ABOUT US
meet the team
Kelly Archer Interiors was born from a turning point.
After experiencing significant personal loss, Kelly made a choice—to move forward and build something meaningful. In 2014, one year after the passing of her mother, she founded Kelly Archer Interiors.
A Bakersfield native, Kelly has always valued the strength of her community. What began as a design business grew into a full-service firm, with the Design Studio opening in 2018 and the Storefront in 2020. Through every stage, the support of the community has remained constant.
Today, Kelly Archer Interiors serves both Bakersfield and the Central Coast, creating thoughtful, functional, and beautifully curated spaces. The firm’s growth is rooted in strong client relationships, a dedicated team, and a true passion for design.

SERVICE
Blue Feather
Shortly after my mother passed away, a friend of mine had a dream about her. She was walking down the aisle at my daughter’s wedding dressed in a blue dress suit with a matching pill box hat. She sat next to me... suddenly stood up and pointed at her chair. There, she left a gift; it was a framed picture of the Blue Bird of happiness. When my friend told me the dream, I immediately searched for the meaning behind it.
about the
“Usually, right after a time of tremendous difficulty, the bluebird comes to bring good fortune in all things such as love, money, healing, and happiness.”
“In our original logo the feather was floating at the top, symbolizing my mom watching over me, now in the new logo, the feather is at the bottom representing her being in my foundation.” ~Kelly
Some believe the bluebird is a symbol of joy and hope; others, that good news will be arriving soon. There are those that think bluebirds represent a connection between the living and those who have passed away.
