Office: Sonoma

Ann Wilhelm: Grosvenor Bed & Bath

‘Approachable beauty evoking emotion’ is OmHome Founder & Owner, Ann Wilhelm’s mantra when it comes to design.

With each client collaboration, OmHome seeks to find the essence of what makes a space come to life. Editing, sourcing, and using what is already there is OmHome’s recipe for transforming a simple space to one with zen-like balance. Whether obsessing over books on a shelf, sourcing the perfect lamp or turning a tray on a coffee table just so, nothing escapes Ann’s focused eye.

To help hone her craft and find inspiration outside of wine country, Ann works with good friend and interiors boutique owner, Maja Smith at Found by Maja (www.foundbymaja.com) on Sacramento Street in San Francisco.

“Worldly”. “Inspired”. “So Cool!” are a few of the adjectives used to describe our spaces. It is not by chance that OmHome Design has become a “speakeasy” in the design and stylist world of wine country.

Ann lives in Sonoma with her Architect husband & 2 young children.
