Age-worn leather works perfectly in these laid-back spaces because it exudes a touch of strength and offbeat beauty. Whether it's a small side chair, cozy lounge chair, or a full sofa, vintage pieces add warmth and wisdom to any room.
They also work well with the other essential elements of this style (more of that to come) since they're bold, functional, comfortable, and totally unpretentious. There's something fresh and innovative about California style. For a modern edge that breaks up the vintage pieces in the room, opt for hyper-realistic paintings or large-scale photography.
Landscapes, portraits, color, and black-and-white pieces are amazing additions to California-eclectic spaces. Depending on the subject, these art pieces can add humor or drama, and no matter the scene, it's essential to go large. A simple black or white box frame is a contemporary, formal take that balances the nostalgic feel and more casual aspects of this aesthetic.
