Violante & Rochford Interiors

V&R Interiors, a beloved Santa Fe institution, has a long-standing history of creating beautiful and functional spaces for discerning clients. For years, the firm, owned and operated by Paul Rochford and Michael Violante, flourished as a leading force in interior design, known for its commitment to quality, collaboration, and timeless style. V&R Interiors' legacy continues with the new ownership of John Hare and Kelly Collum, who bring their own diverse backgrounds and design expertise to the helm.

These resources, along with THE STORE, a curated collection of artisanal design objects, perfectly complement V&R Interiors' comprehensive design offerings. This unique combination allows V&R Interiors to deliver truly bespoke solutions for clients, drawing on a vast network of talented artisans, craftsmen, and partners.
