Benicia, CA Interior Designer | Complete Remodel Project

Benicia Home Complete Remodel

This home is perched atop the Southhampton Hills in Benicia, CA and has panoramic water views of the Carquinez Straits. The clients wanted to maximize the views. Arched openings replaced walls between the Living Room and Dining Room, and between Dining Room and Kitchen. Windows and doors were added to the Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Loft and the Master Bedroom to capture more light and appreciate the views. Each room throughout the home was designed and updated with new flooring, lighting, paint or wall covering, window treatments, furniture, lamps, accessories and artwork.

Foyer

This entry sets the tone for the clients love of clean lines and functional spaces. The custom wall-hung demilune shelf has a soapstone top with a wrought iron base, complimenting the start rail and balusters.

Living Room with Stone Walls

Open concept living was the clients main objective along with maximizing the great water views. By removing walls, adding large arched openings and adding more doors and windows, the views can really be appreciated from the entry through the living room, dining room and kitchen. The stone walls and wrought iron railing and balusters compliment the warm and inviting furnishings.
