Designer Katie Hodges brilliantly balances masculine and feminine design cues to envision a sensorial delight of a California home.And while the client’s style veered in a more contemporary direction, they didn’t want a ‘modern’ home. Hodges’ design aesthetic is rooted in warm, textural and organic elements, which, paired with the clients taste was a perfect collaboration. 

Natural materials, organic and considered shapes come together beautifully in very corner of this California home.And while the house is, on the exterior, perfectly at home in its sunny California setting, inside, Hodges has fashioned a global mix of influences. Within this warm, egg-shell hued space, calm and serenity reign supreme, ably supported by a rich palette of textures and natural finishes that range from blonde oak and brass to rich black metals and marble.

An earthy palette and myriad textures delivery maximum impact while still feeling approachable.On-trend chunky furniture with soft, inviting curves is complemented with architectural features like arches and amoeboid mirrors, but also juxtaposed with sharp, clean lines; a beautiful balance between the masculine and feminine.
