Behind the Design 
Located in Rollingwood, just minutes from downtown Austin, this 1980s home was thoughtfully transformed through a main-level remodel rooted in California casual interior design. Without changing the existing footprint or rooflines, the renovation opened the kitchen, dining, and living areas to create a light-filled layout inspired by the homeowners’ previous coastal lifestyle. A creamy white palette, natural wood floors, unfinished ceiling beams, and layered shades of blue establish an airy warmth, while oversized windows and built-in bookshelves throughout celebrate negative space and the family’s love of reading.
Designed for both lively entertaining and quiet everyday moments, the home balances formal and informal spaces through intentional material selections like velvet seating and a polished dining table for elevated gatherings, softer textiles, and vintage rugs for relaxed family living. The marble-clad primary bath and thoughtfully integrated storage solutions further enhance function without sacrificing beauty. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable Rollingwood remodel that brings California-inspired interior design to the heart of Austin.
