ABout STUDIO HOSTEN
WE DESIGN HOMES MADE FOR GATHERING.
I've never fallen in love with a home because it was perfect.
I've fallen in love because it felt good to be there.
Homes that feel welcoming, functional, and beautiful.
Designed for everyday life.
And the people you love sharing it with.
Designing Homes Through the Eyes of a Host
JULIA O’NEILL, FOUNDER OF STUDIO HOSTEN
Originally from Hamburg and now based in Los Angeles, I founded Studio Hosten to combine my work as a licensed realtor, residential interior designer, and my background in marketing and business development.
After completing my studies in Residential Interior Design at Santa Monica College, I decided to bring those experiences together through Studio Hosten.
As both a licensed realtor and interior designer, I understand how thoughtful design influences the way people experience a home. Whether preparing a property for market or creating a home for a growing family, my approach balances beauty, function, and long-term value. I design homes through the eyes of a host, creating spaces that feel welcoming, lived in, and connected to everyday life.
My work focuses on helping clients create homes that feel calm, beautiful, and ready for the people who matter most.
