LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGN AND STYLING

Across Orange County and beyond.

As a luxury interior design house, we work with heart and harmony.

Our guiding ethos is rooted in emotional design: The belief that our environments profoundly impact how we feel. It’s about crafting spaces that evoke warmth, comfort, and connection.

An intrinsic sense of duality drives every single decision—where contrasting elements come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about designing with purpose.

Our Signature Style

A harmonious blend—where clean lines meet charming details, and soft edges contrast with bold statements. A seamless blend of old and new—vintage treasures sit alongside contemporary pieces, creating a space that feels both timeless and fresh, refined yet effortless. Our style is designed not just for looking at, but living in.

At Velène Design, we’re not just designing homes. 

We’re designing the places where life happens. We do this through three signature services:

  • Full Service Interior Design for a full, white-glove design experience.

  • Design & Decor for room refreshes and smaller projects that breathe new life into your existing space.

  • Interior Design Consultations for those seeking expert guidance to refine their vision, while maintaining full control over the process.

A note from our founder
Velène Design House began as a personal journey—a story of transformation and connection to home. In 2020, my husband and I dove into our first fixer-upper, learning that a home is not just four walls—it’s the foundation for everything that matters.

It’s where we laugh, cry, celebrate, and grow.
Where we’re free to feel most ourselves.

What began as a labor of love ignited a spark. Through the process of transforming our home, I realized that my true purpose wasn’t just in design—it was in creating spaces that support daily life. After a decade in fashion design, I transitioned to interior design, with a vision to bring the same joy and inspiration I found in my own home to others.

At Velène, we believe in creating spaces that go beyond aesthetics. Every room is a reflection of the people who live there—crafted with intention, care, and a deep understanding of what it means to truly feel at home.

I believe that everyone deserves a space that they simply love to be. 

I can’t wait to help you create yours.
