Home Tour // A Modern Take on Spanish

From the outside, this La Quinta, California space looks much like your typical home. But upon entering, it becomes clear that it’s anything but. Designed by the talented team at Studio Life/Style for a young family of four, the interiors reflect a relaxed and modern approach to Spanish style, utilizing an earthy color palette and plenty of texture to create a truly comfortable and inviting space.

Although the entire home ended up being renovated, the project began with much humbler ambitions – simply to change up paint and furniture. But as often happens in design, the scale grew, and grew to include more rooms (including the total renovation of the master bathroom after the stone was cracked during construction). What resulted is a home that stripped back the traditional elements of Spanish design to their bare essentials: simple, dark wood ceiling beams, tumbled stone floors and a streamlined white plaster fireplace. Adding in special pieces, like a custom stair runner made of hand-sewn kilim rugs, along with graphic accents, modern lighting and clean-lined furniture, gives this home it’s unique perspective on Spanish style. And while there is plenty of style, the designers also took into consideration the whole family, using outdoor fabrics on sofas for durability and making sure no space was too precious to be really used and enjoyed.
