California Casual (or California Cool) is a light and airy design style that relies on coastal designs to create laid-back, effortless spaces.

Cali Casual interiors are known for their neutral color palette while incorporate natural textiles, like worn linen, vintage rugs, or rattan/cane. They also normally have a unique piece of furniture, architect, or structure, like an octagonal coffee table or a leather sling-back accent chair. This adds to the “cool” and “effortless” style.

The Cali Casual look can be achieved by layering white, ivory, and neutral tones, warm light-oak or white-washed woods, greenery, and the occasional black decor to balance the space out. A California Casual home is normally very warm and inviting, and has that perfect elegance of relaxed and chic.
