Terri Brien Interiors is a full-service interior design firm nestled in the heart of Southern California, creating bespoke elevated, livable environments shaped by thoughtful detail and expert guidance. We believe a home should reflect the people who live there through meaningful design choices, curated layers, and a lived expression of personal style.
Our approach blends timeless materials, modern sensibilities, and pieces with character and heart. Through considered composition and a discerning eye for sourcing, we design spaces that feel curated and collected rather than simply decorated. Every texture, finish, and form has intention behind it, contributing to the depth and personality of the home.
We focus on the details that quietly elevate how a space functions and feels. From proportion and scale to tactile materials that invite both use and visual interest, each decision is made with a holistic view of how the home will be lived in day to day.
With over 20 years of experience and a process rooted in clarity, Terri Brien Interiors leads clients through each decision with confidence. From planning to installation, we anticipate needs ahead and streamline the path to completion. The result is a home that feels elevated yet effortless, beautifully aligned with how you live today and adaptable to the life you continue to build.
