About

Interior Design Imports has operated from its Anaheim Drive office and warehouse in eastern La Mesa since 1990, bridging the gap between clients, architects, and contractors through full-service residential interior design. The IDI Design Team's portfolio earned a 2014 Historical Resources Board Award and a 2015 San Diego Home & Garden Baths of the Year designation, with kitchen projects winning Kitchens of the Year in 2014 and a Ranch & Coast Best of recognition in 2010, work that often begins with architectural coordination through firms like One World Architecture in La Mesa. The firm's import division sources hand-painted Talavera ceramic tile directly from Mexican artisan workshops for installation in kitchen backsplashes, bathroom wainscoting, and outdoor living areas. Pre-renovation project phases require structural and pest assessments coordinated with inspectors such as Knotts Pest Control to clear subterranean termite activity before demolition begins. Highest-value commissions involve whole-home restoration programs with custom millwork packages, hand-selected stone slab procurement, and specification binders exceeding 200 pages of finish schedules, hardware catalogs, and vendor lead-time matrices.
