DANI BOYD DESIGN

Most rooms are designed to be photographed. I design rooms to be lived in.I am an interior designer based in Los Angeles, working primarily with clients in the Bay Area and LA who are building or renovating homes they intend to stay in. Not a trend home. Not a listing. A place that works for the life they actually have.My practice is rooted in environmental neuroscience, which means every decision I make, light, layout, color temperature, material, proportion, acoustic quality, is considered for what it does to the body that lives in the room. Not what it looks like in the photograph. What it feels like at 7am, at 2pm, and at 10pm on a Tuesday.I have walked into hundreds of homes. The ones that feel genuinely right share a quality that has nothing to do with budget or style: every element is considered in relation to the person, not in relation to a trend cycle.Named to LA Times 40 Under 40.If you are building a home you intend to keep, I would be glad to talk.
