Sunrise House

Such a calming space, the clients of this Santa Monica renovation wanted their Indian heritage to shine through and I think the designer, Lizzie Green of Popix Designs, has done that with a lightness of touch. It's the clever use of wood and brass that calmingly asserts the quality. The TV cabinet especially is a lovely piece of design, helping what can sometimes be rather a black hole disappear into the decor. 

The stunning wallpaper in the powder room is a welcome balance to the serene muted palette elsewhere. I love the drama here. The morning routine also played a factor, the designer's clients makes a point of watching the sunrise and this was marked with curves and arches throughout the house.

All the wood looks so tactile, the brief to the designer was to create a space where no where was off-limits to the children, and no matter how beautifully designed a chair maybe, it had to be suitable to curl up with a book. Lovely.
