Located in the northern Californian town of Tiburon, this stunning, four-bedroom residence was passed down through generations before being reimagined by Lauren Nelson Design as a modern family home, with rich tones and soft, tactile furnishings lending understated luxury and classic, hardwearing finishes carefully chosen to stand the test of time.

While the once impractical layout has been opened up to allow for better functionality and flow, an artful pairing of warm, caramel hues and soft, creamy textures imbues a contemporary sensibility to the interior, which the designer wanted to feel both airy and intimate. This stylish yet highly liveable home is now a serene haven for a mum and her two young sons, following a thoughtful and comfortable upgrade that will accommodate the family’s growing needs.

Lauren brought in sumptuous materials and vintage furniture to soften each space, with our pure linen bedding in our cool, mid-toned charcoal hue Tempest providing the perfect complement to a soothing, tonal palette in the master bedroom. Textural layers, from the walls and curtains through to the timber flooring and plush rug, come together to offer a cosy retreat, with our Flocca duvet cover and pillows adding a soft, handcrafted touch.
