Grab your palm leaves and your beach sandals because you have a California Casual interior design style!

You have excellent taste, love a good neutral base, and believe that there’s no such thing as too much white-oak wood (and cane!)

California Casual is a light and airy design style that has perfected the duo of being styled yet effortless.

It is known for a neutral pattern with textures and items that bring character, like worn linen or a structural tan leather accent chair.

This look is achieved by layered white, ivory, and neutral tones, warm light-oak or white-washed woods, greenery, and the occasional black decor to balance the space out. A California Casual home is normally very warm and inviting, and has that perfect elegance of relaxed and chic.

This style is notorious in the West, as local Californians and celebrities alike started ditching the gaudy gold fixtures and shiny rhinestones for a look that was more subtle, clean, and effortless. And while it may look very easy to achieve, it is quite a task to get a space to look effortlessly styled.
