Gratitude
Having so much fun over here (truly) with Alicia, our up and coming designer who just so happens to be attending and finishing her degree in Interior Design at my Alma Mater!
It blows me away how God has intertwined our paths! So many “coincidences”! Not really! Even down to our outfits! 😂
Here we are working on a few projects, listening to French music and getting our creative juices flowing!
Bath Remodel by Pace Design
Looking back at a bathroom renovation we completed in 2019. We loved the mix of modern matte concrete-look floors and large-scale porcelain tile we took up to the ceiling. These elements highlight the fusion of modern and traditional design.
The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Designer...
We’ve seen it too many times before - homeowners take on a remodel themselves, thinking they’ll save money that way. By squeezing in the work around their 9-5 job work hours, they end up overwhelmed by a project that dragged on beyond their ideal timeline. This is where a professional designer comes in… even a single at-home consultation can make all the difference!
Side note - peep the shower zellige tile in after photo’s mirror reflection. 😍 Though we did a more robust change in tile in that part of the bathroom, minimal work needed to be done to the sink to make a large impact.

2024 Interior Design Trends
Let’s start with dark and deep tones – think jewel tones that bring the drama and create impactful and bold rooms. And gone is the trend of painting one accent wall with your color of choice… 2024 will see rooms drenched in these colors from top to bottom, giving a monochromatic look. With jewel tones comes an air of elegance, bringing us to our next trend – quiet luxury.
Quiet luxury is nothing new, but it will be a major focus moving forward. Investment pieces from artisanal designers lend nicely when looking to create a room that has a classic and vintage feel.
Going vintage makes it easy to practice the next trend of mixing historical eras. Don’t worry about sticking to one design style when accessorizing a room – look for pieces that entertain a collaborative mixture of modern and traditional.
Lastly, and you probably saw this coming based on the trends above, are furniture and rooms designed with character. Consider unique fabric patterns and a departure from the flawlessly staged designs often seen on Instagram that were influenced by the use of staged, monochromatic, and minimal furniture. Moving forward it is all about creating a room that caters to authentic living, based on the homeowner’s individuality.
Wallpaper Wednesday 2024
Truly one of our favorite performance vinyl wallcoverings, offered by Kravet. These can be used in places where you need that extra protection from moisture, liquid spills or your sweet little one’s fingerprints. This particular project we are working is for the back of a bar, where a sink and drinks will often be present. If you can find a vinyl that offers that peace of mind, go for it!
LA Mood Board
A modern and fun mood board for a new client in LA. She lives with a roommate so her bedroom was the focus of this project. Emphasis on bold color with a serene touch. Working with a younger client with a different aesthetic was so fun for us at Pace Design.
New Modern Options for our Studio
The Modern Resource 4 Collection embodies the connection between the natural and architectural. Earthy palettes and painterly designs meet contemporary line-work and metallic elements for a blended aesthetic that is both timeless and distinctly modern. A full look at the book is available on our Instagram page. Take a look and see for yourself!
End of the Year Recap

As the year winds down, we're smiling ear to ear, celebrating the fantastic designs we crafted together as a team—proof that having fun at work translates into spaces that truly shine!

What’s better than a subtle color for the front door on a black and white home? Pictured above is the green used for the main entry at our Fullerton project. It is Benjamin Moore’s “Jade Romanesque” #476, in case you wanted to know!
Completed Commercial Project
Our project in Chino Hills has come to an end! The employees of this firm now have comfortable seating for their lunch hour and company meetings, by way of a custom banquette and carefully selected furniture and fixtures!

Project priorities:
✅custom banquette

Moody Flat Lay
Felt like a flat lay kind of day. Sometimes it is just fun to practice creativity and create flay lays with different samples from our showroom. Here we put together something different with some of our favorite samples, with a focus on moody fabrics and neutral palettes. What do you think?
Custom Upholstery for Client’s Home
After the construction part of this project was complete, it was time to focus on furniture. The goal was to maximize the functionality of the space while keeping it cozy and contemporary. This custom low profile sectional with chaise and wood plinth base was a must for our clients. Check out the stages of its completion and the finished product on our Instagram!
Floral Powder Bath
Catching up from last week’s installations, I wanted to share this beautiful floral Harlequin wallpaper before the mirror goes in. Installed at another client’s home in Fullerton. Can’t wait to see the completed room!
2024 Color of the Year
✨Sherwin Williams 2024 Color of the Year is here! Upward SW 6239 is made with a “hint of silver lining” and is described as a breezy, blissful blue. What do you think?
European Interiors
There’s no question Europe is beautiful, both inside its historic buildings and outside of them. On Instagram I shared some shots of my favorite interior spaces from my recent trip. It included shots from hotels we stayed at, restaurants we ate at and other buildings we visited. There is so much inspiration around every corner!
