European Charm Captivates in Home Design

During my visit, I enjoyed meeting Laura Brophy, a gifted designer in Orange County (Read more about Laura here).

The outdoor spaces exude charm, thanks to the Italian porcelain and reclaimed parfeuille pavers from the southern France. This property truly celebrates the art of living. And we invite you to join us as we take a closer look at the incredible collaboration behind this awe-inspiring custom home.

Custom Home – California Coastal Style

How do you blend indoor outdoor spaces?

Contemporary Kitchen Lighting

Above the kitchen’s Taj Mahal quartzite island, twin hand-formed wicker pendants take center stage, commanding attention and addressing the senses. The use of uber-textural statement lighting to create a cozy atmosphere is an increasingly popular trend in modern kitchen spaces. The large-scale tumbleweed-shaped island fixtures create a striking juxtaposition against the dining room’s elegant chandelier, adding a dynamic mix of whimsical lighting to the home. Shimmering light creates a playful and feminine flourish in the space. [Read: 2023 Kitchen Trends According to Designers]

Kitchen Cabinet Natural Wood

Custom home design trends are moving away from the starkness of white finishes and embracing the warm, inviting tones of natural woods. (7 Home Decor Trends to Look For According to Designers, Washingtonian) This approach creates a cozier atmosphere that welcomes you in with open arms. In addition to the shift in color, designers are now opting for single, carefully curated displays instead of multiple shelves. This approach adds interest to the space but also helps prevent the overwhelming feeling of visual clutter.

Kitchen Backsplash Ideas

But it’s not just about color and display. Glossy finishes on backsplashes have become increasingly popular as they create a reflective effect that brightens the room and adds a touch of sophistication. And when it comes to open kitchen storage, simplicity is key. Using a restrained color palette and design can help prevent the space from feeling overcrowded and allow the beauty of the pieces on display to shine through (Homes and Gardens Kitchen Trends).

The kitchen features a formal bar bejeweled with shimmering hand-formed Moroccan zellige tiles and a bar sink and faucet. It seamlessly blends in with the home’s overall design, providing luxury and functionality. Additionally, the beverage bar trend has been growing in popularity for elevating the overall home experience. It offers versatility in serving coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages for entertaining guests.

Custom Home: Butler’s Pantry

What is the difference between a pantry and a butler’s pantry?

Butler’s Pantry Ideas

As we transition from the luxurious beverage bar, we step into the stylish butler’s pantry with its perfect blend of aesthetics and practicality. It’s more than just a useful space; it’s a hub for nourishing meals. Plus, this is a working pantry designed for storage, meal preparation, and cleanup.

Working Pantry

Its spacious design includes modern appliances and a large working sink, ideal for catering to various dietary needs and hosting intimate gatherings or larger events.

In this beautifully designed custom home, the butler’s pantry is a testament to conscious living, promoting balance and well-being. It’s not just a trend but a lifestyle that fosters an unforgettable experience, supporting the home’s living experience. And as we move to the primary bedroom, a similar approach to design awaits, creating an inviting space for rest and relaxation.

Bedroom Inspiration

Now, let’s explore the captivating primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom, a perfect blend of comfort and functionality. As an added bonus, a water feature on the lower level creates soothing sounds throughout the space. Stepping into the bedroom, you’ll find a glass-enclosed private deck, perfect for enjoying ocean views just down the road.

Master Bedroom Ideas

One of the benefits of a large pocketed glass wall in a custom home is that it promotes a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Further enhancing the connection with nature (biophilic design), windows showcase lush trees and greenery, emphasizing the room’s nature-inspired design. [Read: White Tropical Bedroom Ideas]

Bathroom Spa

Next on the must-have trend list: is a bold floor-to-ceiling black steel fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere near the bed. You’ll find a textured black vanity top in the ensuite and an indulgent Victoria and Albert soaking tub. Separate water closets and walk-in wardrobes provide extra comfort and privacy.

Bedroom Lighting

In this space, lighting makes a statement as the mid-century modern-inspired AERIN two-tier chandelier commands attention. Its eight stylish black shades cast a warm, inviting glow throughout the room. Emphasizing quality over quantity, designers have carefully curated unique, thoughtful home decor to create a truly personal atmosphere in the primary bedroom.

Custom Home Office

After exploring the nature-inspired primary bedroom in our custom home tour, let’s shift our focus to another essential living space: the home office. Dedicated home office spaces are becoming increasingly important for productivity and focus as more people embrace remote work. This year, home office trends are leaning towards functionality, adaptability, and personalized design elements that cater to individual preferences. [Read: Making the Most of Your Home Office Remodel]

Home Office Decor

One emerging trend in home office design is the adaptable use of space. As seen in this custom home, a steel and glass wall offers the flexibility to transform the room into a guest room, gym, or playroom. This versatile approach enables homeowners to tailor their living spaces to accommodate their changing requirements.

But a well-designed home office goes beyond just adaptability. Notably, many homeowners seek light, bright, and airy spaces for their workspace. Clean, minimal designs with ample natural light help create an environment that promotes focus and a positive mindset. Bright rooms can enhance alertness and encourage the flow of creative ideas, making your home office a sanctuary for productivity and inspiration.

Home Office Desk

To further enhance your home office, consider a statement desk that not only looks great but also provides functionality. A power desk like the Kaela desk in weathered blonde or the Lindy desk for larger spaces, may resonate. Check out Alchemy Fine Home, 2Modern or Lumens for focal-point-worthy desks. With these design tips in mind, you can transform your office into a space that dovetails beautifully with your lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn to a striking, eye-catching power desk or a peaceful, light-drenched workspace, this year’s home office trends cater to diverse preferences. As you explore these trends, envision a home office that truly resonates with you, inspiring productivity and striking the perfect work-life balance.
