About California Cool Style

What is California cool style?

California Cool is relaxed luxury—an easy, lived-in aesthetic inspired by West Coast light and indoor-outdoor living. It mixes natural materials, soft neutral palettes, and comfortable, unfussy silhouettes for a look that feels both elevated and completely approachable.

Key elements of the look

Low-slung, comfortable seating; natural textures like rattan, jute, linen, and light woods; lots of greenery; and a breezy, uncluttered layout that invites the outdoors in. Nothing feels precious—it's a style built for bare feet and open windows.

Colors and materials

Lean into a sun-washed neutral palette—warm whites, sand, oatmeal, soft terracotta, sage—grounded by natural wood and woven fibers. Organic, tactile materials do the heavy lifting; color comes from plants, a little ocean-inspired blue, and the warmth of natural light.

How to get the California cool look

Choose a relaxed, deep sofa in a light neutral, layer a jute or wool rug, and bring in rattan, linen, and plenty of plants. Keep windows bare or softly draped to maximize light, edit out clutter, and let a few organic, handmade pieces add soul. Comfort and ease are the whole point.
