Terri Brien Interiors’ mission as a Dana Point interior designer is to create homes that support the rhythm of everyday life while elevating it through thoughtful detail, layered materials, and a warm, collected aesthetic.
Our vision is to design homes that feel effortless, inviting, and naturally aligned with how people live. We aim to bring a warm ambience into each client’s home through a layered and intentional design approach. Our experience and organized process ensure the journey feels smooth and well-supported from start to finish, helping clients make confident choices that reflect their lifestyle. The goal is to create spaces that feel deeply comfortable and enriching, shaped by thoughtful design and a natural understanding of how a home should support daily life.
“Beautifully designed! Terri listens as a designer. She was able to pick up on what I like and even presented me with options I never would have considered on my own. She was also incredibly timely, communicative, and organized with her presentation. I trusted her and I love the design she gave me. Elegant and welcoming."
We find endless inspiration in the beauty of Dana Point. Known for its picturesque Salt Creek Beach—where locals and visitors alike soak up the sun, enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, and admire the rolling waves—Dana Point offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and laid-back sophistication. Beyond the beach, this coastal town is brimming with charm, incredible dining experiences, and a warm sense of community.
Kick off your weekend with brunch at Maison Café & Market; their La Ferme avocado toast is a favorite of ours. For an afternoon pick-me-up, nothing beats the delicious lattes at Giana (and as self-proclaimed coffee connoisseurs, we highly recommend them). When it’s time to unwind, we love grabbing a slice at one of our favorite pizza spots—Apizza Doho, where their fennel sausage pizza is a must-try, or Truly Pizza, where the crispy, bubbly crusts steal the show. These restaurants perfectly capture the heart of Dana Point’s culinary scene.
Inspired by the breathtaking coastal landscapes and relaxed elegance of Dana Point, we create interiors that feel elevated yet grounded, capturing the essence of your lifestyle. Our passion lies in designing spaces that balance function, beauty, and individuality. Let us bring your vision to life with designs that celebrate the unique charm of Dana Point. From luxurious, functional kitchens to serene, light-filled living spaces, we specialize in creating homes that are as warm and inviting as the community they call home.
