At Alison River Interiors, I design homes that feel calm, layered, and easy to live in. Spaces that reflect how you actually want to live day to day. 


My studio focuses on warm modern Southwestern interiors—natural materials, thoughtful architecture, and spaces that are designed to function for you, not against you.


Whether you are remodeling a kitchen, furnishing a new home, or planning a new construction, I guide you through the process from concept to installation, so you’re not left figuring it out on your own.

  • Kitchen and bathroom design

  • Interior furnishings and styling
  • Design collaboration with architects and contractors


Every project is designed to balance how it looks with how it lives—so it still works for you years from now.


My signature design style: Warm Modern Southwestern


The homes I design in the Tucson area often blend:

  • natural wood
  • stone and plaster
  • tranquil desert colors

The result is a home that feels modern, but still has a sense of place.
