, beautiful, and reflective of who they are.
I believe everything begins at home.
The spaces we inhabit are not just the backdrop of life; they shape how we live within it. Our homes influence our mood, our relationships, and the rhythm of our daily routines. When thoughtfully designed, a home becomes more than beautiful; it becomes supportive of the life unfolding inside it.
That belief led me to found HIDE Studio Interiors, a Carlsbad interior design studio, in 2016. Over the past decade, I have led the design of hundreds of homes across Carlsbad, Encinitas, and the greater San Diego area, helping homeowners transform both new builds and existing spaces into interiors that feel refined, functional, and deeply personal.
Hanin Smith - Owner & Principal
My design philosophy is edited and deliberate. I believe restraint creates clarity. By carefully considering each material, piece, and architectural element, we allow negative space to amplify the impact of every design decision. The result is a home that feels composed, balanced, and quietly confident.
From our showroom in Carlsbad, California, my team and I provide full-service residential interior design, guiding projects from concept through installation. We collaborate with a trusted network of builders, artisans, and vendors throughout San Diego to ensure each project is executed with precision and care.
Clients often tell us the difference in working with our studio is the experience. We approach projects with clarity, organization, and calm problem-solving. These qualities matter just as much as design when navigating construction and renovation.
Outside the studio, I am a mother of two and an active member of MomCo, a community of mothers who gather in faith and friendship. My faith shapes the values I bring to my work: stewardship, integrity, and gratitude for the trust our clients place in us.
At home you will often find me cheering at my son’s baseball games, attending my daughter’s music performances, or experimenting with the perfect crust in our backyard pizza oven.
I prefer my Pinot Noir chilled, and I lead my business with purpose and intention.
