Modern Desert Home

Desert-Inspired Home Renovation, California

This modern Mediterranean interior design project transformed a dark, dated home into a vibrant, sun-soaked desert retreat.

At Velène Design House, we reimagined the space to reflect a clean, earthy aesthetic—a serene oasis that feels like a vacation every day. Inspired by the surrounding desert landscape, we created a neutral palette with layered textures, accented by bold dark contrasts that introduce a contemporary edge to this modern Mediterranean home design.

Client Goals
Our clients sought to refresh their desert home interior design, desiring a space that was light-filled, inviting, and offered an escape from everyday life. They envisioned a home that was airy, serene, and rich in texture. We embraced their love for neutrals, incorporating materials that mirrored the desert landscape, and created a home that feels grounded and luxurious—blending modern Mediterranean home designs with a laid-back, vacation-style vibe.

Design Process & Solution
To achieve this aesthetic, we focused on creating an open, light-filled environment. White walls provided the perfect canvas, amplifying natural light, while a stone feature wall added an organic, raw element. The airy, functional kitchen combines clean lines with natural materials, and bold black accents complement the earthy neutrals, offering striking contrast. Layered textures throughout—plush textiles, natural stone—enhance the serene yet dynamic atmosphere, capturing the essence of modern Mediterranean interior design.

Our full-service approach ensured a seamless experience from renovation to furniture selection and styling, delivering a cohesive space that’s as thoughtfully designed as it is deeply personal.
