Helping her mother constantly rearrange and re-decorate their home, she developed a taste for dramatic proportions and splashes of color. Working for ten years in New York City's editorial, film and events industries, Briana styled for clients such as NBC, Country Home Magazine, Ralph Lauren Home, In Style and Jimmy Choo. She spent 3 years under her mentor, William Lee, NYC's master of the Danish and Mid-Century furniture movement, studying the classics and refining her palette for minimal and modern function. Her latest venture is Briana Nix Lifestyle & Design, established in San Francisco in 2014. Drawing from her past, Briana weaves threads of whimsy and simplicity to create spaces that convey an elevated lifestyle, both inside and outside the home, while remaining practical for everyday use. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Lighting Design - Custom Built-ins - Floor Plans - Playroom Design - Nursery Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Rugs - Custom Shelving - Custom Pantries - Home Staging - Downsizing - Holiday Decorating ### Areas Served - San Francisco - Oakland - Berkeley - Daly City - Alameda - Pacifica - Albany - Mill Valley - Emeryville - Tamalpais-Homestead Valley - Tiburon - Sausalito - Brisbane - Marin City - Belvedere - Colma - Muir Beach - Belvedere Tiburon ### Typical Job Cost $2,500 - 100,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Briana Nix Lifestyle + Design | | Address | San Francisco, California 94114, United States | | Phone | 1000000 | | Website | http://briananix.com | | Followers on Houzz | 117 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/brianamnix - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/briananixdesign - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=100938177&trk=nav\_responsive\_tab\_profile - Blog — http://www.briananix.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Briana Nix Lifestyle + Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/briana-nix-lifestyle-design-pfvwus-pf~1670456842) - **Website:** http://briananix.com - **Phone:** 1000000 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2015–2019), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 12 reviews** ### All 12 reviews **★★★★★ — F S, May 2018** > Briana was really great with helping make decisions that I had been putting off for months.

Thank you Brie. **★★★★★ — Angela Ruman, Aug. 2016** > My 8 year old daughter and I were looking on Houzz for inspiration rooms for a modern child's bedroom. We came upon a room Briana Nix had designed. The minute my daughter saw the room she said, "this is the room I would like to have." The modern sensibility of the bedroom and the use of grey with pops of color was perfect. While I did not use Briana as my interior designer she was gracious enough to communicate with me a provide sources for the items in her impeccably decorated bedroom. I would certainly use her if we lived in the same city!! **★★★★★ — Christine Kim, July 2016** > When I moved into my boyfriends SoMa condo, I knew we needed to revamp the entire space so we could live harmoniously and bring our blended styles together. Briana created a design scheme that was fresh, modern and practical for the both of us. She chose pieces that fit our lifestyle while remaining organized and keeping our budget on point throughout the entire process. > > From her hours spent picking the perfect paint color and wallpaper to coordinating and handling all the furniture deliveries, Briana's talent, taste and dedication to our project was apparent from day one. She was enthusiastic and warm and worked harmoniously with us to transform our house into a home. I would highly recommend her services!! **★★★★★ — Valerie Henderson, March 2016** > Briana is truly a joy to work with. She listened to everything we wanted and she was able to put a floor plan and design plan together flawlessly. I will be using her for any and all future work **★★★★★ — missjodystyle, Oct. 2015** > When you ask me about Briana Nix…I can honestly say I’m OBSESSED. > OBSESSED: Can't stop thinking about… > http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=obsessed&page=2 > > I had burning desire for a beautifully decorated stylish modern home. However, I did not have the ability to achieve it on my own. Briana gave me exactly what I wanted. She has a finely tuned/keen sense of style: Spoken best by - Yves Saint Laurent , “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” Briana’s style is eternal and everyday I enjoy living in one of her creations. > > Briana’s dedication to the craft is evident, in the long nights spent sourcing, internet surfing & hunting for the perfect pieces we needed…Briana is a true professional and a delight to work with. > > Albert Hadley once said; “I deeply believe that a beautiful decor can have a beneficial influence on our lives.” My family and our home…we are now living proof of that, we've officially been NIXED. **★★★★★ — lsumnicht, May 2015** > I would highly recommend working with Bri! We LOVE what she has done with our place! She can do it all when it comes to design. She makes it fun to decorate and furnish a home. At first I wasn’t sure how to decorate our contemporary condo in