Your inspiration today is breezy beautiful California Mission style. One of the main elements of Mission style is a gorgeous terracotta tiled roof.

Style wins: Delicate scrollwork instead of over-bearing metal, alongside wood box beams and soft puddles of drapery fabric.

Arched doorways and coffered doors are especially inviting into a Santa Barbara-style home.

White dining chairs and walls reflect light and provide a feeling of calm, under dark wooden beams and an elegant chandelier.

Mission embroidery and leather chairs are historically flavored, boasts interior designer Madeline Stewart of this LA home.

Cooling brick-colored tiles underfoot are tempered by faux animal skin rugs in white, a familiar feature of Montecito-style homes. What a relaxing space….
