Coddington Design

Interior design is highly personal - as your designer, we know where and how you eat, sleep, shower, and live. We know a ton about our clients but it's important that our clients know who we are too! So this week we wanted to introduce you to one of our incredibly personable, honest, and talented designers, Taylor! Taylor has been with Coddington Design since its inception in 2005. After establishing herself in San Fransico with Coddington, she moved to Los Angeles to start h...er family and took Coddington Design with her, expanding our project list across the state to sunny Southern California. As a mom of two young daughters, Taylor is exceptionally astute at designing for busy families and working moms. Wanna know more about Taylor? Check out our latest blog post where we ask her all about life, work, and design!

Celebrating Valentines Day a little early with a throwback to our rosé lounge in the @sfshowcase We love to have fun with color combos so we paired a pink sofa with dark aubergine walls!

So excited to have been included in "The 10 Most Popular Living Rooms of 2020" from Houzz! Our featured living room included a vaulted ceiling with shiplap and beautiful wooden beams. The high ceiling, gray walls and tall windows give the room a spacious and airy feel. Then we finished it off with some greenery (that gorgeous fiddle-leaf fig! ) to add some life to the space. ... Do you prefer more neutral tones or bold colors for your living room ?

Wondering how you can give your powder room an update? Our answer: Wallpaper Wallpaper can make all the difference and take your powder room from dull to WOAH ...

Design is global, it’s cultural, it’s the story of all humans; how we live, how we create. There is absolutely no excuse for any publication not to have a variety of cultures represented in an issue, and a variety of thoughts and distinctive backgrounds. Jeanine Hays, AphroChic

When you look around your home do you see a cohesive design style? Or is it a jumbled mess without a clear design direction? You've got that old thrifted table from college next to grandma’s antique sideboard and then there are those mismatched storage baskets filled with Legos and CD’s from the 90s (it’s okay, we’re all guilty of it ) That’s why our number one tip when tackling a redesign is to define your style before you start. If you know exactly what you’re looking fo...r, it will help narrow down your choices and the design process more enjoyable When we start a new design project, one of the first things we do is help our clients define their style with our Style Quiz (link in bio!) If you're clearly Refined Lux we won’t waste your time shopping for farmhouse lanterns or mid-century coffee tables. If you know you're Colorful Creative we'll steer clear of suggesting natural linens and all-white kitchens. This helps save time, money, and creates a more put-together, Pinterest-worthy look for your home. Tell us your design style! Is it mid-century modern? Colorful creative? Or something totally different?