San Francisco. I was worried it would have that cold or museum feeling some places have. She managed to make it nice and homey! Everyone who comes in loves it too :) > > Things I love about working with her: > > She is full of great ideas and options, and made it easy to brainstorm with the Pinterest page she made for us. > > She will make sure the job gets done & and done right. > > She made it easy for us with her list of referrals (from the wallpaper installer to the electrician) > > Great taste in wallpapers! > > Good at staying on budget. Knows where to find good deals and then also what to spend more on. > > Always comes with a good attitude! > > Bri is AWESOME! We will definitely use her to decorate our next place. **★★★★★ — mahsahakim, Jan. 2015** > I have met Briana, while looking for a furniture for my apartment. I realized how knowledgeable and talented she is and she has started coming up with a plan for my condo. I wanted to do both remodeling and refurnishing my space. Briana is extremely talented with colors and textures and how to mix and bring harmony with all of them. I have to admit that she has been very patient with me and very understanding of my budget and timeline. I love my new place and I will defiantly go back, when I need help in the future. If you are looking for a smart, tasteful, knowledgeable and classy person to rely on, you should consider Brianna. **★★★★★ — cscott54, Sept. 2014** > Are you a guy who knows what he wants in fine home design, but is clueless about how to get it? > > I'm that guy. > > And I'm glad I found Briana, who is a co-founder of the Portelle Collective of San Francisco. Briana and her partner Daphne Steinberg, worked seamlessly to make over my modern pad. The result: a place I can't wait to come home to, great for entertaining, and most of all, comfortable. I recommend Briana highly! **★★★★★ — Eric Poer, Sept. 2014** > Brianna was the lead designer on my SOMA loft. It was a really tricky space and I really enjoy her creativity and attention to detail. I also really appreciate that she was flexible and easy to work with and could source things from a number of different places/stores, etc.... **★★★★★ — rachaelkon, Sept. 2014** > My husband and I met Briana at HD Buttercup in San Francisco. We scheduled a meeting for her to come to our apartment and see the space we were working with. We wanted her help with the layout, picking furniture, and bringing our vision to fruition. We had a very specific image we were looking for but had a difficult time explaining it. Briana was fabulous. Not only did she understand what we wanted, she delivered ten fold. She was great to work with. She was very patient and kind. She listened to what we wanted and found such great pieces to make the space look great! Her design ideas were wonderful. I would especially like to praise her for being able to incorporate and blend the two very different style preferences my husband and I have, and making it look great at the same time. I highly recommend this wonderful lady for any future design work you may need! ## Selected projects - [Henry Adams Modern Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/henry-adams-modern-apartment-pj-vj~2737981) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Living Room Make Over](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-room-make-over-pj-vj~2495680) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: A modern 1970's Living Room make over in Burlingame. - [Los Gatos Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-gatos-remodel-pj-vj~951632) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Design by Briana Nix Lifestyle & Design.

A: The bed was the client's own but you can find similar Mid-Century teak beds on 1st Dibs, Chairish or France and Sons. It's a great bed though, isn't it? **Q: ooooo....that pillow is awesome!** *(in Photo Questions)* I appreciate the entire design...especially the boots and Lucha Libre pillow! Would you share the source for the pillow? A: Hi and thanks for the comments on the space! I believe this pillow was from Etsy but I couldn't find the source when searching. I did find something similar from Society 6--they have terrific options for quirky decor: https://society6.com/product/lucha-libre-hq3\_pillow?coupon=PRKY-3MMB-RZZM&utm\_source=Google&utm\_medium=cpc&utm\_campaign=1027&c\_kid=2111357p262519318126&gclid=CIr4xIKzpNICFQeVfgod6DkMqQ\#25=193&18=126 **Q: I love these beds. Can you tell me what brand they are?** *(in Photo Questions)* I also love there and the pouf. Could you tell me the brands of those as well? A: Of course! The twin beds are Blu Dot; the poof is custom made by Lee Industries in a lavender mohair fabric. You can go through HD Buttercup in San Francisco to custom order from Lee. **Q: Love the sheets and pillow covers where are they from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks! The top cover is by Coyuchi, a line of organic bedding that is fabulous: http://www.coyuchi.com/ The chambray pillow cases are clients own but look for similar options on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/216618204/set-of-2-blue-denim-pillow-cover?ref=market --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
