It is impossible to define Los Angele’s architecture and interior design by one style. It’s not unlikely to find homes ranging from Spanish Revival, to English Tudor, to Mid-Century Modern design. While the design sensibility of Southern California may seem disjointed to those on the outside, it provides a level of freedom to LA interior designers and clients alike. Rather than a space that reflects a staid design aesthetic, Californians are free to inhabit spaces that reflect their personalities, interests and aspirations. Take a look at our list of Top 10 interior designers in Los Angeles that create the Californian fabulous interior designs.
