The designer Natasha Baradaran is a Los Angeles native whose family is Persian by way of Italy. “I am a mix of different things,” says Baradaran, who designs both interiors and her own lines of furniture and fabrics. “I think all of those things show up in my work. It’s what makes my point of view different.” That point of view shines in a house she designed recently, a farmhouse-style home for a pair of newlyweds in Santa Monica, California, where she paired Art Deco pieces with a more bohemian spirit.

Baradaran aimed to capture a sense of California casualness while resisting the temptation to give in entirely to informality. Her playful use of color in the home helps to maintain that balance; shades of pink stand in for neutrals in the living and family rooms. Elsewhere, she lets loose with even more surprising color combinations, like the breakfast room’s orange and teal palette.

Baradaran also relies on texture to heighten a sense of comfort. In the family room, she retained an existing architectural element, the ceramic faux-wood paneling—an effect that lends interest to the space without overpowering it—and further softened the room with a shaggy wool rug and curtains in a dip-dyed Rosemary Hallgarten fabric. The walls in the primary bedroom are sheathed in a hemp wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries; it is furnished with a custom bed and a curvy settee that nods to Art Deco but, with its swooping two-toned upholstery, feels light-hearted and fun.

“We didn’t want the house to take itself so seriously,” Baradaran says. “The clients are a young couple who are newly married, but it was also a marriage of their styles. And luckily, they are very, very happy with it.”
