It’s not often that it’s the homeowner pushing for a more daring design scheme. That was the reality behind this newly-built family home in Southern California, though — a collaboration between Regan Baker, founder of interior architecture and design studio Regan Baker Design, and architect Eric Olsen.
‘One of our biggest sources of inspiration for the palette was our client herself,’ explains Regan. ‘She even pushed us in some cases.’ As a result, whimsical patterns, time-worn patinas and pops of colors underpin the modern home's playful yet cozy aesthetic; a trending interior design style Regan refers to as 'grandma chic'.
