Full-Service Custom Home Design in Orange County, CA

Crafting spaces that transcend aesthetics.

"My design philosophy is based on the feeling I want the room to portray. Every space is a balance of materials—textures, fabrics, metals, and the interplay between light, proportions, and negative space. It’s about finding the right rhythm between each element, ensuring the space feels like a reflection of you and how you live."

– Janiece, Founder + Principal Designer

    • Client Collaboration & Refinement – We present the concept, gather your feedback, and refine the design until it perfectly aligns with your vision and goals.

  • Refining the Details
    This phase takes the approved concept and translates it into actionable, detailed plans.

  • I feel that I have a house straight from a magazine.

    Janiece did an amazing job with my Modern Spanish remodel. Her attention to detail is exceptional. I am so glad I did the full package as she managed my whole project until the end. I will definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a designer. Thank you so much Janiece.

  • Hiring Janiece to design our home was the best thing we did for our family.

     From start to finish, she made the design process so easy. Her patience and quick response time were also greatly appreciated! She listened to our design concerns and wishes and created a home that not only functions well but fits our style. Her 3D renderings were especially helpful to get an idea of what the space would look like. She really wants the best for her clients and you can clearly see that through her hard work, organization, and attention to detail. We truly can’t thank her enough for creating the house of our dreams.

  • Her keen sense of design and aesthetics truly shone

    She not only listened attentively to our likes and dislikes but also skillfully translated them into a design that met/exceeded our expectations. Her keen sense of design and aesthetics truly shone through where it mattered the most – in creating a kitchen that not only met our practical needs but also reflected our style and personality. Janiece was always clear and responsive in her communication and ensured that we were well-informed at every step. We are grateful for her hard work and commitment to making our kitchen a beautiful and functional space.

  • Honestly, the best interior designer that we have ever worked with.

    The owner Janiece is extremely pleasant to work with and patient with all of our requests. Great communication, incredibly talented with her vision, and very creatively in tune with her designing skills. We hired her to help hone in our interiors for our living room space and then ended up hiring her for our entire home since we loved her work so much. If you are looking for an interior designer, she's definitely the one!

  • She has been the best part of the entire project.

    My husband and I bought our dream home last year, but the kitchen needed a major update. We hired Velène Design House and started working with Janiece right away—and she brought our vision to life while staying mindful of our budget. She’s honest, patient, has excellent taste, and truly goes above and beyond. From sourcing and storing materials to coordinating delivery around our schedule, she made a big project feel manageable—especially with two toddlers in tow.
