Spanish Influenced Home With a Coastal Twist

We’re excited to share a peek into one of our recent designs, Project Talega! Our clients had recently purchased a home nestled in the hills of San Clemente and hired us to infuse a coastal vibe into their Spanish influenced home. The main goal of the design was to brighten and freshen things up while keeping everything family friendly. We wanted to blend the couples young, fresh style with a sophisticated and timeless look.

WHAT WE DID: We redesigned their existing fireplace and rebuilt something lighter and brighter with subtle traditional elements. We wanted to make the fireplace the focal point of the family room so we designed two built-ins on each side using reclaimed wood to give the shelves depth and interest. We also addressed the “forgotten” window to the right of the fireplace by creating a built-in window seat with an upholstered cushion in a fun stripe! We layered pops of blue throughout the living room and mixed textures by bringing in different tones of wood, zinc, leather and sisal.
