California Casual + Mountain Modern
California Casual is more than a look for those who live by the beach. It is a beautiful and strong aesthetic that includes natural fibers, earth tones and soft white fabrics that promote a relaxed sensibility. Wherever you live, you can take inspiration from this laid-back aesthetic.
This makes California Casual a perfect companion style for Mountain Modern, which has its own iconic approach to comfort and style.

What Defines the California Casual Look?
California Casual is defined by its focus on creating spaces that are soft and inviting, but also chic. This means a style that features neutral fabrics such as wool, cotton and silk, soft colors, and furniture that is built for comfort. Natural materials such as stone, wood, and leather are also key elements.
California Casual style does follow many rules of traditional interior design, but leaves the door open for asymmetrical layouts and large scale furniture that fits perfectly alongside functional pieces like upholstered ottomans and side tables. Its goal is to invite guests to sit back and relax. It’s a look that’s easy on the eye and extremely livable.

How Does Mountain Modern Style Complement California Casual?
Mountain Modern extends the palette of textures and materials. These include faux and natural furs, wrought iron and other metals, sustainably sourced leathers and cowhides, and a collection of natural fibers and grasses. The interpretations of style are unique and varying, and incorporate local materials whenever possible, specifically local woods and stone. Mountain Modern makes extensive use of reclaimed wood and incorporates antiques and iconic western memorabilia.
