Studio Palomino offers residential interior design services throughout the Big Island, and we are available to work with homeowners in the beautiful and relaxed community of Puako. Led by designer Barbie Palomino, our approach combines modern luxury with warmth, practicality, and a deep respect for the home’s surrounding environment.
Puako is genuinely one of the most unique and beloved places on the Big Island. Homes here range from charming, vintage beach houses to stunning new construction, all woven together by winding roads and a backdrop of ancient petroglyphs and swaying kiawe trees. Whether you have a classic beach bungalow or are building a new home, our design approach is about honoring the essence of Puako, a place where life is lived outdoors.
The homes in Puako often feature open-air layouts, expansive lanais, and a seamless connection to the coastline. We specialize in bringing this natural flow indoors, selecting materials that feel rich and authentic, yet are durable enough for life by the ocean. We can help you navigate the process of furnishing a vacation retreat, building a family home, or transforming your space into a personal sanctuary that feels both comfortable and curated. From sourcing unique art to selecting finishes that tell a story, we bring a clear, thoughtful vision to every project.
If you are a homeowner in Puako planning to remodel, build, or refresh your space, we would be delighted to hear from you. We’re available to offer design support and help you transform your home into a place you will love for years.
