Living Beautifully: The Coastal Elegance of Brooke Wagner Design

In the sun-drenched enclave of Corona del Mar, where ocean breezes meet tree-lined streets, Brooke Wagner Design has become synonymous with a refined brand of California living. The firm, founded by designer Brooke Wagner, is celebrated for interiors that are as effortless as they are elegant—spaces that embody the rhythm of coastal life while maintaining an enduring sense of sophistication.

A Philosophy Rooted in Balance

At the heart of Wagner’s work lies a philosophy both simple and profound: a home should be as livable as it is beautiful. Her interiors strike a delicate balance between polished refinement and relaxed ease, a quality that has made her one of the most sought-after designers in Southern California.

Rather than chasing trends, Wagner’s projects embrace timeless materials—washed oak, handwoven textiles, honed stone—and layer them with thoughtful details. The effect is serene, tactile, and deeply inviting, echoing the fluid connection between indoor and outdoor living that defines the California coast.

The Language of Coastal Elegance

Step into a Brooke Wagner home and you’ll encounter a language of design that feels distinctly her own. Sunlight filters through expansive windows, spilling across neutral palettes softened with ocean-inspired hues. Rooms are anchored by generous sofas upholstered in natural linens, accented with handwoven rugs, sculptural lighting, and art that feels collected rather than staged.

The spaces are never precious; they invite you to linger, to entertain, to live. It is this livability—an approachable luxury—that has become the firm’s signature.

Beyond the Aesthetic

What distinguishes Wagner and her team is their full-service approach. From reimagining architectural layouts to designing bespoke furniture and curating the final decorative accents, the firm shepherds projects from vision to completion. Every detail is considered, from the way light dances across a stone countertop to the placement of a reading chair by a window.

Clients often speak of the firm’s ability to translate their lifestyle into a home that feels entirely personal yet elevated. “It’s about listening,” Wagner has shared in past interviews. “The most successful projects happen when we truly understand how our clients want to live.”

A Reputation Built on Trust and Taste

Over the years, Brooke Wagner Design has cultivated not only a loyal clientele but also the attention of the design world at large. Her projects have graced the pages of Luxe Interiors + Design and Coastal Living, and her work is regularly featured on prestigious home tours throughout Newport Beach and Corona del Mar.

This recognition, however, is only part of the story. For Wagner, success is measured less by accolades and more by the daily experience of the families who inhabit her spaces. Her interiors are not simply showpieces—they are homes in the truest sense of the word.

The Future of California Casual

As the demand for elevated coastal interiors continues to grow, Brooke Wagner Design remains at the forefront, shaping the evolving narrative of California casual. Her work is a reminder that luxury need not be ostentatious—it can be quiet, natural, and profoundly comforting.

In every project, from a modern oceanfront retreat to a reimagined family bungalow, Brooke Wagner Design redefines what it means to live beautifully by the sea.
