Guidance for living well. Selling beautifully.
Studio Hosten started with a simple obsession: the art of hosting. We’ve always been drawn to the quiet energy of a room that feels truly lived-in—spaces that are grounded, timeless, and shaped by the people who inhabit them. For us, design isn't just about how a room looks, it’s about how it holds the people you love.
We believe great design doesn’t begin with perfection; it begins with intention. Our spaces are built to function beautifully, invite conversation, and reflect the souls of the people who live there. Our aesthetic balances clarity with warmth—refined yet approachable, and always designed to be lived in rather than staged.
Whether it’s a small corner or a full open house, we turn spaces into invitations. We design for the pause, the gathering, and the ease of a home worth remembering.
Hosten is more
than design.
It’s the art of creating
presence & connection.
Julia O’Neill, Founder & Creative Director, Studio Hosten
Originally from Hamburg and based in Los Angeles, I founded Studio Hosten in 2025 to bring together my work as a licensed residential interior designer, realtor, and marketing graduate. After ten years in the industry, I see every home through the eyes of a host. I combine my professional background with the perspective of a mother of two young children, designing spaces that support real everyday life.
