WHERE WE WORK.
The Fourth House Interiors is an interior design studio based in Laguna Beach, California. The studio works with residential and commercial clients in Orange County, San Francisco, Southern California, and select locations nationwide.
Services include full-service interior design for renovations and new construction, covering furnishings, material selections, procurement, lighting, and installation coordination. The studio works with homeowners, architects, builders, and skilled trades.
WHAT WE DO.
-
Building from the ground up is one of the great privileges of design. It’s a blank slate where architecture and interiors can be conceived in true concert, each decision informed by the last.
We work alongside your architect and builder from the earliest stages, when the most consequential choices are still on the table. Ceiling heights, material palettes, the way light will move through a room at four in the afternoon — these are the details that separate a beautiful house from one that genuinely lives well. From millwork profiles to lighting plans, every selection is considered against the whole: the flow of daily life, the weight of a space, the quiet logic of a home that feels inevitable.
-
Renovation is, in many ways, the more demanding art. You are not working with a blank slate but with the bones of something existing, coaxing it toward a better version of itself.
We come in early, whether the project is a single bathroom or an entire home, and work alongside your architect and contractor to make sure the design logic holds from room to room. From in-person consultations and space planning to finish selections and furniture procurement, we manage every layer of the process. We stay close through installation, so nothing is lost in translation between the drawing and the finished room.
The goal is always the same: spaces that feel considered, cohesive, and entirely your own.
-
Some clients come to us with a clear vision. Others arrive with little more than a feeling, a sense of what they want their home to be without yet knowing how to get there. Full-service design is for both.
We handle every layer of the process, from the first conversation about how you live to the final arrangement of a room. Drawing from a curated network of craftsmen and trade-only vendors, we source and select everything: furnishings, fixtures, materials, artwork, and the smaller details that quietly make a room. Nothing is delegated to chance. Whether we are working through a single room or an entire home, the approach is the same: thoughtful, thorough, and entirely tailored to you.
OUR PROCESS.
-
STEP 1 - DISCOVERY.
Every project begins with a conversation. We offer a complimentary call to hear about your space, your goals, and what you're hoping to create. It's also a chance to make sure we're the right fit for each other, because that matters too.
From there, we move into an in-person design consultation where we go deeper: budget, aesthetic direction, the things that aren't working and the vision for what could. Everything we need to begin shaping a design proposal that is built around you, not borrowed from somewhere else.
-
STEP 2 - PRESENTATION.
Once we have your approval to move forward, we schedule a site visit to take detailed measurements and photograph your space. It's a quiet but necessary step, the foundation everything else is built on.
From there, we get to work. When we're ready to present, we bring the concept to life in full: floor plans, 3D renderings, material samples you can hold and see in real light, and a curated selection of furnishings and finishes. We walk you through every decision and why we made it, then refine until the design feels exactly right. Your approval is the only thing that moves us forward, and we don't rush it.
-
STEP 3 - EXECUTION.
Once the design is finalized and every selection approved, we begin assembling the right team to bring it to life. Depending on the scope, that means engaging architects, contractors, and craftsmen whose work we trust. We manage those relationships on your behalf. We also handle all procurement, placing and tracking every order so that nothing falls through the cracks.
-
STEP 4 - FINAL INSTALL.
When construction is complete and every piece has arrived at our receiving warehouse, we coordinate a full installation day. Furniture is placed, artwork is hung, accessories are styled. We don't leave until the room looks the way it was always meant to. Once the last detail is in place, it belongs to you. Not a project any longer, but a home.
