The most impactful trend that will be easily felt this Spring season is the resurgence of color. Warm jewel tones will be seen in rich hues such as burnt orange throw pillows on the sofa and bedding with deep blue and green accent patterns.

After a year plus spent working from home and asynchronously handling tasks that would’ve previously required in-person effort, people are looking differently at what they require from their work and what their work requires from them.
Interior design is a complex thing. Bringing numerous elements in a space together in a way that fits and enhances what’s best about it is not easy to put your finger on. One person that certainly has gotten luxury interior design and architecture down to a science is Tara Bernerd.
Your house should be a place you are happy to arrive back to every day after work. It should be a place that feels uniquely yours, and for one lucky buyer in the Encino area, their home is guaranteed to feel unique, because it truly is one-of-a-kind.
