Lively Living Room
Designer Kitchy Crouse of KC Interior Design wanted to create a space that emphasized the coastal location of this Cardiff-by-the-Sea penthouse in Encinitas, Caliifornia without turning to typical design ideas. Crouse also wanted to match the client's vibrant personality, so the team used blues and oranges — the colors of a beautiful sunset sky — as a theme for the home. "My client was not afraid of color, pattern or texture," Crouse says. "That is just where I fit in."
