The Moreno Residence came to us as a structurally beautiful but chromatically indecisive home — a collection of rooms that had never quite decided who they wanted to be. Our client, a restaurateur with a refined palate and a love of warmth, wanted spaces that felt intimate without being dark, sophisticated without being cold. We responded with a palette anchored in deep terracotta and warm sand, softened by accents of aged brass and earthy linen. Walls were painted in a custom mixed tone that shifts from golden in afternoon light to a rich amber as evening falls — a quality we tested across six weeks and dozens of samples before committing. Beyond color, the project involved a complete decorative refresh: the sourcing of custom drapery in a hand-woven cotton blend, the reupholstering of three key seating pieces, and the careful curation of art and objects that speak to the family's Mexican heritage without tipping into cliche. The living room, once a flat and forgettable space, became the heart of the home — a room where dinner parties run late and mornings are savored over coffee. It is now the room the family shows guests first.
Interior Decorating Consultation / Color Consultation
Our designers take the time to understand your style, needs, and budget — and transform your space into something truly special. We don’t just make things look nice — we design with intention, layering color, texture, and function to create a home that feels personal, polished, and completely you.
Color is one of the most powerful tools in interior design — and one of the most misunderstood. The wrong shade can shrink a room, drain light from a space, or create an atmosphere that feels perpetually restless. The right palette, on the other hand, becomes nearly invisible: it simply feels like the space was always meant to look this way. At Design by BC, our interior decorating and color consultation service is built on the belief that every room deserves a considered chromatic identity, not just a coat of paint chosen from a fan deck.
Our process begins long before a brush touches a wall. We spend time understanding how you live in your space — the quality of light at different hours, the materials already present, the furniture you love and want to keep, and the emotional atmosphere you want to cultivate. We study your home's architectural bones, the way natural light shifts through the day, and the neighboring tones and textures that will interact with any color we introduce. This research phase is not optional; it is the foundation on which every good decision is made.
What distinguishes our decorating projects is the integration of color theory with real-world material knowledge. We don't just select paint — we curate entire decorative schemes that include soft furnishings, window treatments, artwork placement, lighting design, and accessory styling. The result is a space that reads as cohesive and intentional from every angle, where each element reinforces the next. Whether you are refreshing a single room or transforming an entire home, our team brings the same level of rigor, care, and editorial eye to every project.
