California, known for its effortless, laid-back style, often inspires residents to opt for breezy, beachy décor details. This dreamy Southern California family home, however, stands apart from the rest. Thanks to the keen eye of Orange County-based designer Mindy Gayer, the posh Newport Coast home captures the Golden State's signature casual style without veering into the kitschy territory.

Boasting shades of blue, the interior's cool color palette sets the tone for the spacious, coastal-inspired Newport home. "As much as wanted to keep things light, we also wanted to infuse a bit of those coastal blue hues—each with their own unique tone—throughout all of the custom cabinetry and some of the upholstery pieces," Gayer told MyDomaine. "Nothing too beachy, but very much full of depth and character." As you'll see ahead, she nailed it.

Originally built in 1995 as a tract home, the three-bedroom home underwent a complete interior remodel. "Many of the homes in this community were built in the mid-90s and have a Mediterranean architectural style with a good floor plan, but the desperately outdated finishes and design details were in dire need of TLC," explained Gayer.

"The project was approached as a full interior gut and remodel," the designer explained. Not one room or finish was left intact, so Gayer worked with her clients to completely curate the space. "[We] started with a blank slate, even down the furnishings, so we were able to reinvent each and every space, tailored with the finishes and fixtures [my clients] loved most, all with a bit of personality," she added.

Home to an international family of three who moved to California to enjoy the state's quintessential indoor/outdoor lifestyle, Gayer aimed to strike a stylish yet functional balance. "We made sure to make every room is light, bright, and infused with a calming design sense, as well as bits of whimsy and personality to make things full of life—nothing too fussy that it couldn't be lived in and enjoyed by this young family," the designer explained.
