“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."

Nestled in the rolling hills of Southern California, Rancho Santa Fe is a community like no other. Known for its Spanish-style architecture, lush landscapes, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, this oh so charming and peaceful village provides endless inspiration for creating homes that are elegant, functional, and uniquely personal.
When in Rancho Santa Fe we love grabbing breakfast or lunch at Thyme in the Ranch. This delightful café has become a local favorite for good reason. Known for its delicious baked goods, including pies, muffins, and cookies, Thyme in the Ranch is the perfect spot to relax and refuel. The interior drips with old-world charm, an indoor fireplace gets me every time! My husband and I are big fans of their Quiche Lorraine and avocado toast with bacon—simple yet packed with flavor. And no visit is complete without a latte and one of their chewy ginger snaps (I can’t resist them!). They also do the most amazing baked goods gift baskets, perfect for holidays, client gifts, birthdays, and hostess gifts! Did I mention they have a dog friendly patio? Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast or a quick snack, Thyme in the Ranch never disappoints.
For those who love discovering one-of-a-kind pieces, The Chapman Collection is a treasure trove of antique and vintage finds. From art and rugs to furniture with tons of character, this carefully curated shop reflects Rancho Santa Fe’s timeless aesthetic. It’s a fabulous place to hunt for unique decor that adds personality and depth to any space.

Rancho Santa Fe’s architecture and lifestyle lend themselves to designs that prioritize organic Materials like wood, stone, and plaster which bring warmth and authenticity to your space. Curated Details from vintage rugs to custom furniture and incorporating pieces with timeless character ensures a home that feels personal and full of life. With the mild weather we enjoy in Southern California, Rancho Sant Fe is a perfect place to enjoy Indoor-Outdoor Living to the fullest. By blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces with features like stacking glass doors (aka scenic doors) or utilizing complimentary natural materials inside and out it creates a connection to the stunning landscapes and surrounding beauty.
At Terri Brien Interiors, we take inspiration from the surroundings of the homes we design, and in Rancho Santa Fe, incorporating elements that reflect its Spanish-style charm and natural beauty feels like second nature. Our design approach is rooted in creating spaces that feel timeless, speak to the architecture of the home, and yet tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each client.
