Meet husband and wife design duo Odom and Kate Stamps. Founders of Southern California design firm Stamps & Stamps, the pair are Anglophiles at their core with a Californian sensibility. Their work combines classical English details and layers with a coastal flair making for perfectly appointing interiors with charming ease. Since 1991, Stamps & Stamps has built a distinguished reputation for reviving historical homes and creating beautiful gardens.
The pair met at Tulane University, Odom, an architecture student, and Kate, art history and English literature student. After graduation, the couple married and remained in New Orleans for ten years working at separate design firms. It was in New Orleans the couple had their daughter Emma and when she was three, the Stamps moved to Los Angeles.
As seasoned professionals with distinct perspectives, Odom and Kate joined forces to establish their eponymous firm. Both avid travelers with an English design sensibility, their work feels timeless and collected. Each space is saturated in life offering a sense of discovery. The Stamps have mastered the fine balance of comfort and restraint. And wonderfully so, this tension makes for interiors that are not place-specific or trend-driven. The pair have completed projects in Argentina, Canada, Norway, England, and Ireland just to name a few. In the United States, their projects span from coast to coast.
Take a look at the magnificent interiors and travels of Stamps & Stamps.

I purchased their book about a year ago, and I can tell you that it is a delight. I originally heard about them on the blog, Quintessence.
Stamps & Stamps have been my favorites for quite some time, lovely to see them showcased so beautifully on GP today…
I LOVE Stamps& Stamps! I bought their wonderful design book last year, and I’m thrilled that you added more photos of their beautiful rooms.
Thanks so much!
Just beautiful! My taste, and its so warm and inviting unlike this cold modern decor. I get made fun of, but its tasteful, and elegant.
Everything is beautiful! It’s so nice to see homes with personality whose owners have collected treasures throughout the years and display them all!
I’m so tired of those gray sterile boxes with no original art and no personality! Those types of homes remind me of institutions and institutions have no charm!
Thanks again for sharing their work.
All the details. That was fun!
I love their style! You said it- the perfect balance of comfort and refinement. Thanks for this great post!
