About Us
What’s in a name? A moniker is more than just a name – it’s also an expression of who you are. We believe this also applies to the spaces you call your own. Each room should celebrate the story of your individuality and simultaneously reveal your style. Our remarkable custom furniture and unique décor provide an unrivaled opportunity to create distinctive interiors that reflect you. While the story is yours, our expert team guides the design process with one goal: to ensure your experience is personal, inspiring, and enjoyable. Welcome to Moniker Home!
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Moniker is a premier custom furniture and interior décor studio whose mission is to bring each client’s vision to life.

Balancing form and function, Moniker’s principal design philosophy is to create custom furniture pieces that blend traditional and modern lines with exceptional craftsmanship. Moniker’s “superpower” is its ability to accommodate nearly every conceivable design specification. Handmade locally by the most skilled carpenters, upholsterers, and metal workers in Los Angeles, every piece is built to stand the test of time.

After being a devoted client for several years, Ryan joined the company in 2008 to take its online presence to the next level.
