Newport Beach, California

This Newport Beach home underwent a full transformation to create a vibrant, family-friendly home for a couple with two young children. Originally filled with unusual architectural quirks and outdated finishes, the house required creative solutions to bring function, flow, and character into harmony.

As the lead designer at Wendi Young Design, we were guided by the client’s love for rich color and traditional patterns and each space was thoughtfully reimagined to balance personality with practicality. From playful wallpapers and bold upholstery to classic millwork and tailored furnishings, the design embraces a layered, collected aesthetic.

The result is a warm and inviting home that celebrates individuality while meeting the demands of modern family life—with room to grow, play, and gather for years to come.
