This San Marino, California home by Carter Design blends French and Italian modern influences with a relaxed Californian vibe. The designers’ approach creates a harmonious mix of old and new, giving the living room a layered, collected, and comfortable feel. Founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife team Genevieve White Carter and Cy Carter, Carter Design is a bi-coastal boutique interior design studio. Known for their anthropological approach, they craft residential and commercial spaces that reflect the essence of their clients through a dynamic interplay of materials, art and objects.
