Cozy California Cool Meets Modern Earthy Style

Even though there are plenty of other creatives in the modern rustic space, Amber is a lifelong Californian who understands California cool.

There’s something magic about the light, lifestyle, and relaxed vibes happening on the West Coast that will provide an education!

But that doesn’t mean we can’t capture a bit of it whether we live on the opposite coast or far from a coast…ahem.


Besides the obvious beauty of such unfussy, understated yet elevated cozy California vibes, there’s something else I admire about her work.

Across Design Styles, These Curated Looks Blend
You don’t have to feel hemmed in by design rules or pressured to fill your online shopping carts with specific wares to get the look.

I live in a Georgian style home that frankly was anything but laid back when we bought it!

Fancy staircase, formal moldings, glossy finishes, and dark everything felt unapproachable and even unwelcoming.


It has taken months to give the home an identity, and even then, you might think cozy California cool would never work with the architecture.

But it does, and it has in subtle, understated ways. Because it’s the spirit and underlying sensibilities of laid back luxe and earthy warmth that can guide you in decisions.

Whether it is selecting paint colors, the right sofa, or accessories, a relaxed approach can truly infuse your home with a mix that feels tranquil and effortless rather than contrived and busy. Our living room doesn’t scream any particular design style, but it has a mix of modern and rustic:



Restful Relaxed Design Elements from Amber Lewis
You’ll notice from the collection of fall cozy interiors here that moment after moment feels like the eye can rest or absorb beauty.

The vignettes and patterns feel comforting and inviting as opposed to showoffy and hands-off.

You’ll also note they veer toward being handsome and classic more than pretty or feminine.

Clean lines, geometric interest, and an earthiness contribute to the sense of grounded beauty yet hinting at romance.

Color is a critical component to striking such a lovely balance.
