Contemporary 2

A contemporary ocean front house with all the bells and whistles.  We furnished this house to show off all its best accents with modern contemporary furniture, a punchy neutral color palette with a few brighter pops of color and an overall luxurious feel that’s fresh and fun for family and entertaining.

Dining Room

Modern Beach Style with a slightly glamorous edge. The client asked for a modern beach style with a slight edge to go with the newly acquired Cape Style home and their collection of old California Plein Air paintings.  So now we call a "Updated Beach Retreat"

Updated Beach Retreat

Contemporary - Ocean Blvd

We were brought in to design a furnishing plan for this extraordinary contemporary ocean front home.  We created custom pieces to suit the large scale of the rooms and play up the gorgeous views.  We brought in rich colors to play off of the warm wood tones and bright surroundings.  We balanced elements of nature with clean lines to maintain the contemporary architecture.

British Colonial meets Modern Beach House - Ocean Blvd

We lovingly call this project "Aristocratic meets Modern Beach House".  It has a British Colonial style exterior and at the owners request, an interior that is a mix aristocratic glamour, rich colors, all the modern luxuries of today and a hint of contemporary design.  The bones of the house stay true to its British Colonial style with white walls and dark wood accents updated for today’s living but the furnishings are where we got to have some fun. We designed custom cabinets throughout the house and used bright hits of color in the furnishings. Fine finishes with touches of true luxury were added like an early 20th Century French Neo-Classic crystal & bronze chandelier in the dining room and a multi-pendent crystal chandelier in the three story stairwell.

Jasmine 2 - Corona del Mar

We call it Santa Barbara Chic with a mix of Spanish architecture, a few Moroccan accents and a bit of modern contemporary for todays living. This Santa Barbara style design in Corona del Mar with a wine room and a roof top deck easily lends itself to entertaining and exudes a sophisticated, relaxed style. We wanted to create the perfect transition between indoor and outdoor living that clients in this area are so accustomed to.

Jasmine 1 - Corona del Mar

This home was designed to have a soft modern feeling, blending the clean lined Mediterranean exterior with warm elegant interior elements.

Neutral tones with tasteful splashes of color create a calming environment characteristic of the style and soul of this exceptional home.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modern farmhouse kitchen, and I’m happy to say that Maison Kitchen and Bath led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, our kitchen looks like it could be the envy of Pinterest.

They also helped me turn my claustrophobic galley kitchen into a beautiful open-space plan that makes me actually want to cook and entertain in the kitchen. I couldn’t recommend Maison K&B more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!
