Warm, modern & casual

Lauren Nelson Design was hired to work in close coordination with the architect on finishes and furnishings for this gut renovation of a home in Tiburon that has been passed down among several generations.  The home was taken down to the studs and reimagined by opening up the kitchen and living spaces to allow for better flow, and by adding more rooms to accommodate the needs of this young family. The design aesthetic was driven by a love for rich colors, warm wood tones, soft textures, and a modern casual sensibility for this young family.
The earthy colours and wood in this home exudes such warmth and serenity. Also loooooove that creams rather than whites were used for walls and ceilings which speaks to me on so many levels since white is really not my thing and way too cold for my taste.

“This property is situated on the canals of Marina Del Rey and features ocean views on the top floor. The ambience is unique, and the home feels just like an Italian palazzo in the heart of Los Angeles. The home boasts 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, an elevator, sauna, and various living spaces and verandas. Playful, strong marbles were used throughout, alongside Italian-sourced lighting and special items found internationally and at local flea markets.”

A cottage finds its new personality

Posted on Tue, 19 Mar 2024 by midcenturyjo

Upon first inspection, this Connecticut cottage appeared neglected but its owners had always known the potential. After forty years it was time to fulfill their dreams with the help of Hendricks Churchill. The design team worked with an eye on the client’s budget and an appreciation for their desire to spend time at their new country house. The result is a cozy cocoon of a cottage rich with colour, pattern and personality.

“Art and Crafts meets Mid Century design in this characterful and homely house in North London. Beautiful timbers, terracotta flooring, handmade tiles and lime wash paint provide a calm backdrop to playful colours and prints; resulting in a home which is both uplifting and restful in equal measure.”

LA designer Gabrielle Aker “founded Aker Interiors with the innate belief that the spaces we inhabit greatly impact us. The power of beauty and the feeling of home is deeply consequential to the way we live, affecting our emotional, spiritual, & physical selves.” Interiors are highly personalized, a marriage of the client’s individuality and the studio’s eye for detail none more so than their stylish Chelsea project.
