Example of a trendy home office design in Los Angeles

Two family homes on Lake Tahoe needed some furniture updated to accommodate their growing family. All the furnishings are transitional to fit in with the older Tahoe Lake homes. This is the living, kitchen, and dining area in the second lake home that we refreshed the furnishings in. We replaced the old wood floors throughout the house with a durable and easy to clean wood looking porcelain tile.

This home office refresh focused on transforming a large multipurpose space into an organized, functional environment that reflects the homeowner's personality and interests. The room contained an extensive collection of books, family photographs, memorabilia, keepsakes, and personal mementos gathered over many years. Rather than minimizing these meaningful items, the design approach centered on showcasing them in a cohesive and intentional way. Bookshelves were thoughtfully styled to balance books, decorative accessories, framed photographs, and collectibles, creating visual interest while maintaining organization. Strategic furniture placement and improved space planning helped open circulation paths and reduce visual clutter, allowing the room's architectural features and personal collections to take center stage. The result is a home office that feels spacious, organized, and deeply personal—a space where meaningful belongings contribute to the design rather than compete with it.

A simple kitchen refresh with new two toned painted cabinetry. We refreshed the side of the island by giving it a slat feature and painted in the color Sherwin Williams Iron Ore. We updated the countertops to a quartz and also did a two tone feature with the hardware and fixtures. Having a mix of black and gold throughout the space helps elevate the room while being subtle. For the backsplash we recrated this design and had this tile custom made with Mercury Mosaic's helping creating a warm and inviting design to this space.
