Puerto Vallarta has quietly become one of Mexico's most exciting destinations for interior design. Between the hillside villas of Conchas Chinas, the modern condos rising along the Marina, and the colonial townhouses of the old town, there is no shortage of homes waiting to be transformed. The right designer can turn a beautiful space into a deeply personal one — balancing style and function so that a room not only photographs well but actually lives well. Here are the top 10 interior designers in Puerto Vallarta bringing that vision to life.
How We Chose These Designers
We looked for designers with a strong portfolio of completed PV projects, fluency working with both local artisans and imported finishes, and a reputation for listening to clients rather than imposing a single signature look. Many of them also coordinate with builders and architects, which matters in a coastal climate where ventilation, humidity, and light shape every decision.
1. Casa Bahía Interiors
Known for warm, layered interiors that mix Mexican craftsmanship with contemporary lines, Casa Bahía Interiors is a favorite for full villa remodels in Conchas Chinas and Amapas. Expect handwoven textiles, custom parota-wood furniture, and a refined neutral palette that lets the bay views take center stage.
2. Estudio Pacífico
This boutique studio leans modern and minimal, ideal for Marina and Versalles condos where clean storage and smart layouts make small footprints feel generous. Their lighting plans are especially well thought out.
3. Vallarta Living Design
A go-to for expats furnishing a second home from afar, they offer turnkey packages that handle everything from sofas to spoons, with transparent sourcing and reliable delivery timelines.
4. Marisol Reyes Diseño
Marisol brings a colorful, distinctly Mexican sensibility — talavera accents, bold textiles, and curated folk art — for clients who want their PV home to feel rooted in place rather than generic resort chic.
5. Bay & Co. Interiors
Strong on tropical-modern outdoor living, Bay & Co. designs terraces, palapas, and pool areas as carefully as the rooms inside, which is exactly what Vallarta's indoor-outdoor lifestyle demands.
6. Litoral Studio
A younger firm with a sustainable streak, Litoral favors reclaimed wood, natural fibers, and locally made pieces, keeping projects both eco-conscious and budget-aware.
7. Hacienda Home Design
Specialists in colonial and hacienda-style restorations in the old town, they balance historic charm with modern kitchens and bathrooms without losing a home's original soul.
8. Norte Diseño Interior
Polished and luxury-oriented, Norte handles high-end developments and penthouses, with access to imported finishes and a portfolio of glossy, magazine-ready interiors.
9. Casa Verde Interiors
Focused on calm, wellness-driven spaces, they use soft palettes, plants, and natural light to create homes that feel restorative — popular with remote workers and retirees.
10. Vista Interiorismo
Versatile and approachable, Vista is a great choice for first-time clients, offering room-by-room consultations and staging services for owners preparing to rent or sell.
Tips for Working With a Designer in PV
Plan around the climate
Humidity and salt air are real. Good designers will steer you toward durable fabrics, treated woods, and finishes that survive coastal conditions, saving you money over time.
Mix local and imported
Some of the best PV interiors pair a custom local piece — say a parota dining table — with a few imported statement items. Ask your designer how they source both.
Coordinate early
If you're renovating, bring your designer in alongside your contractor at the start. If you still need a builder, our guide to local services on the blog is a useful starting point, and you can always reach out via our contact page.
