Designer Lucie Ayres shares her secret for adding warmth to a stark, modern California home. The dramatic roofline, a showstopping 12-foot metal door, stone floors and black cabinetry throughout make this home the epitome of modern architecture. Lucie’s solution? To counterbalance hard design elements with softer organic shapes and forms. By incorporating natural materials like jute and wool, a palette of earth tones and soothing images of nature, Lucie creates a simple, elegant and welcoming environment for her clients.

Love it. Lots of natural light. Yes, the entrance gives a cold feeling but gradually the house becomes warmer with natural elements and color. And I love the teak bench.

[@land_banes2639]

I like the interior so cozy open airy and warm i wanna live a house like this it looks peaceful the zen vibes is awesome

[@sakinahabdul-jaleel]

THIS is a BEAUTIFUL HOME! I love how you broke down everything, especially how you warmed up the contemporary space by adding the natural elements! The way you broke down WHY you kept the artwork in the hallway neutral opposite the dark doors was eye opening, I hadn't thought about it like that before!

[@enjay4real]

Lovely! I love that there's the right balance of warm and cool, the spaces are light and airy without being stark. 'Clean' is what I'd call it. Love the addition of natural elements throughout and the elegant, relaxed aesthetic overall, the practicality of the furnishings and an outstanding outdoor space. The icing on the cake for me is the bathroom. Really special! My least favourite aspect was the nursery. Great job! 👏

Beautiful pendant from jute at entrance and dining area. And the backyard is so beautiful.

[@lilacDaisy111]

The style of house and interior style is just like Noosa Australia

[@valvacious2793]

I luv the teak bench!

[@rebekkad.2092]

The shower and bathtub are stunning!

[@Angelina_Rose]

Love the home but not the Hermés blanket. My favorite room is the bedroom. Lovely.

[@jenalunsford7597]

Okay, everyone drink a shot every time she says, “cold.”

[@KDdevidasi]

LOL or every time she says zjute instead of jute!

[@00VII]

Her trademark is cold 🥶

Well explIned

[@kathybroderick-schultz9485]

i would like to know what material is above the white baseboard in the house? it is a beautiful subtle touch.

[@jolaw6742]

The living space is amazing , But the nursery 🤐I don't like it at all

[@enjay4real]

Oh dear, I was going to say so too. But I really love the home. There's a really good balance of warm and cold and very practical furnishing. I especially love the wall art and photography. The outdoor space is outstanding!

[@OhJanney]

You'll need binoculars to see that TV

[@lenorepaladino8632]

It's an otter, not a beaver.

[@plaidraven6068]

🤣 First it was the "field" ... uh no, that's marsh... then the beaver-otter! I was watching this on TV and had to shut it off because I simply couldn't listen to her anymore. Right there, beaver (otter), that lost me! (I had to come find the house online tho to save for some ideas; our home has the exact same lines after a 90s remodel.)

[@tanyam3090]

Overall a great job and love the frameless internal doors….but….I am so not a fan of the kids room and the kitchen is a major let down. I would definitely re do both those rooms. Seeing the powder room wallpaper next to the wallpaper in the kids room makes my eye twitch.😅. The kitchen is predictable and has no personality. Lovely white oak with a modern door profile would have warmed up the space and would have looked so chic. So disappointing….

[@tanyam3090]

It looks cold and uninviting….beautiful ……. but wouldn’t want to live there and I don’t think guests would feel comfortable visiting. It lacks……personality. Maybe if you put in some timber floors it would warm it up a bit…..

[@dorothypuntarich784]

🙄🙃🙄

[@denisedonlon1496]

The place is looking good and I love the simplicity of it. I'm digging the elements that are natural along with the superb photography but why oh why oh why why why are you staying "zjjjjuuuuute".. The word is jute. It's very simple. Jute, jute, jute, practice that. Mercy! At least you are not wearing a backpack like Anne-Marie Barton.

[@micheller7442]

Je suis désolé de dire que cette maison manque d'âme, de personnalité et de de la verdure. Une cuisine noire fait mal aux yeux à la longue et aussi désolé mais aucun des papiers peints ne va bien. Globalement, cela donne une image indésirable de l'architecture contemporaine.

[@christopherone1]

bright white walls...I can't imagine living in a sterile bright white walls home...thought we were past this. I mean, it doesn't even get dark at night, it's just BRIGHT WHITE WALLS. BLAH.
