Between allowing sunlight to filter through, offering a soft place to land, and large mirrors to get ready in front of, these bathrooms are a welcoming place to ease into the day. #JulieRootesInteriors⁠ ⁠ ⁠Contractor: @drsstairsandconstructioninc ⁠ Photographer: @johnmerkl ⁠ Stylist: @matador_studio ⁠ #interiordesign #sfhome #bathroom #bathroomdesign

Palo Alto guest house from Studio JYO @studiojyo featured in @cahomeanddesign . Designed in collaboration with architect @brooksmcdonaldarchitecture , this 1970s structure is formed by two interlocking hexagons. The geometry was compelling but demanding. The ceiling planes were complex, and circulation had to be resolved carefully. Every interior decision needed to reinforce the architecture rather than compete with it. We chose to work within the form instead of correcting it. What began as an unconventional guest house is now a retreat that feels resolved and cohesive, integrated from structure through furnishing.

One of the guiding principles of our East Coast Meets West Coast project was blurring the line between indoors and out. With wide openings to the interior and a relaxed seating arrangement, the patio becomes a natural extension of the living space- perfect for entertaining, unwinding, and enjoying the temperate California climate year-round. #JulieRootesInteriors⁠ ⁠ Contractor: @drsstairsandconstructioninc ⁠ Photographer: @johnmerkl ⁠ Stylist: @matador_studio ⁠ ⁠ #interiordesign #luxuryinteriors #sfhomes #sanfranciscodesigner

Tripp Road Residence is organized around a series of open, poolside outdoor rooms that extend the living spaces into the Californian landscape, where generous glazing and permeable thresholds dissolve the boundary between architecture and garden. Carefully composed zones for gathering, dining, and quiet retreat are layered with water, planting, and warm natural materials, creating a relaxed environment that encourages a slower pace and a deeper engagement with light, greenery, and climate.⁠ ⁠ Architecture by @arcanumarchitecture ⁠ Interior Design by @jenniferrobininteriors ⁠ Landscape Design by @studiogreenlandarch ⁠ Photography by @johnmerkl ⁠ ⁠ As seen on the cover of @luxemagazine ⁠ ⁠ #ArcanumArchitecture #Arcanum #architecture #interiordesign #design #architecturaldesign #timeless #modern ⁠#contemporary⁠ #contemporaryarchitecture #interiors #california #sanfrancisco #custom #customdesign #californialiving ⁠#stonemasonry #stone #corrugatedmetal #roof⁠ .

“My goal is always to create environments that feel deeply personal to each client while supporting how they live-layered, livable, cohesive and thoughtfully detailed detailed rather than trend-driven. I want every home to feel unique to the client, not a replication of past projects.” - Julie Rootes, @julierootesinteriors Interior Design @julierootesinteriors Key vendors @phillipjeffriesltd @bungalowclassic @visualcomfort Photography @johnmerkl Publication @cahomeanddesign #primarybedroom #bedroomsofinstagram #interiordesign #interiordesigners #inspiration

In the dining room of our East Coast Meets West Coast project, the defining gesture is its @cowtanandtout wallcovering. Paired with sculptural lighting, the room creates an atmosphere that feels deliberate, yet entirely livable. #JulieRootesInteriors⁠ ⁠ Contractor: @drsstairsandconstructioninc ⁠ Photographer: @johnmerkl ⁠ Stylist: @matador_studio ⁠ ⁠ #interiordseign #diningroom #wallpaper #sfhomes
