A personal approach to creating a sense of home.

KP Malibu Interiors is a residential interior-design studio founded by Karen Porat and based in Malibu, California.

Karen’s approach to design is rooted in the belief that a home should be both beautiful and deeply livable. Her work combines elevated simplicity with natural texture, soulful details, and a relaxed sense of elegance.

With a background in marketing, entrepreneurship, and interior-design studies at UCLA Extension, Karen brings a thoughtful blend of creativity, organization, and strategic vision to each project.

As a Malibu local, Karen understands the natural beauty, light, lifestyle, and distinctive character of the area. Her work is informed by the way people truly live in their homes—how they gather, recharge, entertain, and move through everyday life.

Every project begins with listening closely to the client, understanding how they live, considering the space, and creating a design direction that feels personal, cohesive, and enduring.

“A home should feel considered, but never overly designed.”
