In California's Central Coast, custom homes require interior design that evolves with occupants, especially retired families aiming to age gracefully. At Timely Designs, we craft functional, high-end modern living spaces through a collaborative process, ensuring every detail reflects a unique vision for a enduring haven.
Our journey begins by understanding clients' current desires and future comfort. For this master bathroom, retired clients wanted a space that would serve them beautifully as they aged. The "organic, embracive, earthy" palette created a tranquil atmosphere, while a meticulous space plan optimized flow and accessibility. Elements like the walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity were strategically placed for ease of movement, anticipating future mobility needs without sacrificing luxury or charm. This foresight is a hallmark of professional expertise, ensuring long-term usability.
Material selection focused on premium elements for a serene, spa-like experience. Light-toned, veined stone tile in the shower and around the tub offered luxurious calm, integrating with the home's elegance. The vanity provided ample storage, maintaining an airy feel. Every surface was chosen for aesthetics, longevity, and ease of maintenance, crucial for aging-in-place. Stone slab surround, rich accents, and elegant brass fixtures exemplified our commitment to timeless beauty and practical durability. Strategic lighting and thoughtful furnishings ensured functionality and invitation. A layered lighting scheme incorporated ambient, task, and accent lighting. Large windows maximized natural light, connecting the bathroom to the Central Coast landscape. Selections were chosen for comfort and safety, including non-slip elements and accessible features. Each selection harmonized with the overall design, balancing modern aesthetics with classic details.
This project highlights the essential role of an experienced interior designer in custom home builds, especially for long-term living. We offer a holistic perspective, anticipating future needs, and possess expertise in accessible design and material longevity. We act as a critical partner, proactively solving challenges and saving clients time, stress, and resources. Ultimately, we integrate practicality with unparalleled style, transforming a house into a dream home for every chapter of life.
At Timely Designs, we believe homes should evolve with occupants, offering comfort, beauty, and unwavering functionality. This master bathroom transformation proves how thoughtful design creates a stunning, lifelong space. We craft personalized havens where Central Coast families can thrive and create lasting memories. Ready to transform your home into a personalized sanctuary? Contact Timely Designs today for a consultation on your custom residential design project. Let’s design for your life, beautifully.

The kitchen may be the heart of a home, but the dining room is where the family gathers to enjoy special occasions, create and pass on traditions, and savour each other’s company free from distractions. The family behind this particular dining room enjoys doing just that.
When they are not traveling the world, Matthew and Anna (names changed) love to cook meals at home with their teenage daughter, entertain family and friends, and live amongst their cherished travel souvenirs and heirlooms. Their dining room, however, was far from the perfect backdrop for these experiences.
Before: Dining Room:
When Matthew and Anna contacted us, they imagined a space that would comfortably seat 8 to 10 people and incorporate their beautiful inherited dining table and sideboard in a fresh, modern way. Above all, they wanted a dining room that they would feel proud to share.
They worked with us to design, lightly renovate, and furnish their dining room and adjacent living space. Now, the room is nothing short of inviting and elevated.
Classic Yet Contemporary Dining Room:
Viewed from the living area, the dining room is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Matthew and Anna wanted dark blue for the walls, and we couldn’t have been happier to find the perfect shade for them. By leaning darker, this rich blue creates the perception of depth, making the room feel enticing, comfortable and secluded.
The previous built-ins were underwhelming and lacked function, so we designed wider, taller, double sided cabinets that integrated the existing bulk-head, and then accessorized the shelves with the family’s travel finds, books, and decor. Topping these units with brass art lights not only blends contemporary and traditional styles, it also draws attention to the dining table’s modern show-stopping chandelier. You can’t miss it.
Inside the dining room, the effect is equally impressive: enveloping yet spacious, warm yet cool, classic yet contemporary. We incorporated their heirloom pieces seamlessly into the design thanks to the 1:2 ratio. For every traditional piece, we introduced two more modern or contemporary pieces — clean lines, subtle curves, and lustrous brass hardware. The result is a collected yet updated look.
In any room with dark walls, lighting is of the utmost importance. We placed a mirror adjacent to the window to reflect natural light throughout the room, and we kept the trim and ceiling white for brightness. To provide maximum versatility, we provided multiple light sources that can be adjusted to create different levels of light to suit any mood or occasion. These include: pot lights and a chandelier on dimmers, a sculptural trilight lamp on the sideboard, and art lights on the bookcases and above important art pieces.
The built-ins have another surprise waiting inside this special dining room:
Double-sided built-ins: dining room shelving and living room shelving.
Rather than keep them white like we did in the living room, we painted the back wall of the book cases the same dark blue as the walls in the rest of the room. This reduces the contrast with the surrounding walls and emphasizes the white outline of the cabinets. We also love the dark blue walls’ role as a beautiful backdrop for this family’s treasures. The brass accessories and hand-painted vases and bowls feel like part of the experience.
Of course, what is beauty without function? It may not look like it, but the base storage is only accessible from the dining room side. The units include deep cabinets for storing serving ware, as well as another delightful surprise: silverware drawers lined in luxurious navy velvet!
Lastly, we designed this beautiful nook for their heirloom sideboard. From afar, the wall looks as if it has texture and perhaps a touch of shine. Up close, you will notice that it is actually navy blue wallpaper with tiny golden dots. This unique touch accentuates the brass in the room touches throughout the space.. The room feels curated, contemporary, and full of character.
Words of Praise:
Anna and Matthew were thrilled with their new dining room and with the design process itself, which is always the highest compliment. They said:
“Working with Lori and her team at Simply Home Decorating was a great experience. The design they came up with was both beautiful and practical for our family. Renovations can be stressful but working with Simply Home made the process much more pleasant.
“Simply Home's project management and their longstanding relationships with reliable trades meant we could relax, knowing that everything was taken care of. If an issue arose, the entire Simply Home team was quick to address it. They were excellent at communicating with us—we never felt like we didn't know what was going on. We would highly recommend working with Simply Home Decorating.”
Thank you, Matthew and Anna! We are honoured to have been part of your journey and wish your family many happy memories in these new spaces.
