TV host Breegan Jane shares how she designed her fabulous Southern California dream home in modern, approachable luxury style.
Whatever kind of dwelling you are designing, incorporating Breegan Jane’s modern, approachable luxury styling means creating an inspired, welcoming, true-to-you space that has touches of opulence throughout.
For Breegan, California personifies a love affair between the ordinary and the excessive. It is the beach and sun-drenched surfers, and simultaneously boutique stores and five-star dining. It’s street vendors and electric bikes, skateboarders and Muscle Beach. And it is Beverly Hills, mansions, and the bright lights of Hollywood. All of this is, and has been, her backyard. When combined, the aesthetic coalesces into a style she calls modern, approachable luxury. Think welcoming with a touch of whimsy, accessible dotted with allure, on-the-ground practicality meshed with a bit of pie in the sky. This vision and style are attainable anywhere.
Cultural connection is also a personal heartstring for Breegan, so look for African and handcrafted artistry and influences within the scope of her design. She employs custom furnishings when and how she can in this home for her and her sons, including beds, dressers, desks, etc. Custom-made or not, everything is well made and cleanly designed.
“California is my north star,” Breegan Jane writes. “It is altogether my yin and yang. The cityscape invigorates me. The Pacific waters ground me. The culture inspires me. They’ve collectively conceived who I am and continue to sculpt the masterpiece I will become.”
