Med spa interior design for Beverly Hills practices
Nataly Karavay is a Los Angeles–based interior designer who creates med spas, aesthetic clinics, and wellness spaces for practices where the stakes of getting the room wrong are highest. Beverly Hills holds one of the densest concentrations of aesthetic medicine anywhere — which means design here isn’t decoration, it’s differentiation. The studio’s clinical portfolio includes a completed med spa in Yorba Linda, California, a psychiatry and wellness clinic in California, and a medical spa in Richmond, Virginia; the studio itself is minutes away, in Los Angeles.
In a city full of aesthetic practices, what makes one interior actually stand out?
Not more marble — a clearer feeling. When a prospective patient in Beverly Hills has a dozen credible practices within walking distance, credentials stop differentiating and the experience of the space starts. The studio designs that experience deliberately. At a med spa in Yorba Linda, California — completed in 2026 — the design set organic softness against clinical accuracy: curved walls, rounded columns, softened corners, a warm layered palette, and stainless steel accents that reference surgical precision without sterility. Patients read that balance as competence and care at the same time, before anyone speaks. That is the differentiator no neighboring practice can copy from a catalog.
How do you design for privacy and discretion?
By treating sightlines and sound as material decisions, not afterthoughts — which matters more in Beverly Hills than almost anywhere, because discretion is often the reason a client chose your practice. At Mind Sanctuary — MBLDN Psychiatry & Wellness in California, reception is zoned in two, so guests coming out of treatment decompress apart from those just arriving; fluid drapery screens what shouldn’t be seen, sound is absorbed as guests move deeper into the space, and curtain dividers give each person enclosure even in a shared treatment room. A patient who can be seen from the waiting room — or overheard through a wall — will not relax, no matter what the finishes cost.
Does a Beverly Hills clinic have to look like every other minimalist white box?
No — and in a saturated market, sameness is the bigger risk. At The Aesthetic Era in Richmond, Virginia, the studio kept the intimate rooms and human scale of a 1920s building and layered in sculptural lighting, curved velvet, natural fabrics, and dark woods — a waiting area that feels like a salon, not a lobby. Beverly Hills has its share of buildings with real character; the studio’s instinct is to listen to the architecture rather than erase it. Character earns attention that flash can’t, and it photographs like nothing else on the block.
Working across Beverly Hills
The studio has not yet built in Beverly Hills — its completed clinical work sits in Yorba Linda, elsewhere in California, and Richmond, Virginia — but it is based in Los Angeles, minutes from the city. For Beverly Hills projects that means the same working model as any LA-area engagement: the designer comes to the site for visits, contractor walk-throughs, and installation oversight as the project requires, and the full-service process runs from concept and photorealistic renderings through construction documentation, specifications, and construction administration.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
- Do you take projects in Beverly Hills?
- Yes. The studio is based in Los Angeles, minutes from Beverly Hills, and works on site throughout LA-area projects. The clinical portfolio to date includes a completed med spa in Yorba Linda, California, a psychiatry and wellness clinic in California, and a medical spa in Richmond, Virginia — Beverly Hills would get the same full-service process, in person.
- Can you work inside an existing Beverly Hills building or leased suite?
- Yes. The studio regularly designs within existing envelopes — at The Aesthetic Era in Richmond, a 1920s layout was kept and elevated rather than gutted, and at a Pasadena wellness studio, where nothing structural changed, the new character came entirely from shapes and details.
- How is a med spa design different from a regular commercial interior?
- A med spa has to hold two things at once: the precision a medical space requires and the calm a patient needs to trust it. That shapes everything — circulation sequencing, lighting that reassures instead of exposes, acoustics and sightlines that protect privacy, and materials that read as both clean and warm.
