At Yelicca, we’re all about turning visions into vibrant realities—even when the budget is tight. Our latest project is a perfect example of this approach: a sleek, modern makeover for a charming California apartment, aimed at making it the go-to spot on Airbnb.

The Brief:

Our California client had a straightforward yet ambitious goal: to transform their cozy apartment into a modern, eye-catching retreat with a limited budget. The vision was clear—create a space that’s both stylish and inviting, perfect for Airbnb guests seeking a home away from home.

Design Concept:

Living Room: We started with a light olive green corner sofa, paired with a matching olive green chair and a crisp white coffee table. The color scheme is complemented by artwork that mirrors the room’s serene palette, creating a cohesive and calming environment.

‍

Dining Area: Next, we added a touch of elegance with light pink chairs around a sleek white dining table. This combination adds a fresh and sophisticated twist, enhancing the room’s modern vibe while keeping it warm and welcoming.

‍

Walls :

To tie it all together, we opted for classic white walls. This clean backdrop allows the room’s vibrant colors and textures to truly pop.

‍

Challenges and Wins:

We hit the ground running with minimal hurdles. Our client was open to our creative ideas, which allowed for a seamless design process. Quick adjustments and collaborative problem-solving made for a smooth journey from concept to final design.

Design Impact:

The result? A modern masterpiece that exudes warmth and luxury. Our design not only meets the client’s needs but also promises to offer Airbnb guests a tranquil and stylish haven. The blend of olive greens, whites, and soft pinks creates an inviting atmosphere that feels like home.
