Philpotts Interiors

Founded in the 1960s by designer Mary Philpotts-McGrath, Philpotts Interiors is a Honolulu-based design firm celebrated for creating environments that reflect the beauty, culture, and spirit of island living. For decades, we have specialized in crafting residential and commercial interiors that embody a true sense of place, blending modern functionality with timeless artistry.

Our practice is rooted in collaboration—each project begins with a dialogue between the designer and client, fostering a shared vision that balances aesthetic expression and practical purpose. Through this process, we transform spaces into meaningful experiences, where every detail contributes to a cohesive and emotional connection.

Drawing inspiration from Hawaii’s rich heritage and natural landscapes, our work honors the connection between people and place. We integrate local materials, textures, and craftsmanship with global influences to create interiors that feel authentic, elevated, and enduring.

Guided by the legacy of our founder, we continue to expand our reach throughout Hawaii, the U.S., and across the Pacific, while staying grounded in the values that define our identity. At Philpotts Interiors, design is more than what meets the eye—it’s a celebration of art, culture, and human connection, shaped by the environment that inspires us every day.
