A Life Inspired by Laguna Beach.

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Southern California, Laguna Beach is a place where natural beauty, artistic influence, and laid-back luxury converge. Known for its awe inspiring ocean views, charming village feel, and a deep appreciation for creativity, it’s a locale that naturally lends itself to elevated yet relaxed interiors.
Beyond its scenic beauty, Laguna Beach is an experience—one that inspires the way people live and create. From the galleries of Forest Avenue to the quietly sophisticated Montage, there’s an undeniable artistry to the way this town is shaped. One of our favorite spots to take it all in? The Rooftop Lounge, where we sip handcrafted cocktails and indulge in shareables like prosciutto & goat cheese bruschetta, or smoky chipotle wings while we take in the coastal views.
Art and culture are woven into the fabric of Laguna Beach, making it a truly special place to explore and appreciate this darling town. Every First Thursday of the month, the First Thursday Art Walk transforms the city as galleries open their doors from 6-9 PM, inviting guests to explore curated exhibitions while enjoying light bites and drinks. It’s a perfect way to experience the creative energy of Laguna Beach while discovering emerging and established artists.
Another beloved tradition is the Sawdust Festival, running from late June to late August, showcasing local artists and artisans in a casual, playful outdoor setting. Here, visitors can watch glass blowers crafting their wares, artists at work, and enjoy live music and delicious food, all while surrounded by Laguna’s vibrant art scene. These events not only celebrate creativity but also inspire a layered, artistic approach to design.
At Terri Brien Interiors, we take inspiration from Laguna Beach’s effortless elegance—crafting spaces that feel both curated and inviting, with a connection to their coastal surroundings. Our design approach reflects the balance of refined sophistication and organic warmth that defines Laguna Beach living. Whether designing a cliffside retreat or a tucked-away canyon escape, we thoughtfully layer textures, materials, and tones to create interiors that feel at once elevated and deeply livable. Natural light, and a blend of modern and vintage elements play a crucial role in shaping spaces that are both timeless and personal.
If you’re looking to create a home that feels distinctly Laguna—where effortless elegance meets everyday comfort—we’d love to collaborate. Whether it’s a new build, a full renovation, or a carefully curated refresh, Terri Brien Interiors ensures every detail is intentional, thoughtful, and uniquely suited to your lifestyle.
