Bona Prehoda is a Lake Tahoe born interior designer with over 25 years of professional experience creating spaces that are personal, considered, and enduring. Her work is grounded in clarity, context, and a nuanced understanding of how you inhabit your space, translating lifestyle, values, and routines into environments that feel natural, refined, and purposeful.

Her work emphasizes private residences, extending to hospitality and restaurant interiors, marine projects, event design for high-profile occasions such as the Celebrity Golf Tournament and the Concours d’Elegance, high-end home staging, and institutional projects, including Stanford University’s alum retreat at Fallenleaf Lake. Select country club commissions further demonstrate the same meticulous attention to detail and rigorous commitment to excellence that define every project. She has also completed accessible design projects for clients with disabilities and environmentally conscious LEED-type projects, integrating thoughtful solutions without compromising aesthetic quality.

Her clientele includes high-profile figures across industries, from pioneering tech leaders such as a senior Google executive, to professional athletes, creative innovators, and music icons. Every engagement is approached with the same care, discretion, and dedication: respecting client privacy is as central to the work as design itself.

Rather than imposing a signature style, the process centers on listening and understanding. The goal is to create interiors and environments that feel entirely aligned with the client, intuitive, functional, and unmistakably personal. The work grows almost entirely through word of mouth, reflecting long-standing relationships with builders, artisans, and collaborators, many of whom have worked alongside her for decades.

Bona’s focus is on creating a journey that is as rewarding as the result. Each project is an intimate, collaborative process, guided by respect, care, and a commitment to excellence, where every decision serves the client’s vision and lifestyle.
