It didn’t take Stefani Stein much more than one step into her clients’ condo to know that it would need a head-to-toe makeover. “It was so dark and so dated,” the designer says. “The colors were intense throughout. It was just too much.”
And though her clients had reached out to her primarily to renovate the kitchen of the 1,430-square-foot condo, located in Marina Del Rey, California, Stein was soon enlisted to overhaul the entire home. The result was a complete transformation from an ultra-traditional, heavy color palette, and ornate everything to one that embodied a simplified, modern, and classic take.

How to Embrace Wabi-Sab
Learn all about this Japanese trend of happily accepting life's imperfections, and get some ideas on how to incorporate the wabi-sabi trend in your own home.
By definition, wabi-sabi doesn't necessarily have a design connection. It's an ancient Japanese framework rooted in Zen Buddhism that celebrates the imperfect beauty of nature, with all of its natural flaws and blemishes. When embracing the wabi-sabi approach in your home, you can finally ditch your endless pursuit of the perfect vignette or sexiest shelfie. Wabi-sabi design means saying yes to imperfection, natural objects, texture and unique materials.

An Ombré Wall DIY You Can Pull Off | Architectural Digest
by
Our love for ombré walls in all their sunset-reminiscent glory just doubled—we've discovered the look is even easier to pull off than we first realized. Ombré wallpaper will always be a solid, low-lift option, but Portola Paints & Glazes recently pointed out to us that painting a color fade effect takes a lot less effort than you'd expect. Remember Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli's white-to-blush bedroom walls? Well, that was a collaboration between Portola and designer Stefani Stein, and what looks like a half-dozen shades of pink was actually achieved with just two paint colors. Read on to see Portola cofounder Jamie Davis show us the process step by step. Even if you never attempt this yourself, seeing the inner workings of an ombré is oddly satisfying...

Inside a Los Angeles Home for a Young Couple
For this home, interior designer Stefani Stein of Stefani Stein Inc. was asked to create comfortable spaces with a neutral palette for a young couple expecting their first child. "This design direction perfectly complimented the architecture of the 1930's home in the Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood," says Stein. "We wanted to honor the original details such as the ribbon moulding and wainscot, but with a direction that felt fresh, age appropriate and reflective of their California casual lifestyle.” says Stein. Bringing in contemporary artwork, hand-picked fabrics and wallpapers, and adding a touch of vintage, Stein has created seamless spaces perfect for a family to grow into.

If you are like me, the new year comes with resolutions. For many of us, one of those resolutions is related to transformation – eating more healthfully, getting organized or updating our homes.
