Their signature blend of laid-back style and clever design has captivated audiences, and their ability to create dream homes that are both beautiful and functional is truly remarkable. Their latest reveal, House 17 "Cali Cool," is a perfect example of their exceptional vision.
We were thrilled to see some of our pieces playing a part in this stunning House 17 project, adding those considered details that help to elevate a beautiful house into a truly inspiring home.
This design approach, inspired by the sun-kissed Californian lifestyle, is all about effortless ease and a connection to nature.Think relaxed vibes, an abundance of natural materials, and a light, airy colour scheme that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. House 17 beautifully interprets this by blending together Coastal, Boho, Scandi, and Mid-Century influences, resulting in a character-rich Californian Bungalow softened with inviting pink and muted tones.
The Coastal influence brings in the breezy, relaxed feeling of the ocean. Imagine natural textures like rattan, jute, and light-washed woods, paired with a palette of blues, whites, and sandy neutrals. It evokes a sense of serenity and connection to the seaside, perfect for creating calming and inviting spaces.
The Boho style injects personality and a sense of free-spiritedness. Think layers of textiles with intricate patterns, globally-inspired decor, natural elements, and a warm, earthy color palette accented with pops of vibrant hues. It’s about creating a space that feels collected, personal, and full of soul.
Scandi design emphasises simplicity, minimalism, and functionality. Characterised by clean lines, neutral colours (whites, greys, blacks), natural light, and the use of natural materials like wood and wool, Scandi interiors aim for a sense of calm, uncluttered beauty and practicality.
Finally, Mid-Century Modern brings a touch of retro sophistication with its clean lines, organic shapes, functionality, and a palette that often includes warm woods, bold geometric patterns, and pops of earthy or vibrant colors. It's about timeless design that feels both stylish and livable.
The effortless integration of these four styles is what gives House 17 its unique "Cali Cool" identity.
Let's take a look at how a touch of Few & Far brought an extra layer of texture and character to this Cali Cool renovation.
The kitchen, living, and dining areas are the buzzing hub of any family home, and House 17's open-plan design perfectly embodies this. In these spaces, some thoughtfully chosen Few & Far pieces played a subtle yet significant role.
The Moon Tray in Red Alicante adds a pop of colour and a touch of artistic flair to the kitchen, a perfect spot for displaying homemade creations or simply adding a visual accent. And for those everyday moments and stylish entertaining, our Odite Coasters in Pink Lagoon added a pink textured marble story while protecting surfaces with a touch of playful sophistication.
Our Arya Tray in Onyx Travertine brought a sense of understated luxury to the kitchen countertop, offering a stylish and practical surface for everyday essentials.
The heart of the home, where shared meals and laughter unfold, the dining space in House 17 was thoughtfully styled with subtle touches of elegance. Setting a refined mood, the contrasting heights of our Pilos Taper Candlesticks in Travertine (both short and tall) introduced a touch of sculptural elegance to the space, promising warm ambiance for family meals and gatherings. Adding an organic element, the Hazel Pot in Large brought a touch of natural texture, ready to house lush greenery or stand beautifully on its own.
Extending the style outdoors, our Odite Coasters in Pink Lagoon adds colour and a touch of playful sophistication to the outdoor entertaining area, enhancing the relaxed, Cali cool vibe.
The main bedroom in House 17 embodies a sense of calm and understated luxury, and carefully chosen decorative accents further enhanced this tranquil retreat. Our Sofia Travertine Bowl provides a grounding element with its natural variations and subtle elegance. Meanwhile the Naya Bowl in Pink Lagoon offered a delightful contrast, perfectly complementing the room's muted tones and creating a serene yet stylish focal point. These subtle additions underscore the Three Birds' talent for layering textures and hues to create spaces that feel both beautiful and deeply comfortable.
Even in the serene sanctuary of the main bathroom, details played a crucial role in achieving that signature "Cali Cool" aesthetic. Adding beauty and tactile interest, our Ray Sandstone Vase Large stood as a striking focal point. Its neutral tone and textured surface complemented the materials and light palette of the bathroom, bringing a grounding element to the tranquil space. Whether holding florals or standing alone as a sculptural piece, the Ray Sandstone Vase effortlessly enhances the relaxed and refined space.
Even the most functional spaces deserve thoughtful design, and the laundry in House 17 is a testament to this. Our Arya Tray in Onyx Travertine made another appearance here as a stylish organiser, bringing a touch of calm and order to a busy area.
The beauty of these carefully selected Few & Far pieces lies in their ability to seamlessly integrate into different areas of the home at different times allowing for restyling and maximising the use of products. They weren't just placed; they were chosen to complement the natural light, the open flow, and the inviting textures that define the "Cali Cool" home.
