Serving 90049 and Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica
Design that holds up — visually, functionally, and emotionally. We approach interior design as part of how you live, not just how a room photographs. Our design work informs every remodeling project we take on, and we offer it as a standalone service when a client just wants a thoughtful space plan, material direction, and curated selections without full construction. Husband-and-wife led, every project gets personal attention.
Every neighborhood has its own architectural character, permit jurisdiction, and finish-level expectations. Here's how we approach interior design in Brentwood specifically.
LADBS handles Brentwood. Hillside-zone properties (most of north of Sunset) trigger additional grading and slope-stability review. Plan check timelines: 6–10 weeks for kitchens, 8–14 weeks for hillside structural work.
Brentwood Village lots run 50'×130' typical, while hillside lots are larger but constrained by slope. ADU additions are feasible in both but the design approach is very different. We assess feasibility before promising scope.
Brentwood clients typically expect upper-mid to high-end finishes — slab counters, custom cabinetry, Bosch/Wolf-tier appliances. We source through trade channels to keep finish quality high without unnecessary markup.
Brentwood ID material spec generally favors performance-grade upholstery, engineered hardwood or durable LVP in high-traffic zones, and countertop materials that handle daily family use. Aesthetic still runs design-magazine-quality, but the durability spec differs meaningfully from Bel Air or pre-children Westside clients. We don't spec materials that need careful coaster-only use in a home where kids and dogs will be living the whole renovation's life.
Brentwood SFR floorplans frequently support genuinely distinct living zones — formal living, family room, kitchen, dining, home office, kids' play space — rather than a single open-plan space. ID strategy reflects that: each zone gets its own design language while maintaining a consistent material palette across the home. The result reads as a coordinated whole, not a series of unrelated rooms.
Brentwood ID procurement typically blends trade-only showroom sourcing for statement pieces (lighting, primary upholstery, key rugs) with accessible-catalog sources for supporting items. Custom millwork and bespoke pieces appear but in smaller proportion than at the highest-luxury tiers. The mix produces a design-curated home without committing to bespoke-tier procurement budgets for every piece.
How you actually use a room — circulation, storage, light, sightlines. We work backward from your daily routines to a layout that works.
Coordinated palettes — flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, paint, hardware, lighting. We propose options, source samples, and make decisions easier.
Bookcases, banquettes, closet systems, media walls, floating shelves. Built to fit your space, not pulled from a catalog.
Layered lighting plans — ambient, task, accent — with attention to color temperature and dimming. Lighting is the cheapest way to transform a room and the most often overlooked.
Where helpful, we coordinate with your existing pieces or source new ones. Not required — we're happy to hand you a design and let you furnish on your own.
Standalone interior design fees vary based on scope. We offer hourly consultation, room-by-room flat-fee design, and full whole-home design packages. Design fees roll into the construction estimate when we also build the project.
LA Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) handles permits. Hillside-zone properties require additional review. Plan check typically 6–10 weeks for kitchens, longer for structural or hillside work.

Yes. Many clients hire us for design direction, then bring in their own contractor or DIY parts of the work. We'll provide drawings, specs, and material selections that any contractor can build from.
For design-only engagements, yes — fixed fee or hourly. When we both design and build, the design fee is wrapped into the construction contract.
Yes. The flat-lot homes are some of our favorite to work on — older bones, charming proportions, room to upgrade systems while preserving character.
Older hillside Brentwood homes occasionally have settled or stepped foundations that affect remodel plans. We bring in licensed structural engineers during design to assess before scope is locked.
Open-concept kitchens dominate design magazines, but they aren't right for every home. When to keep walls and when to take them down.
