We had some Moroccan rugs that we thought were ruined by a new puppy. Dozens of urine stains on each rug. Carpet cleaning companies could only remove the urine crystals to eliminate smell, but couldn't do a thing about the stains, so they sat stained for about a year, totally set in. I dropped the rugs at SBDC as my last resort. They completely transformed the rugs! I couldn't believe my eyes. They looked brand new! I'm very pleased and grateful to Michael and the rest of the crew. They are friendly, professional, and know what they are doing.

Highly recommended. We bought a custom sectional sofa from Santa Barbara Design Center over eight years ago--which is in our family room and gets lots of use--and it still looks brand new. Truly. The fabric we selected, as suggested by Michael Kourosh, the owner, has held up remarkably well. It is the most comfortable sofa we have ever owned, and definitely the longest lasting. Michael and his team go out of their way to make sure you get exactly what you want, made perfectly to your specifications and delivered when promised. it is probably the best furniture purchase we have ever made and well worth the money, especially considering the many years we've had and will continue to have it in our home. There is NOTHING else like SB Design Center in all of Santa Barbara.

This is a great store to buy furniture and unique decor pieces, as well as to get inspiration. They have lots of decor pieces from India and other Asian countries. Their couches are well made with really nice fabrics. There are hundreds of rugs, as well. Today, everything was at least 30% off and the owner gave me an incredible deal on a small framed painting. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t yet.

Huge inventory with so many design options. Good selection of lighting and mirrors as well as decorative pieces. Their recliners that don’t look like recliners are amazing!

Cool and clean with very nice toilets; staff who are interested and engagingly; and some well-priced clothing (t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts). Even if you've a good idea of what to do, it's worth dropping in to see exactly what's happening

I stepped in to ask a quick question, and walked out with a wealth of information and a nice, warm feeling that I was taken good care of. I travel a lot all over the world, but I have never been particularly impressed by visitor centers. At the Santa Barbara Visitor Center you feel you are among friends. They have your back. The Center manager himself, Ruairi Bateson, would step in and passionately share practical tips, bits of useful information colored by his own amazing experiences in the city. He is definitely a very friendly walking encyclopedia of the region and beyond. You feel you meet another avid traveler that you can passionately share your curiosities with. Ruairi never disappoints! I followed his tips and had a wonderful experience in the city and the surrounding areas. Don't miss stopping by the Santa Barbara Visitor Center, even if you think you are well prepared to explore the area. There is nothing that beats the treat of meeting an expert 'connoisseur' of Santa Barbara like Ruairi, and catching his enthusiasm for adventurous pursuits.

Michael and his team are attentive and responsive and will work to find exactly what you are looking for. Michael has been in Santa Barbara for decades and has built a well-respected and valued business. Their collection of rugs is unparalleled. Five stars for sure!

Nice place for maps and $1 cans of soda but why are there no doors on any of the stalls in the women’s restroom? Felt unsafe using.

This is such a beautiful store for home decorating with great furniture and rugs! I ordered a custom-made sofa that is perfect! Picked out the fabric and the seat inserts just the way I like it and it turned out fantastic! Michael did such a great job advising me and helping me pick the right thing! Thank you

Michael and his team helped us to get our old Persian rugs repaired and cleaned and they did an amazing job. We were planning to replace them and did this instead which saved us lots of money - and we love the rugs. Well done!
