Designed to feel anything but typical, this basement remodel was centered around warmth, character, and livability. The goal was to create a space that feels fully integrated with the home above, both in function and aesthetic. An egress window was introduced to bring natural light into the new bedroom, transforming the lower level into a bright and comfortable extension of the home. The main living area is anchored by a custom built-in TV wall, creating a natural gathering space for movie nights and game days. Just off the living area, a custom wet bar adds both convenience and visual interest, making entertaining effortless. Built-in storage solutions were thoughtfully incorporated throughout, keeping the space organized while adding depth and detail to the design. The result is a basement that feels open, inviting, and intentionally designed for everyday living, seamlessly blending comfort, function, and style.

Tucked just beyond the master bedroom, this adjoining sitting room offers a striking contrast—rich, intimate, and deeply grounding. Wrapped in a sophisticated medium-stained wood, the floors, vaulted ceiling, walls, and even the window trim and grids create a beautifully saturated envelope that immediately sets a more relaxed, retreat-like tone. The depth of the wood tones transforms the space into a true sanctuary—an ideal place to center yourself before the day begins or unwind as it comes to a close. Expansive windows keep the room from feeling heavy, inviting in natural light while still allowing the richness of the materials to take the lead. Rustic-inspired sconces flank the windows, casting a soft, ambient glow that enhances the warmth of the wood and adds to the cozy, enveloping atmosphere. Thoughtfully designed and perfectly balanced, this sitting room feels like a quiet escape just steps away from the openness of the master suite.

Located in Mesa, Arizona, Citrus Heights reimagined a traditionally styled home into a contemporary retreat designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Our clients wanted a space that felt bold yet welcoming, balancing modern design with the warmth and comfort needed for everything from quiet family evenings to large gatherings with friends. Working within the home's existing architecture, we introduced contemporary furnishings, richer tones, textured wallcoverings, and thoughtfully scaled pieces to create depth and softness throughout. Custom storage solutions blend beauty with function, making entertaining feel seamless while showcasing the details that make this home uniquely personal. The result is a home that feels sophisticated, inviting, and designed for the way our clients live.

Inspired by the English countryside, layered botanicals and classic paneling bring warmth and character, while a bold graphic floor and updated fixtures keep the look feeling fresh and modern. The end result is a compact space that feels intentional, inviting, and full of personality.

We love how this great room feels so inviting, and functions so well for the space and the homeowners' lifestyle. The adjacent patio is easily accessible with the entire wall of doors that open up to create one very large space. The homeowners sit on this patio daily with coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the lovely views. We were involved from the design phase of this project, so the construction materials and furnishings are a perfect blend. Quiet elegance, inviting comfort and an indoor/outdoor lifestyle were what our clients wished for in our design, and they are thrilled with the result!

Nestled in the heart of San Clemente, this light-filled kitchen was designed to capture the calm, effortless charm of San Clemente. Due to new wood flooring the existing layout was preserved, but every surface was reimagined to feel fresh, functional, and timeless. Soft taupe cabinetry grounds the space with warmth, complemented by polished nickel plumbing, brass hardware and a marble backsplash that extends seamlessly up the wall. A subtle mix of textures, woven lighting, natural linens, and handcrafted ceramics, adds an organic sensibility, while curated details like vintage artwork and brass accents infuse the space with quiet character. This kitchen reflects Terri Brien Interiors’ signature approach: creating livable luxury through balance, comfort, and considered detail. Designed for a family that loves to cook and gather, the result is a serene, coastal-inspired retreat that feels as inviting as it is enduring.

The master bedroom feels warm and inviting even on a cold winter day!The custom Woodland furniture corner cabinet is hand painted to go with the bedding colors and drapes.
